It’s been a while huh? I’ve had my head so wrapped up with exams and just life in general I completely forgot to give any sort of shit to the uncharted series. Now I love the second game, and after I’ve reviewed this one I can’t wait to get on with reviewing the fourth game, I really can’t wait. Uncharted 3 is interesting tho, it’s mid as hell but there is a slight charm to it? I’ll try and explain in this review should I?
Our story begins in London off all places, where Nate is forced to give up his ring and we meet the best and only great character in the game: Charlie cutter. Now I could go on and on about how great this character is but that would be too nice, and anyway it’s not like he’s in it for long. Our story takes us from London to France to Yemen and finally the great city of ubar. And idk why but I find the story to be pretty short and lacklustre. Like the chapters aren’t that interesting and even when we play out as teenage Nate it’s still not that better (4 did it a lot better). The villain is also pretty uninteresting for me, and near the end we don’t even get to fight her in any form, we have to fight her right hand man talbot (I do understand fighting an elderly woman would be wrong in almost every single way but I never had that much hatred for talbot so it was kinda…meh).
The gunplay is very similar to the second game which I’m glad about. Trust me if it was like the first games this would’ve been in the trash. The puzzles…well…the fucking puzzles. There’s this one puzzle where you have to line up this light to somehow make this picture with these different body parts and oh my god it was absolutely impossible. No matter where I went I could not tell where to put it. If you didn’t use a guide for that puzzle then you are a god among us.
So…uncharted 3 was pretty mid all things considered. Yes I did give it an extra half star but only because of the tiny bit more interesting plot and better gunplay from the first game. It’s still pretty mid and it’s not a game I would say you’d fully enjoy but it has its moments.
Kind of mid, consistent gunplay, terrible puzzles, fuck the desert section
