#75 Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception (Playstation 3, 2011)

I really love the Uncharted series, every single game I have played of it. But Uncharted 3 is the only one I have played in the series that I do not really want to play again. Not to say that it isn't good; it's an outstanding game both for its time and also now. But I would rather play any of the other games again than this one.



Although the overall story is strong, there are large stretches of the game that kind of just spin its wheels(I'm looking at you, ship graveyard). And while Whiskey Nick thinks the "hallucination water" is fine, I thought that was actually really dumb and in general not fun, with a very unrewarding climax to the game.

I do have to give it credit where it's due, though. The Chateau is a highlight and so is the stowaway sequence. Learning more about Nate's past and his relationship with Elena was also satisfying, even if in Uncharted 4 they decide to go straight back to those wells.



The multiplayer was also great and enjoyed long-lasting support from the developers, with plenty of content updates. It was not quite as much to my liking as Uncharted 2's more classic-style multiplayer, but that's probably just me getting old.

So the whole package was a bit of a step down after what came before, but maybe my expectations for this game were just too high. It may seem weird to dunk so much on a game that I have as one of my top 75, but Uncharted 3's flaws are really what separate it from the other games in the series. Rest assured, I will talk more about why I love these games later on.
