Uncharted Games Ranked
Okay so
the Uncharted games are some of the best games around…but which is the best? I
wont include Uncharted Golden Abyss. I have played it but I haven’t beaten it….it
just doesn’t seem that good to me. Hey maybe I’ll beat it like the others one
day….These games are all cinematic action adventures that play like a movie.
Let’s get into it.
5) Uncharted: Drake’s
Fortune (8)
Ah the first Uncharted game.
Your first introduction to Nathan Drake and company. It’s a decent game and an
early PS3 game originally. The other games are just SO MUCH better. However playing
this helps you understand the core characters more…specifically Drake, Sully,
and Elena. The game has bad controls and hit detection too….Honestly I don’t think
it’s a must play, but yes I do like it. The final boss fight is so wack tho….Hey
everything starts somewhere right?
4) Uncharted: Drake’s
Deception (9)
You will notice that DD is a
full point higher than DF. Well this is a must play. Its biggest gripe is
actually that it came after a better Uncharted game. Drake’s Deception is great
though. Like all uncharted games it has sections that are annoying like when
you play as young Drake. And there’s some continuity errors here with Uncharted
4…but I’ll get into that later. The melee combat is better here than Uncharted
2. The enemy variety is good too. The plot is kinda…..well it just gets a passing
grade. Some of the action pieces are a beauty to behold. The part on the boat
is terrific.
3) Uncharted: The
Lost Legacy (9.5)
The ladies Uncharted…also
the one without a single appearance from Nathan Drake. Spoiler alert, his
brother is in it lol. The game has great pacing and it also is kind of open
world-ish at one point. Chloe Frazier and Nadine Ross are strong characters. I
would have liked to play at least one segment as Nadine however. The game has
the mechanics of Uncharted 4….pretty much exactly. I cannot think of one gameplay
feature here that isn’t in U4. However the game is a blast to play despite being
only 9 chapters.
2) Uncharted 4: A Thieves
End (9.85)
I had to give this ranking
some thought. A Thieves End is a brilliant game. It is really long, and the end
part seems to drag a bit. The pacing overall is great however. The graphics are
amazing too. The grapple hook is a terrific element too. Also in this game you
learn Drake was with his brother at a young age and not Sully like in Uncharted
3. The villains are good too. One of them is Nadine Ross who is hard to beat.
The puzzles aren’t as hard as some other Uncharted games. The combat is refined
from Uncharted 3 as well. This could have been a fitting end to Uncharted
games, but I’m glad they made Lost Legacy.
1) Uncharted 2: Among
Thieves (10)
Among Thieves is the one that got
me into this series. The pacing is perfect. The action sequences are incredible
too. The game is like what Uncharted 1 should have been. The enemy variety is
great too. It also introduced Uncharted multiplayer modes. If you played
Uncharted 1 first, the jokes here will make more sense. The train sequence is
one of the greatest in all of gaming. The combat is better than Uncharted 1 as
well. The stealth sequence early in the game is kind of annoying but if you take
your time, you won’t mess up that much. Overall this is the “Empire Strikes Back”
of Uncharted games.
