Uncharted 2 and 3 ripped you away from their lost worlds way too fast, and played out way too similarly. The way the story of Captain Avery unfolds is so carefully done, so expertly crafted with mystery and teases, and the final reveal is so enjoyable as it combines the personal story of Drake and Sam with the brilliant sense of adventure and treasure hunting. I didn't completely buy the emotional slow moments either, but in my opinion, the treasure story in UC4, far exceeds all other Uncharted games. The burning house, airplane, and sinking ship, and the train/ collapsing building seem more memorable than UC4's setpieces. It also seemed to rely too often on sliding and swinging to end off any setpieces, and stealth was never anything to write home about with Uncharted games, as they are more about the action shootouts. But that's my only real issue with UC4, in addition maybe to not having a standout setpiece like UC2 or UC3. I'd say UC4 has some pacing issues as it doesn't touch LoU or UC2. Pacing in UC2 is top tier, next to Last of Us. The puzzles also felt like it required more thought. UC4's final boss fight was not only very fitting, but the villain was the best in the series. Lazaravich and Yeti boss fights were both "run in a circle and blindfire" "Look in the book, and follow what we laid out". The puzzles were way too easy and clearly there as buffers for the action. What I disliked about 2 was the puzzles and boss fights. 2 changed a lot and 4 brought some great closure to the series. That all being said, when I really think about it, I honestly couldn't really choose between 2 and 4. It wasn't until Uncharted 2 that Naughty Dog really went for the cinematic approach. I think Among Thieves was exceptional and A Thief's End recaptured that feeling.

It wasn't quite like 2 and 4 but still not quite like 1 and Golden Abyss. That sort of just leaves Uncharted 3 to be its own game. I would say Golden Abyss is a lot like Drake's Fortune and Among Thieves most closely resembles A Thief's End. While I very much enjoyed 4 and can be considered at least on par with Among Thieves, if not better, Drake's Deception (Uncharted 3) was probably the most unique. I think the general consensus is that Uncharted 1 is considered the worst of the series.
