It improved on the formula of the first two games. I was fond of the variety in the chapters, with a good mix of the different gameplay styles. Sequences like the mansion fire and the ship escape stand out a lot. Other than that, I had fun with the improved arsenal of weapons.

Graphically, this game has quite a distinctive artstyle. I liked the realism of it a lot, from the arid deserts to the intricate interiors. I also felt that the sound design was a step up from the first game, on par with the second. Some great tracks and performances.

I liked the game's story, but there are some aspects of it that didn't click with me. Chloe and Charlie being written out in favour of Sully was pretty weird, and I don't like how the game did yet another Sully fakeout death. The exploration of Nate and Sully's relationship and pasts was neat, the extents they would go for one another. Conversely though, I think Talbot and Marlowe could've been a lot better. Apart from the sequence where they drug you (and Charlie before that), I don't think they lived up to my expectations. Still, it was an exhilarating quest, even if it wasn’t for some grand treasure.
