This is my first time playing the Uncharted series. My score is the average of the score I would give each game individually.

Uncharted 1: Awkward cover shooting sections separated by linear corridors with some horrendous jetski portions sprinkled in as a gimmick. Story is generic Hollywood. 4/10.

Uncharted 2: Mechanics are improved and we're starting to see the impressive action set pieces the series is known for. Shooting is better but still not good. Story is generic Hollywood. 5/10.

Uncharted 3: Mechanics continue to improve and the set pieces have gotten genuinely really cool. The way Drake himself controls still feels frustratingly wonky and inconsistent, especially in heated firefights. Story continues to be generic Hollywood, which just keeps wearing thinner the longer I spend with the series. 6/10.

These games definitely benefitted from having some of the first great voice acting outside of MGS, the MCU not having burned us all out on unflappable quip-sayers, and (for UC2 and UC3) being the one of the most beautiful, envelope pushing tech showcases of the year they released
