8 Uncharted: Fight For Fortune ꦛ 🔯

Master Of None

It feels unfair in some ways to label Uncharted: Fight for Fortune as its own entry within the series. It is a digital card game spin-off to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a PS Vita spin-off that hardly anyone ever talks about anymore. It feels wron♔g in some ways to stack it side by side with the real heavy hitters within the Uncharted series.

But, judging it purely as a digital card game spin-off to a PS Vita spin-off that hardly anyone talks about anymore, Uncharted: Fight for Fortune isn’t half bad. The card battling mechanics are basic but at least technically sound and the fan service is sure to please passionateܫ 🌸fans of the series.

7 ꦍ Uncharted: Fortune Hunter 💝

Temple Run

The series went into… ahem… uncharted territories with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:this mobile phone spin-off that was designed as a complementary experience alongside Uncharted 4. There are unlocks in Uncharted: Fortune Hunter that will give y💃ou some extra goodies in the PS꧃4 game, but thankfully, the game itself is pretty fun to play.

While it won’t win any awards for being the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:greatest mobile game of all time, Fortune Hunter is a competently designed puzzle game t♚hat you can easily sink ♌some time into while on the train or under your desk at work. There are enough levels and challenges to keep you coming back, even if the lack of any real story feels like a wasted opportunity given the series’ rich characters and lore.

6 🎶 Uncharted: Golden Abyss

Viva La Vita

There are two main ways to look at Uncharted: Golden Abyss: it’s 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:significance as a PS Vita game, and it’s relevance within the larger Uncharted universe. As a launch game for Sony’s HD handheld system, it’s a triumph. The gorgeous visuals and dynamic gameplay that you would expect from an Uncharted game are all present here – ensuring that Golden Abyss remained one of the few PS Vita games that truly del🔜ivered on the system’s original promise.

However, when examined against the rest of the Uncharted games, the cracks with Golden Abyss begin to show. As๊ a prequel, there is surprisingly little narrative material in this game that has lasting implications for the rest of the series, meaning that Uncha💝rted: Golden Abyss can feel, at times, like a bit of a golden abyss.

5 Un༒charted: Drake’s Fortune

Where It All Started

T🥃here’s almost something quaint about returning to Unchar🎶ted: Drake’s Fortune. While the game does show its age, there’s something charming about the plot that is simultaneously pulpier and deals with lower stakes than anything that came after it.

What was clear from the beginning was the unquestionable chemistry between the game’s leads. Drake, Sullℱy, and Elena are instantly likeable and their quest to find the lost treasures of El Dorado was an incredibly entertaining romp that left PS3 gamers wanting more.

4 😼 Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

Return Of The Chloe

Depending on how you look at Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, it’s either an over-achieving DLC, a slightly underwhelming Uncharted 4.5, or a highly engaging side adventure that finally places you ▨in the shoes of someone who isn’t Nathan Drake. In truth, the game isꦗ all three of those things at once.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy does build upon the game🥂play innovations of the fourth game in really compelling ways. Most notably, the mini-open world sections make a return, adding an extra layer of freedom and exploration to a series that can often feels too scripted and linear.

3 Uncharted 3: Drake&rꦺsquo;s Deception

The Sands Of Time

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception signalled the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:end of the series for▨ the PlayStation 3, and Naughty Dog really pulled out all the stops for this third instalment. The game pushed the system to its very technical limits,☂ but it’s all worth it fo﷽r just how jaw-droppingly gorgeous and cinematic much of the experience is.

These days, Uncharted 3 gets looked over compared to some of the other entries, which is a shame. Some of the best character moments and set pieces of the entire series take place in this game, and it’s well worth revisiting if yo✅u haven’t given it another go since 2011.

2 Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End💫

All Things Must Come To An End

After almost a decade of pumping out excellent Uncharted games, Naughty Dog finally decided to pull the curtains on this iconic series with Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. And 🅺what a way to go.

Everything comes together for an epic conclusion, including the introduction of Sam Drake as Nathan’s older — but perhaps, even less responsible — brother (voiced by the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:ever-reliable Troy Baker). The gameplay was more open than previous entries, which he♒lped keep𒐪 things fresh as the series entered a new generation of PlayStation consoles.

1 Uncharted 2:ꦐ Among Thieves

Still The King

From the moment you wake up as an injured Nathan Drake on a derailed train cart hanging over the cliff, Un𝓰charted 2: Among Thieves never once lets up. This is pure video game popcorn, and in the best ways possible.

This is a perfectly paced game, one that understands how to utilise its characters and tell a story🏅 that keeps you hooked from start to finish. Add in some generation-defining set pieces and a cinematic style that was unlike anything attempted before, and you have the definitive Uncharted game.
