Another descriptive review (excerpt)-

What would you say if I told you there is a drug hallucination sequence in the game? Or a sequence that tests the limit of what it feels like to be claustrophobic? Or a set of brilliant puzzles that feels inspired by The Goonies? Or a few emotional scenes that will genuinely get you choked up? ALL OF THIS STUFF IS IN UNCHARTED 3! And it is all glorious.

The game just keeps getting better and better and better, until you realize how sad you are that it is almost over. I truly did not want the game to end.

Review: Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception -Destructoid

It's rare to have a game that makes reviewers sound like children opening presents on Christmas morning.



Of the few reviews that have complained about anything, it's been because it "didn't change the formula much" from the last one. There's a new AI system that's more dynamic but at the same time isn't always on point was another one. The last critical bit was enemies are still bullet sponges. Ok, not a problem for me, only the more encouraging to aim for the head lol.
