I think it’s probably a fair assessment, 3 is a bit of a mess but at the time of release the cutting edge presentation and performances held it up. 12 years later it definitely hasn’t held up as well as 2.
The funny thing is it actually plays extremely well, and in that PS4 remaster they went back and re-did the gunplay and controls of 1 and 2 to be based off of everything in 3, much to the benefit of both games. The original Uncharted 1 really isn’t awesome, but with Uncharted 3’s gunplay and controls it’s a much better game. Uncharted 2 with those mechanics is even more of a masterpiece! So U3 definitely had a net positive effect on the series. One of my favorite game OSTs too.
