In my opinion, we were way too spoiled with that extended UC4 demo. ND brought the big guns with that, and every time I look at RoTR, it's nearly impossible to not notice the obvious differences that are in Uncharted 4's favor. Plus, it's seems like RoTR is very linear now, and not as open as the last one.

I hope they didn't think the openness was what made it less than uncharted :/
Climbing around in the open arenas to collect things was what kept me going in the game. At least that had a little bit of puzzle platforming.

The tombs and puzzles were better in Uncharted, as well as the sense of discovery and pacing. They need to focus on that. Uncharted was more like TR than TR reboot.

Uncharted had puzzles!?!

Yes, it has. Actually they are very simple, but they fit quite well in the game narrative and they are somewhat believable.
