For me, the Uncharted series ranks like this:
Uncharted 4 => Uncharted 2 (I just can't decide which is better overall)
Uncharted
Uncharted: Golden Abyss
Uncharted 3
Uncharted 3 had problems. A lot of them. It had horrible pacing, the story made me yawn more than once, and overall it was not a strong entry into the series. The "supernatural" enemy was pretty bad too. Really bad. I still remember that horrible fight with several of them near the end game where they could literally take multiple missiles apiece and not go down. That isn't fun anymore. That's just bad enemy design, especially when they can drop Nate in just a small handful of hits even on normal. Enemy placement was bad, the game didn't feel as tight and fun as Uncharted 2, the storytelling got pretty lazy at times, and overall, it was a really disappointing sequel.
It's the only Uncharted game I haven't revisited and have no desire to. I genuinely dislike the game and find it to be the blacksheep of the Uncharted series. Even the Vita entry feels tighter and of higher quality, thus my inclusion of it over Uncharted 3 in ranking.
