That's got to be a contender for the least helpful comment of the year. OP is clearly aware that people like it more, they're wondering what aspects of it make it more widely liked.
(Spoilers Inbound for RotTR)
I think one thing that really hurt RotTR is its absolute mess of a plot. While Uncharted 4 isn't amazing in that regard, RotTR's feels like a discount version of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Mystical artifact that grants immortality being guarded by an incredibly devoted group of natives and a guy that's lived for hundreds of years, hero finds themself in a race against time to get said artifact before a cartoonishly evil organization that might as well be the Nazis, hero ultimately retrieves the artifact but chooses to not use it due to a last second realization. Only in RotTR, these points are explained far more poorly than in Indiana Jones. We get no explanation as to what caused Lara's snap decision to smash the Divine Source, especially after she goes on and on about how much good it could do for the world, and the dad issues portion of Lara's character arc is handled very sloppily.
For what it's worth, UC4 has plenty of issues in the plot department as well, but at the very least it does feel like its own story and all the major points are explained satisfactorily.
