Here are my rankings and some thoughts for this up and down series.
Uncharted 2 Very well paced and killed at the time of set pieces with quick flow arcade gameplay. The time when story was just fun and not have to be serious.
Uncharted LL This may actually be the best in the series for me but is masked as a quick re skin so loses a step. This game is like the greatest hits of 2 with UC 4 improvements to the series. It fixes the exploration of 4. It is a trimed down version but the exploration of that one area is bigger and more meaningful gameplay wise. This also has hint of what it would be like to do these games in a none linear fashion. If the series ever returns its time to do the entire game like that open area.
Uncharted 4 gameplay was all over place in terms of pacing. TPS is actually quite advanced borrowing TLOU encouters design with blend of UC traversal. Unfortunatly they had mechanics for climbing and decided to remove them while keeping a lot of nonsensical climbing. On balance I think ND and and before that Amy Hanig struggled with direction for the series here. Druckman story is king focus ment gameplay had to take a sit to meat production deadline. None the less story wise its probably the best characterization of the series if it even needed that.
Uncharted 3 eh
Uncharted 1 This was a bad game to be honest. A game that was also limited by the ps3 hardware difficulties and a studio first try at something new.
