Which action adventure games are better than Uncharted series in your opinion?

Playing The Legacy of Thives on PC, wow! . Gears , Tomb Raider games are nothing compared to this lol.

Well?

Tlou for me was better. It had a darker tone and good gameplay along with a better mp. But they messed up the story badly and it's the end of it for me.

Doesn't take much to be better than UC.

Almost every.

both TR and uncharted are crap but TR even more so.

I don't know if I'd declare Tomb Raider a better series but I think the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot as a stand alone is hard to beat. Of three of the current reboot it balances the story, exploration and combat the best.

But I would definitely say Gears of War is a much more enjoyable series overall but more solidly defined as a shooter than an action adventure, and as a shooter Uncharted barely holds a candle to it.

I prefer the TR games with its metroidvania design.

The tomb raider reboots are hot garbage.

Everyone

A lot. 😅

I enjoyed Uncharted 1, 2, and 3. Still need to play the fourth one. However I enjoyed the Gears of War games and the Tomb Raider reboot trilogy more.

I personally enjoyed Gears of War more honestly

Tomb Raider reboot was definitely better too.

The only good Uncharted games for me are 1 and 2

Zelda. Fable. Classic Tomb Raider.

Any game where mechanics are the priority vs the glossy cinematics.

Alan wake 1 was also better than entire uncharted series.

Doesn't take much to be better than Uncharted.

Uncharted was the embodiment of everything wrong with gen 7.

Thankfully, The Legacy of Thieves collection was mostly ignored on PC, which shows we have thankfully moved away from that sort of game.

Honestly not much.

The Last of us 1 & 2 and that is pretty much it. Unless we count other sub-genres of action adventure like God of War (hack and slash action adventure) and Metal Gear (stealth action adventure)

I go back and play Tomb Raider 2/3 every couple of years.

Don't like new Tomb Raider games, and even really the stuff starting from Legends.

Rather play Soul Reaver games as well.

These have large intricate levels that reward exploration.

Without using a guide it's very easily possible to find stuff you didn't find before years back in a game like Tomb Raider 3.

Uncharted doesn't really have that. I don't care for it. So, I mostly ignore it.

Most

Too many to list my guy.

If I had to point to a time when AAA gaming began to diverge from my tastes and preferences, 2007 was it. Uncharted and its lasting influence was one of the major players in that. Uncharted, Assassins Creed, CoD4... what a cursed year for gaming, regardless of the good stuff it had. We just can't seem to get away from the influence of those games.

Uncharted is an action adventure in which the action is weak and the adventuring is non existent. Spend most of these games funneled through a film set. Nothing wrong with that degree of linearity for an action game, actually a good thing when the gameplay has substance... but, Uncharted. Platforming that might as well be a cutscene. Context sensitive actions everywhere. Left with a basic TPS and even more basic stealth for most of these games.

At its height can say that when Uncharted 4 lets you play, actually has some fun enough combat spaces. About it.

Legend of Zelda, Metal Gear Solid, and Grand Theft Auto.

People can talk **** all they want but, Uncharted is one of the greatest action adventure franchises of all time. Uncharted 2, in particular, is one of the greatest games ever made.

About as succinct a summary as you can get.

OG Tomb Raider games have dog shit combat and dummy AI, but the levels are colossal with actual danger, a sense of scale and exploration where actively looking for resources as a reward.

Even in games with colossal sized maps like Odyssey, it just blends into each other as busy work.

No highs or lows, a flat path.

Right, for whatever mechanical shortcomings those games may have, they still deliver on adventure and discovery. And yeah, there's actual risk, the games have teeth. The gameplay is the point, not just some mindless inbetween for moving the plot forward and wowing you with production values lol.

Man, this post kinda ruined 2007 for me.

I remembered it for its highs. But you are right, 2007 was cursed. It marked the beginning of my abandonment of AAA games, instead going to indies and AA studios (I consider Nintendo to be AA since the Wii). 2008 was my last straw and I found refuge in indie games.

Valve and to a lesser extent Desura really saved that gen.

Looking at posts in this thread, the reputation of the Uncharted series has clearly tanked hard. The comments here are extremely critical of the games.

Glad Naughty Dog moved on to TLOU.

I prefer The Last of Us games to be way better than Uncharted and to me, Uncharted should stay in the past for good and I want Naughty Dogs to keep going with TLOU so yep, TLOU games are just a much better action-adventure games.

Nothing wrong with Uncharted but UC4 was meant to be the end forgot the series so let it be.

@Maroxad:

Right, in isolation it wasn't a bad year by any stretch, lots of good games.

But yeah a few of the worst gaming trendsetters of the past 15 years somehow released within a few weeks of each other lol.

Delete November 2007. We lose Super Mario Galaxy among others, but it's a worthy sacrifice.

@girlusocrazy:

I get what you're saying, but compare away anyways. OP said action adventure, that's a broad spectrum of games.

Shadow of the Colossus, Resident Evil 4, Sekiro, Death Stranding... all kinds of games that seem nothing alike can fit into such a loose category.

The Tomb Raider reboots are bad / not “TR” in my old fart book … but I think they are fun as their own standalone entity (I.e., if not viewed as the same IP) and certainly upstage UC in gameplay

The only thing that compares is TLOU, and of course it's made by the same team.

Why are the hipsters suddenly hating on the Uncharted series? Because it hit mainsteam appeal?

And why are hipsters obsessed with Bloodborne? Because it's extremely niche and gothic?

The Legend of Zelda series

Metal Gear series

Wonder Boy series

Resident Evil 1-4

Tomb Raider I & II

Alundra

Soul Reaver 1 & 2

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time trilogy

Because UC was always meh, and because we've had a lot of them, people finally woke up and see this franchise for what it is, a massive MEH. Bloodborne is a special game that doesn't fail at anything but performance, so when there's a rumor about a remaster/remake, everyone goes crazy cuz if it runs well, it becomes a perfect game. If Bluepoint releases a remake next year, its guaranteed to be the most talked title of the year surpassing all the newer releases.

@theam0g: I have always hated uncharted with a passion! But I also think BB is crap so…

Uncharted was dumped on from the start and also had mainstream appeal from the start. Nothing sudden about it.

What a dumb post lol

Don't think I've played any action adventure game that I'd consider worse than Uncharted.

Tomb Raider and Gears BLOW away the UC games. However, UC games are still enjoyable. Well, except Lost Legacy, which is a woke dumpster fire and jeep driving simulator.
