In combat, Nate often asks Sully if he's doing okay, and vice versa. Uncharted 3 builds the dynamic between Nate and Sully. For Nate, Sully is Uncharted 3's biggest gamble that keeps players on edge. The sequence of events that unfolds in its eight-to-nine hour campaign is easy to predict given the series' history, but unlike Uncharted 1 and 2 Naughty Dog raises the stakes at every turn that keeps things engaging and intimidating. In Uncharted 3, Drake, Sully, and the rest of the gang pursue lost riches of paradise that could alter the shape of humanity. While the studio perfected its formula of producing strong dynamics between its lead characters in The Last of Us and The Last of Us 2, that glimmer of perfection is also seen in Uncharted 3. The Last of Us is known for the complexity of its main characters, Joel and Ellie, something that's rare in video games. Naughty Dog excels in developing a wide array of characters in meaningful and believable ways. While its setpieces sum up some of Uncharted's best moments, the dynamic between its main cast of characters remains etched in players' minds. In fact, Tom Holland compares the Uncharted movie to Indiana Jones and James Bond.
The Uncharted games are perfect video game incarnations of big-budget action movies.
