Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

Lost Legacy is not as exciting as Uncharted 4, a whole lot shorter than Uncharted 4, and yet still as fun and visually jaw-dropping as Uncharted 4.

I'm Sorry, It's Better Than Any Tomb Raider/10

The Lost Legacy doesn't really do anything the best in the series, but is overall the best package simply because unlike every other Uncharted game, there isn't a single tedious moment of gameplay (except perhaps the final fight with Asav, but that lasts mere minutes). Throughout the game, Chloe is a fantastic protagonist and while Nathan Drake is one of the greatest video game characters, it is actually a good thing for one to play from a different perspective. This removed the incredibly boring Drake's journal sections in turn of a more reward lockpick system and more visually appealing photos. The areas in which you could use stealth weren't as well constructed as they were in UC4, but the combat was and the combat was generally more exciting and less frustrating. Sam Drake is an awesome addition again, but is left out just enough to remind that this isn't a Nathan Drake tale. The two aspects that Lost Legacy absolutely knocks out of the park are the puzzles and the visuals. The puzzles, for the first time in the series are actually enjoyable to figure out and the visuals, while similar to UC4 are absolutely stunning. The open world (Chapter 4) has gotten some criticism for not having much to do, and while this is somewhat true, the open world is still fantastic because it is a first for the series and there are still 11 hoysala tokens to find, meaning there are still 15 substantial things to do on the map. The reward for finding all of the tokens gets you The Queen's Ruby, which makes the treasure hunting actually doable. Taking each UC game as whole, this is surprisingly the very best.

No pun intended - just when you thought all was over .. well actually this was announced quite early I think. And the very first one of these that I did platinum! That alone would or should be reason to give it a ten I reckon ... add to that the story ... but it is quite short playtime wise. Though it never was meant to do anything more than give us a bit more ... to soothe the blues one may have felt after the Uncharted 4 ending ... well overall ending.

That all being said, it is also the first Uncharted game where the player takes control of a female character ... for a whole game. Some might say it went full circle back to Lara Croft ... but never forget, there was Indiana Jones before that. Although you never had a game quite like the Uncharted or Tomb Raider games ... this may be a small affair (no pun intended), but a nice add on (another pun?) ... I really liked it ... and if you are an adventure game fan ... well play(station) on.

Pros:

• Great story & characters (despite no Nate)
• Great fast paced Gameplay
• Good car exploration areas
• Nadine is a badass
• Great graphics, voice, animation

Cons:

• Not allot of innovation from Uncharted 4 (thou doesn't need to be)

Verdict: Feels abit like Uncharted 4.5, but its kinda intended to be. Still a great game to get, and a must play if u love the Uncharted series.

8/10

It's way too short! Such a fun game. Beautiful scenery, amazing story and tons of girl power. I also loved the surprise character showing up. Really hope they make another game with Chloe and Nadine. Maybe one where you can chose who you want to play as.
