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

Words don't do this game justice. Simply fantastic.

Initially, the game was conceived as a DLC for Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, but in the process it became an independent game. Let's look at the meaning of the game and find out whether it is worth evaluating this game as an independent one.

The meaning of the game Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is to search for a legendary artifact-the Tusk of Ganesha, for which the main characters - Chloe and Nadine-go.

For Chloe, finding the Tusk is a personal matter involving her family. The treasure is being hunted not only by heroines, but also by a dangerous rebel leader named Asav, who has an army of mercenaries at his disposal.

Some aspects of the game's meaning:

• Immersion in Indian culture. The setting of the game is based on real culture, which allows you to convey to the player a sense of admiration for the historical and cultural heritage of humanity.

• Character development. The game develops the personal stories of the main characters, in the course of the adventure, a connection is built between them, revelations are revealed, and "crown" jokes are formed.

• Work together. The heroines learn to work together to solve the mystery of the artifact, fight their way through fierce resistance, and prevent the region from plunging into chaos.

Obviously, the game deserves to be independent, the graphics and controls are very similar to the previous parts of Uncharted.

Category: Interesting facts...

• During the development process, the game format has changed many times. At first, the authors thought about a full-fledged Uncharted 5, then planned a small addition in the spirit of The Last of Us: Left Behind, but realized that such a modest scale is not suitable for the series. As a result, they chose an independent adventure, which is inferior in duration to the fourth part.

• In the eighth chapter, you can find an item called "Strange Skull". This is a predictor skull from The Left Behind expansion pack for The Last of Us - where Ellie found a similar item.

• Containers that can be hacked have the serial number 1232001 on them. This is not a random set of numbers, but the date is December 3, 2001. On this day, Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy was released-another creation of Naughty Dog studio.

"If you dive into the water next to Nadine in chapter five, Nadine will tell you that she doesn't have time to play Marco Polo, and Chloe will laugh. After that, the prize "Water treatments" (Marco Po-No in the English version) will be awarded. This is a reference to the second Uncharted - in which the protagonist Nathan Drake, once in the pool, tried to play "Marco Polo" with Chloe.

• While traveling in a jeep and constantly hooking the car, the main character realistically shifts the hook with the cable from one hand to the other, depending on her position relative to the game model.

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

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.
