Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

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

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

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Uncharted: The Lost Legacy" (2017) is a superb spin off of "Uncharted" series. Set in the same universe after the events of "Thief's End" it does not star our bellowed Nate, but Chloe instead. Accompanied by another character from 4th part (and later but another one - no spoilers) she sets out to find a relic in India. While the plot of "The Lost Legacy" isn't as great and epic as 4th games (which i think is still the best in the series), the story was never a driving force behind the series. What i absolutely loved about "The Lost Legacy" was jaw-dropping beautiful settings, amazing and graphics which made me from time to time and again and again to simply stop and look at the world around you - its breathtaking. It took be around 8 hours to complete this game - this is the shortest game in the series, but i did not rushed and looked explored every nook and cranny of it.

Overall, "The Lost Legacy" is a superbly involving action adventure game with terrific pacing, clever writing and blockbuster level production. I do hope they won't end this series with this game and continue with the franchise in the future. I loved this game.

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.

This all out action adventure never ceases to amaze me providing some of the best scenery with a great location and a new lead protagonist in Chloe Frazer. Previously she was the anti hero of the Uncharted series, now she kinda still is in an annoyingly boisterous way. She has always been unpredictable but is calculated in her approach whilst being quite laid back at times too. Throw in Nadine Ross and you got the recipe for a dynamic duo in archaeology, they are just one tusk away from preventing a civil war! I can't help but think this could've been a co-op story mode to fulfil the gamer completely. Somehow I always tend to be more intrigued by the bad girls and Chloe Frazer is no exception to this theory. She has the ability to do the right thing when it really matters however we can never be hundred percent sure that she will. Like most uncharted games this has plenty of puzzles, treasures and third person action. I'd say it has one of the best endings of any action game with very cinematic explosive climax. Definitely well worth sticking this one out to the very end. Some have been disappointed this game isn't particularly long yet I sometimes prefer the less is more approach. Often we can get too engrossed into he gaming world without really having time to process it! This game gave us a sample of the world around us and how valuable it really is. These exotic surroundings should be explored in our own life's rather than just through the eyes of a video game.

There is also the return of another major character even so I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise. In order the obtain the tusk Chloe and Nadine must overcome a ruthless warlord and his army of insurgents whom are looking to trade the tusk to the highest bidder or so it seems. This isn't a game where the narrative is the key focus although it does have some compelling moments. Overall it was really fun bringing another solid experience to the franchise.
