Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

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.

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

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.

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