Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Reviews
There was some doubt that Uncharted could continue without Nathan Drake, but The Lost Legacy proves the series can march on with another lead role. I loved the previous titles in the series, and although this new one can miss the mark at times, it's a beautiful treasure hunting romp that brings back that same Uncharted feeling.
A pocket-format but delicious Uncharted, with two very well written characters in a wisely paced story full of all the main series' best features.

The Lost Legacy is a great game. It is very fun and visually stuning, although it doesn't introduce anything new and it feels like a déjà vu of Uncharted 4.

Forget Nathan Drake and Chloe Fraser, if you managed to bag The Lost Legacy as part of Uncharted 4's season pass then you're the real thief here. There's a staggering wealth of content to explore, the quality of which is easily on par with A Thief's End. The stakes may not be as high, but it's impossible not build a connection with Chloe and Nadine or revel in the set piece action and story surprises. As far as standalone expansions go, they don't get more epic than this.
"Lost Legacy" improves on "Uncharted 4," and its fresh characters give some new life to the series.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy proves that Naughty Dog doesn't need Drake to keep this series going. It's familiar in just about every respect, but given how much refinement has slowly crept up since 2007, it's cemented itself as one of the most reliable action-adventure franchises in recent years.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is an outstanding game that achieves the unexpected: to makes us forget about Nathan Drake. However, its narrative and plot leaves us with more questions than answers.

The Lost Legacy is a worthy expansion for Uncharted 4. Naughty Dog pushes right up to its own high bar in terms of story telling, visuals and gameplay design. So long as you aren't expecting an adventure of the size and scope of the base game, it'll be hard to leave disappointed.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a fun addition to the consistently solid Uncharted franchise. While this entry may be quite a bit shorter than the main numbered games, that doesn't mean the key components that constitute an Uncharted game aren't just as present. Indeed, you'll rarely see a game with this high of production values for only $39.99. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a tight, action-packed adventure in India, and a trip well worth taking.
Anyone concerned about the absence of Nathan Drake in this latest entry into the Uncharted series needn't have worried.
As Nadine and Chloe take over the franchise, the Lost Legacy offers up all the thrills, spills and puzzles we've come to expect and is better for passing the Bechdel test
Even though Lost Legacy isn't as big (you can beat it in around 10 hours) or as good as Uncharted 4, it's still just as fun. And as long as the franchise continues to achieve that, I'll continue to play each installment. With or without Nathan Drake.
Uncharted: Lost Legacy is another Uncharted game, for better or worse. I loved its length and characters. I would love to see more spin-offs now that Nathan Drake's journey has come to an end. I feel like we don't get enough of these action adventure style titles and am always up for another one. I might say we don't need another Uncharted game once again, but if the series returns, you know I will be first in line to eat my words.
If there was ever any doubt of the talent at Naughty Dog, consider that Uncharted: The Lost Legacy was made in less than a year. This sensational spin-off not only beds in two of the franchise's more mysterious characters, but it also gloriously repurposes several of the series' best moments. As a pseudo-Greatest Hits, the title will do little to tempt those who've had their fill of treasure hunting – but at a budget price (with multiplayer included) then this is essential for fans of PlayStation's most iconic brand.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy does pretty much what we expect from it. The visuals are stunning, and the cinematic gameplay are as jaw dropping as ever. The new system that let us explore the world more freely feels a bit odd, though – and is in need of more polish.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy - beautifully crafted completely independent adventure, which has everything we love in the series. The game draws in an incredible maelstrom of events with exploration, puzzles, lively characters and stunning action scenes. And it's very pleasant that it was Chloe who became the main heroine of this story.

Taking the better aspects of classic and modern Uncharted, The Lost Legacy is a short, explosive chunk of adventure. Chloe and Nadine are elevated far beyond the supporting roles they once played, and both end up as interesting, formidable, and highly likeable characters, among the best in the series in fact. There's a greatest hits feel to some of the set piece moments, and the story takes a little time to get going, but this manages to be both a fresh direction for the franchise, and a warmly familiar experience.
This is Naughty Dog at their AAA best.
The Lost Legacy eases off the set-pieces and globe-trotting, to its detriment. However, the heartiest of Uncharted's staples – its characters, camaraderie, and cutscenes – are here in abundance, and overall it's an extremely capable action title.
When the game settles into straightforward action, it comes across as a retread of past Uncharted entries.
