Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Reviews
When the game settles into straightforward action, it comes across as a retread of past Uncharted entries.
The Lost Legacy is both Naughty Dog's fun farewell to the Uncharted franchise, and a pitch for where it could go next. The smaller scale works for such swashbuckling adventures, and its more open-plan design shows how the series should evolve. Early promise falters around the halfway point due to some noticeable shifts in what the player is able to do in any given space, but it quickly ramps up again to a spectacular finale. The game also serves as a reminder of how strong the supporting cast of these games has been. Chloe makes for a fine hero, and Nadine would have been as well. Perhaps they'll get a chance to return one day.
If this is the last Uncharted game for Naughty Dog, it's a great epilogue to Uncharted 4 and a solid guide on how the game should move forward in case Sony wants to bring on another developer keep the franchise going.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is an amazing new chapter for this fantastic franchise. Although the game follows a pretty conservative formula, the way it presents it's gameplay, story and visuals, is almost perfect.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a tightly compacted Uncharted experience that leans heavily on the established structures and mechanics from the past. But its new choice in cast and creative, emotional tale that really makes the brief journey shine - from one massive action spectacle to the next.
Even if the formula is still the same, without any significant new gameplay element, The Lost Legacy succeeds in being a very good stand-alone in the Uncharted universe. It's a gorgeous (probably the most beautiful PS4 game at the moment) and funny ride, and its loveable and very interesting protagonists surely deserve to get a another shot in a more consequent and surprising game.

If you're a big Uncharted fan that would love to see more of Chloe and Nadine, The Lost Legacy is definitely for you. There's no ifs, ands, or buts, about it.
It might be shorter – as reflected in the price – but The Lost Legacy is a great Uncharted and a dazzling example of a studio at the top of its game. To be honest, I wouldn't have believed that Chloe and Nadine could make such fantastic, sympathetic protagonists or that Naughty Dog could stretch the formula out for another 10 hours, yet it has and I loved every minute.
With Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, Naughty Dog has once again raised the bar when it comes to cinematic action games, delivering an experience that is equal parts exhilarating and ambitious.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy honors its parentage with engaging characters and exotic landscapes, setting the stage for more of the best action gameplay out there. It's much of the same, but that's OK when “the same” is this good.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy expands on world and characters in the series in smart, exciting ways, while also offering some of the best puzzles and adventure Uncharted has ever seen.
More than a simple DLC, the latest chapter of the Uncharted series, The Lost Legacy, gives us a long lasting, various and exciting adventure, clearly proving that the series is perfectly able to work even without its iconic main character.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a shorter but still extremely well made Uncharted game that plays up all the strengths of the series.
While it might not reach the emotional height's of Nathan Drake's last adventure, The Lost Legacy is a welcome addition to the franchise. It features a compelling story and wonderful cast of characters, illustrating the point that this franchise is far from over. And as always, the visuals Naughty Dog is able to get out of a standard PS4 never cease to amaze.
Uncharted fans have to buy Uncharted: Lost Legacy. They will get more of the same at a reasonable price, with the right playtime. But if Uncharted 4 wasn't your "must have" game, then Lost Legacy will tire you even more.

The Lost Legacy is a great little addition to the franchise, ideal for newcomers or fans alike.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a great standalone adventure featuring two extremely charismatic personalities. There's a story here that's brilliantly told with intertwined gameplay/narrative design that I've not seen in a game in some time. The intriguing relationship of Chloe/Nadine made playing through the game more than worth it, and some questionable new gameplay mechanics couldn't detract from an otherwise brilliant experience.
While it’s definitely not the globe-trotting adventure of a full, numbered Uncharted, this expansion has a few great moments of its own. If you’re desperate to lose yourself in another treasure-hunting escapade, Lost Legacy will be just the ticket. For everyone who still feels satisfied by the giddy highs of last year’s Uncharted 4 though, your money is probably better spent elsewhere.
