Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Reviews
If Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is Naughty Dog's last run at the series, then it is good to know that they ended their involvement on a high note. Everything that made the series so memorable is present, from the witty banter and deep characterization to the white-knuckle action. Chloe and Nadine make a perfect duo, so you aren't going to miss Sully and Nathan. The lone new change, the expansion to a semi-open world for a majority of the game, works since the world isn't too large, and it means side activities are part of the game. For action fans, The Lost Legacy is a title that can't be missed, even if it's your first foray into the game world.
Speculation that the Uncharted franchise would falter in the absence of Nathan Drake has been silenced courtesy of an always engaging campaign, an interesting cast of characters, some of the best puzzles and set-pieces in the franchise’s history
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.
15 months out from Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's release, Naughty Dog is still king of the action adventure jungle. This new angle on the Uncharted formula, which stars Chloe in a pristine mountain range of India, is often captivating, even though it follows many of the same set of standards that were unearthed a decade ago by Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.
Lost Legacy is good at being an Uncharted game, and with two amazingly strong women in the forefront, you are not missing Nathan Drake for a second. Lost Legacy is a typical Uncharted game, including treasure hunting, relic findings, funny friendship, quirky remarks, lots of jokes and cool puzzles, but this time… this time there's more heart between the characters. Being the first Uncharted game without Nathan Drake as the protagonist, this is also the first game in the series with a woman as the playable character. And it does it with such attitude and grace it's hard to find arguments against it. Any gamer that wants a good story or that likes treasure hunting or puzzle solving will love this title, even if they haven't played any Uncharted games before. However I recommend playing the previous games in the series first to get the full backstory.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a great spin-off of the Uncharted franchise, featuring Chloe and Nadine, who steal the scene and it turns out to be a great change for the series. With a good amount of exploration, cinematic action and a fun adventure, you will find all the elements that the franchise became known for in the 6 hours of campaign. It's the same formula, but it's a welcome game for the fans.

Chloe Frazer ably steps into the lead role in a new Uncharted that's as action-packed and well written as anything in the series.
When Nathan ended his expeditions in Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, most of us thought well Ok time for us to see what Naughty Dog was going to do with the series, and this is the result, a full Uncharted experience, yes the gameplay is similar however the developers took their time with the overall research of the history of the Indian culture and enhanced the story and narrative that just makes this a standalone title from Naughty Dog that we highly recommend.
The pacing, as always, is impeccable, moving between climbing, combat and puzzle-solving at just enough of a clip to keep things engaging, ending with an impressive set piece that rivals the series' best on both a technical and visual level.
A solid adventure whose gameplay should maybe take the 'Un' out of Uncharted
This extra content seems to be an attempt to prolong the life of the game and bring it back to the lights and maybe if they had spent more time providing or even they tried to present the story of Sully – a matter of many lovers of fans would welcome him unlike the new heroes – it would have greater success than this, or at least reduce the amount of media focus and provide it in a smaller financial and technical way to be believe that it is additional content, I hope that the creative studio not trying to make commercial releases depends only on Uncharted name

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.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a fantastic addition to the series! Chloe and Nadine make a good team – they are always interacting with each other and making funny comments, leaving no room for boring moments. I’m thrilled the franchise can go on, even if Nathan Drake is out of the picture.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a compilation of all that's good and bad in Uncharted series. It can be good at some moments, but lack of originality, poor open world section and predictable story brings this standalone expansion to its knees.

The new features that accompany Uncharted: The Lost Legacy did not have that much of an impact on its gameplay. But it still captures the interest of the Action/Adventure and the series' fans alike.

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.
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.
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.
The Lost Legacy is a great little addition to the franchise, ideal for newcomers or fans alike.
Although not quite on the same level as the previous games in the Uncharted series, Lost Legacy is still a very worth play with some new gaming mechanics added and truly impressive graphics.
