Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Reviews
There is a lot to love in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy which scratches the Uncharted itch in a really nice way whilst giving hope that a new direction for Uncharted would be very welcome – my only issues as a whole is that there is just not enough added to the game for it to be a perfect 10/10
More of the same... but that's not a bad thing.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a familiar game that builds and improves on its predecessors in interesting and meaningful ways. What it lacks in originality, it makes up for with fully realized characters, exciting and dynamic gameplay, with all the polish and bombast fans have come to expect.
The Lost Legacy is another very good game in a franchise almost unrivaled in its consistently high quality. It’s just a shame we’ve seen it all before.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy might not have been what I expected and my 5 hours and 31 minutes was, surely I won't over exaggerate, decent. It wasn't great, it wasn't phenomenal, and it wasn't the best either but it's a solid and decent cinematic experience for its price.
When you get right down to it, there isn't much that needs to be said about this game. After five entries in the franchise, spanning ten years and three different systems, you know if Uncharted is your kind of game. If you're new to the series, this isn't the place to start.
While the story is a bit on the shorter side, it doesn't fall into the trap of overstaying its welcome. If you are a fan of Uncharted, third person shooters, or just great actions games, pick up Uncharted: The Lost Legacy without any hesitation.
The Lost Legacy showed me a future for the well-known series without its usual hero. The game presented amazing story along with great voice acting. Like every Uncharted game ever it has gorgeous world that is served by breathtaking graphics, animation, and cinematography. Unfortunately puzzles felt repetitive and easy since the game will offer you hints and help if you didn't solve it right away. In general, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy lives to its expectations.

Despite the absence of Nathan Drake, this is still very much an Uncharted game, and it hasn't lost a beat.
While I'm in the former camp, I also realise I'm likely outnumbered by those in the latter.
A solid adventure whose gameplay should maybe take the 'Un' out of Uncharted
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 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.
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.
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.
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
