Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Reviews
Even though it may not be quite on par with the preceding titles from the series, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is still a highly enjoyable, swashbuckling ride and well worth playing, whether you’re already a seasoned treasure hunter or a complete newbie to the already eminent franchise.
Naughty Dog has, again, crafted a nimble little action-adventure game worthy of the Uncharted name and one of the series' best. Chloe Frazer deserves her own full-on game down the road. Uncharted: Frazer's Fortune, perhaps? Yes please.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is the real deal, folks. It separates the wheat from the chaff, takes everything that's great about Uncharted 4 and distils it down to its purest, most brilliant form. Nathan who?
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a game that expands the Uncharted universe by exploring new areas, lore and characters. Giving you beautiful set pieces to play in, solve and admire. It is a must for any Uncharted fan.
Chloe and Nadine's Spin-Off Doesn't Travel Into Uncharted Territory But Still Stands Up As A Great DLC
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is yet another example of Naughty Dog’s almost incomparable ability to create astoundingly beautiful games and truly excellent characters. It tells an interesting story, albeit one that's rather derivative of the rest of the series, and, despite the somewhat dated core mechanics, is still a fun game to play.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy had a lot to live up to given the pedigree of the Uncharted franchise, but I can gladly say it lives up to and in some aspects even surpasses the franchise in some aspects. The Lost Legacy takes all of the positives aspects of the franchise rolls them into one and creates a whole new entry into the franchise. The writing is as sharp and on point as ever, and Claudia Black and Laura Bailey do incredible jobs as Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross, respectively. With Usman Ally as Asav getting a special mention, Ally’s performance is extremely frightening at times, but he never goes over the top with it. Add to that some of the most amazing action set pieces I have ever seen in a game, leaving one to only hope that this isn’t the end of Chloe’s and Nadine’s adventures.
The Lost Legacy is a great addition to the Uncharted franchise. The game stays true to the humour of previous titles, whilst holding its own and making it an essential purchase.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a good standalone game and a must have for any Uncharted fan.
Too proud to be called an expansion pack of Uncharted 4, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a pretty decent adventure and addition to the franchise, with a believable duo of protagonists. Welcoming new ideas, such as more open world areas concealing lots of secrets, or a freedom of approach now generalized to almost all hostile areas, one will regret a sense of deja-vu in some action sequences, same bugs from the previous games, but nevertheless is still a great game, especially if you're hungry for more since Uncharted 4.
Naughty dog has proven that an uncharted game can be just as great, even if there is no Nathan drake.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is an excellent standalone and perfect addition to the Uncharted universe.
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.
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.
It’s a big adventure with a big heart wrapped up into a smaller expansion that is still unmistakably the Uncharted you love.
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
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.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy doesn't reinvent the series. It takes one idea, the open-world area from Uncharted 4, and expands on it. Otherwise, this is an Uncharted game from top to bottom, with all the action and adventure that entails. Nathan Drake and Sully may be gone, but Chloe Frazier and Nadine Ross are more than able to fill their shoes.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is just as good as Uncharted 4 maybe even better besides the smaller playtime of 6-8 hours. It even manages to kill nearly all the shortcomings of the main game. Some of the fight Scenes are not as well made as in Uncharted 4 and the constant Selfie-Action of Chloe feels misplaced but if you look past that you'll get a full Uncharted Experience that leaves little to be desired.
