Uncharted: The Lost Legacy review

Many won't mind that and will point, reasonably, to the sheer unflagging quality and effortlessness of this action romp. Others, like me, will take pleasure in finding that a smaller Uncharted doesn't mean a lesser one, and that even in a series known for its excess, less can be more. And Nate?

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

Throughout the build up to release, Naughty Dog has been keen to stress that The Lost Legacy is not DLC for Uncharted 4: A Thief's End , and quite rightly too, because this brand new action-adventure very much stands on its own two feet.

The Heart Of Adventure Is Bigger Than One Hero

Nathan Drake's days of adventuring are over. As we watched him hang up his holster and rope to begin a new chapter in his life, Naughty Dog's scribes doubled down on the message of "it's over.

Lost and found.

Team chemistry abounds in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, which is not surprising for a side story to a series famous for its AI-partner-driven gameplay. A decade's worth of adventures and a conclusive epilogue might place franchise mainstay Nathan Drake on permanent retirement, so now is as fitting a...

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Review – Nathan Who?

Can a major video game franchise survive without its main character? For so many years, Uncharted has been Nathan Drake. What does a Drake-less Uncharted look like, and why should we want to play it? I was a latecomer to Uncharted.
