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.

Uncharted didn't need The Lost Legacy , but at the same time, this post- Uncharted 4 epilogue of sorts, cum new adventure, is a mostly welcome addition to the Sony series' overarching story - one that's so far been stretched across four main games, and more.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy plants the seeds for great characters to push the franchise forward, but it takes its time getting there and hasn't changed much from Uncharted 4.

Diverse cast; Beautiful graphics; Interesting new locale

First two-thirds are slow; Nadine Ross doesn't get enough limelight

Taking the better aspects of classic and modern Uncharted, The Lost Legacy is a short, explosive chunk of adventure. Chloe and Nadine are elevated far beyond the supporting roles they once played, and both end up as interesting, formidable, and highly likeable characters, among the best in the...

It's barely been a year since Uncharted 4 hit the shelves, so you can't be faulted for thinking that Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is just a cynical cash grab. Series stalwart Nathan Drake is gone and so are Elena and Sully, his merry supporting cast.

Claudia Black is great as Chloe; The relationships are well written; Visually exquisite; Controls are sublime

The final level; Wish it was longer

We said our heartfelt goodbyes to Nathan Drake and his family in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, spelling what we thought was the end for Naughty Dog's amazing series, but as luck would have it, there are still stories to tell.

Excellent story that doesn't infringe on the closure of Uncharted 4; Nadine is a fantastic sidekick; Chloe becomes more relatable through slow-burn revelations; Improved stealth and gunplay; More open-world adventure than linear

Infrequent framerate wobble on stock PS4

We live in a post-Nathan Drake world, where he's retired from treasure hunting to apparently buy an entire Island. I'm okay with that, especially if it means a great character steps into being the main protagonist.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy can’t measure up to the series’ best offerings, but it certainly doesn’t want for any of the swashbuckling adventure. Branching off with a new set of main characters was always going to mean this arrived with less depth than what was built across the four previous entries,...
