The newest chapter of the Uncharted series, The Lost Legacy , should make you want to throw out every game in the franchise before it. Calling Lost Legacy a promising next step for the series in a post-Nathan Drake world doesn't do it justice. In fact, it's practically an insult.

It might be shorter – as reflected in the price – but The Lost Legacy is a great Uncharted and a dazzling example of a studio at the top of its game. To be honest, I wouldn't have believed that Chloe and Nadine could make such fantastic, sympathetic protagonists or that Naughty Dog could stretch the...

The same great Uncharted gameplay; Chloe and Nadine make great protagonists; Astonishing visuals; Huge set-pieces and ingenious world design; Leaves you wanting more

More of the same (if mostly in a good way

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.

As a new beginning for the Uncharted series, it's hardly surprising that The Lost Legacy doesn't quite scale the transcendent heights of its predecessor. You just don't yet have the same weight of affection for Chloe and Nadine as you did for Nate and Elena.

Charming characters with relationships that evolve realistically through the game; Stunningly rendered environments

A formulaic plot; A paucity of action set-pieces; Overly familiar for players of earlier games in the series

Super fun! Love the interactions between the characters. If they made this with a few more stages this could have been a full stand alone game.

The Lost Legacy is the perfect swan song for the Uncharted series. One last game before the franchise is shelved, at least for a very long time or until another studio gives a try.

New protagonists make you forget about Nathan Drake; Gorgeous landscapes; Solid story; Smart puzzles; Keeps you entertained for at least six hours

Starts out slow; Semi open-world regions has its drawbacks; It forces players to use different weapons

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.
