    Firstly, Lost Legacy has been my 2nd favourite Uncharted (behind uncharted 2). When you get past the dull & repetitive map area and into the lost city section it really gets going and does what Uncharted does best, breathtaking caverns each more stunning than the last, complete with colossus statues and filled with jaw dropping carvings and artefacts everywhere you look.

I absolutely love that stuff.
    but it has a big issue...
    its only 8 hours long :|
    If i recall correctly Uncharted 2 and 3 were about 3 times the length, as they should be. Sadly as I was just really getting into this one it started to climax very prematurely. I was like, naaah this has to be the end of the first 1/3rd or somnk, but it was not.
    Theres just a single section of jaw dropping statue filled caverns, and though it is a joy it is over too soon, then its back to the more tedious parts of uncharted: generic jungle, jeep driving and such.

    It nearly felt like a demo it was so short. Turns out it was originally going to be DLC for Uncharted 4 which makes sense of its short length. Still though, its a real shame.    … Expand

    Proves that the Uncharted series has viability beyond Nathan Drake. The best puzzles in the series yet, some great combat encounters that feel fresh, and interesting use of "Semi-open world" in some sections which I think fits neatly in the franchise. I know they're focusing on The Last of Us II now (and oh boy, I can't wait) but I hope this isn't the last thing Naughty Dog ever do with Uncharted.

    +Engaging new story set within uncharted universe starring Chloe and Nadine
    +Script and cast provide so much entertainment / laugh out loud moments
    +Lower price point gives good value for money
    +Visuals / sound on a par with uncharted 4
    +Interesting new combination of open world / linear gameplay areas
    -Gameplay repeats when played over longer sittings

    A very nice game. Gameplay is similar to uncharted 4, but a little less shooting and a little more puzzling, which is a nice approach. Graphics are amazing, better (just a little bit) than Uncharted 4.

Nadine, I did not like her at all in uncharted 4, but in this game her personality shone through and the chemistry and banter between her and chloe was a a joy to play and watch. This game follows uncharted 4's mechanics, but everything is better, climbing actually gets me excited about where I'm heading next, rope swinging actually has that "ooh" factor and is not just there to propel you to the next piece of land, the story is good and the villain is second only to Lazavaric in this series. The level design is just as good as in uncharted 4. The puzzles are decent, mostly trial and error but typical uncharted puzzles. Set pieces feel fresh to me, and I genuinely didn't knew when that next ledge was going to break off (that I did in uncharted 4). Basically this is uncharted 4, but they decided to inject some uncharted 2 into it as well. They took everything from uncharted 4 and polished it to perfection. Even Sam has personality in this game and was not as generic than in 4. I also liked the open world level, simple but addicting puzzles made it worth it finish everything on the map. I also still enjoy the multiplayer very much ( it feels like 3/4 uncharted with 1/4 inspired by tlou's mp). It looks like im talking down uncharted 4, but I liked that game a lot (i gave it a 9); it's just this game feels so much more polished and fresh with a hint of uncharted 2. The only con I can think of is that it can be quite short to some (no open world/multiplayer/ treasure hunting) and your looking at maybe an 6-8 hour game. Regardless, it's a must-play from me, especially if you love action-adventure games.… Expand

    Uncharted The lost legacy is a standalone DLC for Uncharted 4, and is the first game in the franchise that doesn’t have you playing has Nathan Drake. This time around you play as Chloe Frazer, from Uncharted 2, who travels back to her homeland of India in search of the Tusk of Ganesha. She’s joined by Nadine Ross, who’s lost control of her paramilitary organisation ‘Shoreline’ after her run in with the Drake brothers, and needs the money to get it back. Together the two of them must find the tusk before Asav, an Indian warmonger whose selling Indian artefacts to fund his private army.
    The gameplay is pretty much the same as Uncharted 4. When going into an area filled with enemies there are locations for you to hide and plan your attack. You can sneak around the area and stealthily take down your enemies. You can go in guns blazing, or you can do a combination of both. When you do get into a gunfight you’ve got a lot of weapons to choose from. Just like in the previous games, you pick up weapons from dead bad guys, and they include pistols, automatics, shotguns and explosives. In some areas you’ll find locked weapons boxes, which Chloe can open with her lock pick, containing new guns and explosives. Melee combat also feels smoother than before, as Chloe is a lot more agile than Nathan Drake.
    The enemy AI is competent. I played the game on moderate difficulty, just to get through it quickly for this review. Even on this difficulty they will flank you, snipers are extremely accurate with their shot, and enemies will flush you out of cover with grenades and rpgs, with a little hand to hand combat thrown into the mix. However, there were a few occasions when I was sneaking through an area, and Nadine would come out of cover in plain sight, and not get noticed.
    The game was optimised for the PS4 pro, but even though I was playing on a standard PS4 I could see the graphical improvements in certain parts of the game. A lot of detail went into creating every location, and you’ll find yourself taking pictures with Chloe’s camera phone often (which I’m sure is the developers way of getting you to stop and appreciate their hard work).
    As with the previous games, The lost legacy’s biggest strength is its story telling. At first Chloe and Nadine don’t trust each other, but need to work together to get what they want. As you progress through the campaign, you’ll find out about both characters back story through cut scenes and conversations they have with each other. This was done through flashback missions in the previous games, so it was good to see that they found a new way of handling this in a shorter game. My only criticism is with the villain. Asav is a decent villain, who you’ll see switch to a complete nutter when you get into a fight with him, but my issue with him is he’s hardly in the game. He appears 3 or 4 times, including the final boss fight, which for me wasn’t enough. This is probably because I’m used to getting to know all the characters through a 20+ hour story in each of the previous games.

    As always, playing the lost legacy feels like you’re starring in a movie. From the intense gunfights, to the action packed chase scenes, it feels like you’re staring in your own summer blockbuster. Playing has Chloe is fun, and feels a lot like Uncharted’s version of Lara Croft, but I was disappointed that I didn’t also get to play has Nadine. The puzzles felt a lot easier than in previous games, but I didn’t mind because it meant I could get back to the action much quicker. The multiplayer from Uncharted 4 is included, and although I’m not a fan of the multiplayer, it’s a nice bonus considering the game only costs £25. Unlike the previous games, I actually want to give it a replay and get all achievements, due to its 8 hour playtime not taking a big chunk out of my busy schedule. Hopefully we’ll see a sequel to this game where you get to play as Nadine, or maybe another side story starring Sam and Sully.    … Expand

    Genuinely glad they made this into a semi-full game. The story has a couple of good twists. Gameplay is perhaps a bit too similar to other uncharted games for some people but not me. the best 40$ i have ever spent. Clearly not the best game Naughty Dog has ever made, but considering the price tag, it's one hell of an experience.

    Great story line and stunning visuals, the new protagonists could have been a risky change compared to the rest of uncharted series but has paid off. Upon completion I was left wanting more. The choices NaughtyDog has given its players during game-play like choosing stealthy take downs or all out war really gives you a good feeling.

Definitely a lot more enjoyable than I expected, with a much better sense of fun and adventure than Uncharted 4 (which seemed a bit too grim at times). The comparisons to Tomb Raider are even more unavoidable now, but seriously... the guys working for Square Enix should be taking notes from The Lost Legacy. The recent Lara games have been too gritty and dark on the whole with her being punished most of the time instead of enjoying a globe trotting adventure. Lost Legacy's heroines actually have a good time, there's a great rapport between Chloe and Nadine, with some pretty funny dialogue and good character building over the course of the story.

    It takes place in deepest India, with Chloe exploring her past as well in this one. For the most part you're climbing, driving and shooting your way through beautiful Indian jungle levels. A highlight is the semi-open world section where you're searching for artifacts in your surprisingly sturdy jeep, much bigger than the Africa section in Uncharted 4 and packed with a lot more things to uncover. The puzzles found hidden away in the various temples are nicely varied, with some being time-based and others making you consider where you're standing pretty carefully if you don't want your head chopped off. I'm glad this is the bulk of the game, since exploring these lush environments has always been one of the best parts of Uncharted.

    Of course, as usual there's an evil ethnic bloke with a private army who is also out to get the treasure you're seeking. Thankfully you don't get into the Tomb Raider problem of fighting huge waves of enemies. Building on the solid design choices in Uncharted 4, the enemy encounters all offer a good variety in how to approach them, with stealth being more viable than ever due to the much more intricate level design. The grappling hook is a joy to use as always, even if we still seemingly can't use its club mode in singleplayer. A nice new addition is the combo moves with your partner in adventuring Nadine, where she'll help you finish off an enemy with a roundhouse kick.

    While some might miss Nathan Drake, you'd be missing out if you didn't give this a chance. It's admittedly a smaller in scope game, but it puts bigger efforts like "Rise of the Tomb Raider" to shame in several areas, and I had a lot more fun playing this than I did the overlong and over-serious Uncharted 4.

    Definitely recommended.    … Expand

    As a standalone game - it's good, but lacks fresh ideas - you have same mechanics, same combat style, very familiar episodes of evading armored vehicles, fights with "boss", the same types of enemies, etc. The most disappointing thing is the fact that the game became easier even on max. difficulty. Stealth is not necessary at all (except for the episode with the armored vehicle) You can beat everyone just by taking the right position. Puzzles are a little bit more difficult than in original U4, but still disappointingly easy. You don't need more than two or three minutes even for the most difficult one.

    Still, it's a perfect addition to Uncharted collection, which allows you to spend another 3-4 evenings with familiar characters in unforgettable setting. 9/10

    - Stunning visuals and the setting with lots of detaiils.

    - Good storytelling, which is easy to believe in
    - All the best you can find in the whole series

    While Nadine and Chloe are "gang" (well Chloe at least), the tone and style should have been theirs and theirs alone. Instead we received the Uncharted treatment for a title that was going on to take over the franchise with. I don't expect future titles to be the Nadine/Chloe show, but I expect those titles to be their own entity alone, one that forges new ideas and Uncharted tropes; otherwise it's all Nathan Drake clones from now on, and for that they should just continue him as the lead.

    I found the music/dialogue/gameplay/graphics to be something from Uncharted 4, which is a wonderful thing. The only issue is the above mentioned recycling. The car moments for example, they are the exact same thing as UC4. Combat was the same as well. Sure they are all super fun to do, but I just did all that about a year ago.

    Take the lost legacy for what it is; the bigger-than-DLC it is, but treat it as a cautionary tale. If the series does not change or become something different, then all we are getting:

    Is skinned Nathan Drake clones in the form of new games.

    Uncharted: The Lost Legacy feels like a cool idea that took a few bumps down the tree when it comes to execution and wounded up still fun and enjoyable, but perhaps not as clever as it lets on.

Should you play this as your firstUncharted: The Lost Legacy feels like a cool idea that took a few bumps down the tree when it comes to execution and wounded up still fun and enjoyable, but perhaps not as clever as it lets on. Let me first establish that a 7/10 in my opinion is a GOOD score and is worth recommending, but that recommendation is ONLY to Uncharted fans and only them. Should you play this as your first Uncharted game (even if you played Uncharted 4 prior to), you will have no idea who anyone is or what references of the past games are mentioned. If you want to spend $40 on anything related to Uncharted in that department, play Nathan Drake's Collection instead. Let me go into a bit of depth of what pros and cons I saw on my run through the campaign (since the multiplayer is tied to your Uncharted 4's account as is survival mode so there's no need to rehash them aside from they are decent but not anything to hit home with).

    Naughty Dog is definitely strong in art direction, voice work, mocaping characters and having good music that adds to tension. The standard combat and stealth is from Uncharted 4, including the grappling hook and climbing picks, which is good and solid, but much like Uncharted 4 there is not much complexity to it that I feel that does wanting more interactive ways of engaging targets will be very disappointed. If we structure the story in three big acts, I'd say the first act is decent, the second act is slightly better and the final act is great. The final act in particular is a nod of the previous games but manages to mix it with current mechanics that felt desperately needed in the previous acts (I'll explain shortly on that). Claudia Black as main protagonist Chloe Frazer nails it with a nice synergy and chemistry to Laura Bailey's Nadine Ross that makes their quips, dialogue always mature and pulls the right punches that gave me chuckles at unpredictable moments. I really like Asav as a the villain, because unlike ALL the villains in the previous Uncharted games, he has a goal that is not half assed like Navarro's reveal, not as generic or cliche as Lazarevic, concrete to Marlow's mysticism and understandable unlike Rafe's reasoning. It's funny that in a game that doesn't have Nathan Drake in it, this was the strongest and most believable villain out all of them. Now for the cons.

    The story, while simple in its premise and checks off the boxes for effort, doesn't seem as good as someone who loves good plots and stories would see it. It reveals alot about Chloe and Nadine, but I feel that the way they are revealed and shown can be awkward and a bit forced. They also follow very cliche even trite parts that made me groan and scoff at when as I hit certain points. Without saying any spoilers, it was incredibly stupid and just trying to give fanservice more than staying true to its own sources. Another issue is the first act; at first it starts out strong but after the opening level in India to the big open are to explore, the pacing and enjoyment went down more and more until I was bored halfway through the giant level. Naughty Dog, you make beautiful landscapes, but save yourselves the trouble of constantly backtracking and going to places and making combat have no depth to it as we explore the ruins. It just felt like major padding and was considerably bloated as a result. The second act is a bit better, but suffers from alot of climbing and puzzle sections with a dash of Chloe falls off something, grabs a conveniently placed ledge scattered in about 10 times. Sorry to be a broken record, but it was boring and was lacking major action moments that wouldn't pick up until the final act. Overall, it was okay and only one great moment that was already in a previous game that did it better on top of that was my big takeaway.

    Maybe that's the problem with Uncharted: The Lost Legacy: it uses fanservice as a bait switch for players to lose their minds over things and nods they knew before instead of really going above and beyond to make it a standalone experience. I understood that this was originally was suppose to be a much smaller DLC, so it's good the game is 8-10 hours long (you don't normally get that with a story expansion much anymore) but the greatness in that trek was very limited. Fans will buy this and acclaim it all they want, but as a critic I feel the need to stand up to nostalgic rose tinted glasses trite and look at my enjoyment mixed with the flaws and improvements the game has that deserves to be judged on its own merits. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a good expansion story and is a recommendation for fans of Uncharted, but for any other onlooker, this is a definite wait for sale or "rite of passage" by playing the four Uncharteds before you have any reason to try this. It doesn't push new ground unfortunately but stays solid enough where it keeps itself firmly in place.    … Expand

    The first 90% of the game is a 10/10 darling of the series. The final 2 chapters are game betraying frustrating BS. I can't understand why Naughty Dog can't just choose a game style and stick with it. Stop betraying everything you've built and just let the player play the way you've encouraged them to the whole game. It's satisfying and smooth to play all the way until the ending, whereThe first 90% of the game is a 10/10 darling of the series. The final 2 chapters are game betraying frustrating BS.

    This dlc is like A Thief's End only more action packed. The story and gameplay are top notch. It also comes with multiplayer. It is definitely worth 40 dollars.

    Uncharted the Lost Legacy
    A great adventure
    The Lost Legacy was intended to be just an uncharted 4 dlc, but turned into something much larger and is now a standalone 6 hour Uncharted game with its own platinum trophy This now standalone title for better or for worse feels like just more of uncharted 4… This is an action adventure game where you play As Chloe, who’s after the tusk of    Uncharted the Lost Legacy
    A great adventure
    The Lost Legacy was intended to be just an uncharted 4 dlc, but turned into something much larger and is now a standalone 6 hour Uncharted game with its own platinum trophy
    This now standalone title for better or for worse feels like just more of uncharted 4…
    This is an action adventure game where you play As Chloe, who’s after the tusk of Ganesh..
    She is very much the Nathan drake of this adventure throwing out charm and wittiness left and right…
    The Sam drake of this adventure is Nadine who accompanies you on your journey for a 50% cut of course…
    As this game is about 2 ladies, there’s a few dashes of girl power here and there, but thankfully it doesn’t get too flannel protest purple hair in your face about it
    its promotes women empowerment in a very natural and unforced way… which is appreciated
    After a lengthy and slow tutorial setting up the story, the game wastes no time getting right into the action
    Your literally thrown into what feels like the middle of any other uncharted game…
    This entire standalone could be summarized as just that..
    The middle 6 hours of an uncharted game...
    There’s no slow build up, there isn’t that much character development aside from giving Chloe some depth. There is no crazy over the top ending here, it feels like 6 hours were just plucked out of a proper numbered uncharted game...
    That isn’t necessarily a bad thing… but it isn’t necessarily a good thing either as it will leave you feeling a bit unsatisfied by the end of it all… like this title is just a teaser…
    As an uncharted 4 expansion this game plays just like uncharted 4
    though there are far fewer gun fights, this title is very platformer heavy with a dash of driving towards the beginning and some car combat towards the end
    The driving is still just as simple, you can’t do crazy things with it and this open area still feels a bit linear, but it does the job of getting you from point a to b..
    then it’s your job to take out enemies either by stealth or with guns and solve some pretty simple puzzles…
    then towards the middle of the game it’s even more platforming focused with rarely any fights at all, doing really cool and sometimes challenging puzzles, like counting platforms to activate a switch and make sure you don’t get knocked off, or aligning shadows to objects on a wall.. Though the game will of course give you clues if you get stuck
    The game is breath taking at times, but there were no moments that really blew me away or got my heart pumping…
    The gun fights are just there... not really exciting either
    The greatness here comes in the way characters interact with eachother, it comes in your hatred for this games villain
    Theres so much charm here, the game pokes fun at itself in ways to let you know the devlopers are listening to feedback from players and reviews
    The world is believable, its feels alive, the animation and attention to detail is some of the best ive ever seen..
    This campaign won’t blow you away... theres nothing memorable here…
    But it doesn’t take away from the fact that this is still an extremely solid game with or without the name uncharted attached to it…
    This game hints at possible sequels, they may not be from naughty dog, but by the games end I liked Chloe and Nadine enough to want to see this partnership continue…
    The game also gives you access to the uncharted 4 3rd person shooter multiplayer modes and adds a survival mode where you take down waves of enemies that have new challenges each time like only melee or head shots, or enemies drop grenades
    Uncharted multiplayer isn’t quite my cup of tea, but its decently enjoyable and helps the lost legacy feel even more like a complete package
    Uncharted 4 is a masterpiece…
    And this title expands that masterpiece borrowing its mechanics of stealth, shooting, rope swinging, sliding, platforming and climbing, with new characters that are almost as fun to play as and spend time with as Nathan drake was..
    This is a solid standalone, and it’s a standalone in every sense of the word...
    You could start from here if you wanted to, you might be lost on a few references but everything would make sense
    which makes me believe even more sequels are on the way
    I give Uncharted the Lost Legacy

    Finally! A game with two super smart female leads, both of whom are POC, and not hyper-sexualized character design. That alone makes this game a breakthrough in the industry. The fact that it plays beautifully and is INCREDIBLY acted (thanks to excellent writing), definitely doesn't hurt either.

I dare say this is my favorite entry since Uncharted 2... but I must admit I like the freshness of these characters better than Nathan Drake, who - lets face it - is basically just a modified Indiana Jones clone. Chloe and Nadine's relationship is really fun to watch unfold, and it made me really want to play the game to the end just to see how they both turned out. I really hope we see another entry with these two in the leads.… Expand

    More Uncharted from Naughty Dog is always a good thing. I had my reservations about a Nathan-less entry, but Chloe does great at carrying the title, and Nadine is much more tolerable this time around, dare I say, the chemistry with Chloe actually made me like the character. It's Naughty Dog, so the story is really well done, though the least substantial of the franchise (understandable, asMore Uncharted from Naughty Dog is always a good thing.

It's Naughty Dog, so the story is really well done, though the least substantial of the franchise (understandable, as this is more an expansion of 4 than a pure entry), but still manages to be entertaining start to finish, and actually gives the best villain in the franchise this side of Lazarević, too bad we got so little of him. Fantastic climax. Gameplay is the same high standard Naughty Dog always brings, doesn't bring anything new from Uncharted 4 (again, it was more of an expansion), but I did like how Chloe doesn't feel just like a reskined Drake, as she's not as effective with melee, still not incredibly complicated, but it was a nice touch, too often things want to take a petite woman and have her power be far more than you'll almost ever find. My only real problem, still no Charlie Cutter.… Expand

    Despite the poor narrative, there is some fun to be had throughout the 9 or so hours it’ll take you to beat Lost Legacy. While it’s definitely not the globe-trotting adventure of a full, numbered Uncharted, this expansion has a few great moments of its own.

    The Lost Legacy is a great, breathtakingly beautiful action adventure game and its only substantial weakness is that it fails to reach the stellar level of A Thief’s End while heavily relying on old tricks. [11/2017, p.60]

    The Lost Legacy is not as great as a real new part in the Uncharted series, but as an insanely expansive stand-alone DLC it's more than successful. We will always miss Nathan Drak, but hopefully Uncharted will continue in this form for a long, long time.
