You explore exotic locales, clamber around crumbling ruins and solve a range of clever puzzles, while Fraser and Ross trade banter almost constantly. One of The Lost Legacy’s great successes is the way that it goes deep into what makes these two women tick, so that you come to understand what drives them and even empathise with Nadine – not easy if (like me) you spent most of Uncharted 4 wanting her dead.ĭon’t worry about the change of cast if you played Uncharted 4 the core experience will still be very familiar.

Your co-star is Uncharted 4 villain, Nadine Ross, no longer in charge of mercenary outfit, Shoreline, and joining Fraser in the hope of a quick buck. Here your lead is Chloe Fraser – the roguish treasure hunter introduced in Uncharted 2 – on the trail of a Hindu relic concealed deep within India’s Western Ghats. Pre-order Uncharted: The Lost Legacy from Amazon UK | Provided you love Uncharted – and you really should – it’s inconceivable that you won’t love this triumphant lap of honour. And while it doesn’t have the length of a full-scale Uncharted, The Lost Legacy has the same epic spectacle and heart. While it doesn’t do anything you haven’t seen in an Uncharted game before – though you won’t have seen it done quite like this – it manages to craft an enthralling adventure while transforming secondary characters into likable protagonists.

Within its first few hours, The Lost Legacy won’t leave you in any kind of doubt.

Has Naughty Dog’s series had its day? Can it shine without Nathan Drake? Without Sully and Elena? Can a game conceived as DLC for Uncharted 4 stand on its own two feet? In spin-off terms, are we going from Breaking Bad to Better Call Saul, or from Friends into the horrors of Joey? You can’t go into Uncharted: The Lost Legacy without pondering a few hard questions.
