One of the strongest entries in the Uncharted franchise and really fun to play, the story is really well written and the characters are very likable proven over the fact this game made me like a character (Nadine) I otherwise hated in Uncharted 4. Uncharted 4 is my favourite entry in the series and this comes in at a very close second.
Platinum trophy earned, including completion on Crushing difficulty. Naughty Dog pull off another stunner with The Lost Legacy - while the central mechanics don't deviate much from the previous Uncharted games, that's not really a bad thing and The Lost Legacy presents a compelling story and character relationship dynamics between Chloe and Nadine, previously only secondary characters in the series. The game's fairly short length leads to a tight, well-paced experience, with a good balance between exploration and combat and, without any specific spoilers, the final chapter brings perhaps the most impressive set-piece encounter that the series has been to date. This will definitely be up right there among my favourite games of the year so far!
It could be argued that Lost Legacy is the best Uncharted game. It's a hyper-focused, bite-sized adventure that's the perfect palette cleanser after Uncharted 4.
The game expands upon the open-ended level design, the combat arenas feel varied, and the dialogue is as charming as ever before.
It's actually super refreshing to experience an Uncharted game from a different perspective. As much as I love Nathan, I definitely don't any more of him in my life and having both Nadine and Chloe openly talk some shit on him was great.

No esperaba gran cosa siendo una expansión y llegando después del buen cierre del 4, pero me ha sorprendido lo bien que han conseguido que dos personajes como Chloe y Nadine encajen de una manera tan natural. El argumento sigue sin ser nada del otro mundo y me revienta lo fácil que es saltarse los coleccionables, pero si a partir de ahora la protagonista fuera Chloe en supuestos nuevos Uncharted, no tendría ninguna queja.
An Uncharted game on a smaller scale, but that doesn’t mean smaller sights or reduced gameplay. This is the most refined combat in Uncharted so far.
Instead of playing as Nathan Drake, you take the role of Chloe Frazer as she looks to find an ancient relic (and possibly stop a warlord) in India. It starts off as you would expect, with some fun linear segments, but then you get to the main chunk of the game, which takes place in a massive beautiful landscape where you can choose the order that you complete the missions in.
This more open structure fits the uncharted style very well, and includes a large optional side mission to find some extra treasure. At the same time, this doesn’t fall into the repetitive nature of some open worlds as it’s only a portion of the game – with more traditional Uncharted sections both before and after. The mixture of styles works really well and makes Lost Legacy feel more like a full Uncharted experience than the “budget” title it was sold as.
