Uncharted: Lost Legacy review

Despite a small number of issues, I thoroughly enjoyed Uncharted 4, and the announcement that it was going to get a single-player expansion was exciting. But I dismissed it as a 3-4 hour experience and decided to buy the expansion separately as opposed to buying the season pass and paying for the multiplayer stuff I’m not interested in. A decision I would later come to regret when the expansion became longer and the individual price came out at £25, cheap for a standalone title, which it ultimately is, although about half the length of a usual Uncharted game.

What’s more interesting is their choice of protagonists, Nathan’s story is done, there’s little story left to tell for him, a lot of fans thought they might go for a Sam Drake/Sully story, and whilst that would be cool, there was a character I personally wish had some screen time in Uncharted 4 because she’s that awesome.

This is Chloe Frazer, she’s tough, she takes no sh*t and she’s badass, but has a sense of humour. She’s smart and can be manipulative to get what she wants, but she’s willing to walk away if the risk is too great. Chloe is a well-defined and interesting character and who better to partner her up with than the person who last time I complained was neither of these things, Nadine Ross? Can being a treasure hunter help her character get some much-needed development?

Well, here’s how I rated Uncharted: Lost Legacy

Uncharted 4 - A Thief's End Story mode review

It’s time to have a look at a video game for a change. We haven’t done one since the Ratchetrospective back in March. Let’s have a look at one of the year’s most anticipated games, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s end

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s end was a PS4 release but had a lot of trouble behind the scenes with the resignation of various members of the crew to the point where various parts of the game were completely redone. The behind the scenes ruckus lead to those who headed The Last of Us, Naughty Dog’s other hit PS3 game, to head the project and the result the story is significantly changed from its original intent. Hard to say if it’s for the better of the worse, no gameplay or story footage was ever released, just a teaser trailer.

But I don’t wish to judge what could have been, I’m more interested in the here and now, let’s start with the plot. Notes, if you don’t know the story of Uncharted 1-3, play them, they’re all good games, also this is spoiler heavy, you have been warned. I've added a few screenshots using the game's photo mode, but I forgot to turn off the ui on some of them, whoops.
