Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection

We catch up with a domesticated Nathan some years after the events of Uncharted 3. He’s a diver for a salvage company, but we immediately get the feeling that he’d rather be trading gunfire in darkest Peru with any number of PMCs hunting him down.
Elena, his long-suffering partner and one-time camerawoman can tell that he’s not satisfied, but Nathan refuses to give up the normal life he’s finally achieved, even for one last score. That is, of course, until Sam Drake, Nathan’s thought to be dead older brother returns from the grave, and drags Nathan back into the life. Age hasn’t dulled this at all, and on PC it looks better than ever.
While Uncharted 4 provides a satisfying conclusion to Nathan Drake’s saga, The Lost Legacy is a great accompaniment. It offers yet another high-stakes adventure, but this time from the perspective Chloe and Nadine, who previously served as Drake’s companion and adversary, respectively.
Lost Legacy was originally supposed to be DLC for Uncharted 4 before it was spun off into its own game, starring Chloe Fraser from earlier in the series and Nadine Ross from Uncharted 4. Lost Legacy is something of a fan fic of the main franchise in mood – but a worthwhile one.
On a hunt for the tusk of Ganesh, our new duo of Chloe and Nadine butt up against villain, Asav. The Lost Legacy hosts fantastic challenges: giant, mechanical statues that can kill you with their massive weapons. The right path means these weapons miss you, so you need to count the number of moves you can make as these mechanical menaces tick and crunch into place. It’s an excellent mix of tension and brain teaser.
Back at ground level you’ll be able to take your jeep for a spin. It’s more than a convenient way to get around, as the winch can be used to access new areas by opening heavy doors or dragging the vehicle up muddy hills. The Lost Legacy’s jeep in particular will give you a great sense of freedom, but the jeep’s also a source of some thrills, like the exciting downhill dash in Uncharted 4.
The Lost Legacy builds a relationship between them that is so well-written and performed that you get to see these two in a way Nathan couldn’t. They’re independent adventurers carrying the weight of family legacies on their backs, without the luck and luxuries of being a Drake.
As they grow from strangers to friends, you come to hope for more dialogue where they explore their pasts, the gossip of what happened between Chloe and Nathan (especially now he’s a married man), and how they came to be the fearless women they are now.
Though the adventure isn’t as long as Drake’s, Lost Legacy has plenty of its own strengths, especially once you start driving around India in your jeep, hunting down treasure tokens for a mysterious reward. The open world-ish exploration means you can take your time with your two heroes, just soaking in all the sights and collecting all the treasure hidden away in the river basin.
