Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is wonderful

It's my favorite Uncharted, entirely on the back of the open world section.
I loooved the open world. Having a map, a car, objectives that can be completed in any order, and optional content is refreshing after the previous for games. To me, it's very clearly the direction the series should move to.

During the game (mainly at the beginning), it's told that Chloe hired Nadine Ross to help her with the job of finding the tusk. As game goes by, they become partners on equal level (before, Nadine was basically a mercenary, gun-for-hire to Chloe).
It's better than U4 I'll tell you that. Although the openworldly hub area I didn't like that much tbh
The best Uncharted in the series.
You have spoken well.
Couldn't agree more, i had this in my backlog and finally got round to playing it thru recently. absolutely wonderful game and one of the best in the series without question.
The visual and art design teams over at naughty dog are absolutely top tier, the game is straight up breathtaking to look at in places

Fully agree. The game was excellent, Chloe and Nadine were great as leads who felt like they grew as characters across the adventure and it was perfectly formed with barely any padding or screen time wasted. Heck, even the 'open world' sections were just right in that they were not too big but fit in lots of tasks and environmental variety.
I don't know. The first one was mostly all about close encounter / stealth.
It is. I did not like U3/4, but I really love 2 and this one.
I got this digitally a while back and it's probably my 2nd favorite (first is 2). Granted Chloe's probably my favorite character in the series.
Eh, she's not evil. She's a mercenary and very professional. That's the only reason she's willing to put up with the villain's bullshit for so long in 4. In LL she seems to be choosing more carefully after 4 got 99% of her employees killed by Nate and Sam. Also she seems to legitimately like Chloe because she can relate to her motives whereas Rafe was just crazy about treasure, not because he needed it but because he needed to find it to placate his own obsession.
I played it recently and it was a much better experience than U4. Much, much better. So yeah, give it a try if you can.
It's the only Uncharted game that I didn't get the Platinum trophy on. I still enjoyed it though.
It was okay. The game had a lot of limitations in odd places for being semi-open and some of the encounters were awful like a certain rainy chapter. There was also issues with running out of ammo that I encountered that made things frustrating.
Beautiful locales, solid set pieces, etc. The story and performances were great and it didn't overstay its welcome like Uncharted 4. The difficulty was a little bit better balanced too.
Uncharted 2 is still the best game in the series though.

I really love the Uncharted series and this game is no exception. It just shows how good the series is as a whole that it ranks as my fourth favourite Uncharted game (not counting Golden Abyss etc.) overall.
4, 3, 2, LL, 1 - for me.

Yep, maybe the second best Uncharted game. Shooting felt better, game looked beautiful and Chloe is awesome.
It's a Marvel what Naughty Dog did here in such a short time.
Definitely up there with 2 and 4 as best in the series.
I love it. Great characters and the banter in Uncharted games is always superb.

I felt like the exploration segment was kind of padded and unnecessary but otherwise I enjoyed it immensely.

Just finished the 1-3 remastering the other week, should go through this again as it's up there with 2 & 4.
I didn't finish The Lost Legacy. I enjoyed the very beginning of it with the wonderful array of colors when jumping from building to building. But as soon as Chloe and Nadine get to the wide open area to collect some treasures at six or seven points around the map, I became very bored. Once I collected the last item needed to open the gate that leads to who knows where, I stopped the game. I checked out and couldn't continue anymore.
I didn´t like it at all and it was the only Uncharted game I played.
I wrote some impressions on it some days ago. The shooting sections became tedious and unrewarding quickly to the point I thought of them as a way of breaking the peace and those parts I wanted to end as soon as possible the moment they appeared. Also, the game was more interested of showing me how beautiful the landscapes were, with those camera pannings when I arrived at some high place and the protagonists themselves even saying how beautiful the views were while taking the control out of my hands, than proposing me interesting gameplay mechanics or challenges. I ended feeling in those setpices that the game was playing itself instead of me doing it, which takes out the reward of the experience.
Also, the protagonists... they won't shut their mouth for more than 10 seconds. It ended being really annoying, even more because the dialogue was really really C tier movie quality. It's like the game was trying to remember you constantly how you should feel at every moment. It just doesn't play itself for some parts... it tells you, directly, how you should feel.
There is this long rope jump at the big statues at the two hour mark or so of the game with the waterfall at your back. It's pretty much an authomatic jump where you just need to press a shoulder buttom the moment it appears on screen. It's like the 20th jump you make like that in those first two hours of the game and it's starting to wear off because at the end is just a glorified quick time event of pressing a prompt buttom (a mechanic as shallow as it can exists). The dialogue between the two protagonists goes like this:
Nadine: You having fun out there?
Chloe: You know it!
Chloe: Wooo! Amazing!!
Nadine: Wooooo!
Chloe: Fun right?
Nadin: That's the craziest thing I ever done!
IT'S REALLY BAD. It's like the game it's constantly trying to tell you, in your face, how fun it is instead of proving it with something more exciting than a buttom prompt. When you are not having fun because of how shallow some mechanichs are, the last thing you want to hear is the game telling you how fun that is.
