Uncharted: The Lost Legacy may not be on sale until next Wednesday but that doesn’t mean that some of the big outlets aren’t putting up their very, very complimentary reviews already. It’s ok Sony, I guess our copy got lost in the mail right?
The Lost Legacy is the first standalone (albeit smaller) title in the long running Uncharted series that doesn’t focus on Nathan Drake. The game instead centres around Uncharted 4 villain Nadine Ross and Drake’s former girlfriend Chloe Frazer as they explore the Indian jungle in search of treasure.
Available in Australian on the 23rd of August, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy will be sold both digitally through the PlayStation Store and in store for an RRP of A$54.95
Polygon – 9/10
I went into Uncharted: The Lost Legacy expecting a light stand-alone adventure, but it turns out to serve a much greater purpose. Despite the new protagonist, this game serves as a celebration of everything the Uncharted series has come to represent over a decade of mostly strong releases from Naughty Dog. And becauseof the new protagonist, it also offers a glimpse into what the franchise could become in the future
Press Start – 9/10
The Lost Legacy started out as a smaller DLC piece and ended up becoming a standalone game of its own. Whilst it plays very similarly to Uncharted 4, there are some new additions that are appreciated (and don’t make it a bad game by any stretch) but are questionable in their necessity.

Whatever small missteps that Uncharted: The Lost Legacy does take, are drowned out in the fiery explosions of its set pieces. They’re forgotten, amidst the humour and humanity of its cast, and the witty banter they share. Chloe and Nadine are proof that Uncharted can exist – and thrive – without Nathan Drake.
