Instead of carrying a journal that has clues to solving puzzles, Chloe makes detailed maps that can help you find points of interest. But she’s not just Drake with longer hair. She’s just as good at shooting, just as good at climbing, and just as good at figuring out the kind of traps normally reserved for Indiana Jones movies. Now, as far as the gameplay mechanics in Uncharted The Lost Legacy are concerned, Chloe is every bit Drake’s equal. Which is another new addition finding these optional treasures won’t just make Chloe’s home more, uh, homier, gathering them all actually pays off, gameplay-wise. You can even, if you want, visit another ten places that have both puzzles or combat encounters, where you’ll find some rather valuable artifacts. Where before you spent one part driving a jeep around a valley, but still ultimately going from point A to point B, now you spent some time cruising around a much larger area that has three main locations to explore in whatever order you prefer. It even carries over grappling hook and stealth combat that was added in Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.īut Uncharted The Lost Legacy also expands upon the exploring of open areas that was first introduced in Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. As always, the climbing and combat is solid, the controls are intuitive, the bad guys are attentive and good shots, the situational puzzles are clever, and the construction standards of the ancient buildings is, well, somewhat lacking. In many ways, Uncharted The Lost Legacy plays like a refined version of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.

Which is good because while Chloe may be as capable as this series’ usual hero, Nathan Drake, she’s still going to need all the help she can get. Joining her on this archeological adventure is Nadine Ross, who was the enemy in Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, but is the Sully to Chloe in this game. Set after the events of the previous game, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, Uncharted The Lost Legacy has Chloe on the hunt for an ancient Indian artifact called The Golden Tusk Of Ganesh. After eight years of telling everyone who works on the Uncharted games that they should make one about Chloe Frazer - the feisty treasure hunter who was the highlight of both Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception - the lady is finally taking center with Uncharted The Lost Legacy ( PlayStation 4), an epic third-person action/adventure game that finally gives this series the smart and sassy hero it’s always deserved.
