The Lost Legacy

3 Things I Disliked About ‘Uncharted: The Lost Legacy’

As of my previous writing, I’m into my third play of Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (UTLL) and I feel pretty exhausted already. On repeated play throughs I have concluded that there are several aspects about the game which I dislike, and which I believe could have been handled appropriately. Having said that I strongly believe that there’s future for Uncharted beyond Nathan Drake although I’m still perplexed about the unwarranted compulsions behind bidding the character of Nathan Drake (and perhaps Scully), a ceremonious adieu in Uncharted 4.

Eventually with UTLL I felt the gaming experience was below par with the rest of the Uncharted series but there were 3 things in particular which I disliked the most.

Uncharted - The Lost Legacy - Title Screen

‘Uncharted: The Lost Legacy’ is a Breathtaking Experience!

I’m almost through playing ‘Uncharted – The Lost Legacy’ (UTLL), and like my previous experience with Uncharted 4 I’m not just glued to the engrossing gameplay but also the breathtaking open world landscape! The level of details from India in UTLL are just fascinating – whether it’s the soaking wet landscape of the Western Ghats region, the Hoysala architecture and the mythical stories of Hindu Gods and the INSAS rifles used by the Indian military. Talking of weapons, my favourite of course is the very rare Silenced Gun for obvious reasons!

I don’t miss Nathan Drake, who made his final appearance in Uncharted 4, since the gameplay carries forward his legacy through Chloe! And there’s always the treasure hunting which keeps me busy. Just hoping that Naughty Dog would feature Chloe in a more elaborate story setting in their next Uncharted game.

Without giving away too much, I found one level annoying (and a potential reason for my nausea) with ups and downs on the the rugged terrain in a vehicle hoping to find treasures & tokens, and solving puzzles (tip: go for the ‘Queen’s Ruby’!). That, and the picking of the crates which becomes more challenging as the game progresses. But still, looking forward to the rest of the game and the climax! Enjoy the breathtaking screen grabs from my gameplay in the meantime.
