UNCHARTED LOST LEGACY WALKTHROUGH SERIES

This new open map-which is the setting of two of The Lost Legacy's chapters-demands a lot of driving, but going over your own beaten paths doesn't feels like a chore. The jungles also provide the ideal setting for Naughty Dog to expand and refine its open, free-roaming designs previously seen in the much praised Madagascar map of A Thief's End. In other words, for every instance of high intensity, there's a well-placed opportunity to take a breather.

All the while there's an ebb and flow to both the pacing of the narrative and how gameplay sections are spread out. Moreover, the stealth tutorial is fittingly brief, chase sequences are consistently riveting, and climbing sections never feel drawn out. For those new to Uncharted, that translates to a lot of death-defying stunts any given minute. Such refined moments are indicative of The Lost Legacy's impressive conciseness, packing a ton of Uncharted history in its moment-to-moment experiences. And despite that The Lost Legacy is shorter than even the first Uncharted-six hours compared to eight-these insightful archeological chats about Hindu mythology don't feel forced or rushed. The lush surroundings and detailed remains of ancient civilizations are fitting trivia-laden conversation starters for Chloe and Nadine. In The Lost Legacy, the studio doubles down on tropical forests with striking results. The dense vegetation of India and its peppering of ruins reflect Naughty Dog's amusingly consistent attachment to jungles in Uncharted. These are messages that adventure genre fans can appreciate even without a connection to the series' past. Just the fact that her history differs from Nathan Drake's opens the door for new insights on recurring Uncharted themes, namely the dangers of ambition and the relationships that can suffer as a result. Moveover, the dialogue eventually reveals the meaning of the game's subtitle, which shines a light on Chloe's personal drive to find the tusk. Not only is it engaging to hear them bring down their emotional barriers of mistrust, but the small talk helps fill in the blanks since the events of Uncharted 4. It's also a quest rich in exposition and substance, with lot of credit given to the well-written banter between Chloe and Nadine. Seeking an artifact called the Tusk of Ganesh in the Western Ghats of India, the pair find themselves racing against Asav, a perpetually angry warlord who places highly in the Uncharted villain ruthlessness power rankings. The duo's vastly different backgrounds and motivations create a dynamic ripe for a classic apprehensive alliance and the tensions that come with it. Not only do they prove themselves as capable adventurers, but also entertaining ones with the kind of chemistry that doesn't rely on Nathan Drake-inspired wisecracks. After playing through The Lost Legacy, it's hard to imagine a better Drake-less pairing than the treasure hunter Chloe Frazer and ex-mercenary Nadine Ross. With a roster of characters as large as Uncharted's, developer Naughty Dog had a wealth of promising pairings to choose from. A decade's worth of adventures and a conclusive epilogue might place franchise mainstay Nathan Drake on permanent retirement, so now is as fitting a moment as any to wander and fight through a new Uncharted from a fresh perspective.

Team chemistry abounds in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, which is not surprising for a side story to a series famous for its AI-partner-driven gameplay.
