Without Nathan Drake, Uncharted: Lost Legacy is still just Uncharted

All told, Uncharted Lost Legacy is an incredibly by-the-book affair. Everything from the crowd scenes to the car chases to the "surprise" moments when a handhold gives way to the "thrilling" time-sensitive escapes from crumbling ruins feels like ground that has been well-trodden by ten years of these games. Lost Legacy most often feels like it's just going through the motions and checking off the Uncharted checkboxes without much passion or inventiveness, at this point.

As a debatable plus side, Lost Legacy doesn't overstay its welcome. I managed to reach the credits in well under seven hours of play time, and even a 100-percent completionist run would probably only add a couple more hours to that total. This leaves little time for character relationships and plot threads to play out without feeling clipped. It also kind of adds to the feeling that this $25 adventure would have worked just as well as a couple of episodes of Uncharted 4 DLC, rather than being awkwardly packaged into a relatively sparse full game.

If you're looking for more Uncharted, then Lost Legacy will definitely provide it. If you're looking for more from the Uncharted series, though, you'll be pretty underwhelmed.
