“It’s not just a game — it’s a playable adventure movie with better writing than half of Hollywood.”
UNCHARTED™: Legacy of Thieves Collection is one of those rare cases where a game doesn’t just do one or two things well — it nails everything. Gameplay, visuals, story, characters, pacing, music — it’s all here, and it’s all incredibly well done. It is the kind of experience that pulls you in from the first moment and doesn’t let go until the credits roll — and even then, you kind of wish it never ended.
Let’s start with Uncharted 4. It’s a visual masterpiece. The level of detail is just ridiculous. Whether you’re standing on a windswept cliff in Scotland or walking through a sunlit market in Madagascar, everything feels handcrafted and immersive. It’s the kind of game where you stop just to look at the ocean and go, “Damn.”
But what really pulled me in was the story. Nathan Drake might be a seasoned treasure hunter, but at its core, this is a very personal and emotional journey — about family, obsession, growing up, and figuring out what actually matters. Sam, Nate’s long-lost brother, adds a whole new layer to the story, and their relationship is complex, believable, and deeply human.
And the dialogues? Honestly, some of the most natural I’ve ever heard in a game. It never sounds like video game dialogue — it sounds like people. It’s full of life — sarcastic quips, awkward silences, heartfelt moments, and banter that sounds completely unscripted (even though it’s obviously not). The performances and facial animations take it even further — sometimes you can feel the emotion without a word being said.
This kind of storytelling is pretty much Naughty Dog's trademark. If you’ve played The Last of Us, you know what I mean. They don’t just write characters — they breathe life into them.
Gameplay-wise, it’s smooth and intuitive. There's a great balance of climbing, exploring, puzzles, stealth, and action. It never gets boring or overwhelming. And with several difficulty options — from super chill story mode to harder challenges — it's accessible to everyone, whether you're a hardcore gamer or someone just looking for a good story to experience.
The soundtrack deserves a shoutout too. Composed by Henry Jackman, it perfectly blends into the experience — from epic orchestral sweeps during high-stakes moments to quiet, emotional cues during more intimate scenes. It gives the whole game this slightly melancholic, reflective tone that really hits by the end.
Above all else, Uncharted 4 feels like the ultimate Uncharted experience. It’s not just another chapter — it’s the culmination of everything that came before it. Everything from the writing to the set pieces to the emotional payoff feels like a love letter to the fans who followed Nate since the beginning. It hits differently if you’ve played the previous games — all the little callbacks, character growth, and closure are just incredibly satisfying. That said, if you haven’t played the earlier games, don’t worry — you can absolutely start here. The story is self-contained, and you’ll still fall in love with the characters. Honestly, you’ll probably end up wanting to go back and experience the whole series — it’s that good.
Now, Lost Legacy. Don’t treat it like just a bonus. It’s shorter, yes, but in terms of quality? Easily on par with the main game. Chloe and Nadine are a fantastic duo — their dynamic evolves naturally from awkward cooperation to genuine friendship. The game takes you through some jaw-dropping locations (the open-world chapter is a standout), and the pacing is tight. It’s like a perfectly cooked side dish — different flavor, same five-star quality.
In short:
This collection is a must-play. It looks amazing, plays great, tells a gripping story with characters that actually feel human, and throws in just enough humor and heart to make it unforgettable.
Uncharted 4 is a masterpiece. A grand finale. A celebration of everything that makes games great.
So yeah — buy it, play it, and then sit there wondering why all games can’t be this balanced and satisfying.
10/10 would fall off cliffs again.
Fun fact: I originally played and completed the game on PS4, then gladly bought the collection again on PS5 and finished it once more. And yes — I bought it again on Steam, completed it all over again, and even went all the way to 100%, with every single achievement.
No regrets. Worth every cent.
