Should You Buy Uncharted Legacy Of Thieves Collection In 2022 (Review)

[@mgiebus1869]

Damn this cat is the hardest working dude on yt right now, I'm here for it! 2 was my personal fav but 4 did add a level of depth and maturity that kept it fresh,

[@ElSelcho77]

Never played any of the Uncharted games, but heard a lot of good things about them. Thanks for the review. I'll put it on my Wishlist. 50€ is a hard sell, considering I have GamePass Ultimate with basically unlimited games. Started my First Playthrough of Arkham Knight just a couple days ago :)

Best review I’ve seen if this game! Wish you would have elaborated more on the amount of action vs traversal this game has, I’ve been playing it for a few hours and not nearly enough action yet.

[@Jack_80]

there's not nearly enough action period. uc4 is the worst for replayability because there are so many slow story sections in the game, that become extremely tedious after beating it a couple times. really disappointing because uc4 has the best combat and combat arenas, but there aren't nearly enough of them for how long the game is. i swear uc4 is like twice as long as 1-3 but has the least amount of action out of all of them.

[@JacksGameReviews]

Thanks John :)

u4 is my favourite game of all time, but imo combat peaked on uncharted 3. Tightest gunplay and melee, and best level design. I played the shipyard encounter on crushing and it was mindblowing how many ways you could approach the enemies with.

[@Jack_80]

the aiming in 3 felt very clunky to me, it was the only uc that felt like that to me. it was almost like it didn't want to let you aim in some spots, like your reticle would get pushed over a little, i can't fully explain it. uc1 actually felt a little like that too. 2 was the easiest to quickly and precisely aim. i did like the way the melee was handled in 3, an improved version of that would have been better, 4 actually feels like a bit of a downgrade. uc4 melee was supposed to be an improved version of tlou, but i thought the melee in tlou was better personally. it was more challenging and when you hit triangle to push them back and interrupt enemy attacks, you had to be really quick, in uc4 and LL you have all the time in the world, i don't think i ever once failed to hit triangle in time, and i only play them on crushing mode.

[@hackabusi]

One of the greatest game franchises ever created. Absolutely love Uncharted. Remember sitting up playing the game till god knows when in the morning when I had work .. LOLZ

[@jimmyjimbla7950]

Totally agree, 4 is the best of the series in my opinion! Nice review. 🙂

[@JacksGameReviews]

Cheers Jimmy :D Definitely my favourite

[@mravg79]

I’m with the crowd that claims 2 is the best.

[@jimmyjimbla7950]

@@mravg79 yeah I can see why, I just find 4 slicker in terms of gameplay

[@mravg79]

@@jimmyjimbla7950 I get it. I liked uncharted 4 as well. But to be honest I waited a long time before playing lost legacy. I also replayed the trilogy so I got a bit too much of uncharted. On the other hand I cannot complain about my backlog so I always have something to play. Finished A plague tale requiem. I went back to ghost of Tsushima. Horizon forbidden west was also lying on the shelf for too long 😉

[@repawn3610]

2 is the best

[@HansAlRachid]

Personally I consider the Uncharted-style design approach of "cinematic gaming" to be a completely understandable misstep in the evolution of videogames that misunderstands what makes them such an amazing form of media and instead opts to emulate the strengths of an entirely different artform. That said, _if_ you're going to make one of these cinematic games, then doing it the way the Uncharted series did is just about the perfect approach. Charm over complexity, spectacle over challenge - anything to keep the movie rolling along, essentially. Nothing to get hung up on and a lot to enjoy.

[@JacksGameReviews]

I totally get that. They tend to go for cinematic gaming rather than gaming itself ya know I love it personally but so many games are copying them now which is resulting in a loss of innovation I guess. Gotta see where the industry goes in the next decade

[@Jack_80]

i much prefer the way gow and horizon do it than uc4. those games both have deep stories but manage to tell them without slowing down the game the way uc4 does frequently. uc4 is a great game but extremely tedious to replay because there are so many slow story segments and far less action than the previous uc games. i think it was bs they switched writers to put that woke moron in there at the last second. uc4 may have been pretty good, but he ruined tlou2 with his woke retardation and i honestly expect him to make another uc game with nate's daughter in it and make her a lesbian, with that being the main focus of the game. many game developers are starting to heavily push this woke crap now, and it's ruining the industry.

[@main_stream_media_is_a_joke]

​@@Jack_80 U4 is pretentious....it could have been so much better if someone had slapped the woke director and told him to write a good adventure experience rather than the "heavy pretentious" story that we ended up getting. I think Cuckmann has a boner for "Strong Women" types like Nadine.

[@jaysony8587]

And then you say the game just “magically” wraps up but then go on to praise how perfect the climax is . . .

[@robertwatson5104]

One of the best games ever made

[@GrailSeeker]

Good review. For some reason I've barely seen people talk about the PC port. Might get it on sale.

[@MikeS42069]

I've wanted to play this series, but heard you should start with the first and work through them chronologically. Is it necessary to play the first games before jumping into the collection?

[@JacksGameReviews]

I knew I forgot to mention that god damn it Ok so it’s not super necessary but you would benefit from it. The only characters that make a return from previous games is sully and elena everyone else first appears in uncharted 4 so if you can’t play the first 3 but really want to play 4 id say look up a quick summary of the first 3 games for the dynamic between nate elena and sully but other than that everything else doesn’t matter imo. It will make the story more satisfying if you play the first 3 but it’s not necessary. Still a great game on its own

[@yorkshirepud6676]

Play the 2nd then the 1st about halfway through the 3d start 4 for the first 20min then go back to the 3d

[@emulation2369]

This game's gameplay doesn't work at all if you choose to play anything about normal, bc the game will punish you for rushing into enemies....the devs clearly didn't test that out

Happy to help you unwind mate :D Pizza is always a must and I hope one day I will be reviewing that game!

Would you say it’s worth it for $30 if you’ve played uncharted 4 on ps4 already?

I hope this runs well on steam deck

[@theoldspiceguy7977]

I'm going to be that guy and say the ultimate action adventure game is resident evil 4.

The port is great. Had only one main issue with some weird graphical glitch that you can see in my community post but a quick restart fixed it permanently. Mouse and keyboard is smooth asf feels like it was always meant to be played that way :)

[@main_stream_media_is_a_joke]

Everybody just jerks off to this 'pretentious' game because of graphics.....which for PS4 in 2016 were utterly amazing...no questions about that....but the story could have been so much better than what and how it was presented. The characters and their interactions weren't 'complex'....they were very basic.....the bar is set very low when it comes to stories in either movies or games.....especially the action adventure variety. Rafe wasn't 'complex'...he was just a rich entitled kid living off his dads money.....they could have done SO MUCH more with his character instead of presenting him as a spoilt kidult. Nadine was totally forgettable, unbearable(even more so in TLL with her constant asinine comments) and unnecessary...but they had to have a "bad ass strong independent 'smart talking' women" in the mix......incidentally both she and Rafe got a ready made business handed to them by daddy dearest. Sam was basically Nate 0.5.....i.e Nate without his thrilling adventurous life....but I personally liked him as a character. Sully was as he was in all the previous Uncharted games....a fit father figure. Nate and Elena's relationship/marriage is literally EXACTLY like millions of other couple's all over the world....boredom setting in due to the routine nature of job-life after the initial 'thrill' of the honeymoon wears off. Now the VO's of almost everyone were uniformly of high quality....except the god awful Nadine. The story was definitely much more the focus in U4 compared to the action-action-action frenzy of the past entries, and so the sedate pace made sense. All levels taken independently were beautifully crafted....but suffered in pacing when taken as a whole. Scotland was fantastic because of the desolate nature of the landscape. Libertalia was EXACTLY how I imagined a long lot tropical pirate city to be like....and it was a joy just navigating through it. Despite my comments above I did enjoy the game back when I played it on my PS4 slim....it was a fun ride....and that is how I see it.....NOT the "BEST game EVER" that most PS owners were jerking off to.
