At the same time, the early games did a good job of putting a modern spin on the pulp adventure fantasy and grounding its main characters in charisma and humanity, if not necessarily complexity. I’m not going to try and suggest Uncharted has ever been anything especially deep or profound, and there’s a lot of rightful criticism of the way they overlook everything from Drake’s murder sprees to the uncomfortable subtext inherent in the whole “stealing ancient artifacts” thing.
Packaged together in such a way inevitably forces comparison, and when you put Uncharted: The Lost Legacy next to Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, the latter doesn’t come out well at all. A few more pixels on screen, a few more frames rendered each second, and a mediocre implementation of DualSense functions-tech that I’m actually genuinely excited about, and can make a world of difference when used well-add nothing to that.īut more to the point, I’m not sure what the point of bundling the worst game in the Uncharted series and the best since Uncharted 2 is, other than technical convenience. The store listing for it runs through all the usual buzzwords: “remastered in stunning detail”, “improved visuals and frame rate”, “DualSense wireless controller features”-none of which make any practical difference to two of the most cutting-edge games on the PlayStation 4, that are already playable on PS5 anyway, and that already look phenomenal, in that lush, tourist-brochure photorealism that Uncharted has spent the last decade perfecting. What is the point of Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection? I’m honestly not sure.
