  • Revisiting Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

    The Lost Legacy is one final slice of Uncharted. It’s not a necessary piece of the puzzle or particularly bold in any of its choices; it’s a smaller, lesser affair than Uncharted 4, and is simply an excuse for one last ride. It almost seems a waste to develop...
