Uncharted: The Lost Legacy review – who needs Nathan Drake?

As Nadine and Chloe take over the franchise, the Lost Legacy offers up all the thrills, spills and puzzles we've come to expect and is better for passing the Bechdel test

You can tell that Uncharted: The Lost Legacy started as more of an expansion than a standalone game. Rather than spanning the globe like previous Uncharted games, it all takes place in one part of India. And you get to play as a woman, who are so often relegated to DLC in these big franchises such as BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea or smaller spin-off games such as Assassin's Creed III: Liberation. Even in Naughty Dog's own The Last of Us: Left Behind, we only got to play as Ellie after we'd met her through the eyes of generic video game man Joel.

But The Lost Legacy expanded during development, and although Uncharted 4 season pass holders won't have to pay for it, it's now a full-length by-the-numbers Uncharted game led by two women - the Indian-Australian Chloe Frazer and the black South African Nadine Ross.
