This retrospective has made me replay the series. Thank you sir

This whole retrospective made me realize how long the Uncharted series was. It might be one of the few series with consistently amazing entries. Nice work J on all your vids with this now legendary franchise. Keep it up my friend.

Lost Legacy is honestly underappreciated. It’s Uncharted 4 but with less story and more non-linear gameplay, a lot better paced due to the short length, made Chloe and Nadine much more rounded characters, and showed that Uncharted could thrive without Drake because the supporting cast was always good enough to drive a narrative. I’m glad Uncharted has been on ice but I wouldn’t say no to another game like this.

I absolutely love and uncharted, it’s my favourite franchise of all time and the fact that you made videos on the series is even better, sad that the Uncharted retrospective is over but excited for you to move on to other things!

great retrospective I enjoyed your series of this very much! looking forward to new projects from you.

Between Lost Legacy's 4th chapter and Last of Us Part II's Seattle level, I really want to see Naughty Dog try an open world title again. They have the exploration environmental skills for something close to Breath of the Wild or Elden Ring.

I never thought that Uncharted would become my favorite franchise but here I am replaying each game and enjoying the hell out of all of them!

Every Friday, in 4th period, there's a new J's Reviews video just waiting for me. And I fucking love it every time.

My biggest problem with uncharted (besides sucking at puzzles) is how long it took me to discover it

Yo these were amazing videos J and I love that you took the time to examine one of my favorite series of all time. These games were a joy to play even though I didn't get into them until after I got a PS3 in 2013. I personally feel like the series had a great conclusion with Uncharted 4 and the Lost Legacy was a great stand alone experience.

When I played this it glitched out and made the main character bald! A memorable experience.

6:57 Race literally wasn't mentioned here.

Great retrospective. I waited until all the videos were out to watch it.

I remember when I first played my uncles copy of Uncharted 2. It was the first time I've ever heard of this franchise, and the first uncharted game I've ever played. I only made it about halfway (shortly after Nathan meets Tenzin) before I suddenly stopped playing. I can't remember why. Then I got the ps4 several years later that came bundled with uncharted 4. Played through that and was instantly in love. I finally got the collection about 6 months ago and had so much f*cking fun with that, seeing all of Nathan's past adventures finally through my own eyes and game play. I just finished playing the Lost Legacy last night. I can see myself playing through this whole franchise several times over for the next few years without getting tired of it once. I absolutely love love love Uncharted.

Thanks for solving a mystery for me... I preordered and platinumed this game when it came out initially, but I entirely forget it came with a free copy of Jak and Daxter PS4, and was wondering for past couple of years how I had that in my library, but none of the other J&D PS4 versions.

"Sic Parvis Magna" "Greatness from small beginnings"

That whole play tester having a meltdown reminded me of one aspect I don't like about U4: Why did they change the melee combat like this if there's going to be forced hand to hand combat sections? Like there's no block nor counter option, only attack and grab. It makes the Nadine fight a cutscene with extra steps really. Wouldn't it be better to also have a counter option, and then during the Nadine fight the player has to time those counters just to stay alive, now establishing through gameplay that even if Nathan does his best it can only help him survive a little longer. Now it's actual gameplay where the same point still stands, but the player also needs to put effort in so they can survive at all.

nice review j

This was a good extra visit to the Uncharted world

Do you think you'll come back to make a video on Project 06 since the Silver update has already been released?

I don't want to make it sound like a bad thing. But I noticed that "The Lost Legacy" has similar character tropes, like "Golden Abyss". For example: Both have Female character that wants to finish what Father started, and also in both the Villain is a Warlord that wants treasure too secure it's own dictatorship.

I was really curious to hear your thoughts with this one because I've never played it before. I saw the pre order listing on the PSN store, but even after I later saw some game play of it, it just didn't do anything to catch my attention. Seems like it's a perfectly fine entry to follow up Uncharted 4. Also, your display of the games at the end of the video shows just how colorful the boxarts are lol!

6 years? No way, I just got it like 6 months ago!

I remembered when the eclipse came after the release of this game. It reminded me of uncharted 3. Would have loved to see it in this game.

I really liked Asav because he really was just as intelligent as the crew and easily more skilled of a fighter than Nadine, who we had seen in U4 outclass both Nate and Sam like it was nothing. Also his genuine intrigue for the treasure and not something like the other antagonists were. Where (besides Lazarevic) did it for money or just to say they did it(which I like Rafe's motivation for). Asav had the same sort of want for the treasure as Lazarevic did, as they genuinely wanted the treasure not just to make them rich and that is so much more fun to see. But Asav having an all-out brawl with the crew at the end I think was much more fun than Lazarevic chasing you around. He also has the same shoulder holster Nate does, which is always a plus.

J your next marathon should be the Tak and the Power of Juju trilogy I love those games and would love to hear your thoughts on the classic trilogy! :)

I love this game and the new guns and the train part

What your thoughts on the uncharted movie last year? Is it good or it didn't land the mark as you hope or envisioned an uncharted movie?

Loved the series ❤️❤️🙏

Oh I picked it up! It does come across as a dlc of U4 being it’s so similar.. This is a series I played through in its entirety so I guess I’m a pretty big fan.. Funny in that Golden Abyss was the entry that I had basically started with..

I love Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy so much, amazing ps4 must plays!

It’s very good, but has its issues. First of all, Nadine is way too overpowered. It just reduces the tension. Like she runs in and takes down everyone so easily. I never once felt like she needed my help. Second, Chloe plays exactly the same as Nathan. I wanted her to have some different skills. The lock-picking was a great idea, but just scratched the surface.

i need to play this one sometime soon

Just finished the lost legacy and I had some great fun with it. Sure it didnt have nate but it still worked. And i really liked the addition of sam later on. Not just cuz i like him, but it brought that drake humor to the game, which is a huge part of the series and why i (and im assuming most fans) really like the series. Ive played the main series multiple times already. Could see myself playing this again, though i dont think ill see myself playing it more than twice. Overall, good game and good fun. Glad i played it.

Love the throw back to the convoy train sequence from Among Thieves. Honestly enjoyed it more than U4.

The reason I got into jak and daxter in the first place was because it came free with this game

I've never played this, I wonder if I have to change that...

I feel like an interesting idea would be to look at the Uncharted eye of Indra comic dubs which is another prequel to the first game like Golden Abyss but it centers around Nate’s history with Eddy Raja the pirate in the first game and his sister

I didn’t try this until 2023 this year. I fucking loved it. It wasn’t insane or anything but it was super fun

What other games will be reviewed

7:50 ah yes the question in the title that doesn’t exist

There will be another uncharted. Maybe we will get a teaser on the showcase

The origin point of when ND started to flush their reputation they acquired since Crash Bandicoot down the toilet or a sign of what was to come where Neil’s creative voice really starts bleeding through? I can’t recall much of what happened in LL as well as I have with 4. The main villain while interesting doesn’t stick with you as much as the others, the settings’ nice but not as memorable as some of the other games, Chloe feels more bland in this but I can’t put my finger on why that is, the puzzles are more annoying to solve and Shoreline feels like slightly more beefed versions of the terrorists you’re already dealing with than a group that gives you a lot of trouble along the way. It’s eh when I actually think about it. Orca as a villain was wasted as a character in this since we only see him in one chapter and he’s dead in the same chapter. The action set pieces doesn’t hit as hard as 4’s but it’s always going to be an uphill battle to too that game’s long Chase Scene. Feels like the story is rushed in areas with the chapter lengths we have. Where’s Charlie and Victor in all of this? Gameplay-wise, it’s more of the same as 4 with not much else done to spruce it up from what’s already laid down. As far as standalone DLCs goes, it’s not bad but there’s been better ones before and after Lost Legacy.

Uncharted Retrospective fired on all cylinders. Love to see it.

Imo its the best

The best Tomb Raider game since Underworld 😏

Uncharted is my favorite franchise wish I could have played loads leagcy on ps4 😢❤❤❤

Honestly I wouldn’t mind if they made another uncharted game with just Chloe Nadine and Sam

Lost legacy gave me uncharted 2 vibes more than uncharted 4

Well I don't have much to say on the lost legacy compare to other uncharted games but I say being a new release that was originally DLC kinda remind torna the golden country case from xenoblade 2 or if magolor's epilogue from kirby's return to dreamland deluxe was a different title by it's own, I think the dynamic was solid even though I think I would care more on chloe if she was in more games like 3 and onward I am not saying chloe is a bad character far from it butI say sometimes amount of appearances can affect me in how much I know on the character and my relation to it like say if zero was showing first time in X4 even with all the stories would stay the same I can feel something is empty I am not saying any character should be in at least two games before having it's on story far from it but I dunno guys I feel like I want more from chloe as a whole but I need at the same time to remember that uncharted 4 is still the closure of nathan and the series' main character so try to do 5 in between wouldn't do too much for the series, I think gameplay is really good keep when U4 did and the lock pick can be useful if you get your moment, presentation is a bit a better than 4 like J said the hair physics with the rain really feel far more realistic and I say is quite an intresting epilogue like part in uncharted that close the series in a good way and while I still on my opinion that 4 is the best of uncharted I say if you want more uncharted 4 I think lost legacy would provide you the more of the same need if you really want more

My list that pretty much no one shares with me: 1. U2 2. Lost Legacy 3. U4 4. U3 5.U1

I wish the Nathan drake collection was on pc…

Please after the silver video make a vid on re5 6 7 and 8

Amazing Video. I want more Uncharted Games. The Lost Legacy is great and all but i dont like the ideo of playing as the daughter of Nathan Drake. I either want Drake or a completly new Character who is not related to Nathan Drake. Like give us an Uncharted set in the past where you play as Sir Francis Drake or as Henry Avery or so. Or play as someone different set in the Present. I think Nathans Daughter is to simillar to Nathan Drake and will feel like a copy cat. 10:00 They teased a new Uncharted (lets call it Uncharted 5) with Cassie Drake holding a torch in the "Live from PS5 - Bringing You The Extraordinary | PS5" video at the Time stamp 0:43. I wouldnt also mind an Ujcharted Reboot with Sullivan Nathan and Elena. The Events of Uncharted 1-3 with awesome graphics and new Gameplay. I hope the next Uncharted will be great. And i hope for a great future of Uncharted, as always #SicParvisMagna

Too bad ND doesn't plan another Uncharted game. I really like this series, even more than TLOU.

When I played Lost legacy I enjoyed it far more than I enjoyed U4 when I played it for the first time. I was burnout because I played rise of the tomb raider and then I moved to uncharted 4 and uncharted felt like a chore. This month I revisit Uncharted 4 in order to get the platinum in the PS4 version I have much to do but after I finish it a few days ago I immediately start my crushing playthrough on Lost Legacy yeah those two games are good. I still think the uncharted series can move forward from Nathan Drake but many people are stuck to him. Come on give the guy the end and retirement he deserves 😊. I never thought when I saw the epilogue in U4 I would be satisfied with an ending to a series like I felt in Uncharted 4 despite how tedious I felt playing I never denied that it was a good game but still U2 is better 😛😂

Luckily I find Nandine beating up both Nate and Sam single handedly to feel more humorous then anything. I wouldn't blame someone for finding it a little stupid. I mean Nate survived super soldiers ancient beast man things in Unchartered 2 and all that stuff. Yet somehow him and his brother are utterly helpless against a 140 pound mercenary woman at the same time? Like someone who played through all those games won't just go "wtf is this?". It's like if in God Of War Ragnarok, after all the strength feats Kratos has done, all the sudden him & Thor are getting their ass beat by a common Norse monster/god like Sleipnir. It'll feel stupid.

11:10 Batman: Arkham retrospective…?

Though, I am a little disappointed that the lost legacy hasn’t gotten a follow up of any kind, I do think it’s a smart move from Naughty Dog to move on from this series

Hey j can you do a review of sonic 3D in 2D a fangame of sonic 3d blast oh and the popular fangame sonic robo blast 2 in your next video

Lost legacy made me appreciate Nathan Drake and Sully that much more. Loved the light hearted ness that we didn’t get here. Just felt like complaining throughout. However, the train sequence near the end was stellar and really made the game from pretty good to great. Prefer the others in the series though

Okay but if we are being perfectly honest with ourselves Nadine going toe-to-toe with both Nate and Sam was truly bullshit. Nate alone was raising an eyebrow already (though it would be better as a cutscene instead of boring button mashing), but two of them at the same time? Come on now

I honestly really like it, but it's so short, like playing slow and doing all side content took me 10 hours, playing 2hrs each day and finished it quickly

You should put more hashtags in your description. Your videos are great and the algorithm may get you more of a reach.

I think it's really great... It's just the least memorable and least replayable game in the series. Lost Legacy doesn't have that one level I like to blast through.

I'm still willing to give this game a try sometime, but like I said in the comments of your Uncharted 4 video, I'm not the biggest Chloe fan and I hated Nadine (and no, not because she's black and a female), and because I was burnt out of Uncharted at the time, that's why I haven't played it yet. Nadine could've been any race or gender and I still would've hated the character. I know she's not actually a villain, but she never did anything in Uncharted 4 to not get a comeuppance of some kind. All other characters who did bad things in the franchise usually got what they deserved in some way. Nadine didn't in 4. Anyway I'm not a fan of that character, but I'll still try Lost Legacy sometime.

I might get hate for this but the uncharted series has always been “ok” for me I don’t hold them at a high standard like everyone else 2 is the best one to me of course but the rest has always just been alright. Yet when I played this one I genuinely really liked and enjoyed it. Idk what made me enjoy it so much maybe because it was more action heavy because one thing I did love about 4 was the combat and a game where more of that is in it I’m down.but maybe because it wasn’t that long so it didn’t stretch out anything. But this game holds up there for me

Lost Legacy is my favorite of the series. Way better than U4

Honestly, I’m fine with ending the Uncharted series. Better to end on a high note than becoming a shadow of your former self.

This game is not that good, i dont recommend this personally. Coz one of the tower bugged me in a position of no escape and the only way for me is to restart the chapter which i dont want to play again. Ah! i just deleted and finding youtube for the rest of stories.

I hated the fact that nathan drake gets beaten up by nadine, not because she is black, because it makes no sense. In uncharted 1, 2 and 3 the amount of fist fights drake has, especially in the 3rd game with the big brute guy. Yet you have this little 120-140 pound woman being able to take sam and drake at the same time, while she doesn't get touched once. But in lost legacy chole and nadine together can barely deal with the villain in a fist fight.... it makes no sense.

Um excuse me J how do you expect me to enjoy this video without my government mandated Sly reference???

The only things 1:46 I didn’t like is that she is jus a reskinned Nate. There’s nothing unique and I hated how weak they made Nadine.

glad ive watched your video, just finished thiefs end and found it boring, always the same, so ill skip lost legacy

what does nadine being black have to do with it? if he said that, thats definitely a bit unhinged, but that scene with nadine and nathan was definitely questionable

Uncharted 4 the best ❤👑👑👑

1:15-1:22 You got the god of war games?! Retrospective?

I have no idea why the interviewer asked Niel Druckman about Antia Sarkeesian. Were they trying to cause drama or something? They knew that no matter what Druckman said afterwards it would cause drama, right? Because anyone with half a brain knows that almost anything that lady says about games is bullcrap. Yes, there is some casual sexism in some video games (usually M rated "manly men" shooters/action games and older games) and in certain communities even sometimes blatant racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc, but gaming isn't inherently sexist as a whole and that lady CONSTANTLY get things wrong about the things she talks about in her videos. Naughty Dog has nothing to do with Anita and it's very unlikely Anita had any sort of direct influence unlike what anti-SJW conspiracy theorists like Yellow Flash claim. Despite how much I despise the story and characters of TLOU2, at least Neil Druckman is right in this specific senario. Like, why does it matter what gender a character is if it changes nothing? If men and women are equal, it shouldn't matter what their gender is and what role they play. Drake has lost to countless people before, (mostly men) so how is losing to Nadine any different? That guy who raged at Drake having a daughter instead of a son and losing to a woman was stupid. Like, does it matter? No, it doesn't. While it is true that a man at the same equivalent power level as a woman would beat the woman in general strength, the woman would beat the man in non-strength related agility and a well trained female MMA fighter can mess up like 99% of the male population. In the end gender differences aren't THAT major. An untrained man can't beat a well trained woman, it's just not possible. It's not like men and women different species, they're the same species just with different hormone levels causing different types of development. Of course, Drake isn't completely worthless in a fight as he's a hardened adventurer, but Nadine could indeed beat him since Nadine is clearly more buff, Nate had a lot of time off adventuring and is rusty, and correct me if I'm wrong but I think Nadine got the jump on him in their fight? But yeah they whole discorse over Niel's comments was stupid since he was right. On another note, I am interested to hear your views on TLOU2 because I'm getting very unclear messaging if you like the game or not. And if you do, you would literally be the first independent reviewer I've ever seen to like the game as every independent gave it a 0/10, 1/10, or 2/10 (highest I've seen as a 4/10 and that was only because he simped for the QoL) while EVERY "official" reviewer that got review codes (IGN, GameSpot, Game Informer, Kotaku, Polygon, PlayStation Monthly, PC Gamer, GameXplain, etc) gave it a perfect 10/10. I'm pretty sure rating the game a 10/10 was a requirement for getting a review code, which is review botting and is illegal. That game was so bad I can't even. Metacritic even banned user reviews for TLOU2 so it could keep an untrained perfect 100% review score without having a 0.2% user score right next to it hurting the clout. Not to mention the insane developer abuse and the Laura Bailey sex scandal that was hidden by the media. So many issues with that game, so I'll be very surprised if you are a fan of that disaster.

6:56 Yeah I'm one to take what Druckmann says with a grain of salt. That couldn't possibly have happened.

This game is so underrated in my opinion, I may be in the minority but I prefer it over U4

What you talked about with Nadine makes me roll my eyes as much as those who were up in arms about the fact Laura Bailey was the actress for her. Its frankly the same argument, just from different lenses. That aside, I liked this in that it let us follow one of the most popular characters of the series. And I somewhat appreciated that they illustrated a greater reality with Asav. That there are mad bigots in any group, and he's probably up there with those like the KKK. One more thing. You probably wouldn't know these, but something that could be an interesting series or just watch for you would be the Fox Kids age of shows. Like Men In Black the series, Godzilla, etc. Or do The Batman and Jackie Chan Adventures shows season by season. Those two I think had the same artists. The characters look pretty similar.

6:56 I laughed so much, that guy's so sexist and machist. But also, I had a lot of fun just seeing how ridiculous that baby-boy reaction was. It annoys me too how people are getting triggered just because a character is gay, lesbian, woman, black, trans, etc. have success in a story. Like omg, they can't have creativity to make their own characters or what? People like that forget that heros aren't only white men. Heroes aren't restricted to a skin color or gender, nor having minorities/diversified characters isn't just because they want to be "woke". Tbh, I just don't see how a character's kid being a girl is a big problem or a Black girl can beat a white guy. Guess is just intolerance Like I really want to know from the people who hate Nadine for beating Nate just for her skin color "what's the deal with her skin color?"

“Look at a popular IP and decide to not keep it going while past it’s shelf life.” Oh, is that why ND keeps making more Last of Us after the first game? A game by all accounts didn’t need to be a gaming franchise and considered an overhyped one because it did the not-COD things game critics of the early 2010’s liked much like Bioshock: Infinite when it came out. Though in hindsight, Uncharted, Jak and even Crash were more fortunate to go out strong with the old Naughty Dog than Dad Zombie Apocalypse Simulator has currently with the new Naughty Dog.

Girl boss the game. I couldn't bother finishing it
