In our Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection PC review content, we take a look at the overall dynamics of the game that has finally made its way to the PC platform.
Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, which also includes Nathan Drake’s last adventure, was re-adapted for Playstation 5 at the beginning of the year and presented to game lovers who have never played or wanted to remember this adventure. As I said, this special package includes Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy games. Come now Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection PC Let’s take a closer look at the overall dynamics of this game, but most importantly, what it has to offer on PC in our review content.
Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection PC review
First of all, the most important part of this game is that it is the first Uncharted game to come to the PC platform. For this reason, many game lovers’ minds “I haven’t played the previous games in the series, will I enjoy this?” or “do I miss the story?” questions may be swirling. We can unequivocally answer no to this. In other words, you don’t even need to have a command of the series to play and understand the two games in this package. The story already offers a new adventure in itself and tries to adapt you to this adventure as much as possible. I can only answer that, play Uncharted 4 first and then Lost Legacy. Since the two are together, the ranking was made accordingly.
Of course, I don’t want to talk about the dynamics and stories of these games in detail here, because the reviews of both games and this special version are already available on our site. You can get more detailed information about the games from our Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End review, Uncharted: Lost Legacy review and Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves review content. This time, we will briefly touch on the story and dynamics and focus more on the PC version.
Uncharted 4 takes place three years after the previous game in the series. Of course, with the flashbacks, we learn details about Nathan’s childhood and his older brother Sam, which we have never heard of, like his wife Elena. After a series of events, our goal is to find Captain Avery’s $400 million treasure, which has become the goal of Sam’s life.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy takes place after the story of A Thief’s End, and we embark on an adventure with Nadine Ross, whom we met in this game, and Chloe Frazer, who will be remembered by those familiar with the series. Our goal is to find Ganesha’s Tooth, one of India’s best known treasures. Of course, our opponents appear in this adventure as well, and a race with lots of action awaits us.
The story line in Uncharted games is based on action as always. Although there are stealth dynamics from time to time, you find yourself in all kinds of trouble for most of the game. Of course, at this point, taking cover, platform dynamics and melee system constitute the backbone of the gameplay. All the stones have been put in place so that the cinematic atmosphere of the game will affect the gameplay. In particular, dynamics such as jumping to a place with a hook and swooping down on the opponent lead to the emergence of some kind of gassing scenes.
Frankly, while playing Uncharted, there are many times that I think I’m watching an Indiana Jones or an adventure that would turn a blind eye to action movies. Because the game’s story and action balance is so successful that it manages to draw you in from the very first minute. So even though I’ve played this story many times and I know what’s going to happen, I have to say that I enjoyed it. Especially if you are a PC player who has never played Uncharted before, I can say that an excellent adventure awaits you. In fact, I would really like to be with you in the famous chase scene in Uncharted 4 and hear your opinions about the game. I think this part is one of the best action sequences in the history of the game.
Of course, DualSense support, one of the most important innovations of the game for Playstation 5, is also included in the PC version. Dualsense is a really great device, and the fact that Sony offers this support for PC in its games already puts the game ahead 1-0. The adaptive trigger feature is embedded in every action moment, from driving to weapons. Tactile feedback, on the other hand, traps even the slightest vibration in your palms, allowing you to feel that atmosphere. Of course, let’s not forget the 3D sound support. Sony has adapted these innovations to an old game very well.
Let’s get to the graphics of the game. Although Uncharted 4 is an old game, we can say that with its animation structure, graphics and atmosphere, it can already bring stones to many games today. At this point, we can say that there is a kind of improved port version in front of us, which has not been rebuilt specifically for the game PC. Of course, we still see that many advantages brought by PC hardware are absorbed into this game.
First of all, the loading times are quite short. You only encounter a short loading moment when opening the game. After the game, it almost flows and continues without interrupting you like a movie. The main highlight on the technical side is, of course, the frame rate per second, namely FPS. Even on mid-level computers, the game, where you can easily pass the 30 / 60 FPS threshold, comes up with 150-160 FPS if you have a good hardware.
For example, I played the game on a 144Hz monitor and I can say that the action flows like butter. When you open VSynch it is already fixed to this high value, which is more than enough. I must say that I encountered a small problem in this regard. While the game was on Vsych, for some reason, in the famous first episode, there were abnormal ruptures at the moments when the lights appeared. Apart from that, I also encountered minor bugs like Nathan’s arm turned upside down. This problem will probably be fixed with a small patch.
Of course, as we are used to from other Sony games, PC-specific technologies are also adapted to this game. If you have a widescreen monitor, I can say that you can enjoy the game, which already has excellent views, much more. Likewise, sharper visuals in 4K resolution are waiting for you. By the way, one of the biggest visual differences of the PC version lies in sharpness and lighting. These two elements put that atmosphere in the game on a clearer path.
Conclusion
All in all, the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is a beautiful package that brings together two great adventures. If you have experienced this adventure on console before, I cannot say that many different things await you. The exit price of 499 TL, which is quite advantageous compared to abroad, may seem unnecessary for those who have experienced it before. But if you are a PC gamer who has never played Uncharted before, I can say that it is a package you will want to buy without blinking.
Let me remind you that if you still don’t know, both Uncharted games have the option of Turkish subtitles and more importantly dubbing. I don’t normally like Turkish dubbing, but I played this game from start to finish, just like I did in the past, with Turkish dubbing. The inclusion of successful names such as Okan Yalabık, Ege Aydan, Ceyda Düvenci and Dolunay Soysert in the staff contributed to the emergence of a very high quality work.
