The gameplay in Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy is pretty linear. You play Nathan Drake in the main game, and Chloe Frazer in the expansion. They’re both standalone games. Explore jungles, drive 4x4s, climb cliffs and ruins, shoot enemies, and find treasure. You can sneak past enemies or shoot them. However, I don’t like combat. As you hide behind cover, enemies pepper you with bullets. If you die, you can quickly restart from a checkpoint. If you get stuck, you can get hints in the game. The game is mostly linear, but some parts are open, so you can drive around.
PS5 remaster doesn’t have ray-tracing, but it doesn’t need it. Uncharted 4 looks gorgeous on PS4, and the remastered version is even better. The PS4 version looks the same to me – I checked it out. There’s a new feature now that lets you play games in 4K at 30fps (Fidelity mode), or in 4K at 60fps (Performance), or in 1080p at 120fps (Performance+). While Fidelity looks great, Performance has 60 FPS smooth panning. In comparison, Fidelity feels slow. The LG C1 OLED 4K TV or the Sony Bravia XR A80J will give you Performance+, but it doesn’t look as good. Performance is what I recommend.
DualSense controllers now have haptic feedback. Triggers also provide resistance, so you feel like you’re pulling a gun trigger. The game’s vibrations make you feel like you’re inside it, just like Returnal. A headset with 3D spatial audio gives you the best experience. You’ll hear jungle sounds and bullets zipping by when you wear one. Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection for PC has some new features, like ultra widescreen mode. It’s okay if your PC isn’t up to it, you can raise or lower it. On our midrange Aftershock test rig, we got 60fps. If you want 4K, you’ll need a more powerful PC.
