How this score was computed

The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.

    The arrival of Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection on PC screens can be described as a success, even though a few minor flaws and technical issues bring the title down a notch. Despite this, you’ll thoroughly enjoy both adventures, and I personally hope that we’ll eventually see a remaster and subsequent release of the previous installments as well, something I’d definitely welcome on PC. On behalf of us at Gaming Professors, the PC version of Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection earns a splendid 7.5 out of 10. Were it not for the minor flaws, I would have gladly given the game 8.5, or even 9 out of 10.

    Its shortcomings are exposed in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, which lacks a bit of polish. And while support for ultra-wide displays and native 4K 60fps appear mouthwatering, I'm not sure that will be enough to draw in those who have already experienced these games on PS4 or PS5 for a second helping.

    Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection uses the PlayStation 5 hardware to make two of PlayStation's modern classics even better. It's a must play for those new to the series whilst also being fresh enough for returning fans to warrant an overdue replay.

    Whether you’re jumping into these 2 games for the first time or not, they’ve never looked or played better than they have in this new collection for the PS5. I was a little disappointed with the lack of any new content and the removal of the core game’s multiplayer mode, but for those that play Uncharted purely for the single player experience this is clearly the definitive way to play the (currently) concluding chapters to the series.

    Playing Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy really closed off a chapter in my own gaming life. It’s the one series that really feels like “home” to me. I realized this even more so when playing it again now.

    Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection doesn't quite hit as hard if you've played the others, but it's still well worth the trip if you're new or aching for a revisit. Just watch out for that lightning.

    Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is an okay option for those getting into Uncharted for the first time with the latest games on the PS5. I replayed the new versions of both titles and was reminded how entertaining they are, not only to the player, but to those fortunate enough to be spectating.

    Ultimately, the worth of Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection on PC will depend on your situation. If you've experienced the boosted performance and fidelity of the existing PS5 remaster, you'll struggle to justify another purchase - but for those who have yet to experience these classic PS4 titles, this is a fantastic port, complete with all of the graphical prowess that you'd expect.

    If you like action games, the two Uncharted games are an excellent proposition, even in the year 2022, and will keep you company for about 25 hours. It's not often that we see such thoughtful and well-crafted games on our monitors, and hopefully in the future Sony will add the first three Uncharted games to the bundle.

    Uncharted 4 and The Lost Legacy look better than ever. Playing them at 60 frames per second is a treat and the basic implementation of the DualSense haptics On the other hand, these details are perhaps insufficient to justify another ride through the world of Uncharted. That's not to mention the fact that this is a paid product and not a free upgrade. That said, it is undeniable that this is the best version of 2 great jewels of the Naughty Dog catalog.
