Game reviews - Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection revives the original epic, but Lego Dimensions doesn't have staying power
Series virgins are in for a treat with the collected Drake but, after the laughter subsides, the Lego toys-to-life effort isn't very special
Naughty Dog
This collection of the first three of action-adventure gaming series Uncharted gives you a chance to reacquaint yourself with this dynamic franchise, which seamlessly blended storytelling with interactive gameplay, before the next game in the series hits stores in March. It's available exclusively for the PS4, and gamers assume the role of the sub-titular smartass treasure hunter as he scours the fortune-filled developing world alongside his ageing but spritely mentor and a spunky young female journalist-slash-love interest.
It's Indiana Jones in game form obviously, a classically clichéd set-up that serves incredibly well for its series of ever-intensifying action scenes. Fighting off helicopters on the roof of a rickety moving train, escaping a burning building as it constantly collapses, desperately swimming out of a sinking cruise ship, jumping off a flaming plane without a parachute.
The stakes just get larger as the series progresses, and a big part of what made it so great was how involving everything felt - as if we were thrown into the middle of a blockbuster summer movie. That goes double for this remake.
