Review: Uncharted: Legacy Of Thieves Collection is spectacular on PC

videogameschronicle.com:

With the Legacy Of Thieves Collection, we finally know how good one of gaming’s most spectacular franchises can look on a high-end PC: very, very good.

The Collection combines Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: Lost Legacy, two PS4 titles that were bundled together on PS5 earlier this year.

While it’s a bit of a shame that BluePoint’s excellent collection of the first three console games in the franchise didn’t make the jump with the more modern titles, if anything that could be seen as a shrewd move by PlayStation, hooking PC loyalists with this collection and them tempting them back into the PlayStation ecosystem to complete the journey.

The ports feature all the trimmings of the modern PlayStation PC releases, so what you’re going to get out of the experience performance-wise is largely down to the amount of beef you can throw at it. 4K at 60FPS, something not possible with the PS5 release is doable here, and ultra-wide monitor support makes the game look like you’re sitting in an IMAX cinema.

Although this isn’t a collection that purely serves the absolute top-of-the-range rigs, there’s a huge amount of graphical options that make it run on pretty much anything.

Steam Deck further cements itself as the PlayStation Vita 2 we’ve been waiting for with this release. The streak of loading up a new PlayStation – PC migration and being stunned at how well it runs will never, ever get old.

It’s not going to look like the PC or PS5 versions, but it’s not far from a base PS4, and that’s astonishing considering it’s a handheld. Much like with Marvel’s Spider-Man on PC, the Steam Deck support isn’t a novelty, it’s a brilliant and unique way to play the games, even if you’ve already played them on PS4 or PS5.
