Should you play the Nathan Drake Collection before Uncharted: Lost Legacy on PS5?

An important question is whether gamers should play the Nathan Drake Collection before diving into Uncharted: Lost Legacy on the PlayStation 5. Lost Legacy is coming to the console as a part of the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves collection, alongside Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.

While Lost Legacy is very much its own game, and is a standalone expansion to Uncharted 4: A Thief’s end, should players tackle the Nathan Drake Collection first? They don’t have to, but it will add a significant amount of depth and understanding of the franchise.

While the first game, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, is incredibly old and did not age especially well, it sets the stage for many of the characters that players will interact with. To this day, fans care about Drake and the cast of characters he interacts with across the original trilogy.

While the first game did not age well, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception certainly did. There’s a great deal of charm in all three games, learning more about the charming, cunning Nathan Drake, and the many adventures he finds himself on.

The first appearance of treasure hunter Nathan Drake in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is unforgettable. The rumored descendant of Francis Drake, he seeks out the lost treasure of El Dorado. It was an exciting concept to see come to life, and set the stage for the Uncharted franchise.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is often heralded as one of the best games in the Uncharted series. It’s set two years after Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune and follows Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer. The two are searching for the lost city of Shambhala and the Cintamani Stone. They are racing against a Serbian war criminal (Zoran Lazarević) and a crew of mercenaries.
