UNCHARTED: THE LOST LEGACY

If you thought Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End was the end of the series, you would have been right in one regard. It was the end for protagonist Nathan Drake, but in this iteration we have some (kinda) new players in the game. Enter Nadine Ross and Chloe Frazer. Those that have played the other entries in the Uncharted franchise will recognise these ladies from previous Nathan Drake adventures, but you’ll now get to embody one of these two feisty

females in a new, standalone entry. Nadine and Chloe must team up - despite their differences - in order to get their hands on the mythical Tusk of Ganesh. You can look forward to the same kind of combat and gameplay mechanics from the previous entries - it is a Naughty Dog game, so you’ll be solving puzzles, navigating treacherous pathways, and shooting baddies in abundance. You can expect the fighting styles to be more

true to the characters, and the treasure-hunting mechanics will likely be more realistic and involved; after all, the development team bought a real lock-picking set to play around with for research.

GENRE: ACT/ADV PLATFORM: PS4 | XBO | PC RELEASE: 18/08/17 MULTIPLAYER: YES

Dinosaurs roamed planet Earth 65 million years ago. However, they’ve decided to have another crack at it in ARK: Survival Evolved . It’s got a bit of everything, really; RPG, action/adventure, survival - the list goes on. It’s up to you to take to the wilderness and forge your own path in the world - which may or may not include riding dinosaurs. With the retail release comes the first sponsored mod DLC - Ragnarok - so you can also fly Gryphons. Set aside a fair chunk of time for this one - you’re gonna need it.

Finally. Finally. Agents of Mayhem has been stewing for a while, and it’s at last ready to release onto console. This open world action adventure game is set in the Saints Row universe, so be prepared for a hell of a lot of crazy coming your way. You’ll play as an Agent of MAYHEM - the Multinational AgencY Hunting Evil Masterminds - aiming to take out the LEGION. Take with you two other agents of a selection of 12 that

you can freely switch between to take out enemies in Seoul. All your Agents have their own personalities and movesets, so you need to choose a strong combination. Good luck.
