'Uncharted: The Lost Legacy' Game Review

Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross take their first adventure together in Naughty Dog's newest release, "Uncharted: The Lost Legacy"! This expansion onto the Uncharted Series follows a "thief", Chloe Frazer, who was introduced for the first time in "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves". Chloe is on a quest to retrieve the Tusk of Ganesh, a treasure her father had been after when she was younger.

Chloe teams up with Mercenary, Nadine Ross, who was a main antagonist of "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End". Chloe and Nadine travel into the Western Ghats of India in search of the artifact. However, they find themselves in dangerous territory when a rebel leader, Asav, stays hot on their trail, sometimes even a step ahead.

Deep in the mountains of India, Chloe and Nadine find themselves dodging enemy fire, solving puzzles, and climbing ancient statues left behind after great battles. For the first time in an Uncharted game, it was possible to have somewhat of a open world experience. While the story is still pretty solid, the multiple destinations that need to be reached can be visited in any order, at any time. There is also an optional little quest to look for and find 11 golden tokens that solve a puzzle, leading Chloe and Nadine to receive a queen's bracelet.

Chloe and Nadine as a treasure hunting duo was really intriguing to me when I first heard about the game. With Nadine being the second biggest antagonist in Uncharted 4, I was a bit skeptical about how her and Chloe would mesh together. The second they had their first meeting in-game I knew I was in for one heck of an adventure with these two. They have a very special dynamic where you can see that sometimes there is some clashing but there is also a deep friendship that neither one of them wants to admit exists.

There was also one specific moment after they collapsed basically an entire ancient ruin and barely made it out alive and Chloe goes to give Nadine a high-five. Needless to say it was a complete failure on all accounts and maybe it was just me, but the dialogue that followed made me laugh pretty hard.

Asav, the "unassuming" villain also managed to make quite the impression in just seven hours of game play. I say unassuming as a repeat term used often in the game to describe him- and it can't be more on point. The first time I saw him, I thought he was maybe just a little archaeological nerd with his tucked in shirt, gelled back hair, and circular glasses. Here, let me show you.

Unassuming, yes? Oh boy, how wrong I was. Hand-to-hand combat with this man proved to be a fruitless venture as he is a complete and total badass. Let me tell you he is one relentless fighter who seems to really enjoy kicking people and throwing them through walls. He became even more impressive when he punched bricks right off a wall that normally would have needed a grenade to take down.

Finally, Sam! Samuel Drake made a surprise appearance closer to the end of the game. Sam was first introduced in Uncharted 4, without anyone even knowing he existed. He became a quickly beloved but difficult character that honestly, caused more problems than he solved.

Nonetheless, it was more than exciting to see him again, especially since we all know the Nate is officially retired. Now I know some other people have got to be thinking it but there was a little something something going on between Sam and Nadine, no?

I think it would be a great thing to have a full-length Uncharted game with Chloe, Nadine, and Sam going after a treasure and I really hope that "A Lost Legacy" will not be the last we see of the Uncharted series.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
