released the PS5 version, Uncharted: The Rogue Legacy Collection (hereinafter referred to as the Rogue Legacy Collection) finally officially landed on PC on October 19.
If the previous PS5 version was a new plate of cold rice, then the PC version of "The Rogue Legacy Collection" is to put this plate of cold rice in the microwave to reheat it again - except for some details on the screen and handle adaptation Other than that, it's almost identical to the PS5 version.
Fortunately, this is the first time that the Sony exclusive IP "Uncharted" has landed on the PC platform. Therefore, it also gives more players the opportunity to use the most cutting-edge technology to taste the taste of this classic series.
's next-generation upgrade
"The Thief's Legacy Collection" includes two works of the 4th generation "A Thief's End" and the rumored "Lost Legacy". Thanks to the comprehensive upgrade of graphics technology, even if they have been released for five or six years, they are still It still shows the top picture performance on the PC.
's rich facial details, delicate light and shadow, and clear vision double the realism of the picture; while smooth mirror movement, unique composition, and carefully designed color saturation and other items add to the game's Created a lot of shocking scenes, I always feel relaxed and happy every time I watch it.
Among them, the scene in "Lost Legacy" impressed me even more. An indoor scene shortly after the opening caught my eye: the raindrops in the pouring rain formed a rolling water curtain on the sloping window, and when I got closer, I heard the raindrops hitting the glass. The clear and soft sound makes people feel very comfortable, as if listening to white noise.
And many times when I solve a puzzle or complete a series of climbing sessions, the game will reward me with an unexpected natural beauty, or a majestic mountain, or a mysterious ruin , every time I see these scenes, I feel that the hard work I have paid before is worth it. The most notable change in the PC version of
is undoubtedly the richer screen customization options. You are no longer limited to the "quality" and "performance" modes like in the PS5 version, but you can make more detailed customization adjustments, so as to achieve "I want all the picture quality and the number of frames". The game also supports two technologies, DLSS and FSR, but the difference in actual use is not obvious.
When I play on a test machine equipped with an RTX2070SUPER (8GB) graphics card, the picture options are adjusted to the full maximum (Ultra), the 4K resolution of 3860*2140 is turned on, and after using the DLSS performance mode, the game can basically run at more than 60 frames throughout the entire game. The situation runs smoothly, only a few large scenes will not be able to stabilize 60 frames. This is obviously much better than the performance of 4k and 30 frames in the PS5 version of "Fidelity Mode". However, if you switch DLSS to quality mode, the stuttering phenomenon will increase significantly.
And when I play with a laptop with a 3060 (6GB) graphics card, in the full maximum, 1080P resolution, DLSS performance mode, even if there is a prompt in the settings that the video memory is insufficient, most scenes can be stably maintained at seventy or eighty The frame rate is also very stable and smooth for hot scenes like the final driving chase of "Lost Legacy", and it can reach 120 frames in some small indoor scenes. If players want to pursue a higher frame rate, they can also slightly reduce the graphics options - the memory usage of the full-height screen has been significantly improved, and at first glance, the difference with the full-high screen is not much.
In addition, this work not only designed a new operating mode for the keyboard and mouse, but also provided the adaptation of the DuelSense controller, but it has some conflicts with the controller configuration of Steam, you need to turn off all controllers The configuration can be recognized only after entering the game, otherwise it will become the ABXY key of XBOX in the game. Compared with our previous PS5 version evaluation conclusion, the tactile feedback effect of the PC version is better. When you climb, land, and die, you will feel vibrations of different intensities, some small movementsThe details of the vibrations are also very rich. For example, when the protagonist is writing a diary, people will feel a subtle vibration like the scratching of a pen tip, and when the protagonist turns on the flashlight, it is a crisp and neat vibration. It's like flipping a switch in reality.
and the effect of the adaptive trigger has not changed much compared to the PS5 version. Different guns in the game have some subtle differences in key travel and force feedback, which make them feel different. The force feedback when driving a boat and driving is very similar to the "trigger feeling" when shooting, and there is no gradual resistance like when you step on the accelerator.
Treasure Hunt
I have to say that Legacy of Rogues is a game of admirable quality, even if it were a brand new release. By today's industry standards, it still achieves top production standards.
Since the stories told in these two works are relatively independent, even players who have never been in contact with the series can enjoy it without any obstacles. However, for some old characters in the series, they may not be able to appreciate them because they do not know them. It belongs to the "feelings" of old players. I recommend that new players play The Lost Legacy after completing A Thief's End, so that they can get a better understanding of the characters that appear in both films.
No matter which of the two works, the core experience provided to players is similar. They create high-quality linear levels with three parts of climbing, gunfight/stealth, and puzzle solving, supplemented by cinematic narrative and broadcast links, and finally present an Indiana Jones-style popcorn adventure story.
It will not deliberately embarrass the player, nor is it too difficult. The puzzle-solving part that requires the most brainstorming usually hardly consumes more than ten minutes of your time. There is no mandatory stealth link in the game, you can do whatever you want at any time, and the gunfight part also has an optional self-aiming system (supporting keyboard and mouse mode), which also makes the game experience smooth for most people. And be happy - at least I occasionally like the feeling of using self-aiming to open the unparalleled feeling.
Although you can't find any fun in character growth in "The Rogue Legacy Collection", and the degree of freedom in the game is relatively limited, it polishes most of the classic gameplay required for an action-adventure game to the extreme, so that you It's hard to find any flaws in the game.
Of course, its popcorn-style plot may be somewhat vulgar, and the reuse of some gameplay such as climbing and pushing boxes also makes people feel a little tired and boring, but you can still feel that the game is trying to create some new ideas . In The Lost Legacy, for example, when you push the box down from a height to use it as a stepping stone, it smashes through the floor - just to save you a lot of trouble later. When
unlocks the lock, the companion will also make some unexpected actions
However, in the process of playing, I also encountered some minor problems: an unexplained crash and flashback, when the keyboard and mouse are mixed with the controller, some such as The bug of not being able to fire a gun, and the situation of falling from mid-air after being resurrected a few times - but the amazing thing is that when I resurrected again, I found that I was born in a different safe position, so that the situation of falling to death in mid-air disappeared. This "bad gear mechanism" is so amazing that I have absolutely no idea how it works.
Another point worth complaining about is the P90 "assault rifle"...
Overall review
If you have a good graphics card, Uncharted: Rogue Legacy Collection will undoubtedly perform better on PC than on PS5. It not only inherits everything from the PS5 version, but also has richer screen customization options, and further exerts the dualSense's handle performance. And if you are a new player who has not yet come into contact with the Shenhai series, then these two works are enough to make you feel the unique charm of this series and enjoy an all-round audio-visual feast.
