* PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure: The reveal that Chloe was hiding from Nadine [[spoiler: that she and Sam Drake are working together, causes Nadine to feel outright betrayed. When Chloe tries to explain, or more like excuse, why she hadn't told Nadine earlier, Nadine punches her in the face, then takes the Jeep and leaves Chloe behind.]]

* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:Orca, Nadine's lieutenant, who was last seen heading towards Avery's ship near the end of ''Uncharted 4'', appears as a major character. Her other lieutenant, Knot, died on the ship.]]

** Sam's first instincts when faced with a ledge out of reach are to search for a caster-wheeled crate of some kind -- just like he was able to find in, as many reviewers noted, an ancient Scottish monastery and a Malagasy pirate utopia. Here, in rural India, he has no such luck.

* MyGodYouAreSerious: Stated word for word by Sam [[spoiler:when Chloe and Nadine agree that they will legally turn in the Tusk of Ganesh to the Indian authorities rather than auction it off to the highest bidder. Sam is still trying in the post-credits scene to get them to back out of what he admits is "the moral thing" to do]].

** The Hoysala Kingdom is hypothesized as some kind of lost Ancient Kingdom, but it was only active between the 10th and 14th century CE, rough contemporaries of [[UsefulNotes/TheVikingAge the vikings]] and UsefulNotes/TheCrusades. For reference one of the oldest civilizations in the world, The Indus Valley, was in the area and had Urbanized around 2500 BCE meaning the India area had some form of culture for about three thousand years before the Hoysala.

** The plot of the game is about Nadine [[spoiler:going from mercenary commander OnlyInItForTheMoney reforming herself through her friendship with Chloe Frazer. She is appalled that Shoreline after dropping her, have become arms-dealers and she gives up the mercenary life for good]].

* TheWorfEffect/RedemptionDemotion: In ''A Thief's End'', Nadine was shown to be a highly competent hand-to-hand combatant, capable of taking on both Drake brothers at once with little problem. In this game, Asav repeatedly keeps pace with both Nadine ''and'' Chloe in fights, and at one point stuns Nadine after body-slamming her through a statue. As a bonus, he's older than either of them.

** Chloe snarks that she never went to America which hangs a lampshade that the Uncharted series (except for the flashback to the orphanage in ''Uncharted 4'') are never set in USA. She also notes about the Drake brothers that while she knows Nate well, she doesn't know Sam, muttering [[RememberTheNewGuy he just came out of nowhere]], echoing many complaints fans had about Sam.

* UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler:Orca, one of Nadine's lieutenants, was last seen after having been caught in an exploding booby trap on Thomas Tew's ship, the Amity, and looked to be quite dead. Apparently, he was just knocked cold, as he shows up here running Shoreline in Nadine's stead and brokering an arms deal with Asav.]]

* {{Eagleland}}: Chloe has a Type 2 attitude. She notes that while she has traveled across the world, she has never been to the United States of America and hangs a {{Lampshade}} on it by stating that America is only 200 hundred years old and doesn't have much history for an adventure setting. Now this might be an indication of her GlobalIgnorance but America had a long history, even among the settlers even before UsefulNotes/TheAmericanRevolution, the entire Western part of America was under Spanish and French rule, there are Native American [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pueblo ruins]] and in Canada, you have Viking settlements.

* WideOpenSandbox: Once you complete the opening missions, the entire Western Ghats section is open with missions, side-missions, other collectibles, and activities fully open to be completed in any order. Many compared it to the driving section in Madagascar in the middle of the VanillaGame but made into an entire game.

''Uncharted: Lost Legacy'' is the standalone entry in the ''VideoGame/{{Uncharted}}'' series. It's a sequel to ''VideoGame/Uncharted4AThiefsEnd'' and the first entry in the entire franchise to not feature Nathan Drake as the protagonist.

** Persia, as in Ancient Persia, has ''never'' invaded India as a whole, and the parts of India that might have been clients of the Persians are today in Afghanistan and Pakistan, they never reached Karnataka and the Western Ghats (they never made it south of the Himalayas, leave alone the Sahyadris). , where the Hoysala Kingdom is located (it was the Delhi Sultans, under Allauddin Khilji who conquered the South and it would be ridiculous to call them Persian since many of them were descended from Afghans, Uzbeks, Mongols)[[note]]The only major event of Persian (or Iranian) invasion of India was Nader Shah's sack of Delhi in 1739, which was the ShockingDefeatLegacy of the Mughal Empire, leading to the loss of the Koh-I-Noor diamond and the Peacock Throne, and even that was more a raid rather than outright conquest, since Nader Shah went back to Persia after looting and raiding the North of India[[/note]].
