1. The Best Sequence Naughty Dog Have Ever Coded

- Spoilers for the finale of Lost Legacy -

Imagine a blend of Uncharted 2's landmark train sequence with Uncharted 4's jeep chase. That's literally how Lost Legacy ends, and though you can say it's 'easier' for the coders to draw on two established moments, the results are phenomenal to play.

Immediately, once you realise this is going to happen - that they're actually going to channel Amongst Thieves' most iconic moment - it's great to see, yet of course you've got the revamped combat model and animations of today, with rope-swinging that lets you leap around the sides of various carriages.

Enemy jeeps can be commandeered as you leap from train to vehicle and back again, there's a moment where you have to stop for a quick firefight and the whole thing ends with a showdown against Asav where both Chloe and Nadine deliver a twin finishing blow.

It's immaculate, a combination of everything Naughty Dog have done for the last 10 years firing off in one 15-20 minute sequence that - incredibly - always feels under your control.
