Uncharted 2 was better than the first one in every single way. The shooting feels a hell of a lot better, the story while still not being the best in all of gaming was still pretty good, Chloe was a welcome addition, The character writing was still on point. and the setpieces were amazing. there were some annoying parts and the stealth is severely underbaked. when I first played it I treated the stealth like I was playing mgs you know wanting to complete sections only in stealth, only to learn much later that was not possible. But overall great game, huge step up over the original in every single way.

This is Indiana jones the game. The story isn't that great, sometimes it felt like too many shooting sections, the jetski is obviously horrible, and the puzzles just aren't puzzles. but i wouldn't go too far to ask why this got a sequel, the shooting is decent , the climbing was interesting enough but what really sold this game was the character interactions. good game obviously shouldn't skip because your playing the Nathan drake collection, it's right there. and also the sequels better but that's a give in.
