A real step forward towards the franchise they wanted to become, pushing more towards a run and gun game compared to the first.
Guns feel much better here and the addition of strafing makes the combat flow well.
A weaker story and villian hold it back compared to the first with planets that don't stand out as much to me.

This is my favourite game of all time. It truly excels in pretty much every aspect.
The grungy early 2000s vibe is on point, with characters being a mix of funny one-offs and a compelling hero's journey.
Planets are varied and colourful with the best soundtrack in the series and one of my favourite OSTs ever.
Guns are simpler than future entries but they hit those key archetypes and are still super fun with some great gadgets as well. (the trespasser is my favourite puzzle gadget in the series)
This is easily the game i've played the most amount of times, i've probably played through it over 100 times at this point and its currently the only game i've got into speedrunning for because i could play this forever
