You know a game is a masterpiece when the entire industry shifts itself to attempt to copy it. You know the kind of games I'm talking about. Super Mario Bros, DOOM, Grand Theft Auto 3, Dark Souls, The Witcher 3, all games excessively copied, yet none ever quite replicate the magic that they created. Uncharted 2 can firmly take it's place amongst them, as it's influence on modern AAA games is undeniable.
Every game wants to have Uncharted amazing set piece design, and flowing action, look at games like the new Tomb Raider, 2018 God of War, and even the story missions in newer Rockstar games like Red Dead Redemption 2. Uncharted is undeniably the greatest at this seamless flow between set piece, gameplay, and cinematics, that I still don't believe has been topped by anything other than Naughty Dog's own games, like The Last Of Us Part II, or Uncharted 4.
