Even more Uncharted for those who couldn't get enough of dickhead extraordinaire and part time psychopath Nathan Drake and his ethically questionable adventures despite not being presented as such. Being facetious, of course. Bad stealth that isn't really viable because enemies have way too good of an eyesight notwithstanding, virtually everything in this game shows some improvement over the original. The long ass time to recover your health is still here and still makes me want to die, but I actually had fun with the combat, and sections like the train or the big convoy where you jump from truck to truck were really memorable and a joy to sit through despite all my deaths because I played on hard again. Even the story is better, Nathan went from a smug cunt on Uncharted 1 to a slightly more tolerable smug cunt here. Also the puzzles were pretty decent, none were all that hard or illogical and several are equally as memorable as the best combat sections, with special mention to the overhauled Nathan's notebook, which still gives you how to solve the puzzle in a pretty simple way, but its a lot more visually striking and interesting to sift through.
