ok so now im back home, time for a review of uncharted 2!

Ok first about the game in general: the game is still gorgeous. the landscapes are amazing and all the locations have a lot of little details it’s so good. the graphics obviously are better than the first one, altho there’s that sense of “3dism” that has increased here. The first one has choppy textures that make some stuff more “real” while this one is for not finding a better word “perfect”: some surfaces are too shiny which adds that sensation of cgi. That’s actually something i ahve noticed is a usual mistake: i noticed that in the narnia’s movies, where the first aslan is better than the second one. But that’s technical stuff and im picky af.

The movements seems more fluid, altho there were some bugs once or twice. The amin problem for me were the battles: the enemies were unbelivable strong or too difficult to kill which frustated me as a watcher of the playthrough cause the poor player had to do it more than once. That was more noticebale when Lazarevic killed the “monters” in one shot of his shotgun while Nathan spent more than 200 bullets of an M4 and nothing.

The mythology in general improved from the first one, and altho the “crazy monters” thingy still made me cringe, it was more understandable that a substance caused that and not just a curse. At least the explanation seemed more “real”

Ok the characters now

Boy if everyone had a character development! For good and for bad but character development nonless

Let’s start with Nathan

Ah, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan. A lot of things happened to him in the first part and we learned that he is the kind of characters that doenst care about the rest unless that rest involves the people he cares about. That tells me he is the kind of person that was alone when little and only trusted in few close people, believing that if the world didnt care for him when he needed to he doesnt need to care for the world unless it involves him. The museum part told me that he really doesnt care about the culture in general (he destroyed and invaluable relic. I gasped at that). And there’s also a part in which Flynn says he has guns and Nathan is very much realy to start killing the guards (which were only doing their job. Nathan and co. were doing the damage there). Also there’s a moment in the game that Nathan could throw a guard out of the roof and dont tell me that that guy didnt die of the fall.

His releationship with Chloe seemed something that wasnt going to last and im sure the both of them knew about it. But that releationship it’s crutial because it lets Nathan grow out of his “hero phase”. When Chloe rejects him and his attempt of being the hero day and he ends up losing, it really shakes him up. Again, when he is talking with Elena and Shafer about the damage Lazarevic can cause he doesnt care until he sees Shafer’s camp. And then the masacre of the town. I think is that moment when he realizes what is happening is bigger than him and his selfishness. I really hope he had learned from that experience tho. I still need to grow on him but we’ll see in the next games.

Let’s go with Chloe. Love her and her character. Very confident of herself, she is the kind of person that had learned to survive and adapt to the situation. She really cares about other people even if she doesnt know them and knwos are innocent, like Jeff and Elena. She wanted them to go away when they met in the town wans’t completly jealously: she was aware of how horrible Lazarevic was and if she heard about “Lazarevic’s shadow” she was completly sure he was going to kill them. Which end up sort of happening. Chloe also knows when to give up: when Nathan couldnt beat Lazarevic twice, she ended up ditching him. Understandable, cause Nathan insisted to be the hero and that only would have end up killing him (again, something that almost happened). 

But while she is concious of the damage Lazarevic could cause she is, like i said, a survivor so she was ready to run at the first opportunity. I liked that moment when Elena and Nathan are trying to convince her to go with them and Chloe is like “Fuck you” and then Elena approachs softly and Chloe changed completly to “ok, but still, fuck you”. Tbh i liked her chemistry better with Elena than Nathan tho. It took for the two women to be in a couple of near death situation and they ended up caring a lot for each other. Suck that, Nate.

Last main im going to talk is Elena. Love her too a lot. She didnt give a fuck about Nathan and his sheaningans, but still cared about him. She also didnt want to fight with Chloe when they both met, but she didnt submit to her neither. There was a respect between the two that grow with the time. She was also the only one wanted to help because it was the right thing to do and people were dying. That’s why it’s totally understandable her reaction to Nathan when she notices that he is part of the reason Lazarevic killed all the people. And then she’s more horrified when she becames part of the reason the tibetian town was almost murdered and Shafer, kidnapped. Sadly her willingness to help people almost end up costing her life. I really want to see more about her in teh next games.

For the villain tho the last final battle was amazing. Better than the last one and the difficulty was expected for a boss. It would have intereting seeing Lazarevic in the middle of the resin fire tho haha. 

So this game was betetr than the previous one, altho the fights were tedious to me except for the boss. Some puzzles also were tooooo long like the one with Tenzin. Having more short puzzles and less long fightings would be better tbh.

Let’s see what the next game has for then.
