Uncharted 2: Among Theives

Uncharted 2

Uncharted 2 is a great game that is an improvement on the first in almost every way—story, visuals, and gameplay… not only that but it is also quite a bit longer than the first.

First of all, the game looks a lot better than the first—and I would argue that it kind of (not really) holds up today aesthetically, from an art-style perspective at least. The animations all look way better and all of that is great. But I don’t wanna just wanna make comparisons to the two games constantly because that’s boring—so I’ll just list the big differences here.

Control

Control is an amazing game with an amazing atmosphere. While a little short I think it suits it well, and after playing it… I think it’s become one of my favorite games I’ve played so far!

You play as Jesse Faden, in search of her brother who was taken away by the FBC (Federal Bureau of Control)… which is basically the SCP foundation.

Gameplay

The gameplay in control is something akin to a metroidvania, just more linear than a game you’d traditionally call a metroidvania. The game while mostly story focused has quite a lot of side content as well, especially with the two DLCs—that being said it’s still quite short. I’ve heard of people finishing the game in like 9 hours. I got the plat in about 19. Finished both the DLCs in 21 I think.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Remastered

Uncharted 1 Uncharted 1 is a game that had potential—it’s not perfect but it was good enough for a sequel :D.

Platinum Experience

Uncharted 1 starts you off right in the action—and that’s indicative of the whole game. Having now beaten the game on Crushing (legit) and acquired the platinum. I have to say, while the game has its flaws, I had a lot of fun doing it!

The main gripe I have with the game, is that there is a LOT of shooting—compared to Uncharted 4.1

About

My name is Rei, I’m a normal girl that likes to play video games and write about it. I don’t expect most people to read this site. I made this site as a place to post my writing, be it about video games, my other hobbies and my general thoughts on a topic or something like that. At first this site was mainly meant to be a collection of my thoughts on video games that I’ve completed. However, I decided that I shouldn’t limit myself to that since I have a lot of fun writing.

kono baka ga!

Completion List

This is a list of the games I have completed—not in any particular order. The games in “platinumed” are games I have gotten all the achievements for but have not done enough for me to consider them completed 100%.1

100%

Platinumed

  1. 100% Doesn’t necessarily mean 100% of the in-game completion (if the game has a counter, or something similar) but rather what I deem to be 100%. e.g. I consider getting all of the confidants in Persona 5 to max to be 100%. Even though the game has a lot of in-game achievements with the new thieves’ den area introduced in Royal. ↩︎
