Terminator 2 is tonally almost completely different from 1. 1's soul is much more a horror movie, complete with a damsel in distress and a heavily uncanny villain. 2 had every chance to lean into that sense of unease, but really doesn't explore that uncomfortable emotion despite the T-1000 being much more threatening on paper.
I'll take your word for it; it has been a long time since I've watched either of them, so my memory of the tone is probably not on the money
