Obviously, I love this game and the entire series. I wanted to replay it after having finished the GOW Ragnarok DLC with its story callbacks. I tried playing through it without nostalgia lens, and I still found myself really enjoying this game. The Ares boss fight is great, enemies are unique and establishes so much in hindsight. That being said, it has not aged well in its artificial difficult, repetitive locations and simplistic story. It is still a fun time and I love this game, but having going back and playing it, I found myself struggling to hop on and finish it at times.
