Playing again fourteen years later, and while still a very chill game, I'm too different to eighteen year old me to get what he did out of it back then.

The patter has aged poorly, and just grates. Quippy MCU dude in ancient Persia doing his wee jokes is just poison to me now after over a decade of getting blasted in the face with it.

This isn't a "SHIT GAME, I ABANDON THEE" thing. It's more like calmly putting it back in its case and sliding it onto the shelf while going "It's fine. I'm a different fella now".

Old me can still enjoy it. Good for him.
