Man, playing this again as an adult was a lot less fun than it was when I was younger. Some bosses were still really fun, but a far larger chunk of my time was spent being in a really bad mood. I love this game's story and atmosphere, but actually playing the game is not fun the majority of the time for me. I think my mental health may have played a part in me not enjoying this quite as much though, I have been dealing with a herniated disc for 3 months and it's preventing me from doing a lot of things I enjoy, it's been really wearing at me, and I think a game that really tests your patience is not what I needed right now.

Get well! I am wondering if the remake plays better?

I was playing the Ico + SotC collection on PS3, I do want to play the PS4 version at some point too, though I wasn't big on how different the colors are in the PS4 version. Apparently, they just fixed the texture resolution bug that the PS4 version has on PS5 last week which makes that more appealing to me as I have a PS5 but no PS4.
