Fair enough. Nostalgia is definitely a huge part of why I love the Halo so much. I still think I’d like them if I tried them today for the first time, but my history playing the game for so long definitely improves my opinion on it for sure. I’m glad people like you are still able to enjoy the game without the decades of nostalgia for the series to sway you. The early games are fantastic.

The fact these games hold up as well as they do is a testament to their quality. There's plenty of even newer titles which can't boast about similar results.

Also, I'm a bit "specific" (well... weird) in terms of what does or doesn't gel with me and I often tend to prefer less popular or worse options. Going back to hugely successful titles can be a rather unique experience for me - every game is a surprise in that way, I guess.
