I'm a lot more critical as a person which then effects the way I think about games. I have the nostalgia factor but generally don't let that get in the way. When I was younger I didn't quite understand what a game/form of media was saying or the deeper connections it made to the audience but then when you get older and smarter, you appreciate what they were saying.
Example being:
The Matrix, Majoras Mask, Cowboy Bebop and a few others. Never understood them when I was younger, but rewatching/playing them now makes you appreciate what really went into them. It's a different case with games like Sonic Adventure which was awesome back then(2003) but is incredibly bad by todays standard or has aged terribly(no nostalgia allowed).
I thought Majoras Mask was a fun game until you look at the finer details of that as opposed to the entire series.
I guess I look at mostly everything objectively now which has affected my thoughts on gaming.
