God of War is probably the best game of this generation so far

Enemies do reappear as you back track but they end up being a higher level and very difficult to beat (on difficulty 3 anyway, or even balanced depending on you level) unless you are coming back later in the game. Experience isn't an issue in this game as long as you aren't trying to over level like a JRPG, in fact even after maxing out dozens of runics, all skills and what not I was bathing in surplus EXP from mid to late game, the level locking being the barrier and not the ammount of EXP. It's hack silver and mats you need to be weary of running out of. 

I just finished the game on Sunday, and I did a fair bit of exploration. It probably took me 50 or 60 hours to beat. I don't think the enemies respawn in this game. There are certain areas where enemies will reappear, but I think those places are manually scripted to re-appear there. Once killed a second time, they are gone for good. I never found a place where I could consistently grind, but nor would I have wanted to. By the end of the game I had a quarter million XP saved up and a half million hacksilver. Is XP good for anything besides skills and runic abilities?

Niflheim is the one place where enemies respawn constantly but like you said, there's not much reason to grind XP anyway.
