I don't remember GoW on PS2/3 being metroidvania, you didn't really do a lot of backtracking and unlocking areas in the same location with new powers. For me they were much more of a "adventure game" or even corridor or sequential phase hack and slash.

It was a mix of both straight forward linear action and backtracking. You would come back to areas and access things you couldn't before with new abilities.

I remember just minimal backtrack in the same area, not like soul reaver that you have to completely return to areas you had finished long before. But no problem I do agree it was open area before and isn't true open world now, although I like the balance on GoW that gives you freedom to move and choose but also a streamlined experience with well wooven story telling.
