Exodus was no joke one of the best open world games I've ever played, but as time went on, it became more and more closed-in, eventually culminating in a final level that is just like half the levels in 2033 and Last Light, but now feeling worse because of how amazing the rest of the game was. By that point, I couldn't muster any strenght to beat it, and after I've looked up the ending and my annoyances with the game have piled up, it was a death by a thousand paper-cuts situation. 4AGames are one of the most insanely passionate developers on Earth rn, and I respect their craft immensley, but Exodus ultimately fails to completely escape the shadow of the previous games in the series. A lot of problems of those games haven't really been fixed, but new great stuff was added, instead. And that's cool, but I just hope that their next game finds a way to break the mold completely and not be a half-step Exodus ended up becoming.
