Agreed on all points.

As I said in my other comment, Exodus isn’t a bad game. It’s actually very enjoyable. It just didn’t feel like a METRO game.

The 2nd game did suffer from sequelitus. It was fun but the writing was not nearly as up to par with the first, and that lack of hook in the writing made the last half of the game drag cause you weren’t nearly as invested in what was going on half the time.
