Finishing my odyssey throughout a post fallout Russia, I busted my way through Exodus. It was a lot longer with a lot more going on. Some "open world" sections, though I'm hesitant to call it a full open world game when only parts of it are set in large areas. It seems more of a lure than anything else. Those sections were fine, but it is ultimately a linear game where you ride on a train with the rangers from the first two games (plus an extra DLC chapter with the American one), but it didn't suffer the same advancement issues the first one did.

If I had to review the whole series as one, I'd say they wanted to emulate Half Life, and got some of the way there. In the end, it made me want to read the books, which I have yet to do, but that's always a good sign. They ain't bad, and they ain't incredible, but I think we need more games based on books, because they always end up giving us worthwhile experiences.
