Exodus’ Greatest Weakness Means Mass Effect 5 Needs to Strike While the Iron is Hot

The Mass Effect series doesn’t reinvent the space opera genre with flashy surprises; it simply excels at the fundamentals. It explores complex themes and dives deep into the possibilities of galactic civilization, offering a thought-provoking and engaging experience. There’s anticipation that Exodus will deliver a similar impactful story, but the recent trailer at the Game Awards left some sci-fi fans feeling it might be a bit too familiar. While Exodus has a well-developed and intricate backstory, and it’s unfair to label it entirely generic, some elements feel underwhelming, particularly when compared to other ambitious sci-fi games.
