15 Best Sandbox Missions of All Time

Volga – Metro Exodus

Following the Aurora’s departure from Moscow, Volga becomes available and really showcases the more open-ended level design of Metro Exodus. There’s more freedom to explore the landscape despite the oppressive cult present, completing optional objectives and finding collectibles in any order the player chooses. You still have main objectives to complete though and depending on the choices made (killing or sparing various individuals, rescuing prisoners etc), the chapter can either end with Duke being shot and the cult being hostile or in the Aurora being granted safe passage.
