This season definitely has different vibes with the previous one. It feels more of a game show rather than healing trip like in the third season. There are more EXO members joining after they finished their military duty. The games and ladders prepared by the staffs are also various and more complicated. However, this season feels lacking compared to the previous ones. It might have to do with the pacing for the survival game that feels a bit lacklustre. Or the ending of the overnight mission that does not feel balanced with the effort the members put and create disappointing ending for the audience. There are also less moments when the members are working together or simply being together yet we know from the previous episodes that those moments are the ones that make the show enjoyable.

Doesn't make it not worth watching though! It still fun to watch, just don't compare it to previous seasons.
