Aliens, 1986: "I have a class-2 rating." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPMk-EEyOpE

They actually did, as part of DARPA's Warrior Web program [1]. They ultimately spun off the program to Ekso Bionics as a consequence of the Google acquisition back in 2014 [2].

Similarly I thought of Death Stranding :)

Though I guess exoskeletons are not uncommon in sci-fi.

Tried that game out, but found it to be realllllllllly tedious. eg initial missions took walking, while carrying some person's body over the shoulder, for "miles". Urk.

Did it get better after those early missions?

Reminds me of matrix as well
