Just Cause 3

Explosions enthusiast Rico Rodriguez is back, this time flying around his Mediterranean hometown of Medici to depose another dictator terrorizing the nation. In this third-person action game, you will play around a gigantic map, find every structure painted red, and blow them the **** up to kingdom come with better toys and unlimited C4. With the help of allies, Rico will free his nation from tyranny. PROS: ● There is no denying the majestic and serene beauty of the game, a massive ******* playground where pretty much everything (including every ******* tree) could be destroyed ● The perfection that is explosion effects and destruction physics to make Michael Bay wet his pants, being the series’ biggest selling point, like blowing up and destroying **** has never been so fun and satisfying ● Amazingly, debris from **** you blow up become separate physics objects that can kick your *** ● Rico’s traversal mechanics are immensely fun, responsive and satisfying, from the trusty and versatile grappling hook and the parachute-wingsuit combo, greatly improved for the massive ******* map ● Awesome, action movie-worthy soundtrack from a veteran in the movie scoring business ● Voice acting and animation are now thankfully tolerable, with actually pretty funny (and substantial) dialogue like those from the DJ guy making every excuse for every military base destroyed ● Easier access to weapons of mass destruction, such as the unlimited C4, is highly appreciated ● The versatile tether-capable grappling hook greatly adds more spice to the usual run-and-gun combat ● The challenges that grant gear upgrades are varied and pretty fun CONS: ● Just as in the last installments, the plot and its characters still are meh at best, forgettable at the least ● Main story missions are boring as **** with their generic objectives and short overall length, betraying the massive opportunities the game’s systems allow Rico to do, like town liberations are literally ten times more enjoyable than these things ● Sadly, those town liberations get old pretty fast, with the immense number of towns and bases with practically zero variety ● For a game demanding quantum destruction, there sure are a pretty tiny number of weapons available ● Driving in this thing sucks with their dirt-poor handling and zero traction, spiraling out of ******* control with the tiniest pebble on the road ● The map is almost 80% empty swathes of just plain nothing ● That bullshit final boss battle
