Just Cause 4 is nothing Important. It just uses the same elements from the previous games; big explosions, weird gadgets, fast-paced gameplay and you know better. There is nothing really new and this is Deja vu all over again.

An 80s action movie in videogame form, some poor design choices don't stop this being a great sandbox to play in.

If you don't really care about the story and repetition doesn't bore you, then you'll love the action and enjoy your time with wingsuit, parachute and grappling hook trio.

Just Cause 4 provides fun moments of thrilling chaos and destruction, but the game suffers from a repetition that can not be overlooked in the way tasks are performed and provides a superficial story with predictable events. Although the size of the destruction is limited compared to the third part, Along with the ability to navigate the virtual world quickly and smoothly

Just Cause 4 offers almost nothing new compared to the previous games in the series, but it still has the chaotic gameplay and exaggerated action of Just Cause which makes it fun to play.

Just Cause 4 is an unnecessary sequel. The creators had the means to create a massive game, one that'd succsed by any means but in the end, Just Cause 4 does not meet the requirements for a standard AAA and is nowhere near it's true potential. If you're planning to buy it then I'd recommend you wait for an offer cause  you're going to experience a lot of flaws tagging along with a really bad performance.

In many occasions we usually consider that good results are achieved by adding; bigger, more impactful, more showy, more noisy. However, at no time and under any circumstances is it assured that this is so and in Just Cause 4 this results in its greatest virtue and its greatest weakness. We have a huge open world, but with a mission design exploited to exhaustion for more than 10 years by countless titles. We have a freedom of action that allow us to overcome the enemy, but without defined limits that allow us to overcome even the game itself. Despite the improvements and implementations of this fourth installment, the final result tells us that it is not more, nor less than its predecessor and that, without a doubt, was an untapped opportunity. Even so, Just Cause 4 does not represent a setback or a bad delivery in the terms of the franchise and if you are a fan of the adventures of Rico Rodriguez, you will not be disappointed after making the revolution succeed in Solis.

Just Cause 4 is neither a revolution nor a weak entry in the series, but it is actually the most complete Just Cause title yet. JC4 gathers everything positive from the previous games, adds some other things on top of that, and despite a repetitive gameplay and some story telling issues, still manages to at least satisfy the fans of the series.

Another Just Cause game with a couple of meaningless additions, which didn't fix almost any issues of Just Cause 3.

Avalanche Studios has brought novelties, such as the huge amount of easter eggs and weather conditions, making the game fun, but it's full of mobility issues, and textures that don't match. Not to mention the story and extremely repetitive missions, that make the game interesting just by having an extensive map and abundant jokes.

Just Cause 4 is by far the best and most complete game in the series. Improved graphics, vast world and new gears, are all helping to deliver an amazing and enjoyable experience. On the other hand, Just Cause 4 suffers from numerous technical issues, Lack of creativity in level design, shallow story and incomplete gun-play. Still If you are fan of the series and pure action in video games, Just Cause 4 is one of those games that delivers a simple, enjoyable gameplay with many ways to create pure action and explode your mind!

Just Cause 4 shows that you don't need a story to provide an entertaining gameplay, but the lack of activities in a massive open world is also its biggest fault. Giving the players an open playground with tools of destruction is basically the selling point of this game.

Just Cause 4 is an easy-to-play sandbox of chaos with a sprinkling of extreme weather. It holds strong due to an improved grapple and varied tools, and while this explosive sequel won't set the world on fire, you can blow up enough things to make it interesting.

Still, I have hope for the franchise, and I'm sure that it's going to be turned around at some point. Until then, we're left with some mindless fun, and that's about it.

The longer you play through it though, the more you’ll start to notice its cracks. The repetitive mission structure, bugs/glitches, and the lack of those fun weather moments during non-main campaign tasks are sadly noticeable. Just Cause 4 is a bit shoddy in some areas and is one of those releases whose fun factor depletes over time. It still provides a slew of entertaining moments, but not enough interesting takes on the types of themes that are starting to feel a bit played out.

For fans of the series, Just Cause 4 ends up being one of those virtually critic-proof titles. The story is forgettable, and the repetitive mission types can feel like a chore. With that said, the chaos that all of your tools can cause creates a type of destructive madness that few other games can replicate, and the fun springing from that anarchy is undeniable. It isn't a masterpiece by any means, and it could certainly stand to be improved in the area of graphical presentation, but the moment you get your hands on the game, you might not care so long as there's something you can blow up.

Just Cause 4 is a fantastic playground of chaos, giving players the tools and creative options to sow seeds of complete mayhem. It's only when you step away from that mayhem, following the path of the campaign put ahead of you, that you'll find repetition, lack of character, and a disappointing open world.

Just Cause 4 introduced some interesting new features that made the gameplay more fun and creative but at the expense of other stuff. It's an experience that you will enjoy but a one that you will forget the moment you drop your controller for the last time.

While it still presents the same over the top action experience from the last instalment, Just Cause 4 fails to impress with its general look and the new extreme weather and grappling hook attachments which were interesting but underused.
