Just Cause 4 Reviews
There's no denying that Just Cause 4 is a disappointing game with its generic gameplay and embarrassing graphics.
Taking more of a narrative approach while not really offering all that much narrative but definitely adding a little more marvel in the form of cataclysmic weather events as the major antagonist, Just Cause 4 is a shade more than just another Just Cause game. The major gameplay loop of orchestrating chaos remains true to the series but it is meted out just a bit more slowly while unlocking the goodies to perform your opus just a bit more freely. The real shine of the game comes from just whipping about the game world transitioning between grappling, wing suiting, parachuting, carjacking, plane-jacking, and inviting the player to turn the entire island into their own X-games playground on steroids.
Recommending Just Cause 4 to both old fans of the series and new players is a hard task. if you are a fan of this series you might be easily disappointed because the game hasn't changed much compared to the previous games. and if you're new to the series, you might fell in the trap to compare it to other open world games out there and therefore not enjoy it much. there are many issues in the basis of its gameplay that can't be resolved even with huge updates.

A new entry in the Just Cause saga spells hours of fun for gamers if not anything really new for fans of the series.
Just Cause 4 has some cool ideas and nifty gameplay mechanics that are completely undercut but its own poor mission structure and game design.
Just Cause 4 suffers from having little to no meat on its bones and a very poor graphical presentation. The complete freedom of movement is exhilarating but ultimately not enough to keep your attention for more than a couple sessions.
Just Cause 4 more often than not feels like an average open world third person shooter than it does the explosion filled bonanza that it should be.
Just Cause 4 may be a maniacal sandbox full of explosions and action, but it's a world that feels dull, repetitive and hollow inside as it missed the mark on being the perfect vehicle for some much-needed Christmas Catharsis.
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.

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.

At times Just Cause 4 excels at being a playground for destruction, a welcome bit of silly entertainment that lets you ride on top of a car over the edge of a cliff before jumping off, opening your chute, pulling out a rocket launcher and raining down hell.
Just Cause 4 is not a better game than its predecessor. In many ways, it feels like the same game, just with a new continent to explore. For some, this may be all they ever wanted, but for the rest of us, it's just not enough. The formula starts to show itself early and can feel monotonous only a few hours in. There will always be joy in the mass destruction of the Just Cause 4 games, but the games seem to rely more and more on "making your own fun" instead of pushing the player into exciting and unique scenarios via the mission structure and overall game design.
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.

Avalanche Studios clearly tried doing something different with the Just Cause series and added some new flavor to Just Cause 4. It’s a shame none of the additions really fit or handled properly. The story wasn’t well told, gameplay gravitated away from proper destruction, and just things that make the title look like it’s from 2008. If Just Cause 4 is like this because the developers are running out of ideas, it might be best to retire the series and move on to something else.
Great destruction in massive world, but also bad UI, simple and repetitive missions and graphical issues.

Just Cause 4 is a success at the same things that made great the third game, but a failure when tries to improve its narrative, variety o polish. Finally a fun game in short bursts but not much else.
