Just Cause 3

Just Cause 3 is an action-adventure game developed by Avalanche Studios and published by Square Enix Europe.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) An interesting concept where Rico Rodriguez returns to the region of Medici (which he lived at as a child) to find out the region's leader, General Di Ravello, has devious intentions with the powerful material called Bavarium and was personally involved in the death of Rico's family. To overthrow his regime, Rico allies himself with the local rebels led by his friend Mario.
 * 2) Rico is still a funny, compelling, and awesome protagonist.
 * 3) A pretty long 25 hours of gameplay on average for the main missions.
 * 4) The A.I is quite decent for a Just Cause game. An example is tanks often being sent if you accumulate a high heat level while you're on the ground, or helicopters being sent while having a high heat level in the air, sometimes even both on ground.
 * 5) Good downloadable content, such as mech land assault or bavarium sea heist.
 * 6) Di Ravello is well utilized and funny at times, making him a fitting antagonist for a Just Cause game. There are also some nice deuteragonists like Tom Sheldon, Annika, or Looch.
 * 7) Over 80 vehicles to use. The vehicles are also very creative, like the Imperator Bavarium Tank or the Reaper Missile Mech.
 * 8) Lots of stuff to do if you're bored, like destroying a bridge and waiting for a train or getting a high heat level on purpose.
 * 9) Rico has a grappling hook, a parachute, and a wingsuit to use.
 * 10) Chaos points are quite interesting. A concept where you get in game points by destroying government property such as vehicles and liberating settlements and bases, though chaos points don't actually do anything other than give you trophies.
 * 11) There is an online mode where you can compete against other players for unique challenges involving random stuff, like the longest time using your wingsuit.
 * 12) Rico can carry 4 weapons.
 * 13) Medici is a beautiful area which is also decent in size.
 * 14) 3 types of weapons, which are two handed weapons, special weapons, and duel wield weapons.
 * 15) Lots of replay value, mostly doing stunts with vehicles and Rico's wingsuit.
 * 16) Excellent soundtrack, such as themes that play when you are high up in the air.
 * 17) In itself, the game is pretty difficult, but not unfairly difficult, just enough to make it more fun.
 * 18) Excellent ending where Rico finishes Di Ravello in an epic duel.
 * 19) Great voice acting.
 * 20) you can earn "Gears" from challenges, of which you can earn no gears if you do poorly, 5 gears if you do very well. Gears can unlock "Gear mods" depending on the type of challenge you did, for example do a challenge where you fly a plane and get gears that help with a plane such as air nitrous.
 * 21) Hilarious and creative dialogue such as Di Ravello's "If my reign started in flames, Rico Rodriguez, then it will end in flames" and Rico screaming "F#$% YOU, MISSILE!" during the "Missile Cowboy" mission.
 * 22) It has some funny easter eggs like the DK pistol (Seemingly a reference to GoldenEye 007's DK mode easter egg) and a cool throwback to Just Cause 2.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The PC version has frame rate drops and sometimes even crashes frequently, likely due to weak specs and hardware. The versions for PS4 and Xbox One, be it digital or disc, can also have some bad frame rate issues.
 * 2) The A.I, while somewhat decent, sometimes has problems, like being unresponsive and also sometimes not even doing anything at all.
 * 3) You can't replay a main mission, only challenges like stunts.
 * 4) Despite the ending being good, Di Ravello's helicopter is extremely easy to destroy and there are countless methods ending the fight in seconds.
 * 5) There's some pretty bad difficulty spikes, and we mean that by a couple settlements being ridiculously difficult to the point it isn't fun.
