Hi guys! Today I will talk about Just Cause 3. As always, the review will have four parts, firstly I will talk about the storyline, then about the gameplay, afterward, I will talk about the visuals and finally, I will tell you my personal thoughts and give you a rating for the game from 0-10 (10 being the best).

Storyline
The story of this game isn’t something special, meaning that it’s there but you don’t really care about it.
Gameplay
Just Cause 3 takes place in Medici, an island that has been taken over by a dictator and your job is to liberate this island. You play as Rico and you have many weapons and gadgets at your disposal.
The tools that you will use to traverse the world are a grappling hook, a parachute, and a wingsuit. Using these tools has a real skill to it. It will take some time to get used to these tools but when you succeed it will be fun and rewarding to use them.
There are many mini-challenges in this game that are associated with these tools. For example, there is a challenge about how far can you climb while using your parachute or how far you can go using your wingsuit.
The game shows when you surpassed another player’s record and when another player has surpassed your record. This makes for a fun challenge for those of you that want to be the best.
There are also a variety of vehicles and weapons that you can unlock by liberating bases. The map of the game is huge and there are a lot of bases and towns that you have to liberate but the problem is that this process becomes repetitive after a while and it really takes the fun out of it.
I guess it depends on what do you want out of the game. If you want to play this game just to finish it and add it to the list of games that you finished then it really becomes boring after a while.
If, on the other hand, you want to do crazy stunts and push the limits of what you can do in this game then each base that you liberate is a test of what you can do in the game and you won’t get bored.
I personally found the game repetitive and I finished it because I don’t like to leave games that I play unfinished.
Now let’s talk about the enemies that you will fight in this game. The enemies that you will fight aren’t the brightest people, in fact, they are pretty stupid and useless, most of them at least.
The threat that they pose comes from their numbers. They spawn fast and they can overwhelm you if you let them. Rico has to take a lot of hits to die and regenerates health when he is out of combat so when you see you are close to death, you can retreat and regenerate your health.
Visuals
The graphics of this game are pretty average even for the time of its release. The island looks good but it’s nothing special. You can’t really change Rico’s appearance so you are stuck with his starting appearance. I don’t really have anything more to say about the graphics and the general appearance of this game. It is ok for what it is.

Final Thoughts
Just Cause 3 is a good game but nothing more than that. It isn’t a game that has any replayability, at least for me and when you finish all the missions and DLC you will probably forget about it.
It’s a good game if you don’t have anything else to play and you are looking for something to pass the time. The graphics as I said aren’t something special and how good you find the gameplay depends on what you are looking for in a game.
The game doesn’t offer a real challenge except the mini-challenges where you compete against other players to see who is the best in a specific thing in the game.
For me, this game is worth buying only if it is on an extreme sale like 5$. I bought it at that price and for 5$ I believe it is worth to buy it. I know it looks like I am bashing the game, but it really isn’t the case. I am just saying what I feel about the game even if it sounds like I am bashing on it.
Final Verdict
Storyline: 7.4
Gameplay: 7.4
Visuals: 7.0
General Rating: 7.2
