    I enjoy playing this game. The new wingsuit feature is super cool. Gliding around the island is always fun. The grappling hook is more enhanced than that of JC2, which is also a good thing. It really do give players a lot of options. Explosion are of course fun to watch, even though it may grow tiring sometimes.
    However, I am very disappointed about the game's setting. While it has

    However, I am very disappointed about the game's setting. While it has captured it well, it feels a bit bland. Most of them look the same and do not have enough variation (especially when JC2 has mountains, cities, tropical forests and deserts combined together in one map). Rico looks ugly in this game, which sometimes breaks immersion. The plot is ok, like all other JC games. There are some technical issues here and there, but overall it is a game that I find fun to play. Definitely expecting a multiplayer mode from it given how good the JC multiplayer mod is, but there isn't one here, so I'd consider it a missed opportunity. Modders will get to create one someday eventually.

    No FOV control. I was puking after 60 minutes. Asked for a Steam refund. The game also crashed to desktop once in that time. Too bad. I was really looking forward to playing it.

    This isn't the best open-world game, but it's a blast. [Jan 2016, p.62]

    It boasts some great improvements over the previous game of the series, but does not evolve the formula in any significant way. It looks better and lets you glide in a wingsuit, but its scale is not surprising anymore. It lets you unleash wonderful chaos in unscripted skirmishes, but its story missions fail to enrich the experience. All the same it is my kind of game. I love playing with its systems, I appreciate the effort put into JC3 and I return to Medici from time to time for condensed doses of havoc. [01/2016, p.48]

    Just Cause 3 is a monument to excess. It’s Hot Shots. It’s Charlie Chaplin in The Dictator, if Charlie Chaplin had rocket-powered C4 in his boots. It’s that scene in Dr. Strangelove where Slim Pickens rides the nuke into Russia, except...well, no, it’s pretty much exactly that scene on repeat for 25-30 hours.
