    Just Cause 4 is worst open world game of all time. All they had were tornadoes, everything else was awful.

    Devs should fix their game instead of joining political flashmob. Closing purchases of your products for people of Belarus and Russia is antidemocratic and should be punished.

    Story : 4/10
    The story had a good start, but then it became like Mafia 3, which is just repetitive and nerve-wracking. Graphics : 8/10 The graphics of the previous version were better than I did not like the graphics. Musics : 5/10 During the fight, the sounds of the game were interrupted and the only reason he gave a score of 5 was the radio. Details : 6/10    My scores for this game

    Mechanisms were added but I did not need them. I finished the game with a few weapons, but you can have fun with them.

    The variety was very small. I got the whole map in 6 hours: / and there was no variety at all, just repetitive work
    Characterization : 7/10
    Rico did not look good in this part at all, I did not like the previous version was better.
    Optimization : 4/10
    It was not optimized at all and sometimes it crashed.
    Bugs : I saw a lot of bugs. But funny bugs

    Summer 2019 patch broke the game entirely
    No minimap
    Disastrous UI interface

    Originally back in 2018 the game had a lot of issues, including severe performance issues but for me the game was at least playable until a patch literally broke the game entirely making it unplayable and I stopped playing even though I was about 30 hours into the game, I was having fun and it wasn't too bad, so I decided to go back and see if they fixed all the problems today 12/9/2021...

    That was a big mistake, the game now is an unplayable mess! Sure they fixed the performance issues but now, the gameplay is a dire mess. Now, you shoot one soldier and get the attention of the enemy who will respond with overwhelming force, imagine Just Cause "heat system" but now shooting one soldier immediately sents you into Heat 10 with constant attacks from tanks, attack helicopters, attack planes and it never ends, this was caused by a really really dumb patch in the Summer of 2019 apparently, this heavily breaks the game so much its not fun at all.

    Ragdoll effect kills you, because of the overwhelming amount of enemies after you...you get ragdolld and lose control over your character, everything can freely target you and 9 out of 10 times you'll die without having any chance, same goes for hijacking animations especially on helicopters which take too long and by the time you have taken over the vehicle its already been destroyed by planes and other helicopters that spawn right behind you, they removed the minimap so the player can't see the 50,000 enemies spawning behind you.

    The terrible spawning system is extremely archaic and employs the out of sight spawning trick, and sometimes if you move the camera fast enough you can literally see enemies pop out of thin air, its pathetic and the destroys any realism, plus the accuracy all the enemies have is way too high and rarely miss unless you do completely random movements flying on your wingsuit.

    Vehicle control, especially helicopters is still janky and so much worse then previous games, gunplay is okay but removing so many old favorites like c4, pistols and dual wielding was a bad idea.

    This game started out life as being quite playable and now, its a wreck and entirely unplayable unless you can somehow roll back to earlier patches...but then you'll have severe performance issues.    … Expand

    Unsolved problem with saving of the game (nothing halped) , and soft lock because I cant pass mission where you need to loadout a hook with booster , because game menu was ported from console sooooo bad (first time I figured after 5 mins how to loadout hook with baloon but gave up after 10 mins with booster) . P.S. This port from console is even worser than Nioh's of Dark Souls port .

    Just Cause 4 might be one of the biggest disappointments in gaming. Literally. I personally never cared about Cyberpunk 2077 anyway, so that one didn't mean much to me. But i was actually hoping that Just Cause 4 will be decent, because 3 was fun enough. sadly, other than tornadoes, there's basically nothing else.

    The entire look of this game is sloppy, with many obvious flaws and poorly designed effects. The game play controls are everywhere, and come off as nonsensicle. Closing the map is the number 1, for instance. Why would you randomly choose the number 1 on your keyboard to close the map?

The game play controls are everywhere, and come off as nonsensicle. Closing the map is the number 1, for instance. Why would you randomly choose the number 1 on your keyboard to close the map? You would have never known this game was made by a major gaming company, as it feels and looks more like a low budget indie game that was never completed.

    The character control is off-putting, with uneven movement. The aiming and viewing with your mouse moves in an uneven as well as sluggish presentation. When you use your grappling hook, you feel a lack of control compared to previous games. The aiming is not precise, and you will sometimes be hitting above, below, left or right of your cursor (center). The parachute and glider seems to be well executed, but everything else is completely unrefined and sloppy is the best way I can describe it. This game is a devastatingly sloppy mess.

    motion and animations show horrible collision issues, while the collision of surfaces in this game dwindle any possible realism out the window completely. Bump a barrel and it could tip over or fly several hundred feet. The same in bumping a large blown up vehicle. The cinematics look horrendous and unfinished, showing that there was no effort in presentation.

    After just recently finishing Just Cause 2 and Just Cause 3, I am sure it was a completely different group of people who made Just Cause 4, as this is so poorly made. This game does not even come close to the level of the previous games in even the quality of game play, smoothness of controls, collision and animation.

    The voice acting shows a lack of feeling, almost like just going through the motions. There is an obvious divide in some of the lines, where it is almost an awkward pause. The script seems to have been read disjointed, leaving little for the voice actors to work together in building the immersion to the situation by sound. The level of emotion in the characters voices is the same, regardless if they are in a life and death combat situation or just sitting and chatting in a calm environment.

    The game performance has stuttering, which makes no sense. The game will perform fine for a time, then it will randomly stutter, then work fine once again. The very first mission with Louis is a complete fiasco. The truck for some reason keeps exploding for no reason. I tried reattempting, and it seems to be unavoidable. Being this is a story mission in the very early game, this is a clear game breaking bug.

    In short, this game should be considered an embarrassment to a company at this level for published such a mess, and I am surprised that it has remained such a mess after this long, unless they just cut their losses and moved on. This game is not worth playing in its current state, and is among the worst games I have ever played from a major gaming company. I would expect a game this poorly made on the level of a failed indie game that was never finished.

    After playing the game for another twelve plus hours, I dislike the game even more. The controls on the flying wing suit are not as good as Just Cause 3. The random vegetation gets in the way with the challenges, which are lackluster. The story is abysmal and filled with politically correct references, instead of anything meaningful. The game characters essentially berates Rico, while then treating him like a boy toy for a loud mouth annoying character that cheapens any value of the Rico and his missions. The writers clearly had an agenda and gave it more importance than making a good game. I will not be investing in Just Cause 5, as I find this to be a sign of a company losing the plot and not trustworthy for quality products.    … Expand

    This is a broken game. At first, the game was not saved (license). Later there were constant crashes, only in this piece ... of the game. Very bad graphics, but like a sandbox, the game is addictive and bored very quickly. It works badly on the pc. I do not recommend playing.

    This game should receive a couple of rewards:

    Worst UI ever;
    The highest amount of bugs per second you can observe just by standing still, you don't ever need to move;
    Worst level and missions design ever;
    Worst controls ever;
    Least amount of actually working mechanics (can't go lower than zero I guess);

    The ending serves as a bridge to a possible 5th installment, but it’s going to be just as bad unless the developers reinvent the series. The "entertain yourself" approach to the open world ran out of steam a long time ago, campaign missions are going downhill fast, and the amount of bugs has skyrocketed.

    When designing a new game in a long-running franchise, the developers face a fundamental question: go with the tried-and-true or risk trying something new? In this case the former approach was chosen and it was the right decision, because JC4 is as enjoyable as its predecessors. It has some obvious flaws (e.g. uneven visuals and some repetitive mission types) but they are easily outweighed by incredibly fun gameplay. It is simply a well-made, thrilling open world game.
