    Repetitive gameplay gets boring overtime. Lack of things to do in this massive open world also makes you stop playing this game

    I started playing the Reloaded edition of this game because it was released as part of my Game Pass subscription. The fun factor is MASSIVE, the graphics are decent at maximum settings, the PC port is poor.

The fun factor is MASSIVE, the graphics are decent at maximum settings, the PC port is poor.

    PROS:
    + South American Tom Cruise simulator!
    + Endless fun with the Grappling Hook that ties any two objects together
    + You can tie an enemy to a fuel tank, retract the connection with high force, and watch the enemy die in a blaze of fire
    + Constant ground and aerial skirmishes are happening between the friendly and enemy faction, which you can take part or simply observe
    + Traverse the beautiful landscape by hitching a ride on the roof of a car, or flying over the mountains in your wingsuit
    + You're almost always airborne in your wingsuit
    + Very hectic action combat; it's not unusual to be attacked by over a dozen enemies at the same time
    + The tools at your disposal and the huge number of explosions really do make you feel like a South American Tom Cruise
    + GTA-like talk radio station

    CONS:
    - PC control scheme seems like it was done by an intern who had never turned on a computer in his life. You WILL struggle to navigate the menus.
    - Some menus appear offscreen on an ultrawide monitor, and therefore cannot be clicked unless you change resolution
    - Cutscenes are rendered at low-resolution
    - Enemy soldiers have no sense of self-preservation and will pellet your armored tank with their machine gun while standing in the middle of the road
    - Easy if you play smart. The game clearly wants you to be deep in the center of action and explosions

    I have not experienced any crashes or glaring graphical issues such as pop-in, though I am playing the Reloaded version of this game on a newly built gaming PC in November 2021. I do wish the PC controls for the menus weren't completely nonsensical, and I wish the AI at least TRIED to stay alive. But the game does make up for these shortcomings with a huge amount of sheer fun factor.

    Not worth full price. But definitely worth getting it for cheap or on Game Pass.    … Expand

    The variety was very small. I got the whole map in 6 hours: / and there was no variety at all, just repetitive work

    This feel like a weird, rushed DLC to Just Cause 3. Lot of the fun elements from previous game are missing and a tornado can't make it up. But I still had fun playing it.

    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 .

    I am playing JC4 from a month and its about to end. I played at 4K on my RTX 3080 Ti. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous (albeit some cutscenes are really bad thou). The wingsuit flying is brilliant (miss launching from standstill as in JC3). I am loving this game its so much fun. Its a must have if you get cheaper and have hardware to run it at 4K. Just play it and get done with it.

Hack this transmitter, defend this hacker, hack this hacker hack and do the hacking for the hacking hack. It's always hacking some base and than blowing **** up getting chased down by the bad guys and that over and over again its just not fun. the only fun thing is playing around with the grappling hook and just exploring the world because the world is actually very nice to play in and very beautiful. But other than that there is not much new in just cause 4 and the port from console to PC feels very unstable. I crashed at least 2 times in my playthrough with also major fps drops randomly.

    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 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.
