    Sky Fortress cranks up Just Cause 3’s bombastic effects more, if that were even possible. The addition of the jetpack wingsuit and Bavarium rifle make a video game-y video game even gamier. They change up the game enough—and in enough good ways—that I wouldn’t want to give back the new toys.

    The Jetpack does add a boost to the gameplay, and you do feel badass swooping around as Rico, but the overall experience does feel a tad too short – as soon as you begin to get into the game it is over, and this does feel like a real shame.

    A couple of new items, three missions and four new locations which won't take much more than a couple of hours to finish, but if you're looking for an excuse to return to Medici, this is it.

    It may be hard to justify the price of this DLC if you're not a committed fan, though, but keep in mind that Sky Fortress really does make Just Cause 3 that much better.

    Just Cause 3: Sky Fortress is like an explosion: brief and kind of awesome. Not very substantial, but on the other hand: jetpacks.

    Stiff, Awkward, and Lazy
    Sky Fortress is the first expansion for just cause 3...
    It starts out pretty awesome,
    you get a jet pack attached to your wing suit
    this essentially turns rico into an air craft at any moment and this jet pack carries over to the main game...
    this is really the only positive here though
    sky fortress takes place on a sky fortress.. a single air ship in the sky and consist of 3 story missions, 4 required sections to liberate on land and in air as well as 4 new challenges to unlock mods for your new jet pack wing suit
    unfortunately all of this is pretty lame…
    This aliens trying to mine the earth for materials story is told with cool comic style stills, but considering the rest of the game has fully animated and 3d cut scenes.. This seemed pretty lazy and rushed….
    As did the story missions themselves…
    they of course put a massive emphasis on the wingsuit mod, but unfortunately the wingsuit is pretty awkward to control...
    it isn’t agile enough to satisfyingly shoot things down with the mounted guns and missiles
    you’ll find yourself doing large circles frustratingly trying to line your shoulders up with your target and even then your crosshairs are somewhere off on the side of the screen where they shouldn’t be causing me to have to revert to my hook and guns…
    Sky fortress is more frustrating than fun
    if you can live without a jet pack, there’s no reason to play this 2 hour expansion
    I give Just Cause 3: Sky Fortress a

    We are introduced to a new jetpack feature that is frankly fun and entertaining. The story at least makes some sense.

    The only DLC for this game that deserves a rating in the yellow numbers.
