I like this franchise. But just cause 4 in it’s current state is unplayable on most consoles. The game is buggy beyond belief and I had to stop playing as the graphics made me hurl. Not everyone has these issues, but it seems like most consle players, especially those with higher end consoles for some reason are experiencing low resolutions and horible textures. This game runs at 720p on a PS4 Pro. The cutscene look atrocious across the board though, but on pc the game has much better graphics.

    In terms of gameplay, it feels like it has removed a lot of what made just cause 3 and 2 so fun. There is no liberating bases any more. That’s right. You are given little motivation to blow stuff up in a just cause game. Each region requires one crap mission to take it over, useally defending a terminal and that’s it. While the new weather is cool, other than the tornado it feels underused. The guns don’t feel as impactful as just cause 3 same with the teather. Everything feels to light. The driving is improved somewhat, but the lack of any options to change controls for anything is annoying. The explosions look cool, but until they patch it on consoles I would avoid it.
    Also the AI is awful, running off cliffs and crashing into each other for example. Honestly a massive disappointment. The only real positives are that the map is Niven and diverse, and the balloons are a fun inclusion. That doesn’t make up for the fact you are given nothing interesting to do in the map however. The game can be fun, but not until they fix it. Avoid until patched, and even then, expect something worse than previous entries.    … Expand

    Game looks really bad on based ps4. Blurry and short distance visibility . Aliasing and masive on objects . Ghost recon wild midlands similar game over 2 years old looks much better
    At the moment this game is waste money
    Maybe after will be better ...

    The game is in early access state. My advice is wait to buy this one - wish I did. My sense is they needed to sacrifice graphics quality substantially to support the physics and framerate. Graphics-wise, I was expecting a Ghost Recon Wildlands quality world - not even close. As for story/missions, so far seems to be very weak. Game needs another 6-12 months of development.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's bad, the explosions look worse, the missions are boring and repetitive (even more than the third), the new squad system is terrible, half the vehicles are re-used from Just Cause 3, the villains are both lame (Espinosa and Gabriella), whereas the third bothered with a paragraph of description for each location to have a bit of lore and fun this one at best bothers with two sentences, aiming feels horrible and they somehow managed to make the vehicles even less drivable as now I can't roll for one kilometer without crashing and if I try to turn I end drifting like a maniac. They also added two things I hated about the third: time limits which are infuriating and having to spend ten seconds hacking in the middle of a battlefield with grenades, snipers and soldiers everywhere. And lastly the AI is braindead and during a certain mission Luis will just drive off a bridge instead of forward and because of that I cannot finish this mission. Oh at the time of writing this I found something else, in Just Cause 3 you could bring a vehicle to a garage to unlock it well now you have to move into these terrible regions to get a specific vehicle which means if it's at the other end of the map well you're in for a while. Oh wait it gets worse: they took out one of my favorite aspects of Just Cause 3, bridge destructibility, I have played the game for three days straight and I haven't found a single bridge I could destroy and there are these stupid challenges where you have to go through a ring with a vehicle that is in front of you, just why? And I love how they tried having diversity with a few biomes but even in each of these biomes every town looks the same (even more than Just Cause 3), every town I found in the desert was literally the same. They also promoted the tornado in the trailers but it is really rare and I have only found it once and it lasted for two minutes. As for Oscar Espinosa's death scene here was my reaction: What a lame ending... His plane just explodes? That's it? I thought he would fall off a cliff or something. Another kick in the balls by this awful game. Hitman 2's graphics and story were a downgrade but at least IO tried and I can respect them for it, Square Enix however just said it's Just Cause, people will buy it and shipped a broken product. Also IO got dumped by Square Enix so I can understand whereas here Square Enix is big enough to make a good game regardless.… Expand

    It took me a while to get into JC2 but ended up loving it. Was eager for the follow up and wasn't disappointed by JC3 as it improved the previous installment in every way. So I had been looking forward to this forth installment since I heard about it. However I was so disappointed after playing and ended up making notes of my thoughts as I played through:

So I had been looking forward to this forth installment since I heard about it. However I was so disappointed after playing and ended up making notes of my thoughts as I played through:

    The Opening
    -------------------
    JC3 - Lovely cinematic movie introducing the main characters. Riding on the back of a plane with a rocket launcher; over the top and fun (what you expect)
    JC4 - Gentle walk through some snow (seriously?)

    Weapons
    -------------
    JC4 - Removed the C4 and Grenades and replaced with a terrible 2 gun swap system & upgrades to the grapple; possibly okay if you're just going around aimlessly to have fun, but useless and not really required during the game. It's also complicated to switch between and remember what each one does during play. Also due to the stupid weapons system you end up constantly looking around for damn ammunition

    Map
    -------
    JC3 - Full of villages/different military base types/collectibles/etc.
    JC4 - One big Black Hand base per area and very little else

    Game Progress & Design
    -------------------------------------
    JC3 - Liberating lots of smaller locations; each with items that needed to be located and destroyed; fun and gave you a sense of progress & accomplishment
    JC4 - Nothing; technically majority of the missions can be completed without blowing stuff up and just activating a few consoles; as no real record of progress for destroying stuff it feels very flat and pointless. When you do go to destroy something half the time it seems to be surrounded by those on your own side, which again makes it feel flat and pointless in doing so

    JC3 - Lots of extra tasks to complete; i.e. collecting audio tapes that built on the background story, points on the map to find. Those I didn't much like (the wing-suit and flying challenges) could be skipped as there was so much else to do and these weren't an integral part of the game (although the ground races were fun)
    JC4 - Nothing much to do on the map (apart from the main bases) and some stupid 'making a film' set off side tasks that mirror the wing-suit and flying challenges.

    JC3 - With the garage mechanic you had a reason to explore the map for new vehicles and take them to the garage; again a sense of progress and discovery / collection
    JC4 - Absolutely no reason to go looking for cars as no real challenge relating to them (apart from needing specific vehicles for the Movie sub-plot, all of which seem to be sitting conveniently next to the task). Might as well order up a helicopter or use the wing suit to get around. No real incentive to explore the ground / main map areas

    JC3 - Well designed map and game interface
    JC4 - Atrocious mix of menus and key presses were constantly going into the wrong menu section and even when in them just seemed thrown together and generally an ill thoughtout mess

    Longevity
    --------------
    JC3 - Even after completing the main story-line I still wanted to go back and finish the other elements, ie. find more of the vehicles, make sure all audiotapes and collectibles had been found. Eager to pay for and download the additional DLC packs for more fun
    JC4 - Struggled to keep playing after a couple of sessions as it felt like a massive downgrade on the gameplay and quite frankly f***ing lazy design

    Since making these notes I have downloaded and installed two patches and tried to go back to the game, but just leaves me cold and incredibly disappointed.    … Expand

The performance was way horrific since day one, eventually releasing a patch to amend the issues. And Just Cause 4...is pretty interesting when it comes to both gameplay and quality. I myself think that they did improve for performance but the aesthetic was so similar to the previous titles that it felt way too repetitive and outlandish.

    Stupid missions (including missions with a time counter), still bad shooting and transport physics, graphics have become a little worse than the JS3, and an absolutely stupid gameplay concept – collecting army.

I was first hyped for JC4 but after the first 5 minutes of gameplay this game turned out to be boring. They completely removed outposts now you just have to destroy random scattered around the map. One of the things that i hate most is that there is now a limited ammunition for vehicles now. So if you used all your tank's shells that's it! There is no resupplying and you just have to find a new one. And it sucks because not they only removed your pistol and mines, but they also removed rebel drops (I just started the game yesterday so i don't know if it will be a thing when you progress more). And now rico looks like an indian it's not just rico, all characters in this game are ugly. To conclude this, i got to say just cause 4 is more like a jc2 remaster than being a sequel. it's not the worst game ever, it's just not ok. JC3 is by far the best in the franchise.… Expand

The textures really are PS2 level, objects and lighting pop in and out, and the only way the open world looks pretty is from a great, great distance. Just Cause games are good for some fun, don't think about it action to unwind. I don't think anybody expects a Game of the Year here, but I did expect a 7-level experience. Buyer beware. Big regret.

    Just Cause 3 was great. It was all about destroying (Just Cause - damage!), freeing villages. Then also finding collectibles and getting new vehicles. So it really had a lot of content and basically something for every type of player.

    Now, Just Cause 4... let me go ahead and write: What shallow game you guys produced! Cinematics are poor and look like they haven't done much since    Just Cause 3 was great. It was all about destroying (Just Cause - damage!), freeing villages. Then also finding collectibles and getting new vehicles. So it really had a lot of content and basically something for every type of player.

    Now, Just Cause 4... let me go ahead and write: What shallow game you guys produced!

    Cinematics are poor and look like they haven't done much since JC3. Seriously. The game started with the cinematic intro and I thought: YIKES! - In a negative way of course.

    Now. Little Story introduction... You have to free the whole map from the evil suppressors. This hasn't changed. But now you have to build up chaos by destroying things (usually stuff that has red paint on them - Tanks, Antennas, Satellite dishes, generators) so people will join your cause. You need a certain amount of troops to free an area...

    The world feels empty even though there are people walking and driving around.
    Story mission and freeing areas basically are 3 kinds of missions:
    1. Go to X download something. Defend. - Go to Y download something. Defend. Etc.
    2. Go to X hit a button or start something then reach 6-8 other points in a certain amount of time.
    3. Destroy something.

    Side missions:
    1. Find and solve 5 tombs (was the only entertaining bit, so I could produce some guides from this lame game)
    2. Do some stunts with a vehicle or with your wing suit. (Most of the time the vehicle is nearby and you just have to go through a ring with it. Most of them are no challenge at all - the wing suit ones are a bit harder...
    3. Capture a car, drive to a destination to pick someone up, destroy the car by driving it down a cliff, bridge, etc.

    Conclusion:
    It wants to be a AAA or AA title and sell expensive. But this is not worth it. If you really want to play this (I regret buying it) wait for a year and get it cheap. This is really embarrassing and I hope - with an aching heart thinking about JC3 - this was the last of Just Cause. My fears are that Part 5 could even be worse!    … Expand

    I'm an all time Just Cause fan... And I must say I'm extremely disappointed with this game. By far worst game of the franchise. I bought it for base PS4. Graphics are the worst thing. Sometimes it literally seems a PS2 game. Water looks awful. FPS are also terrible. Gameplay changed a lot. Movement is slower. Grappling hook configurations are tedious.

Graphics are the worst thing. Sometimes it literally seems a PS2 game. Water looks awful. FPS are also terrible. Gameplay changed a lot. Movement is slower. Grappling hook configurations are tedious. And the way they changed settlements is just awful. Now you don't have to liberate anything in order to unlock new places. You just have to go and destroy random stuff around the map to get chaos and get troops to move around the map. About the story I can't say much for now. The way they did Sheldon reminds me when Game of Thrones changed the Daario Naharis actor with a completely different one... That's simply not Tom Sheldon. Played a few missions and they all were the same. I'm seriously thinking about returning this.… Expand

    It's nearly unbelievable how bad this game looks on a Playstation at release. Don't go by the promo materials, go find an actual stream on a playstation and be amazed at just how BAD this game looks.

    I wasn't expecting Arkham Knight levels of visuals but come on, it should at least look as good as the last game in the series, right? It's nowhere close.

    As a huge fan of the Just Cause games Just Cause 4 comes as a huge disappointment. There's a lot of potential but the numerous graphical glitches make is a completely unplayable. Hopefully the issues get addressed soon but in its current state it is one of the worst game releases of the year.

    Just Cause 4 is just another sandbox game that brings nothing new to the table. If you are looking for mindless destruction with a terrible story, this is a game for you. If you’re looking for something deeper, look elsewhere.

    If it continues like this, the series will die.

    A shallow yet occasionally thrilling sandbox that doubles down on explosively stupid antics. The campaign is too grindy for its own good, and Rico's looks are fading, but this B-tier open world can still charm. [Issue#158, p.78]
