This was my first experience with the Just Cause franchise. I read a lot of reviews talking about the bugs and glitches, but I had very few problems. I truly enjoyed the game for its action, grapple hook/hover board, emphasis on solo/single player, relatively easy trophy list and variety of the 3 DLCs and ease of finding fun things to do. Avalanche and Square Enid did a great job. My one complaint is the long grind of the three trophies associated with stunt, vehicle and speed challenges. Dear Developers, with all due love and respect, If you exceed 100 challenges in three separate categories… for bronze trophies with a current completion of 0.4%, you might have gone overboard lol.

    Just Cause 4: This game is basically playing a Michael Bay movie. You are again Rico Rodriguez and honestly the story doesn’t matter I even skipped through it.

Other than that the main thing for this series is the explosions and oh my god they look so good basically everything you shoot explodes and it’s awesome, there are even helicopters that carry huge gas things I don’t know what there called then you can let it go jump out of the chopper and see both of the huge explosions happen at once and it’s awesome looking. Overall this is a great sequel to a game franchise that couldn’t have been more crazy and if this movie happens Michael Bay needs to direct it.… Expand

    Great game amazing physics and explosive action the story could have been better but in a just cause game that isn’t the main focus and the bases could have been less repetitive of mission but overall the open world action is nothing short of amazing

Again not as good as Just Cause 3, but a great game nevertheless, if you're going into this game for a smart story, deep characters, and a message, skip it, that isn't what Just Cause is, but if you know what Just Cause is as dumb fun action, play it you won't regret it. I don't know why everyone hates on this game, it does something new, and if it doesn't always stick, it's still something new, and isn't such a slap in the face to give it anything below a 6 out of them, great combat, exploration, and most of all big old explosions, that never cease to amaze.

I have been having a blast with the game! The graphics look amazing, whether it’s the draw distance, the water effects and water reflections, the different biomes or the lighting!
    I do miss seeing fish and coral in the water though :( i also love that Rico now has the ability to climb things with his hands!!! He couldn’t do that in previous games & you had to grapple & jump to climb stuff. I also really like that aiming weapons is now with L2 instead of R3, it just feels better to me. I do miss liberating bases & towns but have adjusted to the new system. I also miss c4!!! That was my main way of eliminating helicopters, grapple up, plant c4 & detonate as i was flying away!!! But I’ve adjusted to secondary fire on weapon as well, not like i have a choice! Anyway, i want to thank Avalanche, i love this game!!! I also really enjoyed Mad Max which i would LOVE to see a sequel for as well!!!! :)    … Expand

    Interesting story, perfect game. My only issue with it is Rico doesn't go where you want him to. He controls awfully, and sometimes it occasionally causes further issues when the enemies are practically one shot. Although, the story is great.

    I absolutely love this game. You can do a lot in this game, just using your gadgets on random cars is fun.
    But there is next to none story. Although the game in its core is a sandbox game and that’s why i love it. The game isn’t that buggy. And i don’t understand why it’s rating is so low.

Once you get used to the change in concept from JC2 & JC3 they actually made a really good game with a story that pulls you to the end! So much to do in different ways and I can't stop playing it.

The graphics are alright and the draw and frame rate is an issue but the rest of the game makes up for that short fall easily. If you can get it for cheap then this is a must buy if you like JC3. In this game the gun play and auto aim is awesome so it forces you to have great battles on the ground but great battles in the air as well. The epic action is still there and more..... enjoy and just give it a little time for the learning curve and the new concept of play. Enjoy!!! Hope we see JC5 and they make it the best one yet of the series.… Expand

It's not Ghost Recon Wildlands level but then, Wildlands was intending to be realistic. The grappling hook has always been a favorite of mine in the Just Cause series and it gets a lot of extras in this game. Going back to the graphics, the best takeaway is that the load times are nearly non-existent most likely thanks to the lower graphics than PS4 owners are used to seeing on their console. (Full disclosure: I only buy download games from the PlayStation Store not disc-based. Still, after cut scenes and after areas are cleared... it shows a load screen and the bar doesn't even begin to fill when it pops up with Rico ready to go again.) I gave it a 9 out of 10 with the only knock against it being its ok graphics. It's definitely worth playing though... a fun and massive game that doesn't take itself too seriously.… Expand

    Main story is great, with some twists and jokes.
    Game loading times between scenes and missions are several times faster than Just Cause 3.
    Side missions may seem a bit confusing at first, but the game navigates the player so cleverly between side and main missions that it comes as a seamless transition from side to main missions. Personal opinion about gear mods - glad they are removed    Main story is great, with some twists and jokes.

    Side missions may seem a bit confusing at first, but the game navigates the player so cleverly between side and main missions that it comes as a seamless transition from side to main missions.
    Personal opinion about gear mods - glad they are removed them and only three options with various optimizations are available. Mods in Just Cause 3 made the player to grind the side missions. If not, the player would not have the grappling hook and other mods that made the game hard to beat.
    Explosions - fabulous.
    Voice acting - fantastic.

    I just love Just Cause game series and I hope for two things:
    1. That developers understand clearly what is wrong with this game (obviously the graphics and glitches that are more expected at beta version of the game, not the finished product)
    2. That Just Cause 5 will see the light in a few years and that developers would not be scared of bad reviews.

    To other critics:
    Let me tell you the most important thing. Game industry is a business. Someone has to remind you that. And here I am.

    I am sure all this "unfinished product" situation happened because Avalanche and Square Enix found themselves in uncomfortable position -- many great games recently released, the launch date already official, all guidelines to publish the game to PS Store passed, and then there is Christmas time coming with lots of kids, teenagers and adults -- a wide variety -- of people waiting for something to buy as a gift.

    I am pretty sure almost everyone would do the same thing and would release a product that needs finishing touches with a promise to patch the game in couple of weeks instead of missing an opportunity to sell more copies of the game in Christmas time.

    Therefore, I don't see why this game should have worse reviews than previous games. When developers release the fix for the problems, not many of the reviewers would change their score, just because they already have their feelings hurt... And most of these reviews would not reflect the true value of the game.    … Expand

    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]
