    One of the most buggy and glitch ridden games I’ve even seen hit the market. This doesn’t even deserve to be a triple A title anymore.

    Peut-être le pire jeu auquel j'ai joué et en tout cas il en fait partie. je n'ai pas du tout apprécié, je me suis amusé au tout début quelques minutes mais après j'étais totalement désintéressé. Le jeu est vide est sans intérêt.

    This is likely one of the worst open world games ever made. It had one fun thing- Tornadoes, that's it. Nothing else to care about. Graphics were awful, world was empty and boring, mission design was phenomenally bad, story was meaningless. Not to even mention the fact, that design for the open world felt like it was made with random map generator. Zero passion.

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

The graphics aren't impressive either and they still use pre-rendered cutscene like come on we are in real time now. Again like in 3, loading times between in game and cutscene how is this even possible when we have games with real time now. The story is just whatever and just doesn't make any sense. The biggest take away is that the explosions aren't rewarding unlike in 3 where you get chaos points to have a sense of progression. Here exploring everything just doesn't grant anything and just feels useless which is a shame cause they look great and play great too.… Expand

    Tem algumas propostas de jogo interessantes, o mapa é um cenário de guerra constante e dominar os territórios traz uma dinâmica diferenciada. A inteligência artificial dos NPCs é bem ruim e a mecânica de combate deixa muito a desejar. É um jogo em que da pra passar um tempo se divertindo mas não é um grande jogo.

For a 'sandbox' game there's not very much to do (other than completing hundreds of vehicle/wingsuit stunts).
    In my opinion, there are only two positive or unique things about JC3. The wingsuit gameplay and the world design. I consider JC3's map one of the most beautiful of all games. JC4's map is far worse. Bigger but way duller.
    JC4 has at least stable fps and don't run on 10 fps when things are exploding. But at what cost? Textures are constantly loading in, sometimes you find yourself falling through a texture that's supposed to be solid but hasn't loaded yet. Also lighting engine is kind of weird so JC3 is graphically better.
    In conclusion, Just Cause 4 doesn't improve on its predecessor in any major way and feels rushed.    … Expand

    I found it forcing me to kill so many women in the game to be somewhat disturbing. Seemed like a lot of the enemy troops were women for some reason. Just being honest here, as a guy killing other guys feels more natural, something off about killing women. Anyways, I liked Just Cause 2 a lot, and Just Cause 3 was pretty decent, though it could've been more realistic. This one just confused me.

    OH SO CLOSE, this game is so close to being a great game but the constant down scaling and annoying timed missions, along with irritating aircraft controls make what could have been a really great game so annoying at times.

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.

    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]
