    Just Cause 3 stands for freedom and fun. Every gameplay element is working towards one and the same goal: doing whatever you feel like. Just Cause 3 is simply a game you must play, it would surprise us if you wouldn't like it.

    Just Cause 3 is a chaotic, over the top action game where a simple grenade could level an entire military base from the domino effect alone. It is a beautiful action movie in video game form, with a cool protagonist and an incredible attention to detail.

    Just Cause 3 delivers what it does best: chaos and destruction. Though the world and gameplay feel monotonous at times, the wingsuit and other new additions are fun. But still no multiplayer, really?!

    Just Cause 3 is a monument to excess. It’s Hot Shots. It’s Charlie Chaplin in The Dictator, if Charlie Chaplin had rocket-powered C4 in his boots. It’s that scene in Dr. Strangelove where Slim Pickens rides the nuke into Russia, except...well, no, it’s pretty much exactly that scene on repeat for 25-30 hours.

    Just Cause 3 has two souls: one is pure, untarnished and ridiculous fun, the other is pretty raw, unpolished and repetitive. If you like blowing stuff up, launching rocket cows into space, or simply chaos, this game is definitely a dream come true. Just don’t expect an action masterpiece.

    Just Cause 3 is a sandbox game that works only if you create your own experience. But if you play it in a straight way, it shows only limitations (and some technical issues that we hope Avalanche will fix soon).

    Gliding over Medici’s beautiful vistas and causing those awesome explosions are the only fun things in a soulless product known as Just Cause 3. But then again, you can just gaze at screenshots while listening to the game’s soundtrack.

Amazing.One of the best game i played since long time. Who cares about the plot. I'm full of all that games that want to give an amazing plot when probably best part of the players even care. this, is a game.you can do everything you want. he is an old style hero, a real one. some good joke while i shot with my bazooka, cool attitude, superstrong, unbeatable. Big map, lot of thing to do. The MOD system is cool.
    Now the part about the graphic:
    Yes there are problem on PC version. I have an i5-4670k 3.40ghz, 8gb ram,geforceGTX 760, and it give me some problem, mostly when i turn on myself very fast, and there is some "lag", but all that kids who say that is worst that BATMAN are real morons. you can play any way. probably in 2/3 weeks we will have the patch, so be patient. i cant stay here and read some stupid newbie who say "is possible that for everygame that come out we need a patch?". yes is possible, you konw howw difficult is to make a triple A game in this period? shut the **** up and go to work or play something else. you are not playing supremario bros, this are amsterpieces idiot, id like to see you do anything like. this.    … Expand

    The wing suit is by far one of the coolest gameplay mechanics to date, and the visual fidelity is breathtaking.

    However one aspect of the game steals the show... the water. It's uncanny how realistic it is, and how fun driving a speedboat over the waves can be. I'm quite impressed by the realism it adds, and how beautiful and clear the water is near the shore.    … Expand

    But
    1. the game is far too easy, a bit like having a chicken korma when you ordered a vindaloo.
    2. Enemies are the same and far too easy and unfortunately don't react to you.
    3. I would shot someone 3/4 times and he didn't react until he died.
    4. You quickly find that shooting from a distance is the easiest solution.
    5. Not much variety in enemies and the "Bosses" are far too easy.

    Easy ways to improve.
    1. Make the missions harder, much harder. Far more people to shoot, varied buildings
    2. Have the environment respond better. If I shot a guard in front of someone, I want the whole garrison hunting me down guns blazing.
    3. I don't want the guards to give up after 30s just because your hovering above them.
    4. Make the missions far more varied.
    5. Give the enemy an opportunity to fight back and take back territory.

    In truth when I complete game, I want to have worked hard for it using skill and tactics rather than just simple shot and run.    … Expand

    2. The plot here is very simple, even too simple, the developers probably thought that underdeveloped children would play it.
    3. A lot of grind, all we do is capture enemy bases
    But there are also pluses, explosions are very well implemented and there is a lot of action per square meter on the screen. Which hints that the game should be developed online, but here you made a mistake, he is almost not here, he is dead here, all you can do online is to blow up cities with a friend and that's it.    … Expand

I've been stuck at the first loading screen indefinitly. I have 101 minutes into this game via Steam, and every single minute was me waiting for it to load on multiple tries. I tried reaching out to the community and trying a variety of fixes but nothing, still stuck. I even watched a full movie on my tablet while having it run on my PC, halfway through the movie, it was still loading.
