    The game is really fun! You can cause havoc just like in Just Cause 2, with better graphics, A LOT more things to do and the game runs a lot smoother! Really a worth buy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a really good game. It does have problems but it is still extremely fun.

    TL;DR; ---> If you liked JC2, you will probably like this

    PROs:
    * The Wingsuit/Grapple/Parachute - Like JC2 but better. Controls take 20 mins or so to get used to but are really fun. If JC2 was the first game to make movement fun, JC3 makes travel (over even the longest distances) a pleasure, not a chore
    * The Graphics - The graphics are beautiful. Not photo-realistic but still beautiful. Everything looks really nice.
    * The story - The underlying story is actually pretty good, much better than the one in JC2. There is more character development and a clearer idea of what is going on in the bigger picture
    * It's a Just Cause Game - This sums it up for me. You get to blow whatever you want up -I like that. If you didn't like that in JC2, you wont like this game. If you did however, this game is great, it is just that, but better and with more options
    * The encounters system - These are little side quests that take just a few mins. They are really very fun and can really make travelling a lot of fun if you run into one.

    MEHs (Could have been Better, Could have been Worse)
    * The gunplay - Fun but a bit clunky. (Just like JC2)
    * The cutscenes - Some are excellent, some are useless
    * Driving - Takes a while to get good at
    * The gear mod system - Provides a good sense of progression and makes the races etc. have a point but they get a bit grindy and some should be given to you at the start (i.e. being able to use the iron sights of any gun)
    * Balance - The whole point of JC3 (as with JC and JC2) is that you are the only hope of the revolution, so balance was never going to be great but I think the game is done well

    CONs:
    * The loading screens - Fine on my machine (max 30 seconds with i7/970) but on a less powerful PC this could be an issue
    * Side quests - WHERE DID THEY GO? There are no fun side quests in this game like there were in JC2. This is my major gripe with the game, without them it runs out far too quickly. WTF where are they? ENCOUNTERS ARE NOT A REPLACEMENT.
    Repetitive - many of the quests are repeated throughout the game (i.e. follow the pipe, disable the thing at the end happens 3 times) and each liberation is a bit samey. However I like that the settlements seem to be on average bigger than in JC2 and are MUCH harder to complete.

    Overall this is actually a very fun game for fans of JC/JC2. It is definitely worth playing. I know many people have had some issued however, so just be sure, get it through steam so you can refund it. I think this game has bee reviewed unfairly and I think it deserves a 85-ish metacritic score. The hype surrounding this was so great because of the legendary status of JC2 that it is a bit of a let down, but judged on its own merits, it is a good game.    … Expand

    JC3 is a near perfect game. This delivers a playground that delivers on the most important respect, it's fun to play in. After a few hours you're a master of the wingsuit and grapple and traversal becomes such an enjoyable experience.

    Fun mayhem in adult sized chunks of time.

    This game was more fun than I'd have expected. You go in as a "professional dictator remover" tasked with overthrowing the dictator of an island. The way to accomplish this is to murder and cause total mayhem. To eliminate any qualms about doing this, the first couple of lines spoken to you by the rebel faction is "whatever you destroy, we will    Fun mayhem in adult sized chunks of time.

    This game was more fun than I'd have expected. You go in as a "professional dictator remover" tasked with overthrowing the dictator of an island. The way to accomplish this is to murder and cause total mayhem. To eliminate any qualms about doing this, the first couple of lines spoken to you by the rebel faction is "whatever you destroy, we will rebuild". There's your license to go nuts.

    Stuff to do:
    There's a lot of things to destroy, from "soft targets" to a great variety of military and civilian vehicles, buildings, electrical generators, fuel depots, guard towers and so on. The array of weapons is varied enough with the traditional collection of pistols, SMGs, assault rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles, grenades, rocket launchers and more. To top it all off is an insane shoulder launched "mini nuke" with fantastic explosion and radius, that feels just ridiculously fun to launch at a well guarded oil rig in the middle of the ocean. "So you have SAM defenses, and army on the rig and support choppers covering you.. sod it, I'll just nuke you out of the water".

    When not engaging targets, just driving, boating or flying around is a treat, since the scenery is absolutely amazing. There's even a small resort-like island for you to relax on, enjoy the sun, drive a race track through ruins or just sink some sailing boat just for the lulz. The seems to be the one seen in the title's opening screen, but you have to go hunt for it.

    The game world is huge, with varied terrain, from beaches to dense forrest and mountains that strech up in the clouds. I was able to travers the entire map (game world) in a fighter jet without any pause or loading screen. The viewing distance is also amonst the best I've seen in a title without sacrificing system performance, so there's plenty of stuff and places to explore.

    Getting about:
    You have the option to use your boots, zip around a'la spiderman, fly using your reusable parachute, fly faster using your flying-squirrel-suit or use vehicles; boats, planes, choppers, cars, tanks, motorcycles .. The options are vast. Also, to minimize "downtime", the system has a fast-travel option where you can point at a previously discovered location and "teleport" there.

    Combat:
    Shooting accuracy is above average. Not like the Tom Clancy titles, but pretty close. Headshots are possible and do more damage as one's come to expect.
    If an enemy sees you performing violence, they will engage and / or report the incident over radio, which in turn raises your "wanted level", like in GTA. Each wanted level brings more heat, first ground units, then choppers, finally tanks and missile gun ships. In contrast with GTA however, the game doesn't throw an infinite wave of enemies at you. Instead you have a chance to clear your wanted level by eliminating all enemies in a wave within a certain (undisclosed) amount of time. Imo. this was a great design decision Avalanche made, as it opens up a new avenue for wanted level clearing, in addition to the established "run and hide for a few minutes", which became pretty boring in the GTA fanchise.

    Story:
    There's one, some may say weak, but I personally found it entertaining enough. The acting and voice acting was imo. rather good with some humor and none of the characters taking themselves or their situation seriously.

    Annoyances:
    * Loading time! It's definitely above average. About 20 second long pauses every now and then.
    * Lack of variery liberating towns and army installations. You perform the same motions for each and every one of the two types. Since the Studio obviously made the effort to create highly varied towns and bases, not having made the mechanics of liberating those targets just stood out as kind of sloppy.

    Build quality:
    * Ran very well on my system (Core i7 4770 stock clocked with an aging GTX 780 and 32GB RAM). The game seemes capped at 30fps which I noticed only after having completed the game and enabled FRAPS on it to check our what the actual frame rate was. Needless to say it didn't bother me probably because of the sly use of motion blur the game engine leverages.
    * Playing in fullscreen and windowed mode is supported (ALT-ENTER switches mode).
    * A crash here or there. In total I had just 3 crashes over 2 weeks of playing and countless hours devoted to the game. So overall, it's about average stability quality of a game these days I'd say.

    To conclude, I'd say that the key to being able to appreciate the title is understanding what it shoots for and what it doesn't. If you're looking for a mayhem sandbox instead of a story driven title, then you may be as positively surprised as I was. If you think this is a modern version of The Witcher 3, then move on to another title.

    I'd rate the game a solid 7.5/10, since I'm not a FPS fan, but nonetheless found this title highly enjoyable.    … Expand

    This game was fun, apart from the loading times. For those who like causing havoc and there is little fun from the story. The only real fun out of this game for me was exploding things, funny bugs and using the environment and grapple system. U must use your imagination or u won't like this one, just like the idiots who give it a 0 because just because they don't like it.

    Ok, yes the launch was less than stellar. To those of you who are nvidia users make sure you get the latest driver. New driver took the game from broken to stable. I still get some frame rate slow down when there is a whole lot of explosions and physics damage going on, but only when the fit really hits the shan. So performance isn't terrible for me, just leaves a little bit to be desired.Ok, yes the launch was less than stellar. To those of you who are nvidia users make sure you get the latest driver.

    The game is awesome. I think it looks really good, map traversal is way more fun than in JC2. Vehicles leave something to be desired. I've been playing GTA lately and the cars and bikes are quite inferior. Not terrible once you get used to them, but not awesome. Now, what you can do with the cars is a different story.

    To those complaining about plot, and voice acting, you're missing the point of this game. I had the same issue the first time I picked up JC2. I put it right back down because the voice acting was so terrible, especially that indian(?) girl leader of that revolutionary group, omg I hated her so much. But whats true of all games is 10x more true with Just Cause, the plot is truly just a means to get you to go do some crazy action movie sequence. This game at its heart is a physics playground, and in that respect JC3 is very successful.

    One of the reviewers said it and I agree, you need to be able to come up with your own fun to enjoy this game. If you are a gamer who often finds themselves trying things, "I wonder what will happen if I do this", then this is the game for you, because chances are, this game will let you do it, and the results will be fantastic and funny.

    I think 8/10 is more correct because of the issues related above, but I'm kind of sick of every game I like getting mountains of 0s when they are clearly not 0 games, so I'm giving it 9.    … Expand

    The graphics looks great (on my minimum requirement video card that is), the framerate was high except a few cases where either many explosions happened or the game had to load someting from my HDD. Yes, it had loading times ~30 seconds but only around missions; roaming in the open world was hardly affected by loading. Unlike Fallout 4, where the a 30 second radiant quest is followed by a 30 second loading screen (on SSD!), here the action goes on an on for half a hour before loading happens.

    I enjoyed flying the helicopters but hated all other vehicles; controlling cars and most notably planes with mouse and keyboard was really bad for me - I mostly skipped challenges with them as well. Getting around otherwise was easy and the rebel drop system is cool, although the cooldown was a bit long for such fast-paced frenziness.

    The story is simplistic but the action and blowing stuff up was quite enjoyable. I never felt repetition when taking over towns and outposts. I belive JC3 has fewer settlements than JC2 because I can remember I got bored after two dozen locations in my JC2 replay. The map is huge but more desolate and covered mostly in water; however, the stuff density was okay for me.

    The final positive thing was that clearing the heat level happens much faster now. One problem with such sandbox games is that in many games, you start keep accumulating "wanted" level and you can't get away from your chasers; they will hunt you across the map and every shot fired at them just makes things worse. In JC3, I could simply hide somewhere for a minute to get things cleared.

    The game has a few negative sides and annoyances. Crash to desktop, heat seeking missiles not locking on, falling through the terrain and the constant "XY beat your best score in Z", i.e., the always online, 2 minute login leaderboards which can't be disabled unless you pull the plug on your internet connection.

    Just Cause 3 was a great fun, and even though you can re-oppress settlements, I don't feel the urge to take on them again or replay the game.    … Expand

Some other stuff as well.

    And people talking about the game being unplayable... well, even though it doesn't support my SLI setup, I can run this maxed 1080 at 60-80 fps on 1 GTX970 which is WAY better than games like the Witcher 3 that ran at 45 fps on ultra 1080p. Of course, W3 looked better (expecially on the LOD part) but the textures were also kind of crap at the start (they patched it later). JC3 is not an ugly game really, it is just not. That a game is not as pretty as the most pretty games ever doesn't mean it's is instantly ugly.

    But seriously, people calling it repetitive and boring have either never played a JC game before, don't even have the game, are trolling or have bought the game with wrong expectations. JC 2 was exactly the same thing but a lot more clunky and worse on many surfaces (especially optimization) yet that one had a way higher score?

    Man, gamers are whiners these days.

Although I will point out that other people seem to be complaining about performance. I haven't had any issues on i7 4770K and 770GTX with 16GB ram and installed the game to SSD. Load times are ~10 seconds. In the entire 10 hrs I had 1 crash to desktop, but upon reloading the game there was an autosave right where I was so I lost no progress. I had to set LOD and Shadows to medium and get ~40-45 fps, with some slow downs when Heat hits Level 5 dipping to 30 fps. Hopefully they can improve a little bit as it feels like any lag is due to the online tracking of almost everything you do, highest altitude, most headshots, longest free fall, most kills with 1 grenade etc. and compares this to your friends.… Expand

    Just Cause 3 takes the best parts of Just Cause 2 and makes them a hell of a lot better. Improved grapple hook that lets you fire multiple, letting you grapple 2 objects and pull them together. They also added a wingsuit that makes traversing the many islands exiting and beautiful...and of course you have the explosions that look absolutely stellar.

    What i have seen from this game it looks pretty good and very fun that's why i am giving it a 9/10. You should play this game. Just cause 2 was good but this ups the ante by a lot.

    Excellent game, especially at the price. A very worthy sequel to Just Cause 2. Map is huge and varied. Plenty of different vehicles too. In game physics are excellent. Graphics are quite good (ultra setting). The game performance is smooth and loading times are minimal. The game does crash sometimes but hopefully this will be sorted out very soon.

    This is my first game in the Just Cause series and I wasn't sure what to expect. I think you have to take the game for what it is, and that is basically a ridiculous amount of blowing crap up and completing tons of missions. The world is very large and there are a lot of things to do, and the more you play it the more you get in to the game.

    It doesn't have a well constructed story, but it makes up for that in terms of having an arsenal of guns, gear and vehicles to ensure that you spend hours on end just doing one more mission. Probably my favourite game of the year, due to the fact that you can simply pick up the game for a quick mission or 2, or spend several hours playing through the campaign.

    Finally your hardware needs to be relatively new to make sure this game runs smoothly. A lot of issues PC gamers have seem to be from running old gear and not checking the minimum requirements. I've had no issues with running the game on a GTX 980Ti as well as a GTX 970 both with Haswell chips.

    Great game and if you enjoy blowing up bases or grappling people to buildings, this is a must buy.    … Expand

    Just cause 3,
    massive map, massive fun, and massive let down.
    Just cause 3 is a 3rd person action adventure gamewhere you play as rico rodriguez, set out to liberate the massive island you’re on...

    Just cause 3 is a 3rd person action adventure gamewhere you play as rico rodriguez, set out to liberate the massive island you’re on...
    You do this equipped with some guns, a parachute, and a grappling gun…
    Just cause 3 is hilarious, and never takes itself seriously... it knows it’s a ridiculous videogame and it makes fun of itself the entire way…
    You’re going to have a blast for the first few hours of this game...
    There’s seemingly so much to do...
    There are cars to collect... missions to do... towns and bases to liberate, and challenges to conquer
    plus basically the entire world is destructive
    unfortunately, this becomes stale very quickly…
    Apart from the hilarious cut scenes, there’s nothing special about the campaign, it’s your typical fight your way to the bad guy story, get the things he’s after before he does…
    what I found pretty clever though is that a couple missions require you to liberate sections of the map before they will unlock..
    This forces you to do the best parts of the game in my opinion...
    Liberating can be fun... at least the military bases...
    You basically go in and destroy all of their goods while they try and stop you…
    and this is the meat of the game…
    it’s a clean the map game which again is fun for a while, but is massively repetitive…
    I feel like the staleness comes from the restrictions the game puts on you…
    For starters as you complete missions and get stars from missions you’ll unlock vehicles and guns…
    the great thing is you can request these items from a drop box anytime at all
    the problem is you need a beacon to do this…
    This is bad because you’ll find yourself in the middle of nowhere many times after a mission with no beacons or a helicopter in sight... causing you to have to grapple way 8,000 km to your next way point
    Sure infinite beacons would’ve made just cause 3 much easier.. But more importantly I feel like it would make the game much more fun...
    more about causing destruction and mayhem and less about forcing you to traverse a massive but empty world….it isn’t a game you play for challenge anyway or really a game you play to explore…
    the same issue can be found with fast travel..
    You can only carry 1 flare at a time and you need this flare to fast travel to a location…
    I would’ve much rather had fast travels be endless but limited to liberated bases...
    This would’ve given me incentive to liberate beyond the minimum to complete the story…
    but while you are creating havoc, almost everything you do is tied to a score so you can try to outdo your friends in craziness…
    you can of course opt out and play offline. .but annoyingly every time you go to check the map or pause the game it tries to log you in stopping all flow and immersion of the game...
    This is by far the greatest sin the game commits…
    I had games downloading in the background so it would attempt to log in for minutes, causing me to get distracted numerous times by something else… only to remember oh yeah, I was playing just cause 3…
    When I enter offline mode, please keep me there until I opt in to online...
    don’t try to force it
    while there are hours of fun to be had in just cause 3
    I didn’t really find the journey to be worth it all in the end…
    There’s a good time here, just no real substance

    I should start by saying I thoroughly enjoyed Just Cause 2. That game, to me, encapsulates what a "sandbox game" should be like. A huge, open-from-the-start map with tons of vehicles with which to travel across it, things to destroy, and people to kill. Sure, the story is anything if not lacking, but I think judging Just Cause 2 by its story is somewhat misguided, as the story missionsI should start by saying I thoroughly enjoyed Just Cause 2.

Sure, the story is anything if not lacking, but I think judging Just Cause 2 by its story is somewhat misguided, as the story missions only serve to unlock more ways to cause rampant, Michael Bay-esque destruction. I have to wonder what the game might be like had the developers used an engine like that of the Red Faction series, with significantly better terrain destruction (putting aside for a moment the ideas of graphical limitations and the ability of processors to handle many thousands of physics calculations at once).

    Does the game bug out from time to time?

    Yes, very much so. Attaching a person to a car via the grappling hook may cause the car to suddenly flip off into the distance in a grandiose fireball. Luckily, you never really need to do this for a mission, and unless you're a pedant for realistic physics, that bug is at worst an amusing hiccup.

    My biggest complaint with the game would be, beyond a shadow of a doubt, Square Enix's insistence that you use their online service while playing. There is no multiplayer mode, mind you, just a silly scoreboard about who killed the most enemies in 5 seconds, or who wingsuited the longest. If you happen to lose internet connection while playing, be prepared for a jarring pause, while the game attempts to connect to SQENIX's servers, fails, and only then prompts you to play in offline mode. This has to be my biggest issue with the game. Having social systems is all well and good, but when those social systems interfere with my gameplay, now we have a problem.

    However, I am willing to overlook this complaint because the game is an absolute joy to play. As of writing, I've logged something over 30 hours of running around and blowing things up, and I've enjoyed every minute. I have had no game crashes or performance issues, though my gaming PC is brand new with current gen hardware, so I can't attest to general stability.

    The bottom line is this:

    If you're looking for a plot-driven or complex game, you should probably look elsewhere. But if you come in knowing what you're going to get - a wild romp through an explosive world that feels truly massive.    … Expand

I am not going to call it the greatest thing ever created and I am not even going to call it the best free roaming game I've ever played. But I will say it's got some pretty amazing moves! During one mission, where I was forced to drive a vehicle fitted with a bomb into an enemy convoy, I was barely able to escape with my life by ejecting myself from the car in the nick of time, flipping over the extremely HUGE explosion that then propelled me several feet both in the air and away from the blast! During flight I was able to regain equilibrium and shoot my grappling hook nearby to land in such a way that I barely escaped with my life! It was SO INTENSE!! That was a HELL OF A FUN TIME THERE! There are quite a few other interactions that really just tickled my fancy, such as an encounter with my first ever authority figure on Medici! An officer gave me a snarky look so I attached my Ghook to his leg and quickly to the nearest speeding vehicle (which happened to be caught in a traffic loop) that promptly took him from pointing his weapon at my face to landing on his and scrapping it across the pavement. His partner, calling for backup and advancing toward me, was hilariously caught up by the dead body of his friend swinging around with such force that it busted his skull, killing him and effectively preventing him from calling for backup! That's what I call first impressions! I almost feel automatically obligated to compare the game to other open world games. The first one for me that comes to mind (despite its differing point of view for the gamer) is Farcry 4! Getting around in that game is just the bees knees! This game ups the UNTZ factor by a thousand in giving you the grappling hook, wing suit, parachute combo! YOU FEEL AS COOL AS BATMAN! There were a few instances in which I felt like Rico might actually best the Dark Knight considering how amazingly dynamic he is! Pulling down statues, then driving the getaway vehicle head on into an enemy vehicle only to have jumped out seconds before, parachute open and guns blazing! It really gets the adrenaline pumping! All in all, it's about how much fun you can have. That depends greatly on the kind of person you are. Coming into this game, my expectations were exactly what I received, a similar experience to the last outing (which was very fun) with little to no story line to care about! To be fair, this game COULD have gotten a much better score if the developer cared more about polishing the wonky bits (there is SO MUCH GOING ON that a lot of graphical and physics weirdness occurs on a regular basis) and really making the characters people we can actually care about, they might be a contender for GTA... ok, that's WAY TO FAR, but still... This game is hella fun and the only elements that are missing are the polish and story! Just like Terrence Howard's "Rhody" said in first Iron Man film "Next time baby!" by Keith Valdez… Expand

Заниматься здесь всегда будет чем, особенно, если вы намерены полностью закончить игру и пройти каждое испытание на 5 шестерен, это действительно интересно и занятно. Главной же изюминкой этой части стал вингсьют, он реализован здесь просто потрясающе, благодаря этой игре, я понял как это круто и интересно и теперь с нетерпением жду The Steep от Ubisoft, где продолжу заниматься такой деятельностью в играх!

    To start with, JC3's gameplay is indeed a bit repetitive and the story is a bit underwhelming, but the enormous map is nice to explore and no two areas are the same. There are a lot of optional challenges available like driving, piloting, wingsuit gliding, etc. that allows you to experience the fullest extent of the map if you so desire.

    Because of the sheer size of the map, you can easily get 50+ hours of gameplay even without doing any challenges. I highly recommend at least the wingsuit challenges, though. However, the overall game itself doesn't feel as intense as JC2 which is where opinions will divide. JC3 isn't particularly difficult; you're essentially given free reign so long as you don't let yourself die. And even if you do, you just respawn and continue on from there.

    Combat with hostiles on the ground is a bit boring since guns are king, and it's just better in general to ignore the enemies and focus on clearing the outposts. There isn't much of a point anymore to use the hook to make cheesy kills, which is a bit disappointing. Driving is pointless once you can use helicopters. These are only some of the reasons why I'm unable to rate JC3 higher; JC3 lost some of the main charms of JC2 and forces you to focus on a limited spectrum of gameplay.

    In any case, JC3 is still a decent game to play if you enjoyed JC2, so if you can get it on sale, you should. It's not the same beast that JC2 was, but JC2 set a really high bar that's hard to beat, so it wouldn't be fair to expect too much out of JC3. I give JC3 a generous 8/10, simply because I got a ton of bang out of it from sheer game time.

    The Air, Land & Sea Expansion Pass DLC adds many neat additions to the game that makes it more badass to play (jetpack wingsuit anyone?), so you should grab it as well if you can. The jetpack alone makes the DLC worth having. I'd give the DLC a 9/10, as it was relatively fun to play through and added a bunch of content.

    On a final note, I highly suggest installing mods to alleviate some of the inconveniences in the game (long intro, rebel drop frequency, etc.). Also, keep Vertical Sync enabled or else you may experience "DXGI" game crashes.    … Expand

    I actually liked Just Cause 3 a lot, dunno why people hate it so much. Traversing the world using wingsuit and grappling hook is incredibly fun. This is the first open world game where I barely used fast travel even when backtracking.

    There are a lot of things that keep you busy: create the best police car chase in any video game in existence, find all the easter-eggs hidden in the map, trying to find every vehicle in the game and so on, The shooting is neat, the grappling hook is awesome and the gear system is a cool idea.
    I like this game, but i have a few problems.
    1: The console versions can get really laggy.
    2: You need to have a decent pc to play this game.
    3: Blowing up everything to liberate a town can get a little repetitive (especially if you can't find something to destroy -yeah yeah there's a map i know but for the little things to destroy that won't help you-)
    4: The driving is awkward at first. You need to get used to it.

The only snag is the slow turning, but if you plan your areal attacks well, it does not matter much. The weapons are fun to experiment with, and I found myself not as interested in the FOW type weapons, though they are fun as well.

    This game is definitely worth the time invested, and I can see myself revisiting this game later, to do it all over again. The Mario and Dimah dialog will be worth it alone.    … Expand

The explosions look very real and better than the last two games. The game has too much grinding which becomes very tedious once you are stuck finding a microphone hidden somewhere in the city to be able to liberate it or a cop stuck behind a wall which is frustrating since you need to take all of them down to liberate the town. Some military camps have special requirements to liberate them which makes it fun otherwise liberating cities is awfully boring.… Expand

    It boasts some great improvements over the previous game of the series, but does not evolve the formula in any significant way. It looks better and lets you glide in a wingsuit, but its scale is not surprising anymore. It lets you unleash wonderful chaos in unscripted skirmishes, but its story missions fail to enrich the experience. All the same it is my kind of game. I love playing with its systems, I appreciate the effort put into JC3 and I return to Medici from time to time for condensed doses of havoc. [01/2016, p.48]

    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.
