    Just Cause 4 fulfills the promise of what a Just Cause game should be better than any of its predecessors.

    While it misses some of the best features from its predecessors, Just Cause 4 is a captivatingly fun experience, with enough new mechanics to be a staple for action fans.

    Just Cause 4 is neither a revolution nor a weak entry in the series, but it is actually the most complete Just Cause title yet. JC4 gathers everything positive from the previous games, adds some other things on top of that, and despite a repetitive gameplay and some story telling issues, still manages to at least satisfy the fans of the series.

    Just Cause 4 feels uninspired and lacks anything new and exciting enough to keep players hooked. While the moment to moment gameplay is fun and refined, the lack of variety in both setting and structure makes the game fade into the background in a year packed with so many impressive titles.

    Just Cause 4 is a big, dumb and lovely action game that offers hours of great entertainment for those willing to look past its blemishes and technical faults.

    Just Cause 4's traversal system can be wonderfully entertaining, and the chaotic, explosion-sim physics in play are frequently exhilarating, but they're manacled to a game that has absolutely no idea how best to use them. What's the point in giving players an array of tools that lets them cause wanton destruction on a gargantuan scale, and then designing a campaign full of drab, copy-pasted missions that barely require you to use them? It's a bit like getting the coolest BMX on the market for Christmas, but then your Mum tells you you're only allowed to ride it around the garden where she can keep an eye on you. Cheers, Mum.

    It doesn't matter how cool an individual set piece looks if all the smaller scenes leading up to it are marred by unresponsive vehicles, dumb AI, and shoddy physics.

    Ya no era tan entretenido como los anteriores. Si no revolucionas o ofreces algo distinto en algún momento... la fórmula se agota.

    Another game that I got from PS Plus that I'm so glad I did not pay for. Story, Graphics, Environment, Controls. They are all awful. The carsAnother game that I got from PS Plus that I'm so glad I did not pay for. Story, Graphics, Environment, Controls. They are all awful. The cars drive like sleds on ice. Enemies seem to spawn out of nowhere half the time. I remember the first 2 Just Cause games were pretty fun action games, but this game replaces the fun with a task system that is just way too convoluted for it's own good.

    Meh, better not to waste your time with this.    … Expand

    Just Cause 4 is what I imagine mid 2000's outraged old people think video games are like.

    It's so bad I'm just gonna list all the cons, no    Just Cause 4 is what I imagine mid 2000's outraged old people think video games are like.

    It's so bad I'm just gonna list all the cons, no time for a whitty review:
    There is no plot to speak of, the characters are dull and bland stereotypes of some of the most played out archetypes out there, the world feels empty, every mission is a side mission, there is 0 gameplay variety, the game controls like **** the physics engine is broken, at times it feels like it's in a pre-alpha state, the graphics are stuck in the late 00's (not even AAA graphics from that time), it's supposed to be fun but rarely is and the trophies are ****.

    Oh and here are the pros:
    I had a total of 15 minutes of fun... during my 10+ hour playthrough. I also got a cow gun, that was semi-cool.

    It's essentially the B-roll footage that gets left on the cutting room floor of a Michael Bay movie.
    Yet another **** PS+ game.    … Expand

    I'm updating this review. Originally I gave it a 9 and praised the weather and graphics. After playing for around 10 hours and realizing allI'm updating this review. Originally I gave it a 9 and praised the weather and graphics. After playing for around 10 hours and realizing all the game's faults...it's a complete mess. Graphics and textures are horrible, pop in is atrocious, there are unfinished textures and environmental features. The motion blur is also horrendous and makes it hard to focus. The weather is not random it's on a predetermined path and always repeats the same cycle. It is not dynamic or random so the devs lied on that. The game can still be good fun but it has way too many issues and I can't recommend it unless it gets fixed. It's saddening to say that this was the most disappointing game I've played all year. I wanted to love this game but it's an ugly,unfinished, and buggy mess of a game in it's current state. If it gets patched I will update it but if not this is my final score. Tl;dr graphics are garbage, game can be fun but is a disappointing mess. 3/10… Expand
