Extreme weather but extremely dull filler To keep it short, Rico comes across rumors that his father had worked on secret weapons for the Black Hand at some point, so he goes digging for the truth in-between bouts of blowing everything up. It seems that developers Avalanche wanted to save that showdown for a sequel, and they’ve even added a personal twist too. You might remember these guys as the hired goons from Just Cause and especially Just Cause 3, as their survival always felt like one of the worst unresolved threads from that game. This time, he’s off to the fictional South American country of Solis to tackle the Black Hand directly.
Sadly, the game simply trades in the old technical issues for a whole boatload of new ones, without ever rising to become anything more than above average.Īfter liberating his homeland of Medici, series protagonist Rico is back to take down another threat.
Despite its rocky launch and tremendous technical issues, Just Cause 3 ended up being one of my favourite games of the last few years it’s safe to say I was really looking forward to even bigger mayhem in Just Cause 4.
