Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
161 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you love pure chaos, destruction, and fast gameplay, Just Cause 3 is still a banger.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Rico’s one-liners hit just right, and the set pieces are gloriously unhinged: cow-launching weapons, explosive vehicle chases, and over-the-top dictator-toppling moments that feel designed to make you laugh as much as they make things explode.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The island of Medici is vibrant and detailed, with great lighting, weather effects, and a sense of scale that makes just flying around enjoyable on its own.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Aside from technical issues, the game is solid - voice acting, bombastic effects and the random one-liners you quip all mesh well with the setting.
