So much so that despite the 30+ hours I've put into it, I've not yet finished the main story, explored much of the largest island, discovered all manner of vehicles, nor ensured I won't encounter any more severe crashes later on. It’s bigger, sillier, and most importantly, freer. In most senses, Just Cause 3 sticks to the series’ formula, but it’s about how it approaches it this time that makes this the finest game in the run. So, once more, Rico is tasked with ousting the political control of the ruler by recapturing dozens of bases and towns, as well as ploughing through a parallel main quest of scripted missions. It is now under the oppression of fascist dictator General Di Ravello, who with the islands natural deposits of a rare element called Bavarium, intends on taking over the world.
Having previously liberated the islands of San Esperito and Panau, one-man army Rico Rodriguez is now returning to the land in which he was born – a sprawling network of islands called Medici. It doesn’t do the same! Oh my goodness, Just Cause 3 - despite its bugs - is wonderful. However, Just Causes 1 and 2 both made the same mistake of letting difficulty get in the way of fun, and there seemed no sensible reason to assume the third game in the series wouldn’t do the same.
The Just Cause series has always been to the open worlds of Far Cry as Saints Row has been to GTA: its irreverent, sillier, and ultimately far more entertaining cousin. And not forgetting standing upside down on the bottom of a helicopter half a mile in the air, shooting grenades at explosive barrels. Then there’s driving a Formula 1 car around some ancient ruins. Also, flying a plane into a five storey fuel tank and leaping out just in time. You know what makes a good game? Helicopters with nitros. Bearing this in mind, here's wot I think. Of course, that means the code we've been reviewing from for the last week also lacks that patch, making it tricky to know how many of the issues I encountered - in an otherwise stupendous game - will affect you. "Officially", because it was apparently released early in a few naughty nations, prompting the developers to make a list of planned Day 0 fixes. Avalanche's Just Cause 3 is officially released Tuesday morning online and in something called "shops".
