Every time I boot up Just Cause 3, there are a few minutes of absolute brilliance. An average in-game journey might begin by catapulting via grappling hook into a perfect backflip before soaring into the atmosphere on an indestructible parachute. Properly alternating between grappling hook, parachute, and wingsuit keeps my momentum going. Before I realize it, I've reached my target: a red and silver depot filled with papier-mâché gas tanks and fascists.
Just Cause 3 on the PC is a fireball,
digitally and metaphorically. In the third entry in the series,
pseudo-protagonist Rico Rodriguez has returned to the land where he was raised.
His mission: to indiscriminately lay waste to its state-run infrastructure by
means that, while maybe not strictly necessary, are certainly many and
varied.
Just Cause 3 matches the frenetic,
destructive gameplay tone of Just Cause 2, though the story is a bit
sillier this time around. Just Cause 3 isn't totally devoid of
pathos, though. There are some surprisingly thoughtful moments here and
there particularly where "The Agency's" exploitation of Medici's
rebel natives are concerned.
Just Cause 3, on the other hand, presents a big
jumble of fully controllable systems that, when used in the proper order, make
wonderful things happen. Medici is still a physics sandbox, as my time spent in
ditches pinned beneath burning ATVs can attest. But that's balanced out by all
the times I boosted an exploding jeep off of a cliff, only to bail out into a
parachute.
