just cause 3

Racing around the same circuit for hours, trying to beat that one level in a platformer – things like that can get repetitive and tedious after a while, and that’s where Avalanche Studios have come in to save the day. Just Cause 3 is the perfect game to play when you want a break from games.

You are Rico Rodriguez – a “dictator removal specialist” that prides himself on creating chaos everywhere he goes. This time ‘round, he’s back in his home town of Medici, and yep, you guessed it – it’s personal. Take down General Di Ravello with the armada of arms at your disposal; toss grenades, drive overpowered vehicles, and just set the world on fire with a seemingly-endless armory of destructive proportions. If you do, on the other hand, just need time out from the real world, take to the skies furnishing the brand new wingsuit as you glide your way around the island and take in its beautiful vista. Employ the Just Cause series’ trademark grapple to propel yourself onward and upward, and even play the game entirely in the air if you wish. The choice is yours. As much a political commentary as it is a game about blowing monuments up in style, Just Cause 3 is a welcome escape to the destructive tendencies of your inner conscience, otherwise unreachable until now.
