WHAT WE'RE
PLAYING
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.
