Story

The story in Just Cause 3 picks up several years after the events of Just Cause 2, with our hero Rico Rodriguez returning to his home country of Medici. Located somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea, the lush and colorful island of Medici has been overrun by a violent government regime. Led by the dictator General Sebastian Di Ravello, an army of militants spend their days oppressing the people of Medici, forcing them to mine a rare material known as Bavarium. Intent on saving Medici from their political stranglehold, Rico teams up with his old friend Mario and spearheads a resistance against Ravello and his goons. The story is somewhat by the numbers, but provides a good setting for climactic battles and general mayhem.

Gameplay

Just Cause 3 is an open-world game that's all about mayhem, and Medici is an awesome place to let loose. This expansive, tropical map is made up of various provinces, each with numerous locations to liberate. Armed with his trusty grappling hook and arsenal of heavy weaponry, Rico must destroy every militant in his path while destroying propaganda, fuel tanks, statues, and more. Like other open-world games, you can drive around with cars or fly using helicopters and jets, but it's far more exciting to explore Medici using Rico's brand new wingsuit. This allows you to soar through the air, flying through caverns and valleys with impressive speed.

In addition to the main story missions littered across Medici, you'll unlock various challenges by liberating new locations. These challenges include vehicle races, wingsuit courses, mayhem challenges, and much more. Depending on your performance in the challenge, you'll earn gear mods, which upgrade Rico's weapons and skills in some wacky ways. With a massive map, dozens of missions, eight types of challenges, and loads of chaos to cause, Just Cause 3 is utterly packed with open-world fun.

Conclusion

While Just Cause 3's story is a bit predictable, the destruction-focused gameplay never grows old. Flying around and blowing stuff up as Rico Rodriguez remains fun for dozens of hours, thanks to a long list of obtainable upgrades and interesting locations to explore. The variety of bite-sized challenges keep the gameplay experience refreshing, while the pure size of Medici constantly beckons you to keep exploring. Rico's grappling hook, parachute, and wingsuit combo makes every moment of Just Cause 3 extremely fun, as even the act of moving around the map feels full of excitement.
