Just Cause 4 (PC)

Well. It certainly improved alot of things, but also removed alot of things. I honestly went into this game with pretty low expectations. I mean, cmon. It's Just Cause. As long as I can fuck around in the open world, it shouldn't be a problem. I saw reviews about how it's pretty much the same thing with no innovation and...maybe?

I mean, if anything JC3 was just JC2 with better graphics. You still based your conquest around shooting red things. In JC4, this was dropped for a more objective system of taking the zones which was both a good and a bad thing. It removed the tediousness of having to find every base to shoot red things in, but it made things way too simple.

A few pluses tossed in like the darker but still shallow storyline (hoping the DLCs can somewhat alleviate this as it had done in the third game) as well as the beautiful world. Granted it is a step down and the open world is clearly now more obvious as a tech demo for the weather. But I still enjoy driving around the place regardless.

And a few minuses from the annoying grapple customization system, the empty progression (finishing sidequests and levels just gave you more things to drop. Things you will never use 80% of the time), and the distinct lack of physical collectibles makes for exploring the vast world kind of pointless, which is a shame because I truly felt brainlessly immersed in this one.

It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you.
