It’s all very whimsical (David Tennant voices an imprisoned actor forced into being the propaganda guy assuring the populace that everything is fine, for crying out loud) and makes absolutely no attempt to hide the fact that Just Cause 3 is a game about explosions. Rico comes out with some wonderful/dreadful one-liners, like “No charge!” when blowing up a power generator, and there’s possibly the most fantastically unusual use of “Fuck you” ever, which I suspect every other review is going to spoil.Īctually, I’m not sure “cartoonishly evil” goes far enough. The characters are more like caricatures, the cutscenes are mercifully brief, and the dialogue tends towards the campy hilarity of 80s action movies. There is a plot buried in there somewhere, and one or two stabs are had at establishing characters, but no serious attempts are ever made.
Your job is to go in there and blow everything up, because that makes everything better. Like with the arcade games of old, all it really needs is a setting – and that setting is a set of Mediterranean islands making up the Republic of Medici, homeland of the game’s protagonist Dave Scorpion Rico Rodriguez, and currently under the rule of the cartoonishly evil General Di Ravello. It’s a game about blowing shit up in the most entertaining ways you can think of. Which is great, because… look, it’s Just Cause. This screenshot pretty much perfectly encapsulates the game.
