Just Cause™ 3

Incredible action game. One of the best I have ever played. Truly awesome freedom of movement, cool weapons, the best explosions in any game I've ever seen (except maybe helldivers 2). Some downsides are the missions are a bit simplistic and overly easy. They don't incentivize you to use other vehicles besides the wing suit to get around. But overall it is 100% a must play action game. If you like blowing stuff up and mindless fun (and destruction ... sorta reminds me of red faction but not at that level)... this is your game!

Amazingly fun game. And the story is quite enjoyable if you play all the way through!

have over 300 hours on xbox this game is amazing no matter the platform, only issue is its loading screen at the beginning is unnecessarily long, fortunately there is a modification you can make to skip it, like on console.

I've been playing it sense 2016 , better than just cause 4 , good story , good cutscenes, good gameplay.

60FPS on max settings on Deck work fine. It'll drop to the 40 realm occasionally, but you won't notice it when performance overlay is off, no stutter whatsoever.
I'd recommend disabling motion blur though, it's already blurry enough as it is.

Best free roaming destruction pron of many I've played yet, even though AI is buggy as hell, but in a funny way. It's just ultra fun and blowing stuff up looks amazing and feels very satisfying. Can recommend all DLC too.

Enjoyable game with cool gameplay. If you like to turn your brain of and just destroy some stuff you are at the right adress with this game. Don't expect to much of the story, the main reason playing this game is it's gameplay.

OMG this game is the best. I've spent too many hours just bavarium bombing every can, oil tank, generator, and town I could see!

Super fun game that lets your destructive imagination absolutely go wild. It's so much fun.

I really love Just Cause 3.
It’s so fun to play. I like flying around, messing things up, and just doing whatever I want. The game always makes me feel good, and I never get bored of it. It’s one of my favorite games ever.

✅ What I liked:
-Amazing atmosphere: The overall vibe of the game is incredible. The bright Mediterranean setting, the music, and the chaos all create a unique mood that really pulled me in.

-Relaxing background game: I often played it with a show running in the background, and it still felt immersive and enjoyable. It’s one of those games you can get lost in without needing to focus too hard.

-Freedom of movement: Getting from place to place is fast and fun thanks to the wingsuit, grappling hook, and various vehicles. It’s one of the few open-world games where travel isn’t boring.

-Satisfying destruction: Blowing up enemy bases, fuel tanks, and bridges never stops being fun. The destruction is flashy, responsive, and central to the gameplay.

Fun vehicle mechanics: Driving or flying in this game is a blast. The vehicles are varied and easy to enjoy.

❌ What could be better:
-Repetitive mission design: Some missions and objectives feel similar after a while. But if you enjoy experimenting and just goofing around in the world, it stays fun for much longer.

-Weak story: The plot and characters aren’t particularly deep or memorable, but that’s not really the point of the game.

Hey Rico, I 100%'d this game on PS4 when it originally released. Blow shit up and wreak havoc in a massive, open world. Pure, unfiltered fun. Better than Just Cause 4 but still doesn't compare to my beloved Just Cause 2.

Just Cause 3 is a joyous, explosive sandbox that rewards creativity and exploration. Whether you’re liberating towns, racing through the skies, or just seeing what happens when you tether a goat to a gas canister, there’s never a dull moment. If you’re looking for a game that lets you cut loose and have a great time, Just Cause 3 is an easy recommendation.

a very fun game still after so many years this one is my favourite compared with other just cause games

I remember the first time I played Just Cause 3.
It was late 2015. I was twenty-two, my soul still restless, my heart starting to understand the strange ache nostalgia can bring.
That Christmas, I bought it for myself — a small gift, a way to feel a little freer.
A blue case, a fresh disc for my PS4.
But it wasn’t just a game.
It was a promise.
It was Just Cause 3.

I installed it, pressed play, and the real world blurred into heat and sunlight.
I spent every hour of that day flying over Medici’s blue seas and crumbling fortresses.
The wing-suit dives, the mountains, the ridiculous explosions stitched themselves into my memory forever.
I wasn’t playing it.
I was living it.

And then came so many outposts, so many wingsuit runs from one island to another.
Endless moments tethering, grappling, laughing at the absurdity of it all.
I knew every cliff, every hidden shrine, every military base ready to fall.
And without any map open on my phone — because discovery felt better that way — I made Medici mine.
It was my world.
It was home.

Sometimes my friends would come over, crowding around the small TV.
Passing the controller after every insane stunt.
I still remember one night we tried to glide across the entire map without touching the ground.
We never made it. We laughed until our sides hurt.
It was our refuge.
It was our bridge.

And now, almost a decade later, I go back.
The world has changed. I have changed. I'm thirty-one now.
And some of those friends… they are just voices from another time.

Yet every time I boot up Just Cause 3, it feels like lighting a spark under the ashes of youth.
The framerate dips, the controls wobble — but the heart is untouched.
Every rocket, every gliding dive through burning skies speaks a language only memory knows.
It’s the voice of freedom.
It’s the echo of laughter late into the night.

Just Cause 3 isn’t just a game.
It’s a time machine.
It’s a second chance to touch, even for a moment, the weightless magic we thought we had lost.

And as Rico soars through the golden dusk, I remain there.
Fingers steady on the keyboard...
And a tear I cannot tell — whether it’s sorrow or gratitude.

ello. i'm clive. good game, killed lots of italians like back in the war. large explosives make me feel like i'm in a michael pond film. enjoyable

I remember playing this on my xbox and it was fun still is really fun and it goes on-sale for like 4 bucks

10/10 Game the gameplay and story is fantastic. I just hope that the person who worked on the driving mechanics for this game was fired and never works on another game in their life. Only L about the game.

Top 3 best open world Games out there. Who cares if the story is mid and cringe. Blow shit up

Pure unhinged mayhem of the best kind. I keep coming back to this game over and over again. Plot? Evil fascist dictator and it's time to take 'em down. Absolutely the best of the series.

Pretty good game, however is more of a filler. You can't get your entertainment off of this alone. You need something else, however if this kind of game is good for your schedule, like when you have other things you like to do, and actually get outside, definitely recommended.

Just Cause 3 is pure, unfiltered fun. It’s chaotic, over-the-top, and absolutely doesn’t take itself seriously—and that’s exactly what makes it brilliant. The wingsuit + grapple combo is still one of the most satisfying movement systems ever put in a game, and the explosions? Glorious.

Compared to Just Cause 4, this game feels like it actually had soul. JC4 stripped away the charm, limited the destruction, and turned the weather system into a gimmick. JC3, on the other hand, lets you blow up an entire island nation with style. It's colorful, full of personality, and just way more fun.

If you want a ridiculous open-world playground done right, skip 4—this is the one to play.

Very fun physics, DLCs are great, overall great game

crazy, humorous and hilarious "over the top" action game in a beautiful Mediterranean setting with crazy story, nice graphics and 100% action on land in air and on sea whether you are parachuting, wing-suiting, grappling, exploding things and shooting bad guys..
very fun to play!

Classic game, loved playing it on console, reacquired on PC. JC3 and JC2 are the peak of the series, where I feel like JC4 tried to do too much. Just pure simple blowing shit up and flying around Medici in every vehicle conceivable. Highly recommend.

very fun i have not completed the story yet but right now its very fun the map design and the stunning towns and villages and bases and the dlcs are very good and i recommend also buying the dlc it makes the game much better

bought the game for the gliding, kept it for rico's aura

This game plays like it's based off the word chaos and I love it. There so many weapons and vehicles in the game that just feel stupidly fun and op to use, yet the game still has challenge. It doesn't get repetitive, the story is awesome and the medici (the place this game takes place in) radio man just tops it all off. Amazing game

when this came out it was just another mid-tier open world action game. fun, but hardly GOTY Artistic fare like 'Horizon Zero Forbidden Dawn' or 'Last of Us Part Deux'. kinda just for kids or blowing some steam on Steam.

back then JUST CAUSE 3 was thought of as the bargain basement FAR CRY.

but today? I say it's better at what it does than ANY of the Far Cry games, even the ones I like. I play this now and it's like the glorious future. the freedom of choice and the peerless movement really hasn't been met since. this has aged unbelievably well; it's really quite an amazing trick, going back in time to a time when chaotic free-form fun was rewarded. and the political GOTY Nomination-like political allegory going on was about as ambitious as "So okay, dictator guy is the bad guy. And so in the game you kill the bad guy and blow up everything. Okay? Okay. Go for it."

which in 2025 to me *is* GOTY material. I'm not saying nothing of value comes out anymore in a similar bracket of budget, but ... did you ever play Just Cause 4? woof.

not a meme review. I actually think is one of the most amazingly systems-intensive action games I've ever played. the graphics have held up perfectly, it runs without any issues at all,

this game is JUST fun. why try and wingsuit through the tunnel without the game offering any actual reward? just 'cause. on the next Steam Sale have fun on ten bucks that probably includes the DLC and everything.

why? just 'cause. 'cause it's fun and goofy and hilarious. just 'cause it's not up its own ass with grand social platitudes. just 'cause it's only concerned with giving you and your friends an hilarious, tight, open world sandbox action adventure. which these days, to me, is totally a Just Cause.

H I G H L Y Recommend. I'm amazed at how good this one both is and always was. I bet it's held up a LOT more fun than most of the Artistic GOTY Nominees that year. get it on sale.

Explosive freedom with a Mediterranean flair.

Just Cause 3 doesn’t just give you a sandbox—it gives you a powder keg, a grappling hook, and the keys to the kingdom. As Rico Rodriguez returns to his homeland of Medici, you’re handed a playground packed with high-octane stunts, wild physics, and a glorious disregard for subtlety.

From the first wingsuit dive off a coastal cliff to toppling a dictator’s statue with your grapple cable, Just Cause 3 makes it clear: chaos is the mission, and style is mandatory. The moment-to-moment gameplay is all about momentum and improvisation. The refined traversal system, combining parachute, wingsuit, and grappling hook, turns verticality into a tool of expression—soaring across mountains, leaping off vehicles mid-chase, and crashing into enemy outposts never gets old.

The real joy, though, is in destruction. Just Cause 3 treats explosive spectacle as its core mechanic, and it delivers in spades. Military bases, fuel tanks, radar dishes—they're all opportunities for cinematic carnage. Few games make you feel as empowered to carve your own path through missions, whether by stealthy sabotage or all-out ballistic mayhem.

Medici itself is a stunning open-world setting. The island is vibrant and massive, from serene coastal towns to fortified mountain bunkers. Its Mediterranean personality adds charm between the firefights, and the visuals—especially the lighting and vistas—give the chaos a strangely beautiful backdrop.

Yes, the story is over-the-top and intentionally cheesy, but it fits the tone perfectly. The game knows what it is: a blockbuster action movie you get to direct. While some missions can feel repetitive, the sheer variety in how you approach objectives makes each encounter feel fresh—especially with a little creativity.

Performance at launch had its bumps, but over time, optimization and patches have brought the experience up to a much smoother standard. And with an active modding community, players can keep the chaos fresh long after the credits roll.

In short, Just Cause 3 is a love letter to action, explosions, and unrestrained fun. It’s not about realism—it’s about ridiculous possibilities. If you’re the kind of player who sees a fuel depot and immediately thinks, “How big can I blow this up?”, this game is for you.

Game is superb! If you like open world games then, it's a good choice. But, don't expect as same as from GTA.

If GTA's only objective was to destroy everything, this game would be it. The game does get extremely repetitive though and a bit dull after not even clearing a quarter of the map.

This game is stupid fun. Took a fair amount of work, but nothing in it is hard. I enjoyed blowing things up.
Cleared the entire map.

you could spend 24 hours straight playing this and you wouldn't get bored. Better than GTA and probably my favorite game.

fun cool explodions and other stuf

ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!!!

If this was released today I would nominate this for GOTY
Best free roam game with cars

ALSO NUKES??? YES PLEASE!!!

also grappling hook go brrrrr

Mods for this game are gorgeous

Over the top action in a gigantic map with tons of mechanics, absolutely fun in every way

i remember seeing a playthru of this game back in the day, finally getting the chance to play it myself. the first playthru i watched was on console too so i hope the pc graphics will be better too

Best game of the series. Only vehicle FOV kinda sucks which makes it weird to handle driving and keyboard controls (especially in a plane) are pretty bad - gamepad really recommended.

just buy just cause its just cause game TF U WAITING FOR

it's dumb fun if that's what you want. Does some things better than JC2 but also a few thingd worse. At least it tried some new things and is its own thing entirely fresh from the previous game unlike 4.

if you plan on relaxing in this game, you will fail. Its fun for the first ten hours and then its just running back and fourth to every rig on the edges of the map. And dont even try completing this game, the goddamit bavarium nukes will kill you in a second (Falco Cent-Com)

DUDE. So fun, super destructive very interactive environments and wonderful combat system. It does however really want you fight without the usage of guns; guns work but its way easier to kill enemies with the signature grapple/tether hook and/or explosives. Super nice that all vehicles have infinite ammo including tanks, helis, and jets. Story and writing is complete ass but the combat and replayability makes up for it completely. Got through 50 hours into the game and i haven't even finished it yet.
100% Recommend. RAAAH

Its the last good game of the series. 4th was meh. This one has its fair share of issues and it crashes a lot. But overall its an amazing game to blow shit up

ngl they need to remake this but THE CONTROL ARE ASS and gun play is also ass need a remake or a mod that make this game control and gun play better also ai retarded

One of my most favourite games, insane physics and storyline. Similar vibe to the Far Cry series.

JC3 is probably the best entry in the series. Ignore the characters and the plot and just enjoy causing mayhem in a big open world. PC version is a bit buggy but still serviceable on modern rigs. Whatever you do, don't buy JC4.

An open world game doesnt have a saving slot? be ready to always create a new game, riding mechanism isreally bad, for gods sake dev the enemy shoot and disturb me in collecting rock mission? what do want me to do idiot? collect the rock or shoot the enemy?.

I liked the graphics and sound but not the gameplay.

Just a fun sandbox game really. The novelties wear off after awhile but there is a story that you can participate in when that happens I guess. Flying around and blowing stuff up is pretty fun though.

This game is exploding my PC...
Chaos Point : 100000

10/10
Ready to blew up another PC

Started Gaming With this Revisiting it Brings Nostalgia Also Graphics very good For A 10 year Old Game

A Good Game for those who like open world game with superhero ability.
