Just Cause™ 3

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.

10/10 Such good graphics/story. it's funny yet packed with action. you can do so many things it's really just up to your imagination.

This game will forever live in my happy memory palace. :D

"Just Cause" more like "Just Crash" in my 15 hrs of play I have witnessed numerous crashes. But gameplay's good and i like the liberation missions it's different from other games.. Well 6/10 if it doesn't crash that would be good..

Nice game and excellent graphics all the just cause series from just cause to just cause 4...just cause team has done nice work.....improved many things from version to version everyone can play this game....

10/10 game

fuck the land mech assault dlc tho, shit is so fucking boring

In my opinion a worthy continuation on the formula of mindless explosive fun we've seen with Just Cause 2 in 2010. This one features new gadgets and mechanics, better presentation style, slightly less stupid story, and faster gameplay. Turn your brain off for a few weekends and have fun. With the current sale on, you just can't go wrong with it.

If you like explosions, this is a just do it game and the story isn't bad

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.

oh man, i mean its not better than just cause 2, because it has nostalgia, but that map, the entire game and just the new grapple abilities is everything, even just cause 4 couldnt beat it, well just cause 4 is fucking worse than the first one, but holla, this game is the W

Really fun game, great destruction though it's weird your trained soldier has to learn how to aim

great game better than JC 4 best in the franchise for $0.70 its totally absolutely fucking worth it

Always online, pauses to "log in" every hour, this sometimes crashes the game.

This is a sandbox/destruction game hidden as a 3rd person shooter. I think. I dunno, it's fun to blow shit up.

Beautiful open world action game with lot of chaos stuff to do. The travelling system is great, i love wingsuit gliding when reaching far destination. This is one of the perfect games for those tired playing competitive thing and want to do some riot in the city. This game also had zero penalty if u knocked out in free roam mode, also they will refill your ammo and you can try to start chaos again.

A complete stress buster package. Blindly go for it. Best game of this franchise. Just install. Just shoot. Just Just fly. Just blast because it's JUST CAUSE!!!!!!!!!!

For context, I originally purchased this game back when it came out and my PC was terrible. Since then I have purchased a new PC and I will tell you right now this game is really good!

[The Environment]
This game is set on a fictional island inspired by the Mediterranean and it shows. The island is a treat to explore and there's even two smaller islands that you can explore. With the implementation of a WINGSUIT you can really enjoy and appreciate the beautiful vistas and countryside while blowing up things.

[The Gameplay]
I will say this RIGHT NOW... I would highly suggest getting some kind of Xbox controller for this game because it is a lot more comfortable to control the player character especially when wingsuiting around the open world. I have died several times in this game due to the enemy NPC's but I always felt it was because of a mistake I made or something like that so fare warning incase you hate games where you can die easily.

[Story]
You don't play a Just Cause game for the story but it was still enjoyable in my opinion.

[DLC]
I got all the DLC when it was on sale for dirt cheap and it gives you a wingsuit that basically lets you fly around like Super-Man or Iron-Man. Plus It also gives you mech's and a gun that lets you summon thunderbolts.

[Overall]
It is a game I would recommend since it is only £12 now and it is extremely worth it in my opinion.

Just Cause 3 is an Open World Story Game which has definetly a beautiful map and a lot of Action.
Physics and a fun creative destruction makes the game very enjoyable and fun.
Just Cause 3 has some of the best and most empowering explosions that what's this game is about, grappling hook the enemies and blow them up. It's fun!
