Really fun open world and gameplay mechanics but unfortunately a really buggy/glitchy game. The story of the game wasn't anything special either to keep me engaged so I gave up on this game after a few weeks.
Sei que é um jogo aclamado pela comunidade e tals, mas a mecânica pra mim é muito fezes
Just Cause 3 is basically the video game equivalent of a Michael Bay movie: huge explosions, ridiculous physics, and just pure over-the-top fun. Blowing up everything in sight? Check. Grappling hooking onto helicopters? Yup. Wingsuiting through the air? Absolutely! It's not the most complex game, the plot is totally forgettable, and it gets repetitive after a while, but if you just want to cause chaotic destruction in a giant open world, this is a cheesy good time.
It's mindless fun, can't go wrong with it
Gameplay - 9/10
Blowing up enemy bases is fun but does get a bit repetitive especially if you go for 100% completion (which I did and fully recommend doing so that you can get the most out of your experience)
Sound - 10/10
No sound compression as far as I could tell and the explosion sound effects are great.
Story - 3/10
Don't play this game for the story as it is pretty 'meh' but still better than Just Cause 4's and I only played the story missions to get 100% completion.
DLC - 8/10
Again, Don't play the DLCs for their stories, but the weapons you get from them however, are great. The wing suit that you get from the Sky Fortress DLC is really fun and can rinse a small base in a few well placed rockets. The ship from Bavariam Sea Heist DLC can beat all the sea races with almost no difficulty. The Eden Spark that you also get from the Bavarium Sea Heist is so fun as you literally summon lightning down on your enemies. The mech that you get from the Mechland Assault DLC can one shot the final boss (Just use the rebel drops to drop it in and chuck Di Ravello into the lava) and is also pretty much needed to get a boat that is stuck in a lake that you need to transport to a garage to chop (You can do it with a helicopter but it is like 10x easier with the mech.
Price
The XXL edition, which includes the base game and all of its DLC, is the one I recommend and is I think £55 but usually goes on sale for about £3 (that's how much i bought the XXL edition for)

The best Just Cause game, simply because it has the best story, world, and gameplay loop. It's a game that feels extremely focused, with all of the systems in place working smoothly with each other. Visually vibrant, much better looking than the first two games, and also has more likeable characters, including improvements to Rico himself. And traversing around the map with the wingsuit just feels awesome. It's not a masterpiece or anything, but a huge improvement for the series, and just a great time overall.
