This game series is great, though like Bethesda games, it's held back by weird bugs that their various systems have when interacting. Some times, I'd grapple onto a boat and I'd suddenly be going in a completely different direction. Half of my deaths in this game were from enemies spawning in helicopters right above my own and crashing right into me. Also like Bethesda games though, those bugs didn't keep me from really enjoying myself for the most part.

This game was much shorter than JC3, which I believe comes from removing the need to completely clear out bases before taking over territories. The island also feels smaller, but it's been years since I played JC3, so I can't really compare the island sizes.

The weather weapons are a lot of fun to play around with, though I usually found myself falling back on a few reliable weapons when things got dicey in combat.

The missions started to feel repetitive, and by the end, I just skipped everyone's side missions and focused on clearing out each territory so I could complete the game.

All-in-all, a good game.
