Just Cause 3 - PC Game Review
I recently got Just Cause 3 on Humble Bundle Monthly.
I remember playing the original, and liking it even though it was a bit repetitive (not unlike most open world games, like the Far Cry series).
I tried it, and it is interesting, although it feel wrong in a number of ways - not to mention quite buggy.
One example is that just clicking on items on the map is quite buggy, and usually have offsets. I'd think it was an obscure thing just happening to me but it is quite present in forums.
I also had problems with the cursor leaving the game area in windowed mode, which is pretty dumb.
A small nitpick - why does it use CTRL to go back in menus, when everyone uses ESC???
Also frequently explanations of minor items in play are insufficient.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend the game, but I am still going to insist on playing further.
Update (26/01/2019): I have continued to play the game. The mouse cursor issue is still a factor, but other than that I really like the game. There is a lot of variety, and the wingsuit is pretty nice once you get the upgrades.
Update (01/03/2019): I have completed the game, and played 53 hours. I really liked it, and grown to really like the grappling hook. I do miss the lack of stealth mechanics, they would be really cool with the hook for hard to see attacks.
One interesting thing I didn't notice till almost the end is how much the DLC added to the game. In particular the bavarium wingsuit is a huge change on how you move around. The lightning gun is also ridiculously powerful.
