It s called the Air Propulsion Gun, and, as the name suggest, it shoots air instead of bullets. Much of them are pure filler, but one small addition-available as part of the preposterously named Black Market Boom Pack-changed how I interacted with that world. Rather than large content packs, all of the game s optional extras are small, seemingly insignificant microtransactions. It feels strange to praise Just Cause 2 s DLC, because much of it isn t noteworthy. Two things expand that sandbox in delightful ways: mods and DLC. Its structure is more suited to improvisational violence, but you have only a limited set of options with which to create it. You have a single, weak tether, and a finite amount of regular, non-rocket-powered C4. The tools that do exist are even more basic and restrictive. Much like its sequel, Just Cause 2 is surprisingly short on ways to push against the outer limits of creativity. All you need to do is look at its predecessor. Putting a stream of bullets into endless waves of people wasn t fun to watch in Rambo IV, and it isn t much fun to do here.įortunately, I don t think JC3 is beyond saving. In the context of an absurd action sandbox, the game s many assault rifles feel painfully dull. Elsewhere, though, it s all pretty standard. There s the opportunity to upgrade your infinite C4 into a rocket-powered physics toy, which is an idea of unparalleled genius. There are the tethers, which are ridiculous. There s the wingsuit, which is brilliant. But worse than the failings of JC3 s progression systems is how unimaginative its tools are.

Overthrowing evil dictators should only feel like a job if it s your actual job. It s an incredibly repetitive, grindy experience that turns chaotic action into a chore. I was disappointed with Just Cause 3 for many of the same reasons that Andy outlined our 67% review. Today, Phil's blown away by JC2's best weapon. In Why I Love, PC Gamer writers pick an aspect of PC gaming that they love and write about why it's brilliant.
