Every lightning bolt is a reminder that, while Rico is tough, he isn’t immortal.
Performance is smooth, loading is quick and the explosions look fantastic.
Die Hard’s John McClane might think he had it bad, but he was never asked to liberate entire islands from evil overlords with weather-controlling machines. Thankfully, as Rico Rodriguez, you have a grappling hook, a parachute and a wingsuit to keep you out of harm’s way as you pull off ludicrous stunts and manoeuvres in this crazy open-world sandbox.
The movement in Just Cause 4 is exceptional. Chaining a grapple into the wingsuit to gain speed and altitude is exhilarating, while scaling mountains and skydiving through chasms or skimming rooftops as you pass villages and towns is simply brilliant.
