Playing it on a laptop with an Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor (2.8GHz), an Nvidia GTX 1060, 128GB SSD, and 16GB RAM, Just Cause 4's frame rate stayed between 35 to 40fps in the most demanding of scenarios with all settings maxed out at 1080p. The visuals are fantastic with well-detailed characters and environments. ![]() This caveat aside, Just Cause 4's performance is not too shabby. In Just Cause 4, Square Enix still tries to sign you in (complete with a GDPR clause because it's 2018), though there's no performance penalty this time around. This would tank the game's frame rate and performance, forcing you to play offline. With Just Cause 3, publisher Square Enix forced you to sign-in to its services just so you can get access to its leaderboards. Perhaps one of the biggest points of concern surrounding Just Cause 4 is how it plays. Although Just Cause 4's cut-scenes go a long way in making its events feel cohesive, their execution is jarring at best. The only loading screen you'll see outside of these interruptions is a short one when you boot up the game. These are bookended with loading screens which ruin the experience. Ever so often missions would be punctuated with moments between characters giving you a hint of what to expect next. Where Just Cause 4 does falter however, is with its cut-scenes. Each sport unique enemy types and challenges deal that keeps the action varied. You can switch between using a wing suit to glide across the game world, grapple objects allowing you to leap forward, or simply use a parachute to hover towards your destination.Īt first, swapping between different traversal options on the fly isn't as seamless or intuitive as Spider-Man PS4 or Sunset Overdrive thanks to the number of button presses needed to initiate them, but once you're used to it, traipsing across Solis is second nature while a new AR scanner that seems to be cribbed from Assassin's Creed makes it easy to find missions and challenges around you.Īnd speaking of Solis, it's perhaps the most diverse game world in the Just Cause series to date with areas ranging from snowy mountain bases, sunny urban city centres, dense jungles, and deserts. These options give you new ways to complete objectives and add a welcome element of creativity to the proceedings.Īside from a heady mix of missions and new gameplay mechanics, there's the traversal. You can attach balloons to the top of a jeep, tank, or even an explosive barrel while putting rockets on the side and coupling it with a satellite dish using retractors to create a colossal flaming wreck in the middle of a firefight. This time around Just Cause 4 lets you use your grapple hook to attach balloons, rockets, and retractors to any in-game object. ![]() Previous games had you using a grapple hook to latch onto surfaces, take down enemy soldiers, or simply tether explosive barrels together. Be it those that tie-in to the main story, or others that exist simply to give you new grapple hook modifications to play with, there's enough variety to keep you going.Īnd while half the fun is in its entertaining missions, the other half is in some new gameplay mechanics. Just Cause 4's missions are a varied lot. You'll reduce army bases to rubble, partake in elaborate chase sequences right out of 80s action movies, and sail right into the eye of a manmade storm. Like past entries, Just Cause 4 has you aiding a local resistance to take down an oppressive ruler, though unlike its predecessors, it manages to keep things interesting. ![]() Despite every game in the Just Cause series sporting the same premise, Just Cause 4 is perhaps the most bombastic expression of it. In Just Cause 4, you'll glide, grapple, and parachute your way across the exotic fictional country of Solis to liberate it from the grips of an ironclad dictatorship. Announced at E3 2018, action-adventure game Just Cause 4 for PS4, Xbox One, and Windows PC puts you back in the role of series protagonist Rico Rodriguez.
