Our leading man can take down entire armies, fly across islands, and even survive the explosion of a grenade. Avalanche’s third destruction sandbox is as much a superhero game as Rocksteady’s Arkham series, at least when it comes to the action. But this time, the explosions are bigger, the toys are more varied, and everything has just become a little bit more ridiculous. He’s a one man army, a superhero in jeans, and he’s done this all before. He blows up military bases for breakfast, and for lunch, he tears down bridges while the army of an evil dictator – moustachioed cartoon villain Di Ravello – drives across. In Just Cause 3, Avalanche’s latest destruction-obsessed action romp, it’s the opening scene.įor Rico Rodriguez, the game’s handsome, bearded protagonist – a professional racer turned tyrant-toppler – it’s just another day at work. If this was a film, it would be the movie’s climax, when the hero does the impossible. The deafening roar of the engines and the air-sucking booms of coutless explosions are my soundtrack. The artillery of a whole nation seems to be focused on my annihilation, while I fire rocket after rocket at the ground below. Bullets and missiles whiz past my head as I speed through the night sky, surfing on a plane.
