Just Cause A game so big it forgot to fill half of its map. PC Specs • Asus Vivobook 15 • Intel Core i3-1115G4 • 8GB DDR4-3200 • 512GB NVMe SSD Performance: 1080p, locked at 60 FPS on the highest settings. (I probably had Anti-Aliasing disabled since I usually leave it off.) What I Remember + Massive map. For a game released in 2006, the map size is genuinely impressive. + Decent gunplay. The lock-on mechanic works surprisingly well and makes controller gameplay feel smooth. + Vehicle delivery. Being able to request armored vehicles almost anywhere is a really nice feature. + Health pickups. Enemies drop health, so you can keep pushing through firefights without constantly restarting. The Downsides - The map is TOO big. The world feels mostly empty, and the main story doesn't even use all of the available islands. Capturing settlements, military bases, and mansions becomes repetitive very quickly, and the rewards aren't worth the time invested. - Weapon system. You can't permanently own or purchase weapons. Ammo can only be refilled at safehouses, but safehouses themselves don't offer much reason to visit besides being your respawn point. - No health regeneration. Unlike GTA, where shootouts are less frequent, Just Cause is almost nonstop combat. Regenerating health would've made the gameplay flow much better. - The running animation. I'm sorry... but Rico runs like he urgently needs a bathroom. Verdict I played this game years ago, so I probably forgot plenty of details, but one thing I still remember is this: The game is the most enjoyable when you focus on the main story. Trying to clear every location on the map mostly turns into repetitive busywork. Recommended? Yes. Worth full price? No. Wait for a sale.
I didn't finish the game, but I remember playing it on my PlayStation a long time ago. Back then, the graphics and gameplay were fantastic. It's a very good game, even if it doesn't offer the features or graphics we expect today. Overall, it's a must-have experience and a must-have memory if you love old games.
I purchased this game during the steam summer sale for $0.97. It is 20 years old at this point, so graphically it doesn't hold up as well as newer games, and the gameplay is a little clunky at times, but overall Just Cause 1 is a lot of fun to mess around in, especially if you are looking for a way to kill some time. I would say it did a lot of really cool things especially for the time it came out such as the sheer size of the world and the fact that you can use nearly every vehicle in the entire game. Would definitely recommend getting it if it's on sale as it will usually go for under a dollar. 10/10 looking forward to playing the second and third games in this series once I pour some more time into goofing off in this game.
i dont know why the reviews are so bad just cause 1 is almost a 20 year old game not made with huge budget i played it in 2014 the first time and absolutely got in love with the game played it again i did not face any bugs and glitches reportingly faced by other reviewers but maybe glitches can occur though if u want to play a good old sandbox game a must reccomend
