Honestly after Just Cause 4 I wish Avalanche had just made more of the same though. But I petered out after 25 or 30 hours, wishing there were fewer outposts and more to do. The loop was fun, at first-parachute-grapple into the enemy base, blow up all the red-colored machinery, maybe steal a helicopter or a tank to cover my escape. Listen, I was pretty tired of the Just Cause schtick by the end of Just Cause 3. Just Cause 4 is so chaotic, it’s almost asking for missions to break in new and terrible ways every time you load the game. Escort missions are even more annoying though when the people you’re escorting just stop moving and get shot to death, or run straight into an explosion, or stop driving because there’s a random pedestrian in the road. There are a lot of escort missions in Just Cause 4, a problem we’ll talk about in a bit. The quest scripting’s broken on me in four different missions, often through no fault of my own. ![]() Then there are the more problematic bugs. The game also has an annoying habit of listing all the controls on the screen-except the ones you might actually need, like “Throttle Up.” That’s mapped to Shift too, by the way. Vehicles are almost unusable with a mouse and keyboard though, particularly motorcycles and planes. You should just use a controller, which is annoying because the guns work a lot better with a mouse. Also the controls are broken up into about a dozen subcategories for some reason. Remapping controls is also unnecessarily arduous, forcing you to first unmap the key you want before you can map it to a new command. You also use Shift to aim down your gun’s sights, which-again, I can’t stress this enough-I’ve just never seen before ever in the history of PC games. “1.” Then you use “2” and “3” to navigate between sub-menus. My favorite? To open the map you hit the “1” key. The mouse-and-keyboard controls are a disaster, with some decisions so baffling I’ve literally never seen them before. Borderless windowed mode is a mess, sometimes deciding not to lock the mouse to the game window and wreaking all sorts of havoc in the process. Both were running top of the line cards (a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti in one and an RTX 2080 in the other, I believe). ![]() I’ve also loaded the game up on two different machines only to have the graphics settings default to 720p for some reason.
