Just Cause 2

Pretty fun sandbox, main plot is kinda short and not memorable but that's not the main purpose of the game, the main purpose is to cause chaos and havoc all over the place and that is done really well. It's enjoyable for many hours but with progess, enemies start to get stronger and that is, where I think it gets worse. We need to take breaks from carnage to hide/run away, as it's surprisingly easy to die, even on normal difficulty - fortunately besides respawning in one of the bases death doesn't punish us. For such a dated game we get a huge map with hundreds locations filled with collectibles and destrucibles, 75 'racing' challenges and 49 side-missions, over 100 vehicles (land, water, air), surprisingly the guns are kinda boring and don't come in many types. There is however an interesting mechanic that includes using a 'zipline', we can pull ourselves to certain places, climb things, pull things, tether things to each other and so on, which with a little bit of creativity can lead to many fun situations. I've played the game for almost 40 hours and managed to do only 60% of the content, that alone shows how big is the world. I'd recommend it for anyone who just wants to destroy stuff without thinking too much. Do not expect it to be similar to GTA or RDR, plot is not really important here.

Лучше, чем первая часть! Остров, хаос и свобода. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2813498581

An amazing classic from 2010. I played this on my xbox 360 and now on steam. It's a bit dated, and may need some tuning to get running properly, but after that, it's great chaotic fun.

Highly recommended! This game features a massive open world packed with things to explore and destroy. If you enjoy open-world action games with plenty of chaos and freedom, this is definitely one to check out.

Старый добрый Just Cause второй! Хороша в любое время!

Hot garbage

The game that made the franchise, Just Cause 2 still holds up today as one of the most fun sandboxes ever to be released; no wonder its developers are endlessly trying to recapture this lightning in a bottle. A lot can be said about what this game does right, but to me the main thrust is that Just Cause 2 truly gets what playing a sandbox should be like. The immense map, varied environments dotted with destructible enemy infrastructure and large collection of fragile vehicles means that your every journey will be a new experience, an odyssey of calamities wrought by you, the truly terrifying Rico Rodriguez. The game's story not only doesn't get in the way, but actively encourages this behaviour; the premise is that you're a CIA agent sent to a Southeast Asian island dictatorship with the sole goal of destabilizing it by wrecking as much stuff as possible; there are missions, but they're more like small challenges to get you to play the game in interesting ways and are often open enough as to not restrict your mindless fun. The only exception are the faction mission, which are so standardised and run-of-the-mill as to feel like the developers put them in because they had to; like vegetables on your plate, they are the small unpleasantries which you must necessarily get past to enjoy an endless dessert of obliteration. With the multiplayer mod bundled in for free, you really need to do yourself a favour and buy this game whenever you can - if you think you don't like sandboxes, this is the only true benchmark against which to test that belief.
