Just Cause 3
Just Cause 3
Sorti le 30 novembre 2015, Just Cause 3 est un jeu d'aventure développé par Avalanche Studios et édité par Square Enix, disponible sur PC, PlayStation 4 et Xbox One. L'intrigue se déroule dans la république méditerranéenne de Medici, sous le joug du dictateur General Di Ravello, et place le joueur dans la peau de Rico Rodriguez, chargé de renverser le régime par tous les moyens. Le titre propose plus de 400 miles carrés d'espace ouvert, du ciel aux profondeurs marines, ainsi qu'un large arsenal d'armes, de gadgets et de véhicules destinés à semer le chaos de manière créative et explosive.
La presse a globalement bien accueilli le jeu, comme en témoignent les citations de USgamer saluant un plaisir de jeu renforcé par l'ajout du wingsuit et de modifications d'équipement, ou de Gamer.nl décrivant Just Cause 3 comme synonyme de liberté et de fun. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic et Steam ont pour leur part exprimé un plaisir simple et répété, évoquant un jeu « particulièrement idiot » ou résumant l'expérience par « Kaboom = Game good ». Le titre affiche un score Metacritic de 74 et un score OpenCritic de 75, pour une note agrégée de 74,76.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Just Cause 3 is a lot like Just Cause 2, but a host of additions including the wingsuit and gear mods make the game a joy to play. Add in some amazing graphics, stunning explosions, and a huge world and you have a nearly perfect title. One only brought low by online connection issues. »
« Just Cause 3 stands for freedom and fun. Every gameplay element is working towards one and the same goal: doing whatever you feel like. Just Cause 3 is simply a game you must play, it would surprise us if you wouldn't like it. »
« Just Cause 3 is a delightfully straightforward game. It gives players a whole lot of explosive tools and then just leans back, waiting to see what you are going to blow up next. While light on true innovations apart from the fantastic wingsuit, Just Cause 3 is an infinitely more finely-tuned version of the silly action blockbuster we've all come to expect from the series. »
« 2015 was a great year for big open world games and Just Cause 3 is the cherry on top of that cake. JC3 isn’t groundbreaking or revolutionary but it’s super enjoyable, pretty and huge. (Both console versions are plagued by technical issues.) »
« It boasts some great improvements over the previous game of the series, but does not evolve the formula in any significant way. It looks better and lets you glide in a wingsuit, but its scale is not surprising anymore. It lets you unleash wonderful chaos in unscripted skirmishes, but its story missions fail to enrich the experience. All the same it is my kind of game. I love playing with its systems, I appreciate the effort put into JC3 and I return to Medici from time to time for condensed doses of havoc. [01/2016, p.48] »
« The most bombastic open-world title of the year is like a playground that works better, the more you lower your brain activity. Brain off, fun on. »
« Just Cause 3 delivers what it does best: chaos and destruction. Though the world and gameplay feel monotonous at times, the wingsuit and other new additions are fun. But still no multiplayer, really?! »
« Just Cause 3 is a playground where you get to be a physics-defying force of destruction, and its loop of liberating dozens of towns across this enormous scenic world would’ve gotten old much quicker if the combat wasn’t so full of options for free-form mayhem. Getting the most out of it requires some creativity and tolerance for performance bugs on your part, so come expecting to make at least some of your own fun. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« It's a cool game, a great game, what more could you want? I really don't know why more games like this aren't coming out. It's very enjoyable and there's so much to do. »
« A fun admission in the series, spent most of my time parachute gliding with a machine gun & RPG to liberate the bases. »
« Great game, horrid that jc4 cursed the series to never get another game, massive map that isnt quite to empty to feel bad, alot of stuff to collect and quite fun to get, nearing 100% completion, the missions are the worst part of the game but the story is very interesting and makes you want to just watch it as a movie instead of playing the missions »
« It's overrated. The gamplay, world are good, but the storytelling is bad and the game is too repetitive. I have to liberate areas so many times to unlock missions. It is frustrating. »
« who cares about repetitive gameplay like genuinely, this game makes you feel like a badass with complete freedom to do whatever the **** you want, and the movement mechanics are some of the absolute best ever »
« 8.3/10 Just Cause 3 refines the chaos with smoother traversal, adding the wingsuit and improved grappling mechanics that make movement exhilarating. Explosions are bigger and more satisfying, and liberation missions feel rewarding. However, performance issues and a repetitive mission structure hold it back. The story remains forgettable, but the sheer fun of causing destruction keeps it highly entertaining. »
« The island of medici is a good setting but game mediocre storytelling and gameplay let down urge to complete the game and explore medici. Only good thing in this game are explosions felt so real. Graphics are not what i expected for a 2015 game »
« The more I played this game the more I realized how average it really is. Yes, it's pretty cool to be able to blow everything up, and the weapons and tools provided for doing so are pretty awesome, but nearly everything else including the story, graphics, traversal, and the wonky camera and grappling hook are just underwhelming. »
