Summary: If you liked Just Cause 2, you will most likely enjoy Just Cause 3. If you're anything like me, you'll enjoy spending hours mindlessly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around with explosions, physics and stunts and this game gives you ample means to do so.

My impression is good so far, I'm having a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to spending lots of time messing around. If you buy this game expecting a deep and introspective work of art, look elsewhere. If you buy it and are looking for a fun game to experiment with and show your friends, this is the game for you.

Pros:
- Beautiful graphics and map design (love the vivid colors, lush landscapes and the sea is gorgeous.)
- Very fun gameplay (explosions, flying, and killing, oh my)
- Lots to work towards if you are a completionist
- Non-linear so you can progress past the missions or ignore them altogether after a point
- Lots of Easter Eggs
- Civilian cars can be captured and then ordered via black market supply drops
- Lots of models of cars, planes, tanks, and weapons to use
- Super corny voice-acting (JC staple)
- Sound effects are high quality
- Visual effects are stunning
- The new Wingsuit navigates really smoothly and is very fun once you get the hang of it

Cons:
- Occasional bugs (nothing game-breaking for me as of yet, but I've had to restart a few missions due to bugged objectives)
- Physics are wonky as hell (can be a pro in some cases, it's more geared towards fun than realism but mostly proves clunky and strange)
- Driving has some of the worst physics I've come across in any game (motorcycles are nearly impossible to drive)
- Moving rico around can be a hassle and interacting with vehicles or items can be a pain
- Not much depth story or character wise, but this is to be expected
- Always online can prove to be a nuisance if your connection is spotty (constant reconnection attempts)

All in all I am happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone considering it who knows what they are in for in a Just Cause game. I will update this review as I put in more hours.
