HAVE YOU PLAYED JUST CAUSE?
The last edition of this game series was published in 2018 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox ONE, and was well received by audiences and critics. The general formula of the game, which is the reason for its success, can easily be adapted into an action game, since all the titles get the same concept. In Just Cause, you take on the role of an agent or guerilla who, armed with a rope, goes into an open world located on an island or archipelago to stop a regime that subjugates the population. With dozens of optional missions and the ability to do a lot of crazy things with the liberties the game offers, this series excelled more for its funny moments than its story and characters.
