Series Just CAUSE recently hit twelve years. During this time, Riko Rodriguez has committed several revolutions in the banana republics, he became noticeably old and, importantly, became much more serious than in his youth. According to the authors, all the actions of Rico led to events Just Cause 4. So you can expect that the plot will be paid no less than attention than explosions and flights on Wingsyut ..

Towards the storm
The new place of action is the South American island of Solis. Of course, there was already something similar in the series, but Just Cuse 4 promises no less colorful than in the third part, landscapes. The territory is divided into four large biomes: a jungle in the east, a desert in the west, a plain with a huge city in the south and snowy mountains in the center.
Tornado sucks entire camps, but Rico just flies next to him
Each bioma rages its natural cataclysm. For example, the most advertised of them – Thornado – can only be found on the plain. It moves very lazy and does not pose a particular danger to Rico, so you feel like the main character of the film "Robbery in a hurricane" (yes, such a film really exists) is unlikely to come out. Inside the funnel, in the "Eye of the storm", physically cannot be hit – you can only circle next to the stream. For the main attraction of the new game is weak. The local disasters turned out to be too fruitable; Unless lightning can modify the ardor of Rico a little.
The weather on the island is controlled by Project ILLAPA – four meteorological stations next to each cataclysm. The central station, responsible for the snow storm, is protected by the only weapon on the island that can quickly kill Rico
At least one plot task is associated with each cataclysm, which is not bad. But how good these tasks are, a completely different question. In fact, all missions can be divided into three ordinary categories: give, bring and kill. Sorry, I almost forgot! There is a fourth category, “blow up”: for example, when you need to destroy the generator or blow up the tank.
Hands-kruki
By tradition, the authors do not limit you in actions in any way. Quite the opposite: in Just Cuse 4, they only do what they add new opportunities. The same hook-cat reached a completely new level: if earlier you could use it only by (relatively) intended purpose, now its functions can be adjusted to your play style.
You have the right to configure everything: from the strength of the traction to the height of the flight and the power of the explosions
You can change the length of the cable or make it contract not only automatically, but also on command. Or make the objects attracted by him push off from each other, like a pinball balls, this will come in handy, for example, if you have an irresistible desire to “fly” on a motorcycle extravagant.
In addition, Rico can calibrate in detail each aspect of three main functions. Hook upgrades are combined into sets, between which you can quickly switch if necessary, you will not have to dig into the menu for a long time. And the reactive accelerators, which in the third part occupied a separate slot and were remarkably attached to cars and cows, now have several modes of operation and did not necessarily explode after the development of the resource.
Square Enix: Rico will remain a cool guy, just this time he will stand out among other cool guys. Anyway, the most cool thing in stories about the heroes of the militants is when they sit in a puddle once or two.
Down with the dictatorship!
This time no dictators. Now our main enemy – PMC “Black Hand”, led by the mysterious charismatic mercenary Gabriella Morales. As it turned out, with the disappearance of Father Rico, everything is not so simple: the organization and its weather management experiments were somehow involved in the incident. Just Cause 4 is not the first game in the series where the Black Hand appears, it just used to act in the background, somewhere in the shade of Rico's adventure. According to the assurances of the developers, this is the most dangerous opponent with whom Rico had to clash, and he could not cope alone. In addition, Senor Morales is supposedly "the same as Rico". In what sense – while the secret.
Nothing in the game is able to kill Rico instantly. You can become a groma-rod person, rush under the caterpillars of the tank or fall from the stratosphere on a motorcycle (yes, you can do it), but you will not get fatal damage, but only the maximum possible
Hordes of soldiers "black hand" use different tactics. Grenadiers and ghosts joined the usual snipers and grenade launchers. The latter, for example, pushing for speed, dexterity and ability to become invisible. However, a truly dangerous enemy is a titanium, a tenacious and extremely nasty fighter in a heavy ecos. In addition to the prohibitively thick armor, in its arsenal there is an electromagnetic rifle that without any problems will drive Rico flying on a parachute or wingsyut.
Of course, one of the opponents is one of the opponents, but, attacking in large groups, they will at least cause troubles
Military affairs
Remember, in Just Cause 3 To free the region, it was required to save chaos points? In the name of the revolution, we destroyed enemy bases, infrastructure and countless hordes of opponents. And they did it quite often … The whole game, more precisely. In the fourth part, everything will remain more or less, with the exception of new mechanics, who promises to diversify the process-the "army of chaos". Chaos glasses have not gone anywhere, but now it depends on how many people will join your army, inspired by the exploits of Rico. Rebels can be given orders for the attack or defense of a particular location. In this case, the front line is dynamically moving
Moving around the world with the help of Wingsyut and hook-cats are still the best part of the game. Of course, after chaos generated by players ..
In addition, the authors slightly redesigned the system of delivery of equipment and weapons from the rebel warehouse. As before, to open new models, you need to perform plot and side quests, participate in competitions and help in the liberation of the regions. As the pumping will open more skillful pilots (seven of them in total), which allows you to use aircraft manufacturing more often. Perhaps I am most pleased with the possibility of accurately discharged cargo.
Now you can configure the most important thing – the direction in which the technique will look after the fall. In the same third part it reached the ridiculous, when a huge airliner fell across the airfield for an unknown reason, and … that’s all. They flew. In the best case, I managed to expand the colossus with the help of ingenuity and a pair of cables, and at the worst I spent a priceless beacon in vain.
After the release, we are waiting for three additions, and at least two of them are plot. True, we will be able to try them out no earlier than 2019. The first addition, Dare Devils, will be released at the beginning of the year and talk about gangs and deadly races on Mascars. Los Slotonauts sister sites Demonios will send Rodriguez to battle with demons threatening the Solis and the whole world. And the last addition will be Agency Strikes Back. According to the plot, the former boss Rico arrives on the island, along with the army of agents, to the teeth armed with futuristic weapons. By the way, in Mech Land Assault for Just Cuse 3, there was something similar.
Just CAUSE 4 – logical development of ideas of the third part. We will find not only an improvement in everything that we have already seen, but also completely new ones for a series of mechanics. Of course, when it comes to the plot, it is better not to wait for dizzying surprises. But, on the other hand, history promises to give answers to questions about the father of Rico.
The authors offer a lot of tools and breakdown opportunities for their use. Everything that limits the possible ceiling of fun is your desire to experiment. Because if at some point you will still get tired once again to launch a tank into heaven, obvious design problems will come out in the way. The same in places absurd physics, because of which sometimes you do not know how the hero or objects will behave next to him. So even creating madness is far from always fun.
But if you are a fan of fan from the previous part, then Just Cuse 4 will definitely not disappoint you.
