Maybe “pyrotechnician” sounds a bit more professional. And you’re going to do it by fighting fire with fire.īut amidst all the talk of revolution and restoration, Rico is, first and foremost, a pyromaniac. You’re here to take back what was taken from them. You’re here to restore the people’s faith in themselves and in their land. You, as Rico Rodriguez, are here to replace the existing administration. So, one outpost at a time, one oil-rich asset at a time, and one island at a time, Rico will be the rebel leader the people of Medici need to reclaim their homeland.
Medici’s dictator is something of an elephant, but Rico knows how to eat an elephant. The people basically want their beautiful island nation back. The people of Medici have the boot of totalitarianism stepping down on their neck, and hamfisted propaganda makes it hard to enjoy a Corona and lime on the beach, even with the amazing views. There’s a militant tyrant that needs deposing, his brutalist strongholds clawed deep into the Mediterranean archipelago of Medici. In all practicality, you’ve got enough firepower to take down an island dictatorship-and that’s exactly what you intend to do. It’s like a 400-square-mile game of The Floor Is Hot Lava, where you’re the one creating atom-bomb-sized clouds of rocket-fueled kaboom and doing it all from ziplining, parachuting, wingsuited heights.
Just Cause 3 is the gamiest game I’ve gamed in awhile.
