Rico is nominally back to stop the Bavarium operation, while also freeing his home. Di Ravallo is mining Medici for Bavarium, a volatile and powerful substance he can use to build advanced weapons and explosives. There is a story to Just Cause 3, involving Rico interacting with his various allies: former best friend Mario, CIA handler Sheldon, rebels Annika and Teo, and disposed scientist Dimah. This is an older Rico, sporting a new gruff exterior, Ezio Auditore-like voice, and essentially the exact same method of operation that worked so well for him before.
A Tale of FreedomĪfter freeing two other island nations, Rico has returned home to Medici, which is under the dictatorial control of General Di Ravello. (Fun fact: The series' name comes from the US invasion of Panama.) Squad goals. Rico Rodriguez is the living embodiment of imperialist colonization: free beleaguered citizens from tyranny by blowing up all the stuff around them. Like its predecessors, Avalanche Studios' latest is a sprawling sandbox of destruction. Just Cause 3 is probably the most goddamn fun I've had in a game this year.
