Just Cause 2 Reviews

I experienced some glitches and freezes while playing with the new generation graphics cards. Other than that, the game is great—the story is engaging, but the side missions feel a bit repetitive.

Great over the top open world game. The weapons, vehicles and missions are varied. You can make your own plan on how to tackle the missions. Also has some good CIA banana republic humor. How all this fun fits in just 5 GB is mind boggling. An example for modern games.

This game is the best sandbox shooter and blow up game ever made. JC3 and 4 don't hold a candle.

Good game for it's time but I really can't recommend this due to the insane amount of crashes and the several bugs I've experienced when playing, would highly recommend Just Cause 3 over this

unironically, no other open-world has ever topped this game. it's just that good

A fun open world game similar to GTA, but on steroids. Really great on Steam Deck! Like it was designed for Deck. No setup (everything on max), runs perfectly. Locked 60 FPS even in demanding situations. Despite the year of release the game looks great. Especially at different times of the day, sunrise etc. Good destruction. Perfect for mindlessly turning off your head. The only setting I made is setting launch options: "/filmgrain=0 /fovfactor=1.4" /filmgrain is for removing noise in cut scenes /fovfactor in the range of 1.0 to 2.0, to set the FOV. 1.0 is the default and I found it too low

Very entertaining game, with a lot of complex mechanics that just make the game feel good!

Pro tip for getting this game to work on modern systems: go into options of the game, and set decals to "off" Before i did that the game often crashed on me after 30 min of gameplay. But after this it became alot more stable! so stable that i could even complete all story missions of this super fun action game. this game is great - the amount of chaos you can do as Rico is a pinjata of enemies blowing up, overtaking enemy helicopters and planes - along with all the things you can destroy if you want to. And the game features one of the largest open world maps made in any game. I had not have this much fun since old school GTA 1-2.

Still a great game in 2025. Only annoying things are aimbot NPCs and the lack of save game checkpoints - tearing up a base during a mission for 20 minutes and then you have to do everything again if you die.

[h2] This is a Steam Deck review! [/h2] This is a perfect game for Steam Deck. It's the kind of game you play when you don't really want to play anything, but you want to pass some time. The story is short and not very good, missions are repetitive and not very diverse, All boil down to "kill everyone and then press a button", or "kill the target". The game map is very large, with hundreds of things to find, villages, cities, collectables, that will either improve your equipment, your health, or give you money. There is a lot of time challenges with use of any and all vehicles available in the game. You can fight the military, you can destroy their bases, you can drive tanks, attack helicopters, military jet fighters. You can even pilot an airliner if you want to. And then there is sky diving, parachute and grappling hook! You can grapple to any vehicle, throw out its driver/pilot and take control over it. And I mean ANY vehicle. You wanna hijack a jet plane that is already in the air? As long as you can grapple it with your hook, you can do that! Absolute casual, arcade-style gameplay, way better than any GTA, modern or otherwise. I can't recommend Just Cause 2 enough for Steam Deck. Hell, even for PC. The game runs great on Deck at 60fps with some occasional dips depending on environment. Keep your settings at high and very high with AA at 2x, otherwise the game will significantly lose its image quality. You won't gain all that much performance, while making your game look significantly less appealing. And it is a good looking game, it just doesn't scale down very well.
