If I could sum up Just Cause 3 in one word, it would be: explosions. Enormous, spectacular explosions that while it may be the cool thing to not look at them in movies as you’re walking away, in Just Cause 3 you might want to grab a lawn chair and some popcorn, because blowing stuff up is a sight to behold in this game. In fact, I spent more time in my session blowing stuff up than doing anything else, and guess what, it never got old.
One of the first things you notice when you pick up the controller and start playing Rise of the Tomb Raider is the incredibly lush visuals. This is a gorgeous game and it knows it, from Lara’s physics-based glowstick as it reflects and illuminates against rocky surfaces to the painstakingly detailed character models, this is a stunner to look at and play.
