Just Cause 4 (PC)

Man bleibt sich treu: Jede Menge Freude mit neuen Spielzeugen in der bunten Explosions-Chaos-Sandbox, verpackt in einer eher mauen Story.

Die Anforderungen an die Grafikkarte liegen trotzdem etwas über dem Durchschnitt, gehen aber aufgrund der hohen Sichtweite in Ordnung. In Full HD reicht für die maximale Grafikqualität ein Modell der Mittelklasse wie die Radeon RX 580 aus, für 2.560 × 1.440 muss es dann die Oberklasse wie die GeForce RTX 2070 sein. Und, wenig verwunderlich, kann die Grafikkarte für Ultra HD weiterhin nicht schnell genug sein.

Is there a good reason to get Just Cause 4? I think so, but I also think some might be happier waiting for a sale on it. Hey, I have enjoyed the game, but I still feel I should add that qualification because at times it felt rather familiar, like the previous Just Cause games, and that makes it harder to say it is a buy-it-now experience.

In some regards, Just Cause 4 offers some tremendous improvements over its predecessor, though in others, especially on PC, we can see that the game could have used a little more time in the oven before being released. Square Enix plans to address several issues with future game patches on PC and consoles, with a full list of fixes being available to view here.

Weather effects and party balloons see a knockabout charmer return in decent form.

n terms of performance, cards from both AMD and NVIDIA do well and reach their usual performance levels pretty much spot on. A Radeon RX 580 or GTX 1060 6 GB is sufficient for 1080p gaming with highest details. For 1440p, an RX Vega 56 card or GTX 1070 Ti will deliver 60 FPS, and only the RTX 2080 Ti can drive 4K at a fluid 60 Hz. Overall, no surprises here.
