Just Cause 3 vs Mafia III
Just Cause 3
Just Cause 3 is the latest, and so far, the best Just Cause game within the franchise. Set in yet another tropical paradise - this time in the Mediterranean sea, you'll have over 1000 square kilometer of gorgeous landscape to explore and cause total chaos in... and fortunately, the game offers you a villain - a ruthless dictator who has the entire island population under his thumb - making it incredibly easy and fun to torment him by taking out his people and his critical buildings.As usual, albeit with hugely improved graphics and effects, you'll get to perform a wide variety of thrilling stunts - stunts that you can further combine to create new creative and exaggerated ways to wreak havoc. In addition to the many different types of missions, there are even plenty of collectibles to gather too.
However, for a game such as this one, you'll probably expect the storyline to be rather lackluster, which in this game, is exactly the case. But if you simply want to blow off some steam and cause trouble for a evil dictator that you can whole-heartedly hate, then, Just Cause 3 is the best possible game you can play.
Mafia III
Mafia III is the long-awaited second sequel to the popular mafia-themed action-shooter game, Mafia. Set in the 1968 after the Vietnam War, the game casts you into the role of Lincoln Clay, a Vietnam veteran who had his entire surrogate family, the black mob, wiped out by the Italian Mafia. Vowing revenge for your family, you'll need to build a new mafia from the ground up and bring the fight to the Italian mob. It is either you or them and there is no in-between.Similar to the previous, the game has the same brilliant gun fights, hand-to-hand melee combat as well as heart-pounding car chases with cops and rival mobs alike. You can even choose how you approach a mission the way you like due to the open world nature of the virtual city you'll be roaming around in. Of course, being the leader of a mafia, you will also need to make some hard decisions when deciding who to promote and who to let go as "a necessary casualty". One thing for sure, you'll do whatever it takes to avenge your brothers.
Despite some bugs and glitches, Mafia III is still a great sequel that fans of the series will most certainly enjoy. It still retains its deep gritty feel and the plot, although somewhat cliche (see: Saints Row), is good enough to keep the game going.
