Just Cause 3 vs Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
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.
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds has rapidly grown from being simply a belated April Fools' parody of the increasingly popular Battle Royal genre into a full-blown battle royale game itself (note the irony). The game has a fun crystalline-like graphical style and a gameplay that may remind you of Player Unknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG)... basically meaning that although you cannot build stuff, you can drive vehicles, including helicopters.What sets this game apart from all the other battle royale games is how "not serious" the game takes itself. The silliness in this game is through the roof, making it an excellent game to goof around with friends. The game touts a "physics-based everything", giving rise to hilarious moments while playing, such as getting blown off the ledge you're barely standing on due to the recoil effect from your gun. Of course, like PUBG, there are tons of cosmetics for your "weirdo" character to wear, sometimes to comedic effect - a Gandalf-slash-samurai, anyone?
In the realm of competitive battle royale gaming, it's really nice to see a game such as Totally Accurate Battlegrounds taking a mickey out of the possibly-overhyped and heavily-marketed genre. The game is currently undergoing a major overhaul due to its shift from free-to-play to premium and will be adding in anti-cheat measure and matchmaking, as well as improving server operations. As such, if you're thinking of getting this game, you might want to wait a bit.
