Just Cause 2 is a masterpiece. Definitely one of my top 10 games. For the story you dethrone a dictator. In order to do that you need to cause chaos and destroy everything that stands in your path. Visually the game has aged extremely well, it still looks fantastic for a decade old game. My only gripe is you can't actually 100% the game since there is a missing destructible (although there is a mod which adds it if you really care about 100% the game), but thankfully completing the game with 100% isn't required for getting 100% of the achievements which was fairly easy to do. This game is definitely worth it full price, but when it goes on sale it is insanely cheap. Being able to destroy military bases and take on an army is the biggest reason to get this game, the story of taking down a dictator was just a nice bonus on top of it all. As for the DLC for this game they aren't necessary at all, get them if you want them or there's a nice bundle for them, but this game is amazing and fun without any of the DLC.

This game is easily a 10/10 for me. I hope you find this game as enjoyable as I did.
