Forget Rico Rodriguez, a tornado is Just Cause 4’s real star

Riding the winds of change Avalanche Studios’Just Causegames are chaos incarnate. The open-world action series packs more explosions and high-speed stunts in a single hour than most titles manage during their entire runtime.

During a hands-off presentation at E3, members of Avalanche Studios demoedJust Cause 4‘s open-world environments and high-tech gadgets....

Before we start, I have a confession to make: I never watched more than a single episode ofGI Joe.
