Just Cause 2 is not a game with a great story or meaningful choices. It is a game where you attach a car to a helicopter with a grappling hook and watch what happens next. That is the entire pitch. The island of Panau is enormous and every corner of it supports the same glorious nonsense. I have launched off a mountain with a parachute more times than I can count and it still does not get boring. Content depth is the honest weak spot here. Mission design is repetitive. But as a low-stress sandbox for short evening sessions on older hardware, nothing on this list is more immediately fun.
