'Just Cause 3' gaemplay: Explosions galore in this sandbox game

Explosions, explosions, and more explosions, anyone who has seen a trailer for "Just Cause 3" understands that those are integral parts of the game.

It's not an accident either.

In an interview with Kotaku Australia, the game's director Roland Lesterlin talked at length about how important to "Just Cause 3" those explosions actually are.

Lesterlin spoke about the "cathartic" and "relaxing" qualities of the explosions that players could trigger inside the game. He shared about how pleasant it could be to simply have a game that enabled players to just blow things up and have it mean something, and how gratifying that could be especially at the end of a long and exhausting day.

The game's director indicated that the big explosions are important to the game for a reason — it was part of what fans have always loved about the franchise's earlier installments.

To be clear though, "Just Cause 3" has more to offer than just the rampant destruction of infrastructure.

The game also provides players with a massive area to play around with, known as Medici, and it acts as the backdrop for what could be hours upon hours of exploration, although whether that it is a positive or a negative is mostly dependent upon the player.

The good news is that players will, of course, not to explore the entire isle of Medici on foot.

In fact, players will now be getting a new item known as a wingsuit that should aid in their travels, according to The Verge. As the name suggests, the wingsuit will enable players to fly or perhaps glide around the island of Medic, either looking for new stuff to blow up or just exploring in general.

Still, traveling by wingsuit figures to make an entire island significantly more enjoyable to explore.

There's still a lot more to discover about "Just Cause 3." From its lively environment to its near endless opportunities for mayhem, "Just Cause 3" has a lot to offer, although whether or not all of it is substantial remains the question to be answered when it is released on Dec. 1.
