I bought a bunch of games in the recent GOG sale. So instead of playing them I've been playing Just Cause 3.

I honestly think this is one of my all time favourite games. It wouldn't win any awards from critics. Wikipedia says "Just Cause 3 received "mixed or average" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic.". But it's just so fun.

You can play it without need to pay much attention, just going around blowing up shit to liberate bases. A hero in an uprising against a dictator.

Anyone got recommendations for other games that are really enjoyable to play even if they aren't award worthy games?

    I’ve been meaning to try that game. Your review sold it for me. I’ll strongly consider checking it out soon.

    I have no idea how much is nostalgia but it's recent enough to have normal controls, graphics are decent, and gameplay is fun, especially after you do a few missions to unlock the core gear.
