Grand Theft Auto V Reviews
After almost ten years, Grand Theft Auto V begins to show its age. It's a remarkable video game though, but three new visual modes can't hide the fact that some of its game systems are beginning to feel antiquated. Still, this next-gen version is obviously the best way to play GTA 5 and GTA Online.

Grand Theft Auto V for Xbox Series X and PS5 isn't so much expanded but it's certainly enhanced. The common criticism here is that it looks the same, and there’s a small nugget of truth to that, the updated visuals aren't mindblowing, but they do add up to make a difference. While those graphical changes aren’t as dramatic as the difference between GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2, the drastically reduced loading times, higher framerates and improved audio on the current hardware does make the game much more enjoyable.
Bigger, bolder and badder, Grand Theft Auto V shines just as bright on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 as it did on last-gen consoles.
If you missed out on Grand Theft Auto V the first time around, grab it on Xbox One. The first-person mode and graphical boost are well worth the purchase. An already excellent game has turned into a superlative one.
So, if you haven't had a chance to play through GTAV on the PS3, stop reading this and go pick it up, as it was one of the best experiences of the last generation, and continues to be one this generation. If you're like me and spent an exorbitant amount of time with the game already, you may find that the new content will keep you busy for a some time, but ultimately it will be a trip down memory lane more than a new lease on life.
Grand Theft Auto V is at home on PC, with Rockstar pouring an incredible amount of effort and work into their long overdue PC port. There is simply no better way to experience the branching story in Los Santos - setting a new benchmark on what we can expect from the highest tier of visual fidelity in gaming.
The improvements make an already fantastic game that much better, and even if you've already run through everything it had to offer, it's worth another go. Grand Theft Auto V can now lay claim to not only being one of the best games of its generation, but also one of the best remakes as well.
In another year, last-gen ports will be a tougher sell. But for now, another go-around in Los Santos with Michael, Franklin and Trevor feels like a good idea.
There is simply no argument to be had. The PC release of GTA V is by far the very best version of the very best Grand Theft Auto game to date.
GTA V on PC represents the epitome of the game's evolution. Its ascension to the higher echelons of existence.
There's no avatar here; it's your hands causing the violence now, your eyes staring directly at victims, and you facing down being shot dead, run over, blown up, or falling from insane heights.
GTA 5 can be depraved, amoral, sickeningly violent and childishly desperate to shock, yet it's also one of the richest and deepest games ever made, with an ambitious three-stranded storyline that holds so many disparate parts together.
Definitely Grand Theft Auto V is one of the most ambitious games in our industry, a dark comedy that perfectly balances a hilarious game with an unmissable story full of good humor and a good dose of drama. Safety pin.

There is no doubt about that: GTA V on PC is the definitive version of this beautiful game. Technique and gameplay go hand in hand in a huge, surprising, well-written game with three characters capable of staying etched forever in our minds.

When it comes to re-editing an Old Gen game, it's natural to fear a lazy porting using better resolution as the only selling point. Rockstar clearly didn't take players for pigeons by relying on the popularity of Grand Theft Auto V. In addition to an in-depth reworked production, the publisher reinvents his series by adding a convincing subjective view. It was only a few weeks ago impossible to imagine what Rockstar was planning. A great game.

At campaign level you’ll be playing as three distinctly different characters in an astonishingly detailed and accurate recreation of Los Angeles, engaging in missions that tips hats to the best in crime cinema. A GTA world has never been as populated with things to do, be that hurling yourself out of helicopters whilst riding an ATV, or seeking out bounty hunt targets for big cash rewards. Los Santos is a world full of amusement and excitement, although these days Rockstar’s satire is starting to wear a little thin and the jokes don’t always hit the right mark. Online, it’s the same experience, but all the other gangsters are real people. And you can engage in a car chase with a rival player whilst Kenny Loggins’ Danger Zone plays on the radio. If that doesn’t convince you, I don’t know what will.
Almost endless creative possibilities open up to PC gamers for a pleasure that is likely to last for a long time to come.

Even on its third outing, Grand Theft Auto V continually manages to impress and astound, and the refinements made on the PC version are just the icing on the cake.
The Next-Gen version of GTA 5 is not a simple remake. It is indeed one of the most courageous operations of Rockstar Games, which has decided to propose - in addition to the classic experience of its masterpiece updated on the technical front - a whole new point of view for the series. The first-person view completely changes the rhythms of the game and the overall feeling of the gameplay, transforming Grand Theft Auto 5 into a product not only more enveloping, but with a new flavor.

It's still a great way to play Grand Theft Auto 5, but even with the visual improvements and new multiplayer content, it feels less like a necessary return, and more like an aimless jaunt.
