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.

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.

The PC Verizon of GTA V is almost perfect. The superb base version is well known and loved, but the optimization, controls and new options knock it out of the park. Of course there were some issues with the game after the launch - so many delays should have eliminated these kinds of setbacks and for that the final grade goes down a bit. But when you finally get to play GTA V on your PC you'll be amazed.

We couldn't have expected a better port on PC for Grand Theft Auto V. Rockstar North, in addition to having made available many graphic options, offers since day one an immense game in an optimized graphics and widely scalable.

This is an opportunity you should take with both hands. This is the definitive version of a masterpiece.

GTA V was another solid entry into the Grand Theft Auto series, I enjoyed the variety of single player story missions, the tons of side missions to do as well as all the returning features from San Andreas that got left out of GTA IV. There were some problems for me like textures completely disappearing quite a few times throughout the game which kind of takes you out of that amazing experience and then I also had issues with the police system in the game, it got annoying when you'd have a fight or shoot someone in the middle of nowhere and your wanted level would automatically go up but other than that I really enjoyed everything else. Pick up this great game right now, and also check back for the GTA Online review next month (Here's a list of Online features confirmed so far to get you excited)

Grand Theft Auto 5 on the new platforms is a great comeback for the already impressive game. The first-person view mode, the enhanced visuals, and the many different smaller alterations transform the game into an even better experience. However, lingering problems with the gameplay and a few visual issues keep it from achieving perfection.

So, Grand Theft Auto V finally is available for the PC and thankfully Rockstar took the time to do it right. Taking the additional time to ensure that the game runs smoothly, beautiful and fast should make players accept the large amount of time it took for it to be released.

The new version of Grand Theft Auto V is still an excellent production, one of the best that has been created in recent years, and at the same time so restored to screw us into the fun for the second time. Rockstar did it again!

Before the premiere, I had mixed feelings. I knew a little bit of rockstar news would add up, but I had concerns about whether I would be able to pull in as much as on ps3. A few nights later, I find that I got even more drawn.

For those of you who used to play on PS3 or Xbox 360 like me, and for those who tried it in the next generation, GTA V PC doesn't offer much different content except its graphics. The game is the same. Still, after a long wait, you can say, "But it was worth it!"

‎Still, GTA 5 for the PC is without a doubt the ultimate version. The game looks spectacular and this time you're driving around with that song on the radio that you can listen to 30 times in a row. The controls with mouse and keyboard make it tricky for you at times, but you can set everything up to your liking or play with a controller. The only downside is in GTA Online where you sometimes come across bugs and glitches that were there on the consoles as well. Despite this, it's now time to play for hundreds of hours again and GTA 5 is hugely addictive!‎

Overall the improvements to the GTA Online for next gen consoles is worth the price of admission especially as it can now be purchased separately from the main game. Also adding the ability to transfer characters will make the transition to the new gen a lot smoother for long time players who have accrued wealth and reputation.

GTAV is a masterpiece, successfully reproducing the awe that we felt when GTAIII first hit the streets while also surpassing GTA: San Andraes in both volume quality of content. Content concerns are without number, though gamers should expect nothing less from a franchise named after a felony.

A sandbox of extraordinary scope created with a masterful attention to detail. A patchy campaign doesn't spoil this wonderful, evocative city.

Grand Theft Auto V isn't exactly a next gen masterpiece but it is undeniably the undisputed king of open world games. If there is anyone out there that hasn't yet experienced GTA V you owe it to yourself to give it a spin. For those of you who have already taken the journey with Franklin, Michael and Trevor there is still plenty of reasons to head back to Los Santos all over again. Trust me, this GTA received far more than just a fresh coat of paint.

I am hopeful that given time, the multiplayer portion will become a better experience. Its status does little to detract from the single-player portion of the game, which is finally free from the shackles of console-based hardware. The title is a beauty to behold when it's cranked up all the way, and it'll likely run on a pretty wide range of hardware. The PC version may not have any new content, but it hits the platform in an extremely polished way. It won't change your mind about the game if you've already played it on another platform, but it certainly cements itself as a fantastic version of an entertaining game.

GTA V remains a benchmark game, and its graphical improvements are hugely impressive, but it's the addition of a first-person mode that transforms it into a very different beast.

Rockstar Games revisits last year's heist-filled romp with a new version on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. With the new power, the developer has added more depth and life to the world of Los Santos. It's the same game, but the new visual effects and first-person mode provides a strong experience. It's not completely worth a double-dip if you tore through the original GTA V, but it's definitely worth a second look.
