priya20 reviewed Grand Theft Auto V

The single player is the best thing Rockstar has written and I'd defend that against Red Dead. Three protagonists who actively dislike each other is a structural choice most studios would have focused-grouped out, and it's the reason the heists land — you're not switching characters for variety, you're switching because Michael doesn't trust Trevor to be in the room.

What keeps it an S eleven years on is that the moment-to-moment shooting and driving still feel better than most things released since. The driving especially. Every open world game that came after made cars heavier and worse.

I've done the Pacific Standard heist more times than I can count, mostly with the same four people, several of whom I no longer speak to outside of it. Make of that what you will.
