Grand Theft Auto V review by KKJota — tier S

I played this game for the first time on a PS3 in 2012 on launch day, but I didn’t finish it back then. In 2020, I bought it for my Xbox One and PC, and after years of putting it off, I decided to continue my 2020 save. The graphics are still sensational, and the 3D models are great too (considering it’s a 2013 game for PS3 and Xbox 360). The story, despite some holes and nonsensical moments that aren’t well-executed, is very interesting, with several memorable moments to this day. As for the characters, Michael and Trevor work really well together—they feel like a divorced couple fighting every five words. Franklin seems a bit out of place in the main plot, but the game wouldn’t be the same without him. They could’ve improved Franklin’s relationships, like having missions with Tanisha or giving Lamar more attention, and the revenge plot with Stretch. That said, the game was super fun and kept me entertained for hours, including the Online mode. The Online is a complete and fun mode—the heists, robberies, activities, etc., all work well, but it took away from what the story mode could’ve been.
