Grand Theft Auto V is a game set within the fictional state of San Andreas which is based on Southern California and its developers has done a great job of replicating real world locations. The game is very well optimized as well compared to the previous title, Grand Theft Auto IV which was such a disastrous game to run.

The gameplay is quite fast-paced, gunplay feels fun and satisfying. Driving in this game stroke a minor controversy as it felt a bit too 'casual' compared to the previous major installment, GTA 4. The graphics are phenomenal for an open world game and the level of detail in the world is incredible and the city feels very lively with a variety of NPC pedestrians scattered across the map

The story is fun and well written. There are three led protagonists throughout single player and players can switch between them. Each of every mission in the game's story mode is unique so they don't feel very repetitive. When the story is over there really isn't much left to do however, there are a number of activities in which you can engage in single player such as racing, hanging out with your friends, hunting down the wild life and playing sports but they're not as fun as they ought to be.

GTA Online is probably the main reason why people get this game but in my opinion it barely has any redeeming qualities and I don't know why people are buying the game just for this. Firstly, the concept of playing around in a huge open world with friends just simply sounds fun and it actually is, surprisingly. There are a couple of things you can play in Online mode, missions, heists, races and adversary mode which has a variety of game modes. But that's pretty much about it for the fun aspects of Online, now for the cons. Online is very, very grindy and is just pretty repetitive overall. Let's just say that you have a wish to buy a vehicle that costs around 2 million dollars (just a reference) which is pretty easy to get in single player, but it's different Online. You will have to repeatedly do the same missions / heists / works over and over until you get enough money and by the time you get the vehicle you will feel a sense of satisfaction for a short while until you find another vehicle you want to get. Sure, there are micro transactions called shark cards which add money into your character but for the price it's not worth it at all. Another negative of the Online mode is hackers, they ruin the fun of the game and makes it worse especially when the game itself isn't much fun.

To sum it up, I think the game is pretty good, especially the single player campaign but I do not think that it is worth spending $60 USD just for it and the multiplayer is trash in my opinion but do buy this on a sale if you have money to spare.
