I will try to write this review as briefly as possible. I first became acquainted with GTA 5 in 2016, a year after its official release on PC. The game received great optimization for weak PCs, and then I played it on a fairly weak laptop. Through which I am now writing this review).
I will try to briefly describe the pros and cons of this game, and more specifically, the storyline and Online separately.
GTA 5 Company/plot:
No doubt, it was and is the best game in the last ten years, compared to the previous part of GTA 4, we got more action, variety in tasks, more interesting and not an extended plot, many side but no less interesting tasks, as well as very charismatic and dissimilar characters, both main and secondary. I won’t spoil it, but I really liked the company, and it’s truly “explosive.”
Compared to the previous parts, GTA 5 does not become boring in the middle, I was also surprised by the open world, which even in 2020 looks quite alive and well-developed, and if you learn English and listen to the conversations of passers-by, the game takes on unusual colors and a real ambience California or San Francisco.
Optimization:
It is done perfectly, runs even on the weakest PCs at minimum settings.
Gameplay:
In this regard, the game is in no way inferior to other parts, everything is also interesting to play, and it’s nice to destroy, blow up and kill everything in free mode, there are also secondary activities like golf or diving.
Graphics:
It’s gorgeous, I can’t say anything more, everything is better than the new ones)
GTA Online:
At the moment the online mode looks quite sloppy, constant grind, cheaters, little variety -for which everything comes down to grinding, robberies, although interesting, are in some places unreasonably difficult, also due to strong inflation in the economy, a million dollars in GTA Online is not money for a long time, and players have to either donate or buy so-called “upgrades” , or constantly grind for 6-12 hours to buy a new car or everyone is fed up with MK 2. Also, the problem is caused by cheaters that interfere with the normal game and also with grinding.
