The review was written while the game was still in development.
From the very first episodes of GTA it was already clear that the games were good (both in terms of sales and ratings). And if there is profit and popularity, then you need to squeeze everything out of the game that they can and cannot, so the series continued... and continues, and becomes more and more successful. In general, I think that GTA 6 will not be worse than the others, but it will also be difficult to call it a cult
