The verdict
A legendary open-world crime sandbox with a superb story and huge content, but Rockstar launcher/account problems, online cheaters and heist nerfs sour many players. Skip it if you hate grind or required launchers.
Great for
Story-driven open-world fans and friends wanting chaotic co-op, roleplay servers or mods
Main risk
Rockstar launcher/account lockouts, cheaters and a grindy, nerfed online economy
