Every time I step into this game, it feels like I'm in a Godzilla simulator. It's a flawless and magnificent sandbox, complete with pedestrian simulation, traffic, day and night cycles, an entire bustling city. Los Angeles breathes, it feels alive. Everything was meticulously crafted for me, the giant monster, to destroy everything. It's incredibly satisfying, I believe it's the greatest quality of GTA V. However, everything else in the game was recycled from GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption and other past titles from the company. Filled with clichés and awkward characters, with a game design that feels outdated even for its release time. While undoubtedly one of the most popular games of all time, primarily because of its online mode, it falls short of being one of the greatest of all time. It doesn't even come close to being one of the best Rockstar games. A mid experience, after all! Overrated.
