"GTA 5 feels like an infrastructural flavor in gaming at this point, delivering that same action driving and shooting, showing up to comfort you wherever you might want to play it. When novelty appears, like when I was driving through the night and Burial’s “Hiders” played on the in-game radio, apparently added back in 2017, it really stands out. But playing GTA 5 today is not generally an exercise in a new experience for millions of us. It is a return to the familiar, a known entity, and these new-gen versions of the game offer us repetition with slight differences. If that is what you’re angling to get out of your time in 2022, GTA 5 is there for you."

About

Grand Theft Auto V Special Edition is one of the biggest open-world games ever made. Play as three distinct characters navigating the chaos of Los Santos and Blaine County. Drive stolen cars, pull off heists, and tackle side missions ranging from golf to skydiving. The Special Edition adds extra content like a collectible SteelBook, a detailed blueprint map, and bonus weapons. Each character gains a 25% faster special ability charge while stunt plane challenges and new outfits expand the already massive playground. Critic reviews still praise the game years later with OpenCritic scoring it 92 and 91.6% of critics recommending it. IGN called it "one of the best games available today" and highlighted the PC version's technical quality. On consoles it runs across two discs requiring a hard drive or USB storage. The extra features in the Special Edition offer minor but welcome upgrades for collectors. With its endless activities and deep character stories, it remains a benchmark for open-world design despite its 2013 release.
