Grand Theft Auto V Reviews

Multiplayer doesn't work since Rockstar can't toggle a simple switch button for enabling BattlEye on Linux

the best game i played , best story , best multiplayer and fun playing with friends

can not play online properly their servers always have issues and always have hackers. Constantly getting stuck in endless loading screens. Terrible de-sync between players and teleporting/rubber banding.

Ever since I was a kid, GTA V has been more than just a game to me. It’s a part of my gaming soul. From the first time I set foot in Los Santos, I was completely hooked. The massive open world, the freedom to do whatever I wanted, and the unforgettable story made it an experience like no other. Even after all these years, my love for GTA V hasn’t faded. Whether I’m causing chaos in the city, racing through the streets, or just messing around with friends in GTA Online, the game never stops being fun. The memories I’ve made such as: Epic heists, Hilarious fails, and "Insane stunts" :D are moments I’ll never forget.

I must give it negative review since GTA Online has become unplayable on Linux cause of anticheat. I know this game was not made for Linux in the first place, but since it worked in Linux for all this time, I invested time in GTA Online only to be kick out by anticheat. GTA singleplayer is still playable, but I doubt I would be replaying sp in the future. SP story is fun, critical of current day US, a bit of a snapshot of current life over there. GTA online is a bit too grindy for my taste, but I guess they have to make you want to buy those sharkcards. Interesting thing is that in online, ingame characters call you to advertise sharkcards or other things that they think could bring more money. At first it's fun, until you realise they will do these calls every time you enter the game. That is no fun, and is tiring. You will answer the call even if you do not want to. And if you stop the call, you will cause them to call you even more. I like recently added taxi missions in online. I do not like that you can not fix your taxi car as mission goes on. Also you can not modify that car in any way. There is some black and red version that you can pay a lot of $ or win it in the arena. At the moment, you can only $ (in game c), as arena is basically dead, nobody plays it. I do not know what mods can you make to that car, I tried to get it just so I could modify it.

A modding group took years to transfer the Liberty City map to GTA V Single Player, only for Rockstar to hit them with a Cease and Desist. This rash of bad decisions has gone too far. I won't be supporting GTA 6 until this hostile action against the modding community ends. I bet they won't even release a GTA 4 remaster, making this C&D pointless. Look up The Liberty City Preservation Project to see what they are taking away.

Single-player is a masterpiece. Online is fun… until the grind, hackers, and flying bikes get to you.

You HAVE TO install their spyware, BattleEye, to be able to launch the game, regardless of whether it is SOLO mode or not. It will scan all your documents in the background and be able to update at any time without notifying you. I know we can put --nobattleye as a parameter when launching the R* launcher. But it should have been set as the default instead of forcing players to spend time on Google just to find a solution for disabling this stupid, disgusting spyware. You got exactly what you deserved. -> NOT RECOMMENDED

Grand Theft Auto V – Great Game, But Not Without Issues GTA V offers an amazing single-player experience with a well-written story, fun missions, and a detailed open world. The gameplay is smooth, and Los Santos feels alive with plenty to do. GTA Online has tons of content, but it's heavily grindy, filled with toxic players using Oppressor Mk IIs, and plagued with cheaters and modders, especially on PC. Bugs and connection issues are still common, and loading times remain frustratingly long. Rockstar’s focus on microtransactions also hurts the experience. The single-player is worth it, but GTA Online can be frustrating unless you play with friends.

Look, if you haven’t played Grand Theft Auto V by now, you’re either under a rock or under witness protection. Either way, it’s time to change that—especially when this almost 13-year-old crime simulator is still kicking hard in 2025, and you can grab it for a measly $15 on Steam. That’s right—fifteen bucks. we have all spent more on a bad DoorDash order. (Damn you Jason!!!!!) Now, let’s get the obvious out of the way: GTA V still has a ridiculously active online scene. You’d think after all these years, Los Santos would be a ghost town, but nope—there’s still a healthy mix of dedicated players, chaotic trolls, and that one guy who’s been grinding for years but still can’t afford the flying bike. Some people are out here treating GTA Online like an actual job, while others log in just to obliterate those same people with an orbital strike... It’s the circle of life. And yes, trolling is still alive and well, because let’s be real—it’s Grand Theft Auto. If you’re jumping in expecting peaceful cooperation, you’re in the wrong franchise. Whether it’s someone flying a jet into your car mid-mission or some lunatic blocking the bank doors with a dump truck, you just gotta laugh, respawn, and move on. (Or, you know, get revenge. Your call.) What’s wild is that GTA V has actually been climbing the Steam charts again—alongside Red Dead Redemption 2, because apparently, people are remembering that Rockstar makes absolute bangers, but tend to treat said bangers like a Red Head Step child. Maybe it’s the fact that there’s no GTA VI yet, or maybe it’s because people are realizing that no other open-world game delivers this level of freedom, crime, and sheer stupidity in one package. Either way, Los Santos isn’t dying anytime soon. So, is GTA V still worth it in 2025? Absolutely. For $15, you’re getting one of the best open-world games ever made, with a single-player story that still slaps and an online mode that’s a chaotic mess in the best way possible. Just watch out for that one guy in the Oppressor Mk II. You know the one.
