Grand Theft Auto V really does have cult status, and rightly so. But I don't think the strengths really lie in the story, I personally think it's quite solid, as it's not really very interesting, but the absolute highlight is the outstanding gameplay. Each mission is different from the last and offers a very strong variety, which is what the series stands for, namely action and ambushes.
I also think the open world is good but weaker, it's impressively big but I just miss the interactivity with it. Activities like tennis, golf and the like are fun, but for a game about gangster life, there are no activities to go with them. There are little events that happen from time to time that are really cool and fun but that's about it. Some aspects of the open world could do with more depth and liveliness.
But the characters are good and really iconic.
This game is still a Masterpiece.

The Day Before shows signs of progress, but there are many crucial weaknesses. The graphics are quite solid with a moderate level of detail, while the sound and music are not convincing. The gameplay suffers from a lack of mechanics and variety. The AI and the multiplayer area appear immature. Technical stability and replayability are incredibly problematic, it jerks too often. It gets boring too quickly, as there's really nothing to do except for missions that aren't varied and are also very boring in terms of content. The feel of the weapons is also poor and the hits and shots have no feedback.
All in all, it just feels very cheap.
There is a lack of originality and the community feedback is negative. Overall, fundamental improvements are needed to enhance the player experience.
