When starting this review, I would like to preface that this is my first entry in the Grand Theft Auto franchise. With that being said, this game is an absolute masterpiece from start to end. I had already dabbled in the GTA Online mode for quite some time before playing the game so I knew what I was getting into going into this but I wasn't expecting the campaign to offer this much in terms of content, personality and story. The focus on the three main characters and your ability to swap between them changes up both gameplay and how the story feels. Each character plays different and has different ways about going through missions with some leniency to allow for the player's own unique experience. Somoe plot details are hidden from characters which really builds tension in the game's story. Speaking of the story, it is absolutely perfect for the way this game presents itself. It never takes itself too seriously while still hitting some important emotional beats that will leave you satisfied in the end. Apart from the main gameplay, there is so much side content to be done that the game never truly feels empty, even after completing the campaign. Rockstar does an amazing job of worldbuilding here just as they do in every one of their games. Minor nitpicks I have would be about the general driving experience. Cars can control really weird sometimes with one slight bump to the control stick, then suddenly you've spun out completely, and the AI in this game can make some odd decisions while driving. Overall, an absolutely amazing story and gameplay experience that runs on for just the right length and never tires the player out.
