Objective of the game

Grand Theft Auto V is an open-world game in which players can move around freely. Set in Los Santos, a fictional city inspired by Los Angeles, players can take on the role of three different characters, all with criminal pasts. Players are free to evolve as they wish in this realistic universe, which takes the form of an extreme parody of the United States with its explosive tone and biting irony. In addition to the wide variety of activities offered in its main adventure, Grand Theft Auto V also offers a multiplayer mode to experience your own story alone or with others.

The testers' opinion

More than just a game, GTA V is a universe that blends genres with a constant focus on striking a balance between fun and realism. A potpourri of good ideas, Rockstar's title reinvents the open world and narrates with diabolical precision the destiny of three vile scoundrels in a huge virtual Los Angeles. More free than ever in their movements and in control of their progress, players devour an incredibly varied range of missions.

Despite its somewhat predictable storyline and slightly rushed ending, GTA V is masterfully staged and boasts meticulous storytelling, aided by the constant switching between Michael, Trevor and Franklin, the three main characters that you play in turn. The feeling of freedom is taken to its peak.

As for multiplayer, GTA Online offers a real extension of the single-player experience and creates a new genre that is subject to evolution. The result is satisfying, offering real comfort when playing as a team or solo, and a wealth of content.
