A reboot that keeps the open-world crime structure and the customisation depth — the character creator is the strongest part — but pulls the tone toward earnest. Combat is serviceable, driving is fine. The mission design leans on repeated activity types, and the shift away from the earlier games' absurdity leaves it without a clear identity.

On reception: its Steam reviews are mixed, against mostly positive for Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City.
