Review: Grand Theft Auto V – PC

0

Grand Theft Auto V for the PC is here! In this open-world game there are very few rules – none if you choose, but the cops may have something to say about that!)

Like its predecessors, stealing, robbing, reckless driving, fights and interactions with “questionable” characters can be expected – create chaos!

Platform: PC

Genre: Action-adventure

Game mode: First person or third-person shooter

3 playable characters: Michael De Santa, Franklin Clinton or Trevor Philips.

 The story is set in Los Santos, San Andreas where former bank robber, Michael Townley lives in witness protection, under the alias, Michael De Santa.

Pure anarchy erupts when Michael finds out that his wife, Amanda has been sleeping with her tennis coach! As you can imagine, it only escalates from there: a drug lord, a life of crime, teaming up with a gangbanger named Franklin Clinton; oh, and even working for a billionaire are only 4 of the controversial situations that enter Michael’s life; throw in Triads, street gangs and an outlaw motorcycle club and you have a whirlwind journey into a seedy underworld. There’s find danger at every turn; you’re going to find it difficult to stop playing! Being bad, has never felt so good!

But here’s the big question – what does the PC version offer? Trusted Reviews comments that it is the most visually impressive and immersive version yet – “Those lucky enough to have a 4K monitor and the rig to run it, will have ample cause for amazement”.

It’s time to start your engine. Ready, Set, GO!
