This is arguably the best GTA game story wise , I've never seen a story this deep and connected to the character in any GTA game and never even expected it until i played this game, i felt connected to Niko throughout the story and even the side characters were amazing. Some of the most memorable being Little Jacob and Roman. The story is so good it felt like i was watching a very long movie which didn't feel boring at all, the voice actors were spot on with their acting and the aesthetic of Liberty City feels just right , the dark vibe is Liberty City was a welcome change for me as i loved it, although the driving mechanics are hated by many i think it's okay and brings something new to the series, it's hard to master but once you know how to ride it actually becomes quite fun, the gun play is good aswell with loads of variety in weapons, but I can't say the same for vehicles, there's very limited amount of vehicles and no way to customize them or even store them in garages like San Andreas, this is the biggest complaint i have with this game. If you can ignore this , the game is truly great and deserves atleast one playthrough
