Critics' Consensus

“Grand Theft Auto V is a sprawling open‑world action game that uses character switching to deliver nuanced storytelling, with each protagonist offering distinct gameplay strengths—Franklin’s driving skill, Trevor’s unpredictability, and Michael’s strategic approach—but the constant moral ambiguity and reliance on violent, controversial content can feel overwhelming for some players.”

“I suspect GTA V’s character switching, ostensibly pitched as a mechanic designed to always keep you in the heart of the action, may secretly prove to be its most potent storytelling device.”
