If you click on a link and make a purchase we may receive a small commission.The greatest gaming event of 2023 was the GTA 6 reveal trailer. I am still thinking about it now. Rockstar has mastered the art of making the gaming world pause for a few minutes to experience something lavish and mind-blowing. Their games encourage grandiose thinking. I want this new version of Vice City’s map to be the biggest in history, even though I’m currently exhausted of massive open-world games.

I spent hours in GTA 5 as the embodiment of Trevor Philips, Michael De Santa and Franklin Clinton. You know, just cruising around Los Santos listening to radio stations, earning money as a taxi driver, encountering hilarious random encounters or causing utter 5-star mayhem. This level of immersion pulled me through my screen into the world and narrative of GTA 5 like an early premonition of Alan Wake 2.

In terms of capturing the realistic texture of the world beyond alligators? GTA 5 introduced us to Lester Crest, the criminal-minded genius who happened to live with a physical disability requiring both a stick and wheelchair for mobilisation. It’s always wonderful to interact with a disabled character who isn’t identified by their limitations and is considered useful for their talents, even when their talents are distinctly criminal.
