Overview:
Looking back, the sole existence of GTAV in the last decade is staggering compared to the scale of advancement and output in the years proceeding it. Split into three universes the franchise opened with the 2D universe, the original top down game making an impressive mark for 2D games during the dawn of the 3D era. Whilst the second game didn't make as strong a mark it was soon after that the third game brought the gameplay into the 3D era and it quietly launched before rapidly causing an industry wide revolution. It's follow ups arrived in quick succession with the expansive Vice City followed by the state wide San Andreas before Rockstar managed to condense the experiences with the portable based yet accurate to play Stories entries. The series went more cinematic and physics based for the successful but polarising fourth game before striking gold with the fifth game which met universal acclaim but is now more known for its immensely successful but sequel halting online multiplayer.
