It's clear as crystal that "Grand Theft Auto V PC" is much better visually than the console versions of the game which was released last year. Given that this is the third release of the game that first landed on last-generation consoles in 2013, those who have already played the game on consoles may have second thoughts on buying and playing it again this time on PC.

However, for PC gamers, the game is considered a "must have." One reviewer on Steam noted that when the "game launched he was happier than when his first child was born."

In its review of the game, the Guardian noted improvements, such as great visuals, that were not present in earlier versions. Other new features include the popular Rockstar Editor which allows players to record videos of missions and even splice clips together.

However, it is the attention to detail and the breathtakingly beautiful landscape in the game that really stand out. This proves that when it comes to "world building," Rockstar is ranked among the best in the gaming industry, and the PC version of "Grand Theft Auto" is its finest creation to date.

PC World said even when the game not running at 4K, it is still stunning, noting that the shadows created by the Nvidia's "Percentage Closer Soft Shadows" technology both at night and during the day are realistic.

Describing the game as an "an entirely new experience on PC" in its review, Attack Of The Fanboy said the world portrayed on screen is the game's "greatest achievement." On screen everything in the game is "massive, vibrant, and simply begging to be explored" and the whole city Los Santos benefits from the improved resolution and frame rate," it said.

Further enhancing the gaming experience are the extra options in the game that allow the gamers to decrease or increase the number of people or traffic on the streets using sliders.

IGN said the game has everything that gamers want, except for the fact that it did not arrive on time.
