#2 GTA V
Grand Theft Auto 5 follows in the wake of the previous game, with its darker, realistic tone—in direct contrast with the light-hearted facetiousness of GTA3 and Vice City. It takes place in Rockstar's equivalent of Los Angeles, in Los Santos—the City of Lost Saints.
Players take on the role of a crime boss attempting to walk the straight and narrow, only to find himself back in the underworld as his greed and pursuit of the American dream consumes him—an allegory for the issues modern Americans face if ever there was one.
