Stay updated with the latest developments about the much anticipated GTA 6. We bring you news, rumors, and leaks about the next installment in the popular Grand Theft Auto series.

Best Red Dead Redemption 2 Mods To Improve The Game In 2025Red Dead Redemption 2 mods have kept Rockstar's western game alive and changing long after Rockstar itself moved on. After one last holiday update in 2022 , Rockstar left Red Dead Redemption 2 behind and, for the most part, left behind Red Dead Online as well, with most of the studio's resources going toward GTA 6. Rockstar might be finished with Red Dead for now, but Red Dead fans certainly aren't. The mod community has dug into nearly every aspect of the game and found ways to make it better, harder, easier, less rigid, more inflexible--if there's something you've wanted to change about Red Dead Redemption 2, you can bet a modder has something out there for you. NexusMods hosts hundreds of Red Dead Redemption 2 mods, but we've gathered 16 of the best together, from new clothes for Arthur to part-time jobs, better bounties, and an expansive reimagining of the game's melee combat system. Bear in mind that, like with most mods, these only work for Red Dead Redemption 2's PC version. If you're after some console fun instead, check out our picks for the best PS5 games and best Xbox Series X|S games to play in 2025. Rampage Trainer Creator : RampageDev Download Link: NexusMods The Rampage Trainer mod for Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the most popular on NexusMods, and it's not hard to see why. It essentially gives you access that's normally restricted to a debug menu. Rampage Trainer lets you alter character stats and attributes, switch Arthur's model for any other character, generate a companion, or revisit out-of-bounds areas--and that's just the start. However, it's probably not something you'd want to do for your first, or maybe even second, playthrough, since it lets you completely alter any part of the game and experience it in a way you're not really meant to. WhyEm's DLC Creator: WhyEm Download link: NexusMods WhyEm's DLC has nothing to do with Red Dead Redemption 2's gameplay and everything to do with making Arthur look even more stylish. It adds more than 2,000 new cosmetics, including beard styles and hairdos for Arthur at the barber shop, new clothes from the trapper, more saddles, and even carvings and grips, the latter of which you can collect and customize at any gun store. WhyEm's DLC even lets you customize how clothing looks, with options to remove suspenders, belts, and holsters, and separate menus for customizing other accessories. It's massive, but also a little finicky at first. Among other requirements, you need to make sure Arthur has every main item equipped, including a satchel, when you install the mod, or it won't work. Duels Creator: Shtivi Download link: NexusMods Rockstar went to impressive lengths to make Red Dead Redemption 2 historically accurate to the real Wild West , and that includes not having people whip out their revolvers anytime someome gives them a sideways glance. As chaotic as the Old West could be, shootouts weren't a daily occurrence in every frontier town, and they aren't in Red Dead Redemption 2, either. At least, until you install this mod. Duels lets you challenge any NPC to a gunfight--literally any NPC you come across--with unique animations, cinematics, conversations, and customizable settings. You have to instigate the duel yourself, too, so you won't just be getting ambushed by anyone who walks by. Crime and Law Rebalance and Enhancement Creator: Blackjack Colver Voltaire - Natsu - SgtJoe - Modifiver - Gameroll Download link: NexusMods Crime and Law Rebalance is a sweeping overhaul of Red Dead Redemption 2's crime system, one that makes it simultaneously easier to get away with a crime and harder to survive once you're hunted. The mod disables minor crimes in all settlements, makes everything legal in the wilderness, and slows down how long it takes for you to earn a wanted status after robbing a train. Lawmen are also less likely to hunt you with dogs. On the other hand, Pinkertons and law enforcement are more cunning and dangerous thanks to improved behavior, and more competent agents are likely to join the hunt when your wanted level is higher. There's a lot more to it, even down to giving Pinkerton agents better horses, but one of the other standout features is that every gang has unique behavior. They'll all fight differently and pose specific challenges that force you to adapt your strategies when you take them on. Bounty Hunting Expanded and Enhanced Creator: Shtivi Download link: NexusMods Bounty Hunting Expanded and Enhanced takes the base game's comparatively tame bounty hunting and turns it into something rather more exciting. For one thing, the mod gives Arthur some bounty hunter rivals who are just as capable as himself and liable to take the reward if you don't act fast enough. You can steal their bounties if you happen upon them in the wilderness and even order a custom bounty wagon for hauling and turning in several criminals at once. Enemy behavior is also smarter and more aggressive, so even regular bounties will pose more of a challenge, and the mod adds dozens of new mission locations, including Annesburg. Enhanced Brawling Creator: 14N001st Download link: NexusMods Enhanced Brawling is a collection of several mods that improve fistfighting in an impressive variety of ways, to the point where Arthur is practically a character from a fighting game . The headline addition is a set of six brawling styles, each with unique grapple moves and animations, and new knife attacks and animations. Enhanced Brawling also adds light and heavy attacks, counter moves, grapple escapes, and the option to chuck your opponent over rails or a wall if such a construction happens to be near when you're grappling. It's a refreshing and deep overhaul of what often feels like Red Dead Redemption 2's weakest system, and having more ways to negotiate with your hands means you can save on ammo, too. No Bounty When Masked Creator: Shtivi Download link: NexusMods Red Dead Redemption 2's No Bounties When Masked mod makes a small but important change to how the game's bounty system works. Normally, Arthur has a bounty placed on him when he commits a robbery or serious crime, even if no one can see his face--an impressive, nearly impossible feat of identification on the part of his witnesses. No Bounty When Masked lives up to its name and keeps Arthur from having a bounty placed on him if he commits a crime when masked, though he'll still be a wanted criminal. The mask has to be up before he does the deed, and if you take it off before his wanted level drops, then the bounty will appear as usual. Basic Needs: Final Cut Creator: Bolmin Download link: NexusMods The Basic Needs mod for Red Dead Redemption 2 expands Rockstar's survival foundation with a selection of new cores to contend with. In addition to stamina and health, you also have to manage hunger, exhaustion, equipment weight, thirst, and, in a twist that makes it a bit like The Sims , urination. Thankfully, Arthur won't die from embarrassment if he has an accident, though. Exhaustion functions like an add-on to stamina and fluctuates depending on what you're doing at a given time of day. Thirst lets you drink from water sources, bathe, or refill your canteen, with a toggle that makes alcohol contribute to Arthur's dehydration, and urination is, well, urination. Hunger, as the mod maker says, is the least developed of the new cores. Failing to eat gives Arthur penalties, but that's about it. The mod lets you toggle any of these cores, so if you only want to impose an equipment weight limit on Arthur, you can ignore the rest. Contracts Remastered Creator: Shtivi Download link: NexusMods Contracts Remastered adds a stealth game touch to the old west with a special type of bounty. Once you install this mod, Arthur can pick up unique bounties that act almost like puzzles. He gets a photograph of his target and a small amount of information about them--and that's it. Your job is remaining observant and picking out the target from the throng of normal NPCs, before deciding how to approach the hit. You can take them out quietly, make a scene by turning them into a hostage, or do whatever else you think might work. The mod even comes with an in-game tutorial to help get you started. Immersive Scenarios Creator: MaybelleElizabethColter Download link: NexusMods Immersive Scenarios is one of the quieter Red Dead Redemption 2 gameplay mods--one that adds a little extra to Arthur's moment-to-moment actions. These are the little, normal, everyday things that other characters can do, such as playing an instrument or leaning against a wall, but that Arthur usually can't. It's perfect for photo mode--and Red Dead 2 has one of the best photo modes around –or if you just want it to seem more like Arthur belongs in the world, instead of him being a passive observer. Bear in mind that the Immersive Scenarios mod only works if an NPC isn't already performing that action. You can't shove someone off a piano bench and take up their song, for example. You'll have to wait until they finish. Stash That Lantern Creator: Juliet G Download link: NexusMods Juliet G's Stash That Lantern mod seems like a simple thing on the surface, but it fixes one of Red Dead Redemption 2's most persistent minor annoyances. Normally, the game treats the lantern as a held object, which means Arthur can't hold anything else in the hand with the lantern. That'd make sense--if Arthur were actually holding the lantern. Red Dead Redemption 2 lets you clip the lantern to Arthur's satchel, but still acts like he's holding it, which leaves you with just one free hand and makes it impossible to use two-handed weapons, among other things. Stash That Lantern resolves the issue. When you clip the lantern to Arthur's satchel with this mod installed, he's free to use both hands. Perfect Pelts Creator: IMaVeRicK Download link: NexusMods Perfect Pelts is another Red Dead Redemption 2 mod that makes a finicky, often-irritating system easier to deal with. Normally, Arthur has a chance of damaging pelts when he hunts an animal, which means you have to go back out into the wild, hunt another beast, and repeat the process again with the right weapon and method. It makes sense, as hunting a small animal with a large shotgun will, of course, damage their skin. Perfect Pelts gives you two new ways to deal with this situation and save time, though. The first makes it so every animal that spawns does so in perfect condition, which means you still have a chance to damage it if you hunt it in a careless manner. The second is completely accident-proof, which means you can use any weapon against any animal and still get a perfect pelt. Stagecoach Robberies Creator: Shtivi Download link: NexusMods Stagecoach Robberies were rather more common in the 19th and early 20th centuries than Red Dead Redemption 2's scant few stagecoach missions would suggest, and this mod aims to fix that imbalance. It generates random stagecoach missions for Arthur to accept in any part of the map, including Tumbleweed, and there's no limit to how many you can tackle. The missions come in two varieties--merchandise that your client wants from the coach and lockboxes for you to empty. Post offices caught up in the robberies will be closed for a time after the mission ends, and like with the game's other robbery missions, if you don't reach the ambush point in time, you fail the mission. Dynamic Seasons Creator: Bolmin Download link: NexusMods Dynamic Seasons is another Red Dead Redemption 2 mod that's perfect for photo mode or for those who just want Arthur's world to feel a little more alive. Normally, seasons don't progress in Red Dead 2. Once you finish the prologue, that's it for the snow for a long time unless you explore certain areas. Dynamic Seasons adds a rotation that sees the seasons cycle, with weather effects and color palettes for each. Autumn, for instance, has a higher chance of more-extreme weather, while winter forces you to manage Arthur's temperature more carefully. The mod's latest version adds a widget that shows the current season and how long it'll last, and you can edit the default season length in the mod's files, too. Jobs Expanded and Enhanced Creator: Bolmin and Shtivi Download link: NexusMods Jobs Expanded and Enhanced is an excellent way to earn quite a lot of cash. The mod adds a job board in every major town with a selection of period-appropriate tasks for Arthur to take on. These range from being a carriage driver--Arthur magically gets his own carriage, so you don't have to buy one for the job--to helping out on a ranch and keeping watch over flocks by night. The pay is high, too. The dock hand job, for example, pays $26, so if you're not keen on treasure hunts or just want to stuff some extra money away, this is the mod for you. You'll need the mod tool Scripthook for Jobs Expanded and Enhanced to work, and Scripthook only functions in single-player mode. If you boot up Red Dead Online with Scripthook running, the program shuts Red Dead Redemption 2 down. Buyable Properties Creator: Bolmin and Dick_Hertz Download link: NexusMods Buyable Properties lets you purchase a home, as the name suggests, though there are a few caveats. Mod creators Bolmin and Dick_Hertz made home buying and decorating an endgame activity, something to keep you busy after you reach the epilogue and (theoretically) have excess cash on hand. It's for John by default, but if you toggle a setting in the mod's files, you can play as Arthur instead. Whatever the case, once you reach the epilogue, you can shop for one of three homes outside of Red Dead Redemption 2's major settlements or even buy a hotel room in one of the three major hotels or the Rhodes Saloon. Red Dead Redemption 2's Buyable Properties mod lets you customize the interior and exterior as you see fit, and the most recent update adds a weapon locker to every property you own.

18 Best Games Like GTA To Play In 2025There are few gaming franchises more successful than Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto . The franchise has become a cultural phenomenon, and while few games can truly replicate the experience of pure GTA, there are plenty of games like GTA that can satisfy the desire to play something similar. Whether you enjoy the driving aspect of GTA, the heists , or the freedom, there are other games that offer a comparable experience. Few games offer everything that GTA does, but every game on this list features a gameplay experience that matches something you might enjoy about one of the titles in the GTA series. However, most games on the list are similar to GTA in that they offer freedom to have fun and cause chaos in an open world. Below, you can see the list we've put together that encompasses the best games you can play if you're looking for something similar to GTA. As a note, this list is in no particular order and primarily includes games that are easily playable today. For more, check out our look at games like Skyrim . Red Dead Redemption 1+2 Developer : Rockstar Games Release Date : May 18, 2010 / October 26, 2018 Platforms : PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch Genre : Action Adventure How else could we kick off this list? The Red Dead Redemption series is also developed by Rockstar Games, and it's much more than simply "GTA in the Old West." While you'll find plenty of the same elements from GTA in RDR, including a large open world, criminal activity, and tons of heists, the stakes are raised when it comes to characters and storytelling. There are few better-told stories in gaming than the ones in Red Dead Redemption, especially in the sequel. Each game has a large cast of characters that evolve as the story goes on. This develops over the course of dozens of fantastic missions and several incredible locations, including Mexico, the Caribbean, and the Old West. See on Best Buy Saints Row 2 Developer : Deep Silver Volition Release Date : October 14, 2008 Platforms : PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC Genre : Action Adventure Dubbed the unofficial GTA "clone," the Saints Row series is beloved by many gaming fans for its authenticity, freedom, and unique style of gameplay. While it's true the game does take clear inspiration from GTA, the games do enough to distinguish themselves to warrant your playtime. In particular, the second Saints Row is widely considered to be the series at its best. You're able to make a character of your own design and are sent off on your own in a large open world straight from the start. You can acquire weapons and vehicles of mass destruction, complete dozens of story or side missions, and essentially do whatever else your heart desires. The story doesn't really compare to anything told by Rockstar Games, but it's engaging to the point that you'll want to see the end credits roll. Fanatical is owned by GameSpot parent company Fandom. See on Fanatical Just Cause 3 Developer : Avalanche Studios Release Date : November 30, 2015 Platforms : PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC Genre : Action Adventure Imagine a huge open world, and then add a grappling hook plus a wingsuit to the mix. That's essentially the entire selling point behind Just Cause 3, which features the best combination of the GTA and Just Cause series. The third installment is set in a tropical paradise that's been overrun by a dictator. You play as Rico Rodriguez and your goal is to create as much destruction on the 2,000-square-kilometer map as possible. That's not a hyperbole either, as the game features a scoring system for how many structures you destroy at a given location. Using your grappling hook and wingsuit, you can acquire dozens of weapons, equipment, and vehicles to aid your destruction goals while navigating the world in a fast-paced and extremely entertaining way. As a note, the entire Just Cause series is fantastic and the three additional games deliver a similar experience to the third installment. See on Steam Watch Dogs 2 Developer : Ubisoft Release Date : November 15, 2016 Platforms : PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC Genre : Action Adventure Watch Dogs is another series that was dubbed a GTA clone, but it has more going on than that. Watch Dogs 2 takes the hacking element the Watch Dogs series is known for and cranks it up a notch. You can hack just about anything in the beautiful recreation of San Francisco that you want. This includes streetlights, cars, phones, cameras, and everything in between. What separates the sequel from its predecessor is the exploration and characters; San Francisco provides hundreds of activities to take part in that don't just boil down to fetch quests. Along the way, you'll meet a vast cast of characters that enrich the story and experience through quirky dialogue and humorous interactions. See on Steam Mad Max Developer : Avalanche Studios Release Date : August 30, 2015 Platforms : PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC Genre : Action Adventure / Driving Mad Max didn't get nearly the attention it deserved when it was released in the summer of 2015. Years later, though, many players discovered what they missed out on, which was a terrific driving game set against the backdrop of the Mad Max universe. While the game does center around driving, which is its strong suit, there's plenty of hand-to-hand combat to provide some on-foot action. The game features Arkham-style combat, so you can perform combos, finishers, and chain targets together with a melee weapon. There are guns as well, but you'll find ammo is difficult to come by. Perhaps the most underrated aspect of Mad Max is the story, however. The start of the game sees your "Magnum Opus" vehicle stolen from you, and your goal is to get it back by any means necessary. Mad Max is a roughly 20-hour game, but those hours are jam-packed with action, intrigue, and downright fun gameplay. See on Fanatical Mafia III Developer : Hangar 13 Release Date : October 7, 2016 Platforms : PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC Genre : Action Adventure One of the more underrated gaming franchises over the past decade is Mafia. While it might look like another GTA clone at first glance, there's a ton of depth to each game. However, if you want the full Mafia experience, you have to go with the third installment. Mafia III features some of the best third-person combat you'll find in an action-adventure game and crisp driving mechanics as well. The story is also not to be overlooked and takes you on a journey of revenge and gut-wrenching decisions. Mafia III is set in an open world, but the map is compact, allowing for exploration without overwhelming you with its size. You could also play Mafia I and II, but you don't need to play those games to understand what's happening in Mafia III. See on Fanatical Cyberpunk 2077 Developer : CD Projekt Red Release Date : December 10, 2020 Platforms : PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC Genre : RPG Cyberpunk 2077 is different from GTA in many ways, including its RPG mechanics and mission structure. However, it's also extremely similar in ways that will appeal to GTA fans. You have absolute freedom to do whatever you want in a large, bustling city that also features massive, lawless outside areas. If you get into trouble, police in Cyberpunk 2077 will hunt you down to the ends of the earth following several updates to the AI. Cyberpunk 2077 features extremely memorable characters, a wild and thrilling story, and some of the best graphics ever seen in a game. You can be anyone and do anything in Cyberpunk's Night City, giving you perhaps even more freedom than in a GTA game. See on Steam Payday 2 Developer : Starbreeze Studios Release Date : August 13, 2013 Platforms : PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC Genre : First-Person Shooter At their core, GTA V and Payday 2 are quite alike in some key ways. Payday 2 foregoes the open world of GTA games in favor of focusing on completing heists, which were arguably the best part of GTA V--if those were your favorite part, then Payday might just scratch that itch. Critically, you can complete Payday 2's heists with up to three other players. The heists are dramatically varied, offering vastly different experiences every time you suit up as one of the Payday crew. The gunplay in Payday 2 is solid and you have dozens of weapons and equipment to choose from for your next heist. A sequel, Payday 3, is also now available, though a variety of complaints have driven much of the fanbase to return to Payday 2, which remains popular after more than a decade. See on Fanatical Bully Developer : Rockstar Games Release Date : October 17, 2006 Platforms : PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PC Genre : Action Adventure Bully is another Rockstar Games masterpiece, but it's incredibly different from anything else it's put out in the past 20 years. The game is set around 15-year-old Jimmy Hopkins, who is attending the Bullworth Academy boarding school. Playing as Jimmy, you have to live life as he would, which means going to class, causing trouble with classmates, and paying the price for any misdeeds. As the name of the game suggests, there's quite a bit of bullying going on at this school, and it's mostly directed at Jimmy. Your main goal in Bully is to push back against the bullies and navigate the school in the best way you can. Bully features fantastic characters, hilarious gameplay, and can be extremely relatable. While it may not be a game centered around causing destruction in an open world, it's worth playing if you're a fan of Rockstar Games and GTA. See on Fanatical L.A. Noire Developer : Rockstar Games Release Date : May 17, 2011 Platforms : PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC Genre : Action/Adventure L.A. Noire is another Rockstar title that doesn't follow the traditional GTA gameplay model. While there's still combat and you're playing in a recreated version of 1940s Los Angeles, your main priority is not engaging with enemies and roaming around an open world. Instead, you play as detective Cole Phelps and solve crimes using deduction and puzzle-solving skills. As you solve more crimes, Phelps ascends the ranks of the LAPD. The story is a standout aspect in L.A. Noire, and the crime-solving sections are incredibly in-depth and will certainly leave you scratching your head at times. See on Fanatical Sleeping Dogs Developer : United Front Games Release Date : August 13, 2012 Platforms : PlayStation 3, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC Genre : Action Adventure / RPG Sleeping Dogs is over a decade old at this point, but it has aged extremely well. It's one of the most underrated action-adventure games from the 2010s, and any GTA fan will find something they like about it. The game takes place in Hong Kong and you play as Wei Shen, an undercover detective attempting to infiltrate the Triads gang. As the game goes on, you earn more trust within the gang, but it becomes increasingly difficult to keep your cover intact. This plot makes for an excellent and memorable story, with plenty of characters to meet along the way. As for combat, you can fight your way across an open world using martial arts attacks, which feature gory finishers and animations. If you don't feel like fighting, you can take part in street races and acquire new vehicles to drive around the open world. See on Steam Crackdown Developer: Realtime Worlds Release Date: February 20, 2007 Platforms: Xbox 360 (backwards compatible) Genre: Action Adventure The first two entries in Crackdown series were only released on Xbox 360, but backwards compatibility makes them playable on modern Xbox consoles, including Series X|S. It was originally thought up by David Jones, the man who created the GTA series, and features plenty of the same elements as the older GTA games. Crackdown puts a unique spin on its gameplay, though, as you're essentially a super human that can run fast, jump far and high, pick up and throw vehicles, and more. You're playing Crackdown strictly for the open-world gameplay, as the story and characters take a backseat to all the action, but it's some very fun action. If you end up enjoying the formula and want more, the aforementioned Saints Row series delved into this style with Saints Row 4. See on Xbox Lego City Undercover Developer: TT Games Release Date: March 18, 2013 Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Wii U, PC Genre: Action Adventure Lego City Undercover is certainly not the first game that comes to mind when you think of games like GTA. However, the gameplay isn't too dissimilar from other games on this list. Sure, you're playing as a Lego figure, but that just adds to the enjoyment factor. Lego City Undercover is an open-world game that sees you play as Chase McClain, an undercover cop who is aiming to hunt down an escaped convict. Over the course of the story, you can explore 20 unique districts, drive dozens of vehicles, and catch crooks who you find breaking the law. It might be the antithesis of what GTA is all about by playing on the side of the law, but there are also undercover parts where you get to be a criminal. See on Best Buy Maniac Developer: Transhuman Design Release Date: March 28, 2024 Platforms: PC Genre: Roguelike / Action Finally, the last spot on our list goes to the most recent title we've featured. Whereas many of the other games on this list emulate the modern style of GTA established with GTA 3, Maniac is a callback to the original GTA games, where your only job was to create mayhem across a city from an isometric perspective. The game is a roguelike that scales with how much chaos you can cause. The entire world is against you in this top-down simulation, and you can unlock myriad weapons, vehicles, characters, and perks to destroy anything and everything around you. As you create more mayhem, more opposing forces will come in to try and stop you, which will appeal to those who love wreaking havoc and racking up the Wanted stars in GTA. See on Fanatical Max Payne 3 Developer : Rockstar Games Release Date : May 15, 2012 Platforms : PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC Genre : Third-Person Shooter Max Payne is yet another Rockstar Games franchise and the third and final installment of the series. With it being Rockstar, you'll certainly feel some GTA elements here and there. It's still a third-person shooter with some interesting movement mechanics and a well-written story with engaging characters. However, the gunplay in Max Payne 3 is somewhat different from what you find in GTA. It was considered revolutionary for the time, back when it was released in 2012, and features precise aiming, slowdown mechanics during gunfights, and killshots. However, the core gunplay does feel like it was the early testing ground for what Rockstar eventually did with GTA V, giving fans a familiar feel to the GTA experience. Aside from the gunplay, Max Payne 3 features a classic Rockstar story, full of gripping and intense scenes, moments of betrayal, and a protagonist who has a myriad of problems that only get worse as the game goes on. The world in Max Payne 3 isn’t open world, which is certainly a departure for Rockstar, but the characters, gunplay, and storytelling make it feel like a GTA game, just with a linear experience instead of an open-ended one. See on Fanatical Crime Boss: Rockay City Developer : Ingame Studios Release Date : March 28, 2023 Platforms : PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC Genre : First-Person Shooter Some games on this list emulate only one or two elements from the GTA franchise. Crime Boss: Rockay City is meant to offer a similar experience to completing heists in GTA V and GTA Online. Heists are essentially the main gameplay experience you'll have in the game, as the sole objective is to assemble a team, plan out a mission, and then execute it using different strategies. Crime Boss: Rockay City can also be compared to the Payday franchise. Rockay City isn't going to deliver nearly the same caliber of experience as GTA does, and indeed, it received middling reviews upon release. That said, the graphics are decent, and the first-person shooting can feel rewarding, but heists are the sole name of the game, and with four-player co-op , it can be enjoyable with a group of friends. If you're playing solo, you can still have fun if you're into the heist gameplay, but it does get repetitive after a while. See on Fanatical Far Cry 6 Developer : Ubisoft Release Date : October 7, 2021 Platforms : PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC Genre : First-Person Shooter A majority of the Far Cry games could slide in here, but we're choosing the latest installment in the series, Far Cry 6. Set in the fictional country of Yara, which closely resembles Cuba, you step into the shoes of a rebel fighter who is tasked with taking down the dictatorship that rules over the country with an iron fist. Your journey takes place over a massive open world that consists of small settlements, vast jungles, and open oceans. However, you also get to explore the country's capital, which is a sprawling city that's the closest thing you'll find to Los Santos in the game. Far Cry 6 doesn't feature an overwhelming number of similarities to GTA, but the open world is vast and encourages chaos at most junctions. You also get to meet a cast of colorful characters, interact with some drug rings, and drive an assortment of vehicles as you progress through the story, which culminates in a spectacular fight between you and the game's main villain, played by Giancarlo Esposito. See on Amazon Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Developer : Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio Release Date : January 25, 2024 Platforms : PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC Genre : RPG As a whole, the entire Yakuza franchise could be an entry on this list, as the games feature plenty of crime, action, and memorable quests and characters. However, we're opting to select the newest Yakuza game, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, due to its setting. You're placed right in the middle of the Pacific, where you get to see both Hawaii and Japan. You can explore beaches as well as a buzzing downtown district where action is always awaiting around the corner. In terms of combat, Yakuza features an entirely different system from GTA. You and up to three other NPC party members utilize different skills and attacks to take enemies down. But it's your relationship with the city you navigate that is most reminiscent of Japan. The Yakuza series has always been great about making its locations feel like real places, and Infinite Wealth's map is overflowing with activities to take part in, giving you hours of additional content outside of the main story. Some of the side content has you delivering food on a bike, while other quests involve clearing out a nightclub that's full of enemies. See on Fanatical
