There’s just one noticeable exception: the feel of the world itself. On a purely technical level, GTA Online still looks great, and with tools like the flying Oppressor motorbike and the nuclear-powered Koastka submarine, Rockstar is able to keep players focus on new content over the old. It’s a picture of avarice, wealth, and stability that feels downright surreal in 2022. Players can pull off daring heists in heavily guarded casinos and on private islands rich with cocaine and gold they can buy expensive sports cars and race them on Hot Wheels-style tracks they can also hang out with Dr. In Grand Theft Auto Online, Rockstar has built an elaborate theme park around the fantasy of being an unchained rich criminal.
