Grand Theft Auto V/ GTA Online (Original Release: 2013, Xbox 360 & PS3)

Best: Grand Theft Auto Online: While it launched in a rough state and took a few years to fully become a thing worth playing, GTA Online ended up being GTA V’s secret weapon: A big, always-expanding online GTA spin-off that has hooked millions of players for years.
Worst: Grand Theft Auto Online: On the other hand, boy it’s a bummer that GTA Online has seemed so completely stalled the franchise. We used to get a new GTA game or spin-off every two or three years. Now, we’ve gone a decade without anything but some crappy remasters. Worse, GTA Online is starting to feel really old, and exploring the same city and map for a decade is not much fun. We need GTA VI, something to help revitalize the series, but that highly-anticipated game still seems years away…
