Now that the hype has died off, how good was GTA V in reality?

[PenguinZ]

It's the best GTA to date in terms of mechanics and the game world, though I still had favor Vice City and San Andreas just a bit more. I'd probably give it a 9/10.

I will say that the torture mission was over the line, even for GTA... It actually made me put down the game for a few days.
