“The American Dream comes with a body count.”
This is Rockstar’s most mature, most honest game. There’s no Vinewood, no satire. Just Liberty City, dark and cold, pulsing with corruption and concrete.
Niko Bellic isn’t flashy. He’s haunted. A war veteran trying to wash off blood with more blood. The story is heavy, the weight of consequence never lets up. Choices sting. Death has meaning. You feel the loneliness in every call Roman makes.
The city feels alive but suffocating. Grit replaces glamour.
The radio, the voice acting, the physics, It's unreal. Car chases hurt, shootouts feel raw, and friendships? They matter here.
It’s a tragedy disguised as a sandbox.
And it’s one of the best stories ever told in gaming.

This is Rockstar's Magnum Opus. A highly underrated and gritty entry in the GTA series.
If you're going to play it then be sure to download the following.
1. DXVK
2. FusionFix
3. Lossless Scaling (£5 on Steam - introduces Frame Generation to squeeze out some FPS stability)
4. Radio Restorer for the original music

One of the best games ever made.
BUT you will need mods to make this PC version on par with the console version from 2008 tho.
(Look up TJGM's "Fixing GTA IV with mods" tutorial on YT to figure out how)

Amazing game, *very* bad PC port. Make sure to patch the game with mods if you want to enjoy it properly. At a bare minimum, you should at least install:
- FusionFix
- DXVK
- Various Fixes
There's plenty of tutorials for each of them. Google is your friend! Happy gaming!

It's a great game, but if you want to play it, I recommend getting FusionFix. The game's physics engine is tied to framerate, so the game can (and will) break at higher frames. FusionFix can solve this problem by giving you a frame limiter, and other nice quality of life fixes.
