Best of Rockstar games

So here’s the good news. The new GTA VI game is coming out. We know that and most of us saw the new trailer released last week over a dozen times. But we have to wait until May 2026 to finally get to play the game. And that’s the bad news. But hey, let’s not forget that Rockstar Games made a whole lot of great open world games, so if patience is your weakness or something you’re trying to improve on, especially when you’re waiting for the new GTA VI, then here are some of the best of Rockstar games you can play now.

 

 

Top-Rated Best of Rockstar games

 

6 – Grand Theft Auto III

 

Starting with the very first game 3D open world game, which was recently remastered, Grand Theft Auto III. I like how the game preserves the unique elements of the original, while bringing it to a new audience with improved graphics.

You can still see how significant this game was for open-world games despite the upgraded graphics. Even with its more antiquated layout, Liberty City is nonetheless a great destination to explore because it has a genuine, gritty feel to it.

The plot, which centers on a guy attempting to succeed in the criminal underworld, is straightforward but captivating. Also, it’s still a lot of fun to drive around, cause mayhem whilst listening to the various radio stations.

It’s just like what ‘Grand Theft Auto’ is all about. It’s a good way to see the origins of today’s popular open-world games. If you wanna relive the original GTA game that started the whole open world gaming genre, then get the remastered GTA III, included on the GTA Trilogy.  

 

 

5 – Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

 

Another remastered game is Grand Theft Auto: Vice City which transports you back to the 1980s. The city itself is like entering a vintage film, complete with sunny beaches, tall palm trees, and the bright neon lights.

Another major factor in this game’s excellence is the music. The entire experience is made much more amazing when you’re driving around and listening to music from the 80s era.

In addition, it’s entertaining to read about Tommy Vercetti’s rise to prominence in this ostentatious city. While it still has the typical Grand Theft Auto distinct craziness, GTA Vice City has an authentic sound and style that sets it apart and gives the impression that it’s a completely new and enjoyable area to cause mischief.

So, if you relive the nostalgia of the 80s, and play one of the most the best of Rockstar games of its time, then get yourself the remastered GTA Trilogy, which includes Vice City.  

 

 

4 – Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

 

What I really like about recently remastered Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is how big and varied the open world is. It’s not just one city; you get three whole cities and the countryside in between to explore. Each place feels different and has its own vibe.

Plus, you get to do so many different things in the game, like riding motorbikes, driving lowriders, listening to 90s hip hop while cruising the highway, and even flying airplanes.

The main story about our protagonist, CJ, and his journey is also really engaging, and you meet all sorts of memorable characters along the way.

It felt like a huge adventure with a lot of freedom to do what you wanted, and that made it a really special and fun game to play. 

So, if you wanna relive the nostalgia of 90s, and play one of the most iconic Rockstar games of the PS2 era, then get yourself the remastered GTA Trilogy, which includes San Andreas.  

 

 

3 – Red Dead Redemption

 

Even though it came out a while ago, Red Dead Redemption game is still one of the best I’ve ever played. Released in 2011, It was the very first open world Wild West game I’ve ever played.

What I liked most was the feeling of being a real cowboy. The world felt vast and open, and riding my horse across those dusty plains, shooting and using a lasso to catch criminals for bounties, and other missions, just felt awesome.

The story about our main protagonist, John Marston, trying to do right by his family, was also really well done and made you care about what happened to him. It was a bit sad at times, but it was an engaging story that stuck with you.

Even without all the fancy stuff in the second game, the first Red Dead Redemption just had this amazing feeling of adventure and a great story that made it a game I’ll still remember today.

 

 

2 – Red Dead Redemption 2

 

What I really like about Red Dead Redemption 2 is how real and alive the game world feels. Riding your horse through the big open world feels like you’re actually there.

The wild animals, the towns and cities, and even the weather just adds to the realism. Plus, the story about Arthur Morgan and his gang is super interesting.

You get to know the characters and care about what happens to them. It’s not just about shooting; it’s about friendship and tough times.

Red Dead 2 is amazing on its own, but Red Dead Online brings a whole lot more adventures. One good thing is that you get to explore that same huge, beautiful world with your friends. Riding together, hunting, and just messing around in the Wild West with other players online can be a lot of fun.

Another good thing is that there’s always something new to do. They keep adding new missions, roles you can take on (like being a Bounty Hunter or a Trader), and events to play.

This means the game doesn’t get boring as quickly, and there are always reasons to come back and play. Plus, you get to make your own character and build your own story in that world, which is pretty cool.

And even though it’s a long game, it’s always fun to just ride around, explore, and get into little adventures. It’s a game that really pulls you in and makes you feel like you’re part of its world. So if it’s you’re a fan of cowboys and Wild West games with a Rockstar tweak, then give Red Dead Redemption 2 a try. 

 

 

1 – Grand Theft Auto 5

 

If you haven’t played this game yet, GET IT NOW. You’ll really enjoy it. In fact, this one is my favorite and takes the number one spot. I really like Grand Theft Auto 5 because its world, Los Santos, feels alive, and vibrant with lots of cool stuff to do and explore.

The main story about our three protagonists Michael, Franklin, and Trevor is also great, and the different lives they live make playing GTA 5 a lot more fun and interesting to play. The missions, especially the big heists, are really exciting.

GTA Online part adds a whole lot of extra fun. One of the best things is that you get to mess around in the big city of Los Santos with your friends. You can do crazy missions together, race cars, or just cause chaos. It’s like having a giant playground where you can do almost anything you can imagine with others online.

Another cool thing about GTA Online is that there’s always new stuff being added. New cars, new missions, new businesses to run, even fun events to get into. The game never really gets old, and there’s always something fresh and exciting to try out.

You also get to create your own character, buy cool cars and houses, and build your own criminal empire.

Overall, it’s a big, amazing game with a world you can really get lost in, a good story, great cut scenes, and tons more to do online. For me, I recommend you get your hands on one of the greatest open world games of all time, Grand Theft Auto 5.
