PC, Xbox, PlayStation 4/5, Nintendo Switch; Rockstar Games/Grove Street Games/Take-Two InteractiveThese remasters feel less stable than the glitchy originals, with a lack of attention to detail that undermines the games’ character

Given the extreme complexity of the art form, remasters of decades-old games can be … variable. But when a publisher applies the label “definitive edition” to newly packaged versions of three landmark open-world crime games, games that loom so large in collective pop-cultural memory, it is reasonable to expect more than unstable rereleases with a graphical update. These versions of Grand Theft Auto III (2001), Vice City (2002) and San Andreas (2004) are in no way definitive. Seeing them like this is more than a disappointment. It is infuriating.
