GTA 5 Online is a well constructed game that is still being played quite a lot and has a active player community.
Rockstar still upgrades the game with the next big DLC upgrade ("Casino DLC") right arround the corner.
The game has graphics that still compete with a lot of newer games, a very nice storymode and a very complex multiplayer.
The open-world of the game is one of the best of its kind because of the level of realism and detail put into it.

The only thing I really need to criticise is the lack of rockstar responding to community wishes and patching the wrong bugs/glitches. Because of that the freemode of GTA Online has basically become a warzone full with futuristic and/or weponized vehicles pretty much destroying the once so present "crime" aspect of the game and runing the overall experience especially for new players who have nothing to defend them against all kinds of tryhards and griefers.

The game could be way better if some game mechanics were nerved and (maybe through the new DLC) the crime aspect would get more into the focus of game again.
But because of the incredible open-world, storymode and the fun you can have with friends in this game, it is a clear recommendation for you to play it even long after its release.
