2001
Grand Theft Auto III
Betrayed on a bank job and left for dead in Liberty City.
The story
GTA III took the series into 3D and changed open-world games for good. A silent criminal survives betrayal by his partner Catalina, then climbs through the city's gangs on the way to revenge.
How it plays
Liberty City opens one island at a time as the story moves on. Between missions you are free to explore, take side jobs and hunt hidden packages. It was later remastered in The Definitive Edition.
