Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition
Niko Bellic, Johnny Klebitz and Luis Lopez all have one thing in common - they live in the worst city in America. Liberty City worships money and status, and is heaven for those who have them and a living nightmare for those who don't.

“There is nothing quite like GTAIV. From an amazing storyline, to the intricate characters that make this game come to life, GTAIV remains iconic 18 years after it's release. Each encounter adds substance to the in-depth…”
“Wonderfully written story set in a beautifully recognizable reimagining of late 2000s NYC, memorable characters, fun missions and wonderful art direction. However I would strongly recommend installing a mod called…”

“Played on Xbox 360, Playstation 3, PC, and still a great game. Its a shame GTA 5 left out so many QoL features and physics from this. Fusion Fix needed and certain missions require a framerate cap of 60. Game is…”

“Good Game. Really enjoyed this Game. Everything is just so perfectly balanced, and executed, down to the last minute detail. This ranges from gameplay, to mechanics, all the way through to the physics engine. She’s a…”
“I played this for hours and enjoyed it. The graphics and music are outstanding. Gameplay is solid, and the story is excellent — I highly recommend it. Note: optimization is poor for me (and others), some fixes exist via…”

“For me personally, it’s the best GTA ever made. It has a fantastic story and a dark take on the American Dream. Niko is probably the most Red Dead Redemption–like character in the series. I also really like the vehicle…”
“greatest game in the series, the DLC's are worth it too. 100% download fusionfix mod, it is free and easy to set up. fixes all issues”
“The story is easily one of Rockstar’s best – dark, realistic, and actually emotional. Liberty City has a unique atmosphere that still holds up really well. The DLCs (The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony) might…”

“Fun to play, but riddled with bugs. I'm stuck on the story progression. The game does not let me progress after the 86th mission. Apparently it's a well-known bug and Rockstar still hasn't fixed it to this day. The port…”
“For 4€ i can't really thumb this down... This is the 1st time i played this game (in 2026). Decided to do so since it's the only GTA i haven't played. I know this came out 2008, so there are technical limitations , but…”

“This port is pretty bad, but if you use the fusion fix mod, fixes most if not all issues. I'm really enjoying it and it's my first play through”

“The mouse just doesn't work. Fusion fix or not. Worthless purchase of a game that won't capture one of the most important utility of keyboard & mouse gaming. All 11 minutes were just me starting the game 6 times and all…”

— a player, Steam review · 26 hrs played“GTA IV's Story Is Better Than GTA V's, and naturally it has an even better protagonist. Niko Bellic is one of the best developed characters rockstar has ever came up with, inspired by the fictional character of Sasha Ivanic from the movie "Behind the enemy lines". The game is…”
— a player, Steam review · 25 hrs played“A complete unoptimized experience. A game so beloved with an unfortunate state of accessibility, since Rockstar straight up refuses to fix it. Not only is this the worst port of the game, but there is no way to resolve its main issues. The game suffers from performance issues…”
