Yeah this is definitely the most hyped game for this year that actually should be really good.
I typically take official critic reviews with a grain of salt most of the time. I tend to stick to general user reviews and those on youtube reviewing that don't have any ties to the gaming company or sales of the game. The disparity though between official critics and users isn't nearly like it can be with movies or shows though, so when critics of a game are giving it 100 review grades, chances are they are right.
I dont know when I am getting it. Might wait a bit just because I want to have lots of time to sink into it, which I wont have for a bit. But it is definitely a must buy eventually. I trust Rockstar doing this game right, one of the only triple A companies I do trust anymore. Rockstar, CD Projext Red, and Bethesda are about the only 3 companies I still trust overall. Oh and Blizzard too.

Just checking in, the game is as amazing as the reviews mentioned. The attention to detail in this game is something I have never seen before in my life.

Here is my official take on it, the story portion of the game though as the online portion is still in 'beta'.
There are two games in the last 5 years that I place at the top for immersion and storytelling. The Witcher 3 and Red Dead 2. I am currently on my second full playthrough, as I also did another small playthrough using a save point to do a bad honor ending.
The world is the best open world I have ever played though. It is like a living/breathing world to roam around in, something very rare in games. Then all the little secrets and easter egg stuff, telling little stories is great.
Now there are still visual bugs and other ones, like my horse just vanished after a mission. Not at stable or at camp or anywhere. Did a full exit and re-load and it was back. Scared me too because she was the white Arabian.
I wont go into too much of stuff, though I have found out, some via youtube, almost all the secrets like taking down the vampire and the UFO.
My final grade 9.5/10.
