When it comes to open-world games, the first thing that inexplicably comes to our minds is GTA. Apart from the detail and power bestowed upon users, the ability to live your life in a parallel dimension where actions don't have consequences is what draws new players to GTA, year after year. This phenomenon has also given birth to several other games which have tried to replicate this formula, with few of them succeeding.
However, if you are done and dusted with every mission in the latest edition of GTA, you don't necessarily need to wait for the next one to come out. Widely known for its user-created games, Roblox has prompted people across the globe to give their own ode to GTA, with many games standing out for their rich and immersive world.
