The Enhanced version of Grand Theft Auto 5, released on March 4th, is failing to impress players, resulting in a flood of negative Steam reviews. As of this writing, the game holds a Mixed rating with a 54% positive score.

The primary complaint centers on the graphics, with players stating that the visual enhancements are negligible. Furthermore, some gamers have reported issues when attempting to transfer their characters.

Here's what players are saying:

«Absolutely nothing has changed. Sure, they added ray tracing support in the settings, but enabling it doesn’t actually do anything. It's basically the same GTA, but with a new name» — t31k10n.

«Can't transfer my character, the graphics haven't changed at all, especially if you played with mods. Same FPS, ray tracing only works with frame generation, which can't be disabled» — lisik.

«New day, same game. Regular GTA 5, it's like there's no new features at all» — r1lich.

«Just an extra 100 GB. 0% difference. In some ways, it's even worse» — STELS_DEP.

«Can't transfer progress from the Legacy version to this one, great» — looki.

«Seriously, how can you release something like this? Worse graphics, lower FPS» — zer0$evenday7.

«Can't transfer my character, the graphics haven't changed at all» — Vasyl.

«Can’t see any graphic changes» — Viking.

«Graphic changes are completely unnoticeable. Old bugs haven't been fixed. New bugs have appeared. FPS is 2-3 times lower?» — CAMERON.

«Download 91 GB, then wait for it to unpack another 91 GB. Basically, everything's just gotten worse, absolutely nothing has changed, don't waste your time» — BigBugaga.

«They removed the text chat. The graphics have barely changed, there are only more precise shadows and RTX-powered reflections» — RELEVIL.
