tldr: Good game, TERRIBLE remaster. Rockstar Launcher nonsense, broken NPC AI, 30FPS-dependent missions, ugly yellow filter and new flying controls are straight from hell. And yes, this is the "fixed" version in 2026. I played Vice City DE and while obviously not perfect, I didn't find that one nearly as buggy or annoying as San Andreas. So I was expecting more or less the same experience here. Oh man. There are SO...

The worst remaster in gaming history. - Game mechanics don't work properly - Terrible graphics - Doughy-looking characters - AI is abysmal—weak and dysfunctional. Bottom line: Don't buy this game; it's not worth it.

I honestly don’t think I’ll ever get tired of San Andreas. I have so many memories with this game from when I was younger, and coming back to it now just feels different. It’s not even about the graphics or anything, it’s just the feeling this game gives me. Some games are just part of your childhood, and this is definitely one of them.

At 85% of gameplay my game broke and all the vehicle traffic disappeared. Wow

Whatever team manages Rockstar's launcher is utterly incompetent to fix the launcher issues that prevent this game from working in Proton anymore without going through hurdles, all in order to provide a substandard service that is barely any better than spyware. I was enjoying this game for nostalgia reasons, but the forced launcher (which has to be installed separately for each game) is just the worst thing.

This whole trilogy should've been handled by Rockstar in the first place so they get a thumbs down from me just for allowing this remaster trilogy to be butchered by a third rate development team before they finally came and fixed it themselves. Also all these games require the Rockstar's awful launcher! The characters look too waxy and there's still bugs here and there!

I have always liked GTA San Andreas, as a kid, this was one of the first games I ever played, but back then I didn't really follow the story, so I mostly just played around and gave up at the Flying School because I could not get through those plane missions, haha. But now I am playing the GTA franchise again before GTA VI comes out, and playing San Andreas now and actually paying attention to the story, I was...

San Andreas is one of my favorite GTA game from the series. I love the mission slop and the weird content it has. I do prefer a more realistic roleplay game like Red Dead 2, but this game is old school so I love it for that. Sadly the original is gone from Steam. I do like this version better for few things. Whats better: The Hud, and weapon, and music slot is really easy to navigate. The restart and...

One of the sloppiest ports for PC I've ever seen. 50\50 chance of booting or crashing video driver. Options randomly reset to defaults on relaunch. Really keeps life exciting....
