As one of the most influential crime-focused game franchises, Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto has maintained a dominant presence in the gaming industry since its first release in the late '90s. With GTA 6 on the horizon, expected to arrive late next year, the franchise is set to solidify its status as the top dog in the genre. That said, a lot has changed since the 2013 release of GTAV. With the extended wait for GTA 6 being over 10 years, other game mechanics, particularly combat, may come under closer scrutiny.
