Many players feel that the remaster fails to capture the original's aesthetic, often resulting in a jarring experience due to inconsistent texture quality and character models. Overall, while the remaster offers some enhancements, it is marred by technical issues that detract from the nostalgic experience.

    • “The updated graphics, improved character models, and reimagined environments evoke a sense of nostalgia, transporting players back to the bustling streets and diverse landscapes of Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas.”
    • “The graphics look even better than I expected for a PS2-era game.”
    • “The definitive edition brings several graphical improvements to 'San Andreas,' including higher resolution textures, enhanced lighting, and refined character models.”

    • “These 'remasters' are very poorly made, many new glitches and problems were introduced, all in the favor of graphics, which in some cases are worse, especially on the characters.”
  • stability186 mentions

    • “This runs great on the Steam Deck and my PC; I've been enjoying this nostalgia trip, and the game still looks good!”

    • “There are several instances of game mechanics being worse in this edition than they were in the original on top of loads of geometry glitches.”
