Sports games aren’t just repetitive year over year, they are repetitive within the game. They are literally just grinding for the sake of grinding. No deep variety across modes, just packaged grinding differently.
There’s very small variance in main character motivation. Most characters are trying to “save” something.
GTA is far more immersive than most other games. The amount of things you can do (if you want to) in the franchise is pretty unmatched in the industry. Different vehicles that actually feel different, leisure activities (gambling, golf, basketball,etc) money making activities (stock, taxi, seeking car missions) rescue jobs (fireman, police, ambulance).
