15 Best Sandbox Missions of All Time

The Big Score – Grand Theft Auto 5

While Rockstar gets a decent amount of flak for not letting you deviate from mission objectives in its games, Grand Theft Auto 5 does offer a decent amount of freedom. The Big Score offered two unique ways to complete its heist – being “subtle” which involves taking the gold with minimum fuss and escaping in muscle cars or going loud and drilling into the vault, creating a ruckus and using helicopters to get away. Each has their own unique set-up missions and depending on the crew chosen, you may see unintended consequences (like losing $18 million from the final tally). As the heist to end all heists, it’s well worth the hype. Just make sure not to die.
