I’m looking for games that capture the essence of GTA: San Andreas, specifically those with a lot of activities to engage in between missions, like working out, eating, claiming territory, and dating. I’ve already played Yakuza and Sleeping Dogs, so I’m not looking for recommendations for those titles. Any other suggestions?

Have you tried Red Dead Redemption 2? It’s often compared to GTA for its expansive world and all the side activities you can do. Plus, it gives a similarly rich narrative experience since it’s also developed by Rockstar.
Don’t forget about Saints Row! It has that open-world chaos like GTA with plenty of wacky side activities to keep you entertained.
The Godfather game could be what you’re after! It definitely immerses you in the mafia lifestyle with various activities like managing your territory and doing jobs.
If you’re open to something a bit different, have you considered True Crime: Streets of L.A.? It has some of those side missions and activities you might enjoy, too!
You might want to check out Mafia III. It has a feel that’s reminiscent of GTA and boasts a really compelling story to go along with the gameplay.
Totally agree! It’s a gem that gets overlooked. I actually prefer it over the Mafia series because it feels more like living the mob life with all the money protection and shop owner stuff.
