Grassrivers is the swamp country between Vice City and the rest of the state. Rockstar’s description leans on what you cannot see: the gators are the famous part, but there are deadlier predators and weirder discoveries among the mangroves.
The official screenshots show stilt houses and boats on open water, airboats cutting through the channels, and the Vice City skyline on the horizon.
