Mafia: Definitive Edition reviews and comments
What I liked in this game:
+ Characters - main character's development; chemistry between this big dysfunctional family; great voice acting
+ Plot - although short, predictable and 'generic' it does tell the story in a captivating way - I didn't get bored by it
+ Driving around the nicely designed locations
+ Action sequences - they're not anything amazing, they're rather simple but enjoyable - although I didn't play classic difficulty
+ Music and noire vibe in general
+ No major bugs
What I disliked in this game: - The infamous race - I did have some problems with it despite me liking racing games - Collecting all things may get boring and annoying without guide - Bushes - don't drive into them, those are immortal - Lack of things to do around the city, unless you just want to go on a rampage and kill everything that moves Overall, I recommend buying this game. 7.5/10

It’s a slow start. Especially gameplay wise. They are setting up a story so a lot of cutscenes and walking around. I don’t mind the cutscenes as the start to the story has been decent enough but I am hoping the gameplay picks up. It feels quite old, which it is. I am liking the mafia vibes though. But really it’s making me wish we had a modern, 1930 city game made by rockstar….
I’m liking the story. A church shootout! Love it.
This games pretty great. Besides the fact that it’s old and plays like it, it’s very fun. The story is great and after the first 3 or 4 slower opening missions they have all been good. The gameplay could definitely be tighter but I’ve gotten used to it and the slidy aiming almost works with the 1930s vibes. Lots of spraying and missed shots but I don’t feel like they should be sharpshooters so I’ve been treating like it’s part of the game (even though I don’t think it’s intentional, I think it just doesn’t control very well). Also I lowered the difficulty down to medium, which it rarely do in games, because I don’t think the scripted segments are very well balanced. The car race was ridiculously hard and then there was another mission where you shoot an armoured vehicle from the back of your car and the controls are too shit to justify the difficulty. It’s been more fun on medium. I’m here for the journey not to try the same mission 10+ times in a row. It’s not a souls game.
Finished it. Liked it. Ending was decent too. The epilogue cutscene maybe was a bit rushed but overall I liked the story.
Final Score: B+

A love story-driven games. Mafia has a simple yet solid story, likable characters and good voice acting. Some of the elements are pretty dated like face-capturing, physics, few things to do in the city, yet the game stands the test of time.
