    But since its a remake, I must rate it in comparsion with the original game from 2002. New version lacks depth, characters are made plain, there is no real story or character building.

It's called the 21st century gaming industry ... Expand

    Hello Friends!
    It's not worth the $40 money thrown out.
    It's neutered by Mafia-DE. Scriptically - absolutely pale characters. Circumcised in many places story. In the time of the original, of course, it looked different. Now - it looks and is played as flawed as possible. In the third part there was at least an open city with a game in it. And DE is by playability chapters with tasks

    In the third part there was at least an open city with a game in it. And DE is by playability chapters with tasks on which you just go non-stop.
    In the "walking around the city" everything is closed, you will not be allowed even on the tram for npc and the train station doors are locked which was for playing in the original Mafia.
    For 2020, as a game - it sucks.
    Trim the original, turning it into a much more boring game.

    If you want nostalgia - it is better to play the original.
    It's a DE game of shaming that doesn't cause anything but surprise how much those who did it in general didn't care about the final product and the joys of the players.

    - Regards.

    If you've played the original Mafia 1, and are hoping that the "Definitive Edition"would be an improvement on that, you'd be disappointed. The DE got rid of almost all the small things that made the original such a favorite to its fans- the side missions, the balance and difficulty of fighting the AI, tram/train for players, the original soundtracks, even the character arc of Tommy.If you've played the original Mafia 1, and are hoping that the "Definitive Edition"would be an improvement on that, you'd be disappointed.

    This obvious issues that need to be fixed and as of yet, no patches nor updates. I hope one day in the future I might be able to play it when modders contribute to this game.

    I didn't think that after a year, the game was never finished. Not introduced a unit of currency money, not expanded the story (as made it short not complete) no interaction in freeride.
    We all Mafia fans just got screwed for our money.

    All you had to do was refresh the original game, not change it... Unfortunately this game is empty, shallow. I don't understand why someone feels like changing something when we are talking about a freakin remake...

    The story is cut and remade in a ridiculous way. Music is close to non existent, contrary to original where the music was on practically all the time. Side mission with Luca
    All you had to do was refresh the original game, not change it... Unfortunately this game is empty, shallow. I don't understand why someone feels like changing something when we are talking about a freakin remake...

    The story is cut and remade in a ridiculous way. Music is close to non existent, contrary to original where the music was on practically all the time. Side mission with Luca are gone, Ralphie practically gives us 2-3 cars the entire game. There is no free time in between the missions, it's like introduction, fast forward to action, some shooting and then boom, next mission. No side talks with Sam and Paulie, just jumping from action to action.

    In the original we were feeling the world development, as the years passed, the cars got better and you could really feel that changes in the city. Here there is practically no difference at all, not that it matters as there is not a chance to even know the city, if the mission allows driving the target is usually really close.

    So the story/characters were ready, all the devs had to was refresh the graphics and maybe even add something new to the story, but no, let's shorten the story and change it and don't even think about adding some content... If you wanted to write new story just create a new game, oh whoops, I forgot you made one, Mafia III which was utterly booring (at least the music was fine there).

    To sum up, this game is not worth the money. The graphic is good, but all else, just not worth it, and if you are a fan of the original, it's painful to play this game knowing how they ruined such good story.

    I'm pretty sure I will play original game many times again (already did like 4 times) but I doubt I will ever play definitive edition again...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mafia 3: Tommy Angelo DLC. Let's get into the positive things:
    -Lost Heaven looks great.
    -Some sounds are good.
    -The cut scenes are good.

    Now let me explain why is a 10/10 game:
    -Lost Heaven people are suffering brain damage, the AI lost Tommy if he's over a box, they also run to random spots and some times friendly AI doesn't shoot.
    -They do a good effort with the random people fighting animation on the street, but you open doors with your mind faster than a bullet. Also the melee animation is awful, you always elude with the same animation whether the enemy has a knife or a baseball bat.
    -People is cover in oil, because when it's raining, they ain't wet at all, unless they are in a cut scene 'cause there is where we draw the line.
    -Gunplay is great, you can get in cover like in Gears of War, throw grenades like in Gears of War, don't recognize when you are low in health like in GoW and run raising hell to the enemy like in Gears of War. Sadly you ain't playing Gears of War and Tommy ain't a trained soldier. Also, death animations are taken from Hentai Hitler.
    -There is a stealth gameplay, sadly for this Mafia 3 DLC , they didn't change the horrible stealth system from the original mafia 3. Tommy is cover in lethal poison, 'cause hugging someone from behind it's immediately dead.
    -There is a simulation driving option, sadly you are simulating the arcade driving, because those options are the same.

    Something good about this remake/dlc is the rewriting they did to the story, because Tommy Angelo in the original was a **** with feelings and all that **** luckily they changed that. Spoilers ahead. In the Corleone Hotel mission, Tommy is sent to kill the manager and a girl. In the original, Tommy understand that the girl did nothing wrong and is all Salieris guys fault, so he let she alive. In this version, Sam explain to you why you shouldn't kill the girl 'cause Hangar 13 know you are stupid enough to don't get it.
    That's not all the rewriting they did, there is also the Frank mission, in the original, Tommy kill people until he get to Frank and understand that kill that guy isn't a good idea 'cause he was your friend and all that sentimental stuff. In this version they just look at each other, Tommy was about to shoot but Hangar 13 remember that Tommy let him alive, so Frank get in the plane (Also the plane looks uglier than the plane in the original). Then the Canadian mission, 3 guys in a truck against half the cops and a **** TANK, spoilers Tommy wins (I think they saw some random mission in GTA and copy past it). The Morello's brother mission, the one that every one remembers from the original, the long shooting at the port, the mind blowing thing with the train and how Tommy understand that every one that live by the sword, die by the sword. TOO MUCH THINKING LET'S MAKE TOMMY DRIVE A BIKE (Also, the bike riding is awful, feels like you are moving a wheelchair, and they don't have any kind of ragdoll, so when you fall off, they just rotate tommy 270° and make him get up. With that said, let's continue) WHILE MORELLO'S MAN SHOOT AT HIM AND THEN YOUR FRIENDS CRASH A CAR BUT YOU CONTINUE AND WHEN MORELLO'S BROTHER GET IN THE PORT TOMMY **** SLIDE OUT THE BIKE WHILE SHOOT. HE WAS A **** CAB DRIVER, WHAT A **** IS WRONG WITH HANGAR 13. You solve a easy shooting and the game tells you move a lever, so a train crashes a random door and you get that there is where morello's brother is. Tommy follows him to a place full of explosive barrels, Tommy laughs and throw a zippo to him so everything should explode and kill both. But Hangar 13 pays to the fire to don't blow the hole thing up until Tommy get to a save area, THE END. The kill Morello mission is even worst, things happen, you shoot a plane down, and that happen, the plane get's down. In this version Hangar 13 pays gravity to make the plane cross to a random spot in the other side of the town so Tommy can kill the Morello in the middle of the street ???????. To realize how much they don't get the original just let me tell you this, at the end they show you how Vito and Joe kill Tommy, also they change Joe face for third time, then they show you how the family cry over Tommy's chest and all that sentimental **** AND END UP WITH A **** RAP SONG, A GAME BASED IN THE OLD DAYS 30', RAP, 30' RAP.
    The sad thing about this is that the already use the bullet of remake, so we lost the opportunity to see the Tommy Angelo story in some solid and complete game. That was so sad, HANGAR 13 plays sad rap song.

    Also they sold that big pile of **** full price xd.

    Did the developer claim to have expanded the game? That's where everything is shortened and cut off in the plot! And why even in a free ride, the train stations are closed and it does not work for the player!? And where is the monetary unit of the FreeRide system?

    I see no reason why to buy this, because if you like the story or unique game mechanic of driving cars, you will play original Mafia from 2002 (which is surely better in this two characteristics). If you like graphics engine and fight mechanics, you will play Mafia II.
    Personally, I don't really want DLCs for this. But there are things that I want. Like ironing out the remaining huge bugs, implementing the still missing features (tram, train), adding more stuff to do in Free Ride, etc.

    So sad they didn't bring this mechanic to the definitive edition... I really liked that and it made the immersion much deeper. Not only they butchered the characters' traits, but also don't let me ride public transport. In the original game I once even escaped a crime scene on a tram. Anyway, Thanks.

    A game about shootouts where shooting with weapons is not worked out what happens in the arcade.

    * Animations are ridiculously fast, to the point of looking comical. Tom enters in vehicles in 0,8 seconds, pressing RMB magically teleports a weapon in your arm - faster than your eye blink.
    * Empty gas stations with no workers in there.
    * You can't sit in a car and turn off the engine. Can't exit the car with the engine running. Can't use turn lights.
    * Crimes are reported even out in the countryside by invisible witnesses.
    * Sometimes police ignore dead bodies and only fine you for shooting people.
    * This super-stupid bump at the end of every cutscene, even if the cutscene is already overwhelmed with action.
    * Some dumb cutscenes, like one in the 15th chapter, where short-range submachine-gun shots don't wound a car driver/Morello nor do they immobilize the vehicle.
    * Horrid LODs on distant objects like buildings and vehicles.
    * Terrible AI.
    * Pop-in galore, to the point of cars and trains popping in right in front of you.
    * Textures are generally low resolution even on maxed settings. Heavy dithering. Extremely outdated graphics. No MSAA, FXAA, TAA settings in the graphics menu.
    * Sounds are generally weaker in quality than Mafia's. Lack of environmental audio. Guns sound like water guns.
    * Poor missions in Freeride Extreme that go further to unfold the crucial weaknesses of the core gameplay - the gunplay, the driving physics and the car damage model.
    * Magical concrete bushes in the countryside as an excuse to limit the ingame world.
    * No ability to kill gangsters in free ride. No gangsters driving around. No day/night cycle and money in the freeride. No ability to set the traffic and police density for the freeride.
    * Poor 1930s drift simulator. Cars of the 1930s feel like cars of the future. Mafia is ain't no Need For Speed.
    * Poor damage model on cars, smash into a wall at full speed does nothing. Cars don't bend into any shape like they did 18 years ago.
    * Devs-liars claimed this will feature an expanded story, but this game is shorter than Mafia II.
    * On classic difficulty, reload of pump-action rifles, rifles and revolvers make you lose unused ammo in the clip against any sense.
    * Soundtrack sounds like Woody Woodpecker OST. Really, beyond parody.
    * Terrible gunplay and cover system. Instead of a recoil, bullets are flying angled to the gun barrel like in CS:GO. You can't hit anyone.
    * The total absence of any bullet holes makes it even more impossible to analyze the bullet dispersion. Also, shells and clips aren't on the ground like they were 18 years ago.
    * Enemies don't stun when they suffer damage. They keep moving to cover when wounded in a leg.
    * Bullet wounds don't break off hostile melee attacks, not even for armless foes.
    * Intrusive toddler level waypoint markers telling you what to do and where to go at all times.
    * Outright horrible physics. When in the air, cars barely roll around the axises.

The music sucks, just a badly rendered version of 30's-type instrumentals, and the voice acting is a ham-handed farce of gangster stereotypes at best.

    If they would have simply stuck with Mafia 2-style gameplay and added the time period and very good graphics improvements they actually did get right here, they would have hit it out of the park . . .but this sadly misses at every turn, sad really, it could have been so much better . . .

    A very short game cut out 30% of the content from the original version. in Free mode cut 90% of all that was a joy to play the original. This "corona virus covid" game is made stupidly and very stupidly, easy and simple to let it into release for disappointment.

    Really waited for an update for the New Year 2021, but realized one thing:
    The developer just picked up and copied the not-quite-good way the original 2002 game. Made it not accurately and clumsily, the missions are shortened and cut in a rough way, even less than it was in the original version, there is no interaction of the tram with the train for the game. What the hell is this "Walk"

    It's just not a good copy of the original And if you want a real game in this series - it's a real original from 2002, where you will see and feel the real game.

    Crap happens, but it happened with the so-called DEFINITIVE EDITION of the MAFIA game! Not self-respecting Hangar-13 at least would understand what makes the history of the MAFIA game and just made a CASTRATED puppy. What a laziness in this work, there are no patches, you can only expect from experienced modders, maybe they, like the 2nd mafia, will also revive the game.

    I did not expect that bought the game after a year, it nebylo not a single update. The story is greatly reduced, in the free ride can not use the famous streetcar and train, as it was in the 1st original game. This game is not finished until the finale and apparently it was abandoned without refinement.

    Nearly all of the iconic missions that made this game so enjoyable have been changed to the worse: The airport mission Omerta with Frank is unrecognisable, the port mission - Lucky Bastard - is crippled to a point... its **** the prison mission - election campaign - is an easy peasy run through. Tram with train not to use. Summa summarum all the iconic missions of the original Mafia are there but they are empty, streamlined, shells.

    Probably the worst part is that the Lucas Bertone missions fully disappeared, and Yellow Pete - the secret gunshop - too. Tommy being able to arm himself up to the teeth before driving to the museum shoot out was probably the peak of the entire game (!) cause the game didnt tell you that!

    In short, this game is a total disappointment . Buy the original one, get some grapfic mods and enjoy the true and only Mafia game there ever was.

    1. Не позволяйте себя одурить: игра НЕ выглядит так, как ее презентуют на скриншотах и в трейлерах.

    Ну а что не так-то? Создалось впечатление, что почти всё не так. Вместо того, чтобы проанализировать и оставить все, за что так любили первую Мафию, ее главные изюминки просто выковыряли, вставили дешевые аркадные приемчики, а атмосферу просто убили. Нужно умудриться запороть возможность сделать шикарный римейк на шикарный оригинал.

    Что вырезали:

    Сюжет:

    - Вы не сможете заехать к Луке после очередной миссии и украть новую тачку - такого больше нет
    - Ральф больше не будет нас учить взламывать замки, вы просто это умеете
    - В большинстве случаев вам не нужно будет ехать обратно домой после миссии
    - Гонку сделали более заскриптованной
    - Не доступны поезда и трамвай
    - Отклонение от линейного сюжета прерывает всю игру

    Прогулка:

    - Нельзя поехать на поезде или трамвае
    - Банда Морелло в больше не патрулирует улицы
    - Деньги теперь всегда есть и всегда бесконечные
    - "Большая прогулка" и "Прогулка" теперь один режим, причем вы больше не найдете те безумные миссии с анлоками необычных машин - большинство просто убрали. Вместо большой прогулки - суррогат в виде парочки миссий, в качестве награды можете открыть, например костюм клоуна или золотой Томми-ган

    Общее:

    - Нормальный прицел - извольте "целиться" через огромный кружок. Кто там знает толк в извращениях?
    - Нельзя точно целиться из машины (есть автоприцел-липучка, который будет за вас фиксироваться на целой машине).
    - Почти все светофоры, но парочку оставили
    - Возможность прокатиться на трамвае / надземке. Что примечательно, боты не лишены такой возможности, но вот к поезду вы даже близко не подойдете, т.к. ворота на все станциях перевязаны цепью с замком. Забавно видеть, как боты там запертые стоят наверху.
    - Остановить / Завести двигатель
    - Здравый смысл. Пешеходы могут почти мгновенно позвать копов из ниоткуда - в Америке 30х годов без сотовых.

    - Синдром

    Не могу сдержаться и не съязвить еще раз о "современных стандартах" .. знаете что нас ждет после окончания сюжета? Журнальчики, вкладыши и лисички, Карл! Они разбросаны по всей карте, иди и собери их всех, покемон ты наш. Зачем? Для ачивки. lol

    Не рекомендую, если хотите сохранить теплые воспоминания о любимой игре.
    Просто обидно, что люди, не игравшие в оригинал, подумают, что это и есть "та самая" Mafia.

    * No gun shops, no restaurants to eat for health, nothing to do or interact with in the world.
    * No interactive gas stations with clerk.
    * Can't sit in car and turn off engine. Can't exit car with engine running. Can't turn on lights.
    * Dumb police behavior, crimes get "magically" reported even out in the country side.
    * Driving missions are hand-held and heavily rely on prescripted cutscene action events.
    * No buildings are enterable outside of missions.
    * NPCs don't respond with dialogue, and if they do its with one word.
    * Tommy has been rewritten to be a cocky d-bag, complete opposite manners to Mafia 1.
    * Same horrid LOD issues on distant objects like buildings and vehicles like Mafia 3.
    * Terrible AI.
    * Pop-in galore, to the point of cars and trains popping in right in front of you.
    * Textures are generally low resolution even on maxed settings. Heavy dithering.
    * Sounds are generally weaker in quality than Mafia 1. Lack of environmental audio.
    * Atrociously poor lighting, the game will fade between odd shades of white, yellow and blue.
    * Lucas Bertone missions missing from story mode.
    * Fake pretense that tries to squeeze out the "coolness" of the characters to sound modern.
    * In terms of city environment, you see the same buildings over and over again. Copy-paste.
    * Countryside is dead without any npcs. Arcady magic burning barrels that serve no purpose.
    * Cars missing from the original.
    * No ability to play as taxi driver or kill gangsters in free ride. No gangsters driving around.
    * Simulation driving mode is akin to a regular arcade driving mode, realistic physics are gone.
    * No realistic suicide doors on cars like Mafia 1.
    * No car tuning options like Mafia 2.
    * Poor damage model on cars, smash into wall at full speed does nothing.
    * The slow, methodical gameplay of Mafia 1 that increased difficulty and immersion is gone.
    * Can't open bonnet to repair car like in Mafia 2.
    * Lockpicking minigame dumbed down.
    * Majority of music from the original is missing including all Mills Brothers and Belleville.
    * Terrible gun play and cover system. Really, beyond parody.
    * No world interactivity like turning on lights, faucets, flushing toilets etc.
    * Intrusive toddler level waypoint markers telling you what to do and where to go at all times.
    * Lack of bullet detail like entry holes on car tires.
    * Bridges don't rise dynamically in freeride like in Mafia 1, they are "dead".
    * No dynamic day night cycle in freeride, it wasn't in Mafia 1, but standard for games today.

    This is 2002 vr 2020 game

    All these positive likes plus a twisted artificial image of the indicator! Not one self respecting gamer after analyzing everything WILL not put a finger on the top of this remake

    That is a lot of negative sentiment one might say. But the amount of positive reviews not even touching on the disconnect between what Hangar 13 marketed this to be and what it actually delivers honestly makes me worried for where this industry is going and I can't help to wonder about the thought process and motives behind of all these flawless masterpiece 10/10 reviews.

    For a newcomer, sure, this game might be fun for a couple of hours, albeit a pretty expensive fun. If you played the original, it is little more than a hollow shell. Moreover it is the literal definition of false advertising by Hangar 13 and 2K.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is not Mafia. This is some weird reboot/re-imagining that has completely butchered what made the original so great. Characters are unrecognizable. Tommy went from a conflicted, understated man caught up in something he wasn't quite sure of, to some stereotypical thug. Paulie now sounds like a sesame street character. Their relationship was the heart of the story, and now it's gone. You don't care about anyone. Sam's motivations no longer make any sense due to some truly bizarre rewrites. On the subject of rewrites, all the original subtlety of the game is gone. It's all been transformed into cheesy one-liners, and chest thumping machismo.

    The game looks good, not great. The lighting is awesome, but other than that it's not that impressive. The shooting is AWFUL, enemies are braindead, and on and on. Entire missions have been cut from the game, it took me under 9 hours to beat, and others have been changed dramatically, and not for better.

    For example, SPOILERS, there's a mission where you have to shoot down an airplane as it's taking off. In the original, you did this, and it crashed. In this game however, the plane doesn't crash right away, you have to pursue it as it flies flaming through the air across the city until it crashes. You then spout off a one-liner before executing the near dead target with your pistol. This is indicative of the change in tone. Tommy is now a coldblooded action hero. It's dumb, it's Hollywood blockbuster dumb.

    I was really looking forward to this, but Hanger 13 seems to have assumed they could just make the game look pretty, and call it Mafia hoping the majority of people who buy it never played the original. If you have played the original you're going to be disappointed. I actually redownloaded the 2002 game, and am having infinitely more fun playing that than this hollow shell of a game.

    If you played the original game when it came out, you won't like the new game. Why did they make new faces? The game is difficult where it does not need to be difficult at the classic level. There is no family atmosphere in this sin. You don't empathize with heroes and don't want to help. The graphics are good, but Mafia is not about graphics. Hangar 13 did **** as usual.

    As it stands, Mafia Definitive Edition I do not think it is worth the $40 price tag or even a $30 price tag. Unfortunately,If you can snag this game for $20 or under, I think it is worth it but as is, there are certainly better games at a $40 price point or even lower you could be sinking your time into.

    Not a remake but a reimagination of Mafia The City of Lost Heaven.

    Positives:
    1) Great graphics.
    2) Detailed environments.
    3) Cars look and sound great.
    4) They tried to fill plot holes and fix some oddities in the story.

    Negatives:
    1) Lack of atmosphere.
    2) Poor choice of music. Especially hated the music in racing mission because it sounds like it's from a generic family, children friendly comedy, adventure movie and not a fun and exciting racing music. Driving music is very boring background noise and nothing more. Many missions have weird unfitting music. Overall music is not terrible but not good either.
    3) Guns sound pathetic, weak. Original game had great gun sounds compared to this.
    4) Gunplay is very generic and overall boring. It feels like you are shooting a BB gun.
    5) Missions are not true to the original. Many small and big elements get changed, replaced or just removed. Even things that do not need any tweaking at all. Some of the environments are mirrored for no reason and take away from the original experience. Many action scenes are overdone and make it look and feel like any other generic shooter game etc.

    But here is the worst offense.
    6) Characters... Why?
    Paulie is so annoying that he actually becomes obnoxious. Especially his new voice and face which I hate.
    Sam is nothing like he was before.
    Don Salieri is meh at best.
    Vincenzo is now some weird mentally ill gun nut.
    Frank is too weird and creepy. He was a genuinely nice guy before.
    Tom... is nothing like he was before. Now he is nothing more than a thug.

    Oh! Ralph is decent and Sarah is actually nice. I like her.

    Overall this game is worth 5/10, maybe 6/10 at most. But I'm forced to give this 0/10 simply because there are people who give it 9/10 and 10/10 for no good reason. Essentially this is like Steams voting system. You either give it thumbs up or thumbs down and nothing inbetween.

    Original has many flaws, but the storytelling and immersion made me forgive the shortcoming, with the remake, it is the other way around. Unimportant things got improved, important ones got watered down.

    Maybe if I have not known original I would enjoy the game more, but I think I would still forget about story pretty fast, In comparsion it is not as memorable and there is definately much less attachment to it.

    From the technical side, I got stable FPS, game jsut was breaking down when I would minimalize it during the cutscene, hard restart was needed. But it was playable enough, not the worth thing around.

    I enjoyed it, but that's half the problem, it feels like a hugely missed opportunity. I really wanted to immerse myself in the world, but with clunky driving physics, sloppy aiming, dire combat options, it just never let me become part of the world.

    Even if they'd crowbarred in some of the open world bits of Mafia 3 into it I could've enjoyed it a whole lot more. If you loved the original then it's fine for for the sake of nostalgia, but don't be fooled by the 10/10 reviews, it's still an old game at its bones and it shows.

    Hopefully we see a more fully developed Mafia game down the line but this one leaves you with the feeling that you got on the wrong side of a corporate cash grab.

    - Broken driving physics, every aspect of the driving is profoundly worse than the original, not simulation based at all - instead we get **** semi-sim from Mafia 2. I wrote a bunch of hate here before I edited, but let me just paraphrase instead.

    The original Mafia (2002) was THE 'perfect' PC game and in many ways still is; it combined fine simulation and physics elements in both the gunplay and driving - being derived / tweaked from the fantastic 'hidden and dangerous' engine. Driving - you could even use an FFB wheel accurately, perform true drifts, clutch oversteer, liftoff oversteer, countersteer, handbreaking. The AI, being again from a milsim was robust. I could go on at length here.... but lets just end with this thought;

    Unfortunately due to the machinations of this industry - most of the older devs (globally) capable of recreating such a fine game, have long moved on to fintech/banking. The skills, dedication and talent required to 'remake' this game just don't exist anymore. Retaining the former Illusion Softworks lead is just not enough; Hanger 13 needs real talent in numbers and it just doesn't exist, not with my generation (millennial). I'm sorry...

    I did a job as a taxi driver but this pointless trip did not bring me income money in the game and there is no monetary system in the game that it does not make sense to play.
    Well, how can you make such a game in 2020, I expected that there will be more than in the original, but it turned out to be a disappointment in General.

    In this game on the new engine, I expected to see a more developed game from the original of the first mafia, but I saw a shortened version and not a living world.Characters of models with non-live animation outside of cutscenes. Free ride is also dead in this meaningless big world. There is no pitt store , and all facilities, trains, and trams are closed.
    As you make this next **** don't

    For 2020-21, this game is humiliatingly funny and not perfect and a mockery of the original version of 2002, which is better in many ways. As well as mocking the community of players !

    I finished the game completely in a short time along with the scripts in the walk.
    Strictly linear story, where press the keys as you are told.
    I laugh at the perplexity of how it can be called a game of "final edition" as this game is a "dummy" less than in the original story and no more on the game in 2021 emptiness ...

    This story ran through, did not see in it a detailed story, as it happened in the original 2000s.
    Walking in Freeride, I was upset to the limit where there is no game in this world, but only a small third-party 8 missions and damn why, Burton car mechanic in one abbreviated scene of all alone.
    Game **** Browser games are better than this crap!
    Series of games Mafia, fell to the bottom ...

    This studio creates games of the Mafia series, with each new release, everything is **** These games should have a story base + an in-game car project + an open game world in its entirety. You can't even copy the original from 2002, that's the H13 WTF

    This is a full-fledged, honest to God remake. Some changes to the story will upset hardcore fans, but I think this approach is absolutely justified. Even though this remake is not as amazing as new versions of Resident Evil 2 and Final Fantasy 7, it’s still a worthy update.

    The main difference between the remake and the original game is that the latter was outstanding for its time, while the Definitive Edition is “merely” good. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s not worth your time. What’s crucial here is the fact that Hangar 13 approached the original’s narrative with proper respect and refrained from changing it too much. Mafia: Definitive Edition might not be remarkable as an open-world action game, but it still has the story worthy of the most revered gangster movies. [12/2020, p.28]

    Mafia: Definitive Edition is a remake of mixed flavours. Some elements are just as they used to be, and it's great. Some elements are just as they used to be, and it's awful. Mixture of aged mechanics and amazing graphics, new voices, great old story and some added, yet bad storylines, make it not such a perfect remake. But it sure is worth your time, whether you are a fan of the original or not. The moral of the story survived in all its glory, just be sure to focus your attention to the details where Mafia used to and still shines the most.
