    Speaking of cut content... didn't they say it was expanded with some kind of new missions? One of them regarding a very important baseball game?
    The only baseball game I heard about was on the mission omerta on the radio and in a newspaper...
    By the way I'm missing the Lucas Bertone missions the classic way, with some dialog and a favour to do to him before telling us where the car is...    Speaking of cut content... didn't they say it was expanded with some kind of new missions? One of them regarding a very important baseball game?

    There's no Pitts store to buy guns.
    And not having the tram and train as a rideable options...
    Whats the point of selling a game as expanded in gameplay when it doesnt have half the content the original had?
    There are lots of car variants missing, no multiple way of completing the missions.
    Overall I liked the game but reading the oficial page and watching all interviews with Blackman I feel like a bit disapointed.
    The mafia that you remember and more... well I certainly remember a lot more from the original one.

    One of the reasons i bought this game was the awesome train ride they showed in the trailer and all the NPC they showed walking about. Now i hear i can't use the train?? Another false advertising. Just like Snowrunner.

    The game is linked to the plot without pause in free movement.
    The scenario is not identical to the original.
    In free game, it would be cool if they add some cool details a new update!
    for example:
    - using trams & trains for players
    - earn money and spend it
    - enter Restaurants, being able to eat food for health
    - customize vehicles in your garage
    - Police recognising license plates and clothing.
    Really wish the game was open world the only good thing about the game is the graphics and new actors and character models and of course the missions gave me so much memories but Tbh we all know this game is a huge letdown as you literally cannot do anything except from missions.
    Perhaps I will change the rating for the best if the game will be finalized.    … Expand

Polly is made a bastard who makes fun of Ralphie. It makes you sick just when you see it. Nothing to say. The main character Tommy is the same dumb **** both in voice acting and in behavior. The original hero was a simple guy, communicated in a simple way, behaved nobly. We all fell in love with him for that. In the new version - another plastic cool guy. And the most important thing.

    Ein cooles Remake eines Klassikers. Die Story ist spannend und anspruchsvoll zugleich, die Figuren sehr komplex, das Gameplay wirkt jedoch insgesamt etwas fahrig. Das Potenzial der offenen Spielwelt wird auch nicht genutzt. Die Open World existiert nur, sie hat keinerlei Funktion (7/10).

    The scenario MAF-DE, as in most cases of the entire game, is animated cutscenes and low quality weapons with shooting. The plot is linear throughout the entire game cycle and does not look very pleasant in this form. Simplified missions, especially in the port to reduce the scenario and action events in general.

    There are no Luca Bertone scenes in the script, and they were moved to freeride in one cutscene, which is also shortened compared to this mission vr original.
    Freeride, with nothing there. Unable to visit Tommy's house, all facilities are closed, trains / trams are not available as they were in the original, but pay attention that all NPCs interact well with trains/trams and this transport fills most of the game city. No Cash savings/spending. I'm not even talking about the fact that you did NOT add more features to the game world in the game of 2020.

    Max on 6/10 with the hope of a patch of additions and improvements to the game.    … Expand

    Mafia: Definitive Edition is a full remake of the original cult Mafia action-adventure game.

This newMafia: Definitive Edition is a full remake of the original cult Mafia action-adventure game. In my opinion this game is missing several aspects of the original game, which I consider to be vital part of the overall Mafia experience. But more about that later. I want to start with the graphics. It is excellent, breathtaking even, with great colours, lighting and many details. This new graphics suits the atmosphere of the original game very well. One more thing that I think this game did well was the historical radio announcement, baseball game etc. If only everything else was as good as that. Sadly it is not. The story was probably the biggest selling point of the original game and I am very disappointed that the remake was not able to retain the high standard. It does not start bad, the first few missions are pretty good, but then it starts to slip and the story diverges from the original more and more. What disappointed me the most is the ending, instead of the profound truth in the original we got pathetic generic Hollywood style nonsense about family. That was not the point of the Mafia at all, you understood nothing Hangar 13. Daniel Vavra (the creator of the original Mafia) himself says that he would rewrite most of the Mafia dialogues if he was doing the remake today, but he would keep the essential bits that make up the moral of the story. I cannot stress how important that statement is. From the gameplay perspective, there were big changes also. This game became a cover shooter and not a very good one at that. How is it possible that you cannot shoot blindly from the cover just as your enemies do. Also the enemies are all hard scripted, they are put in the game just for you to shoot them, without any thought given to why they are actually supposed to be there. The number of enemies is also more than doubled when compared to the original. Why are you only capable of carrying one small arm and only three magazines for it? Why is the path to your mission target always displayed on a map as if you were five years old and incapable of choosing the path for yourself? Next thing is driving and it is yet another disappointment. It went from a perfect simulation in the original game to a generic arcade in the remake. Also you cannot really enjoy driving, because most of the driving parts of the missions were just simply cut from the remake, which is a shame, because just cruising through the empty city at night after completing a hard mission was a big part of the overall Mafia experience. These things matter to me greatly. I do not even want to mention the stupid car chases, exploding barrels, ammo crates and so many other things that this remake butchered. The music is also changed significantly, the original radio tracks are all removed and replaced by other songs from the same era and often even from the same musician. Why? The mission music is a generic and I definitely prefer the atmospheric music of the original Mafia. If the original game was ever criticized for anything, it was usually a lack of secondary quests or additional content. And this remake instead of remedying that, cuts even the few missions from Lucas Bertone that were in the original game. There are no microtransactions, but predictably they were able to squeeze at least a bit of SJW propaganda. Talking about Sarah, she is another fine example of how the remake does not care about consequences and realism. In the original game the subject of you doing all the killing and being a gangster in context of your relationship with Sarah was discussed several times. In the remake she is seemingly oblivious to what you do for living, despite the fact that she works in the Salieri’s Bar herself. Anyway the main thing is that she can vote now. I think I know who she is voting for.

    Maybe all this came out a bit too harsh. Mafia: Definitive Edition is by no means a bad game, but it just is not Mafia. That did not surprised me since I did not expect Hangar 13 to make a good job, but what surprised me at least a little bit is how the vast majority of players are able to look past all this and still enjoy the game.

What it does get right thought is the feel of a 1930’s american city, you will immediately feel the nostalgia growing as you weave in and out of traffic exploring this expansive city. You once again play as tommy angelo in the final years of the prohibition and if you enjoyed the story of the original game, you will without a doubt enjoy the story here but this time with realistic graphics. sound effects are amazing with even smaller details like hearing the engine of your car cool down as turn it off, realistic sounding gun fire and you will get an immediate nostalgia boost from hearing the music come from the radio. the story is phenomenal as always and the comedic timing of some of the characters hits perfectly when it is needed whilst at the same time drawing you into the game’s world.

    onto the negatives. whilst the graphics of this game are impressive at times, especially in cutscenes, you will experience quite a bit of pop in when traveling at high speeds through the city and in grassy terrain. Some character models, whilst they do look amazing in cutscenes with you being able to see every hair follicle, most background NPC characters tend to look potatoey and derpy in gameplay sections looking like an assassins creed 2 remake copyright lawsuit waiting to happen. on the discussion of NPCs, enemy AI can come across as brain dead at times. constantly getting stuck behind walls in their vehicles, running out into the open as you’re opening fire on them or even running right up next to you like they thought they were invincible.

    Even with all of it’s faults, it is still an enjoyable game with a great story and a fun cast of characters. It just needed a few more weeks in the oven to iron out all of these problems before it released    … Expand

Es ist nicht mehr möglich die Tram oder den Zug zu benutzen. Der "Freie Fahrt" Modus bietet ebenso nicht mehr den gleichen Spaß, weil die Gegner, die man in der alten Version "einfach so zum Kampf auffordern" konnte, gibt es nicht mehr. Auch wenn ich es noch nicht 1:1 verglichen habe, die neue Version erscheint mir deutlich kürzer. Die "Filmszenen" deutlich zu viel und zu lang. Sie verhindern oft einfach dass man endlich weiter spielen kann. Dinge die in Mafia II ein Gewinn waren, fehlen leider, obwohl das doch die Chance gewesen wäre, damit der alte Version noch etwas mehr Pfiff zu geben.

    Ok, story is still great but the game is missing the feeling what original has, it is just mission after mission nonstop.
    All sidequests are missing and driving around city between them gone, no using train or tramline either or repairing cars.

Police? even in the classic mode is nothing compared to fun the pain in the ass (in the good sense) that was in the original one, chases are reduced to S. Secondary Lucas Bertone missions gone. Lockpicking minigame gone. The playground to shootouts are this generic boxes to find cover that sets the mood away, always a marker telling you what to do. Then there is this narrative all over the place, some dialogues are good, most of them cheesy and make no sense to the character depth. Although they tried to gave more story to characters they end up making desicions because of this new adjustments that don't adhere. The carefully crafted narrative missions like Visiting Rich People or Moonlighting are completely butchered and the developers didn't got it right. This game is mediocre and it reaches this status because of the excellent blueprint the original one provides.

They tried being more faithful by adding in classic mode which is a good mode, but it was just little too late. On a good note the graphics are amazing. The game can be fun at times, especially the Hotel Corleone mission (one of the few missions that actually saw an improvement.)

    * 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.
    * No turn signals on any vehicles.
    * Tommy shares many of the exact same soldier animations of Lincoln from Mafia 3.
    * 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.
    * Cars missing from the original.
    * 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.
    * Graphics look similar to Mafia 2 with brightness turned up. "Amazing graphics" is hyperbole.
    * 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.

    * 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.

    * 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.
    * Bugs, glitches and generally poor quality control of the map. Several map seams found.
    * No spoilers, but the game ends with a rap song. I'll let that one speak for itself.
    * Can't disable basic in-game features like HUD, health bar or mini map. Is this actually 2020?
    * No money system, can't buy anything.
    * "Tommy is not a trained soldier" well that was a lie.

    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.

Вито и Джо, кстати, в последнем ролике очень рофляно нарисовали, я покекал. Некоторые миссии стали менее запоминающимися из-за их урезания (Омерта, ограбление банка), в некоторых моментах переборщили с голивудщиной. Физика машин стала заметно лучше со времен третьей части, но все равно есть такое ощущение будто они подражают той физике, что была в первой и второй части, а не делают собственный движок. Гонку я, кстати, не смог пройти на симуляторном режиме, хотя в оригинале могу с первого раза, даже на непатченной версии. В плане сложности игра иногда дает просраться, но касаемо перестрелок это достигается искусственно, потому что враги умирают после примерно 7-ми попаданий в тело (или одного в голову), но когда в них попадает пуля им на это абсолютно все равно, они как шли и стреляли, так и продолжат это делать. Касаемо графики, дело не особо улучшилось со времен третьей части, она все такая же убогая и страшная. Уж не знаю, как можно было так ухайдакать движок второй мафии, но как есть так есть. Короче, сохранили и подчеркнули некоторые фишки, мелочи и особенности из оригинала и упустили другие.… Expand

    Now "Mafia: Definitive Edition" is not that interesting anymore.
    This is a good remake of a once great game.

    Story? Original had some flaws, but the overall storytelling and immersion made me forgive the shortcomings, with the remake, it is the other way around. Unimportant things got improved, important ones got watered down or completely cut.

    Aside of the butchered story, I think one thing that goes quite unnoticed is the amount of details/interactivity you had in the original vs the remake. No riding on transport, no choosing your own route to missions, no skill required whatsoever etc..

    City seems to have a grey/blue filter to it, and somehow seems more devoid of life than Mafia 1 was...even though it has way more detail. Traffic lights are missing. Also, looks big but is somehow smaller, with less space to drive, and its bushes are made of titanium.

    Cars have no textures, just the usual "GTAV" thing that most open world games do these days : vertex paint. Basically means game paints the car whichever color you want with no texture cost. Thats why they are all clean and without much detail.

    There is no permanence to the traffic like in Mafia 1, things vanish like in GTA, early cars don't show up in freeride mode once the game is finished. They are simply replaced by 1938 vehicles

    Story wise great. Detail great.. Just a shame you dont let us look at the detail as free roam mode had no interiors to explore.. No trains that work. All that time and effort those game designers went to.. And for what for them to be closed in free roam

    This is not a real open world game since you can not do nothing other than taking a mission.
    this isnt 2002 anymore- you should have made some changes in game play and make it a real open world game and not only dramatic graphic remastering.

    Из минусов:
    - в игре нет адекватного обучения, которое раскрывало бы КАК надо играть в игру, например что бы пройти гонку необходимо использовать кнопку тарана для успешных поворотов, но игра этому не обучает и в итоге тыкаешься час в заносах и полном непонимании "что не так?", зато как ради интереса нажимаешь заветную кнопку, то "легендарная" по сложности гонка проходится с пары попыток. В той же опере и боевая система, в миссии где надо уделать в рукопашку челов приставучих к Саре, если не знать как ПРАВИЛЬНО драться, то бой превращается в цирк длинною в 30 минут с онли закликиванием.
    - персонаж преступно долго умирает, драматично падая на землю, зачем почему? Дико тормозит темп игры, ничего кроме раздражения и духоты не вызывает.
    - в игру надобавляли всяких доп. механик: взлом замков, угоны, таскания тел и прочее, которые бы пригодились для открытого мира, мир есть, но открыт ли он? Игра кидает игрока от миссии к миссии и изучать город нет возможности, да и нужно ли? Нет он пуст, а следовательно и механики практически полностью не юзабельны.
    - унылое радио, которое не задает атмосферы и вызывает только желание выключить его.
    - из серьезного криминального произведения с топовыми и колоритными персонажами, игра превратилась в легкий боевичек потеряв свой шарм. Еще и были в корне изменены некоторые ключевые персонажи.

    Из плюсов:
    - приятная стрельба, которая при классическом уровне сложности чувствуется с легким налетом челенджа.

    - прикольная система копов, которые тригерятся на превышение скорости и другие легкие нарушения (плюс реализм).

Overall the game looks much better than the original mafia, BUT it is not as good as the game from 2002. In original game, you had more things to do. You had a tutorial which helped you how to play, in story you had very nice Lucas Bertone missions and after you finished the game, you could play extreme ride. These parts are unfortunately missing in the new remake. The campaign is shortened a little bit and you can finish the game much sooner what is pity. You can even play the game with Czech dubbing which is also amazing!

    There are some details which I miss compared to the old game. For example, you do not have your cars parked behind the Salieri's bar and instead you have stupid and very simple list of cars like in Mafia II for example. I would recommend you to buy this game, it is very nice, but I can give it 7 or 8 points out of 10.

    Biggest strength of Mafia Definitive Edition is it's story. Writing is very solid and you feel engrossed in the narrative, making you feel like you're really a part of an actual 1930's italian mob family. The performances of the actors are excellent aswell, which are translated into the well crafted cutscenes.
    The story for the very most part focuses on Tommy's life as a mobster, and very little as a family man, and i wished it did more on the latter. Apart from some scenes with his wife, you never see his children, so it somewhat takes away from seeing what Tommy actually has on stake with the way he lives.
    The story's structure can be somewhat confusing though, as the way chapters work, some plotholes can become quite noticeable, especially towards the end of the game, where a major turn of events happen off screen in how Salieri starts doing his business, that will change Tommy's outlook on the family and mobster life as a whole.
    During the story, there are a few instances of pretty big difficulty spikes, such as the mission where an armored cop vehicle chases you and which's turret you must disable, i had to lower the difficulty to lowest possible one to pass this section, it was just insane.

    Lost Heaven of course is a character of the game in it's own right, and Hangar 13 really did an admirable job recreating the time period of a major midwestern 1930's american city. There's good amount of detail put around every corner to make the game world feel believable and lived in. Whenever i was not in a hurry, i simply walked and took in the sights.
    Unfortunetly for all it's glamour, it doesnt make up for an exciting open world game to play around in. The map is very restrictive in where you can go, bushes around the roads will stop a tank in it's tracks, gates and fences around most places cant be scaled, trains cant be boarded and their stations are locked, despite NPC's roaming around on their platforms, and Tommy cant swim, so you cant reach something you see across a water body. Then again, that kind of lacking open world gameplay has been an issue in Mafia 2 and 3 aswell. The open world is there to mainly house the story.

    Gameplay is where things become more mixed. At it's core the gameplay in this remake is an evolution of Mafia 3. One of the most important things in Mafia series have been driving mechanics, and Mafia remake more/less nails the driving feel. I havent experienced such solid driving model in a non-racing game since...Mafia 2 actually. The cars in the game feel pretty grounded and like they actually are bound by laws of the physics, unlike how in most of other open world games that involve driving, where cars feel almost weightless, with floaty handling, looking at you Watch Dogs.
    The cover based combat as i've observed has upset some fans of the classic game, and i totally understand where they're coming from. You cant even manually crouch in the game, which could've enabled using cover on your own volition. The combat mechanics in the remake are far from leading in it's class aswell, they feel kinda stiff and there is a lack of feedback from guns. Not helping are the lackluster gun sound effects. There are also no non-lethal takedowns, i felt rather bad about myself when i needed to kill a poor maid and a wife at house where i just needed to steal something, so they wouldnt raise alarm. A dumb gameplay oversight on Hanager 13's part, aswell as narrative one, since killing innocent women conflicts with Tommy's character in another mission.
    Another annoyance is how you need to toggle the walking command, why was there no 'Hold Down' option ? It was so irritating. Same goes for sprinting, basic stuff like intuitive main movement mechanics should be an easy thing to do in this day and age.

    I got Mafia DE assuming it supports Windows 7, afterall it's a DX11 game, why shouldnt it, right ? Well upon firing up the game i discovered it doesnt officially support W7. Luckily it does support W7 atleast unffocially, meaning it runs on the dated, but still superior OS, as i found out thanks to some cool people on Steam forums. You just need to download some files and place them in the game's folder and happy gaming. Bad news is the game only runs in windowed mode on W7, robbing some of that immersion factor. Why, Hangar 13, cant you officially support a freakin DX11 game on Windows 7 ?

    With all that out of the way, i want to say that i still had a pretty decent time with Mafia Definitive Edition, the story, writing, performances of the cast and the recreation of the time period pulled the game through.    … Expand

Car handles realistically and driving is enjoyable (on simulation settings). Plot is good on it's own, execution not so much.

    Mafia: Definitive Edition

    Promises, promises.. Mafia DE was aimed at to improve the original from 2002. Which brought innovations in games about the story, driving model, storytelling, details, complex narrative and realism. Did he do anything about it? Not really at all. The game it plays like as a bad Mafia 3. Beautiful environment, but horrible animations in shootouts. Driving lost its charm and is terribly unrealistic. Great story but the end of the game and some scenes was terribly turned into ridiculous Hollywood nonsense. Potential in unused content, discarded. Some missions or part of the game are completely missing or slightly altered, it's the same with music that's missing. The choice add in to game difficulty is bad and not appropriate, the classic difficulty is not classic at all and it looks like no one has tested it, you will experience with pain, it has nothing to do with the regular difficulty of the original game. You can't turn off that awful HUD. After this, it can be seen the developers never played the original.

    Story really good, but in gameplay is just mission after mission. All side quests from original version are missing and, no using train or tramline either or repairing cars. Original was better in gameplay and in history cause of the side quests.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I never played the original early 2000 game but i've played the mafia 2 and 3 and i must say i play this game mainly to enjoy the story and it shows. Set at 1930's during probihition era, follows a taxi driver then involved at mafia activity. The story is really good because i love gangster movies. But other than stories this game is rather bland, the "free roam" mode doesn't have nothing to do beside roaming the city and finding collectibles. The bugs and glitches in this game is quite bad too. If you like mafia series especially the story, give this game a go and you will enjoy a really good story.… Expand

    People criticize the dead open world as if the original was completely insane simulation. It's true that the original had more minor details like more realistic car damage, the airport mission had a lot of NPCs reacting to the gun fire in a realistic way and hugging the floor. But let's face it, those aren't the things that affect the story or people pay attention to. The open world in the original was just as dead as in this one.

    At the same time this game improves on the enemy spam and bs insta-kills by enemies you cannot even see or aim at. The ability to skip driving is also a very welcome change.

    I am giving it a 6/10 however, because the controls are designed to be played on a console, not PC. The key layout is very strange, and you cannot double bind keys.    … Expand

    Минусы: Очень маленький и плохой набор музыки, по сравнению со второй частью, и даже с первой. Две радиостанции в машине. Лично у меня было немало багов. Местами плохо раскрыт персонаж Томми, он будто просто плывёт по течению и выставляется неплохим персонажем, однако, делающим плохие вещи. Сюжет игры в принципе не даёт персонажам плохой славы и мягок с ними. Игроки наверняка забывают, что играем мы за отпетого бандита, перебившего кучу невинных людей. Но всё равно смакуют уроки, которым учат нас эти бандиты на протяжении игры, и переживают за героев. Я же зевал на катсценах и не воспринимал происходящее всерьёз.

    This game does not feel as good as the original one.

    Don't think I'm some kind of an old*** who only loves old things and never appreciates new stuff (I loved COD remastered, RE2 was amazing and was even better than some new games). But this, it neither feels like a new game nor it has the feeling of the old good mafia. Graphics looks decent but the light has ruined everything for me.

    Graphics looks decent but the light has ruined everything for me. I can't explain what exactly happened but it lost some kind of the NY ambient even the second mafia or the original game had (I guess even first division has it at some point). I also didn't like shooting not in terms of aiming or recoil but what AI is doing during the fight: they just do several shots then wait for you to shoot them (it has nothing to do with difficulty because I played on the classic one). Also, driving has changed and, again, it has lost something that was giving me such satisfaction and good feedback back in the days. I don't think that I should talk about the story because everyone knows how amazingly done it is, the only thing I noticed is that characters lack something. Maybe it's because they cut the content that also at some point was supposed to introduce characters to us and fill the story a little bit more.

    Overall this game is GOOD, especially if you haven't played Mafia games before. Otherwise, it will disappoint you because it's not as entertaining as Mafia II, but neither has that feeling of the story as the original game does.

    That's my subjective opinion about the game and I DO KNOW that it's a remake not remastered and it is not supposed to be the same game but as I said before it doesn't feel like a new game for a person, who played the original one.

    P.S. I know that the devs probably didn't have that much money to create a NEW game but they should understand that making remakes is a risky business.

    P.P.S. Night city looks really amazing and nights is probably the best thing this game has. If this game had a "night only" option, I wouldn't even care about the rest.

Pero siendo considerado un remake peca de un escaso contenido centrándose en la única y lineal progresión mediante misiones de la historia. Apenas deja explorar o disfrutar del entorno y del mundo libre construido a su alrededor. También vemos que arraiga los problemas de su tercera entrega que estaba llena de bugs y errores como la iluminación a la hora de jugarlo. Igual no tiene la misma cantidad de defectos técnicos pero si que arrastra el mismo problema. Por lo demás es un juego de una duración acorde con una jugabilidad no muy destacada pero justa para su disfrute.

    + Sarah is OK now. Forget that ludicrous romantic scene. Love her accent.
    + Pauilie's acting is cool. Actor did a great job. Tommy is a regular criminal now, not some antihero with conscious. Makes much more sense. But some people hate that.
    + It's still Mafia I plot. Despite Hangar 13 actions to massacre our boy.

    - Driving. Bad. Cars are almost totally similar in driving. No inertia. Perfect turning. City lives according to its own rules and mostly ignores your movement. People crossing streets, while you're driving on them, just to jump 3 meters back right before your car.
    - Shooting. Bad. And I recommend easy game mode. On classic enemies will not react to your hits, so you will have a feeling that you're shooting at T-800s or playing MMOFPS. Way funnier to run into CQB on easy, just as deadly. Covers are bad too. Not comfortable. AI sees your through the wall and start shooting/throwing in advance. Paulie and Sam are not only immortal now, but immaterial, bullets go right through them into your skull.
    - Railroading. Original game has possibilities for different play styles in some missions. You could stealth, shoot, trick your way through. In remake you can't shoot at some moments and can't abstand from aggressive play in others. Some things are cut out from the original too.
    - Bugs. For example, if you get perfectly aligned with enemy in game X, Y or even Z-axis you will die instantly no matter the obstacles (walls, cars). However, this didn't really make me angry. But after such deaths, or just deaths, or failing an objective (like, defending a truck) you will restart at nearest checkpoint and 100% will not have such guns and ammo as at the moment of death (health remains exactly the same) and 10% that you will progress through the story. I deliberately said nearest checkpoint not the last one. So, it's clear how poorly this thing is coded. And this did make me angry.

    Things that I feared, but they turned to be ok.
    * Paulie is a Shrek. Never felt so during the game. Actor did a great job, Paulie is way more likeable than in original.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Only thing good on this game is graphics. Disgusting game, which is insult to the original game. Sad people defending it. Either they didn't play the original game, or they are little sjw using logical fallacies - to attack people for constructive criticism. Most people probably won't play the original and that game will fade away. While it is much better game, even today! And it doesn't look even that bad!

    I also i heavily dislike community of this game and even nowadays gaming subculture. If you say anything negative, they will tell you go play something else. Even if it is true and you have circle jerk yourselves and be fake. Otherwise people will attack you!

    I would say go play original, if you didn't. It is a masterpiece!!!

    Story: they changed original characters and dialogues, even scenes! Paulie looks like Shrek and both look like they don't have any experience. In the original characters were older. They mixed some lines in dialogue and things came out at wrong moment, it was weird. I like original story much more, than in this game!

    They removed lucas bertone missions, but you have to find 5 cars in freeride, which is boring. Previously he gave you little fun sub-quests.

    There are some interesting details about events in the original story, which is interesting, previously player could imagine it, or guess. I like it in new game, since it is remake.

    Dialogues: They are not bad, but there are some things, which are dumb like: Tom just gets started in family and Salieri, he himself says he wants revenge on guys, which destroyed his taxi, why it was most powerful mafia in the city. In the original, salieri ordered Paulie and Tom to destroy their cars as initiation test, which is more believable. There are things like this in the game.

    There are some funny quotes, but otherwise... Sometimes characters tell same thing twice, happened in previous game too, not big deal.

    Soundtrack: original soundtrack is absolutely amazing and more dramatic, i dislike they replaced it.

    Cutscenes: in original they are 1000 times more dramatic and more EPIC!

    Driving: terrible driving model, in original they tried to simulate realism. While in new game, driving is unrealistic and car is sliding. Cars suffer from understeering and than enter uncontrollable slide, which is impossible to correct many times. It is like driving on ice constantly... I completed race mission on the first trial in original, but in this game it took me 3 hours, because my car lose control, not that it would be difficult, it is not! Also they made it so opponents will crash right before you and you crash too - idiotic...

    Auto aim when driving yuck! Car moves when i hit it with baseball LOL.

    Environment: salieri's yard looks good, but whole city is too clean on that era. There were neon signs at that time, but i liked more original, now you have that on every corner. Also all cars are shinning and look like new.

    Combat: melee is annoying, if you attack first sometimes it doesn't hit, yet he counters, which has no counter. Otherwise you have to press alt quickly to dodge.

    Cops: they get called instantly, which looks weird, in old mafia police office would have to find a telephone to report incident!

    City: they made city more accessible, but game doesn't take you through city as much as before, at least you don't have to drive back each time, which was excessive in old mafia. Everywhere are roadblocks LOL and in first mission car chase is kinda lame, but so it was in the original. Except you could take out wheels, but you wouldn't hit anybody basically...

    UI: there are a lot of unnecessary ui elements, like objective, which kills immersion. Previously you could always press f1 for objective and they tell you what to do so... Also healthbar is huge and speed-o-meter doesn't look old from that era and i dislike minimap next to it. It even shows you path to the objective, so you don't have to remember path yourself...

    You choose weapons by weapon wheel and it sucks as usual, also 12 works tho i think, but for other things...

    Graphics: graphic with red taint, i don't care. It looks great, how ever they didn't recreate era best, city is too clean, sky is white bright, instead of blue... It is in details... Also it is little bit blurry on max details, but that's normal, probably bad aliasing and will be better in near future i think. Yet old game looks more realistic in a way i think. Cars are also too shiny, every car in the city...

    Freeride: design of missions is moronic, you don't know first how to finish that optimally, even if you were pro, some missions are impossible to do on the first time, now matter how good you play. So you have to restart like 10 times, if you do only one mistake, because car suffer from heavy understeer, you lose to rng tram, or car...    … Expand

    The story seems no way as captivating as the original one and I have really hard time understanding the shooting mechanics whilst driving. It seems theres no free-aim option available until you crank the ram button. Before that it's just useless auto-aim and it really pisses me off. The story is ok I guess but like I said it's nothing like it used to be..

    Other than that it feel like the gameplay is on traintracks. It's really restricted what you can do. Some actions just seems to be disabled during parts of the mission.. for cinematic reasons? Just let me play ok?! Sneaking mechanics are there only when game thinks you need them, you can't active then in anyway so one must just get by with cover mechanics..

    What "Definitive Edition" means is a small part of what was built in the original version. Game movie with easy control elements in the game. 10-12 hours at the classic level of difficulty.

    I hope for a fair update of the game!

    Released a crude unfinished game in which only a silly compressed linear story and all the scenes are simplified to madness from the 2002 classics..

    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]

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.
