    Silently, like plenty of others i guess, i've been wanting to see Mafia 1 remade or atleast remastered, since i have played the other two games in the series, but not the one which started it all, and out of nowhere, to suprise of many gamers, in 2020 Take Two announced a remake and released it there soon after.

    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.

    Extreme free ride is part of normal free ride so no changes to the world, no jumps for cars, no missions, taxi, nothing.
    Otherwise, the game is beautiful and the voicover is done on professional level, but Hangar13 just couldn't step out of its shadow.

    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.

    Final verdict - strong five to a light six, unfortunately mostly because of the good memories.

    Mafia Remake ha sido una experiencia sorprendente tanto para lo malo como para lo bueno. Contando que en esta entrega esta adaptación es considerada un remake del juego original.

Contando que en esta entrega esta adaptación es considerada un remake del juego original. Pienso que la crítica a este videojuego tiene que ser más completa y detallada que otras simples adaptaciones de otras entregas de la saga. En cuanto a la historia, ambientación y personajes destaca notablemente como todo sus predecesores. 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. En resumen un juego de la saga Mafia no decepciona pero tampoco destaca sobre los demás. Con una buena historia y una adecuada jugabilidad es perfectamente disfrutable. Aunque hay que dejar claro que el podio de las 3 entregas de la saga en mi opinión lo tiene Mafia II. Expand

    LONG:
    + Looks dandy. Best illumination game work 2020. Cars are fantastically modelled. But, I didn't like cartoonish look of the people. IMHO.
    + 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.
    * Red exploding barrels. Just a few of them, and they do come in handy when playing on classic difficulty.

    Mafia: 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 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. Final Verdict: 55 %

    A very linear game, the open world is very empty. You just play the plot on rails and there is nothing else to do.

    Graphics look good and it play okay, but the missions aren't really that creative or rich in variety.

Но не понравились изменения характеров персонажей и их мотивации, мне кажется, можно было добавить больше бекграунда Паули и Сэму сохранив их суть, какой она была в оригинале. Больше всего не понравилось, что Томми не сам решил не убивать шлюху и последние слова Сэма и Тома. Какая блядь семья, че он несет вообще? 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

    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...

    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..

    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.

    7/10. Gameplay is mediocre. Very average compared to other modern games, but the story is still great. in fact some things were improved over the original with important side characters given more story time.

    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.

    Ремейк некогда культовой и серьезной игры на 11 часов при классической сложности.

    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
    Ремейк некогда культовой и серьезной игры на 11 часов при классической сложности.

    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.
    - атмосферный город, по которому приятно кататься во время выполнения миссий.
    - прикольная система копов, которые тригерятся на превышение скорости и другие легкие нарушения (плюс реализм).
    - насыщенный сюжет полный экшеновых событий (но оригинал лучше).

    The game ran as smooth as a butter. The story was really good. I was eager to know the end and it did not disappoint. If a non-ray tracing game like this can look this beautiful then other games should not have any excuse. It should not matter if a game has ray tracing or not to look good.
    The fact is that the game is set in the 1930s. So it's hard to complain about lousy driving controls

    If you wanted to improve the original, you had to remove the rap music from the end credits. This game conveys the spirit of the era, through music as well. Sometimes these little things ruin the whole atmosphere.

    The game is basically a decent B movie filled with great voice acting performances and well designed period set-pieces. That is about where the praise stops. This experience plays more like a bunch of cut-scenes tied together with some necessary gameplay sections rather than a typical open world game. These gameplay sections are mostly made up of acceptable driving and clunky cover shooting mechanics. The gameplay is not modernized and feels worse than the original in almost every way. The game crashes often and is filled with bugs and glitches. Overall, this reeks of a soulless, rushed, cash grab. Wait for a sale or avoid completely and play the original.

Car mechanics, those hyper realistic -manual/automatic gear- combined with responsive detailed physics are gone. 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. For those who just want a "meh game"that will be forgotten in 5 months this is your game. Lucky ones that didn't have this appreciation to the original one.

    Consolized dumb-down remake with un-offable objective markers, gps map and qte combat. Wow.
    Tommy's character is butchered.
    Grapics is good. Gunsounds are awful. Car physics is ok-ish. Weapon wheel is abysmal abomination.
    Some bugs and bad optimization.
    Minus 1 additional point for wrong music tracks on credits and especially running man mission.

Gameplay-wise you have third person shooter with 6 guns out of which you have 3 distinct types. Fights happen in samey buildings such as cafes, warehouses, docks without much level design variety. In my opinion, pulling the trigger isn't fun and missions are forgettable. The only aspect of the gameplay i liked is driving. Car handles realistically and driving is enjoyable (on simulation settings). Plot is good on it's own, execution not so much. Many tonal inconsistencies and the ending is abrupt, motivation of the characters stretched so hard that shaolin monk would be jealous. I don't think i will remember even playing this game say 10 months later. Case in point that 1. improving graphics isn't always enough for a good remake 2. duckling syndrome hits hard sometimes. I do understand that for some people this was the first serious game with plot and character development, but these story and gameplay just don't stand the test of time. These were good 20 years back, when games only started dipping their toes into telling anything meaningful, not anymore though. Expand

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.

The checkpoint system is a disaster. It'll reset the entire level of everything you've done, thus breaking immersion and making everything you do feel pointless. It's also incredibly sad how they removed riding on trains and trolley cars. Even the original 2002 game had that. I just think it goes to show that the game needed more time in the oven. 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.) Overall, I can't see myself playing this for a year much less 18 years like I have the original. I think the biggest error was not consulting the original director. This game left me feeling uneasy, and made me feel like I was playing a plagiarized product. 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.

    * Animations are ridiculously fast, to the point of looking comical. Mafia 1 was the opposite.
    * No gun shops, no restaurants to eat for health, nothing to do or interact with in the world.
    * Looks, feels and runs like Mafia 3.
    * 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.
    * 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.
    * 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.
    * 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
    other than graphics a big ZERO

    ... might the developer will update the game with a patch, it is possible that the rating can be fixed as always)

Der Spielspaß riesengroß. Ich hatte mich so sehr auf die neue Version gefreut. Doch was ist passiert? Vieles was damals Spaß gemacht hat, ist nicht mehr umgesetzt. 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.
    Viele Kleinigkeiten verhindern zusätzlich, das ich den Daumen hoch nehmen würde.

    A game for one passage, you don't want to play more in a linear plot with cutscenes. Shooting weapons without aiming is not a simulation of a gunfight game, but **** In free mode, it makes no sense to waste time, everything is locked from players, these vehicles will not carry you by tram with train, one bar Salieri which is also a mute object.

    Отдельный плюс для персонажа Поли, он делает игру веселей.
    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.

The driving was likewise serviceable, but nothing special or original, unless your idea of originality extends to driving old cars. The presentation was fairly strong, mostly in regards to the gorgeous soundtrack. The story was surprisingly decent, I appreciated the way the narrative was stretched out over a number of years which kept the narrative feeling a little more grounded what with all the shootouts and car chases. It also allowed for some pretty impressive character development in what was a fairly lean game. That being said it's not necessarily so strong that it deserves super high praise and the ending felt abrupt in some ways. This is the kind of game that I will forget I played in a couple of months due to it not being particularly great or terrible, and due to it doing very little that hasn't been done to death in this industry. My favorite thing about this game is the setting and theme. I recommend this game only if you are really vibing with the theme and still find joy in these factory made style of gameplay systems.

    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.

    Un gioco breve combinato con filmati e scarso controllo delle armi e sparatorie in stile arcade. Mi aspettavo un grande gioco esteso, ma ho ottenuto un piccolo pezzo e la libertà di un mondo vuoto freeride...

    Let me start with the conclusion, and afterwards put the details. The game is good, I do not regret purchasing it. I would have, had it been 60 instead of 40. However, I am still a bit disappointed. As I find, it can't quite reach the original game because of ommission of content and details. Maybe there will be DLC's so ideally buy it later and/or in sale.

    On the details, the upsides

However, I am still a bit disappointed. As I find, it can't quite reach the original game because of ommission of content and details. Maybe there will be DLC's so ideally buy it later and/or in sale.

    On the details, the upsides and the downsides in no particular order and with no guarantee of completeness:

    * Trams and Trains cannot be used anymore. This removes a unique detail of the game and with it some free ride fun. Actually, this is mayor.

    * Cars handle great and the ability to drive in manual was kept. This is good to see :)

    * Police alert and wanted system needs work. Police spawns only in predefined places, but when wanted, they spawn more or less next to you within SECONDS.

    * There is still a free ride mode. No money system, but you have all cars and SOME weapons available. Grenades, Molotovs and the sniper rile are NOT! This removes major sources of fun and mayhem..

    * East Marshal Bridge no longer gets pulled up in Free Ride mode.

    * The graphics are state of the art and quite beautiful! The lighting gets pretty bad in some cases however: Light bleeding in shadowy areas, water-like reflections where there shouldn't be any, and dark light transitions are way over the top. But it's fine most of the time.

    * The story and characters were given a bit more depth. For the most part, this was well done!

    * The missions got a bit easier and quite linear, but in contrast to the original, certain missions can be done partial or full stealth. There is also a cover system for whoever needs it. They took however the ability to shoot while crouched, which is weird. The Lucas Bertone missions got removed and cars are unlocked by progression instead of Ralph.

    * The free ride extreme missions are included in free ride, but reduced in numbers. Added were a number of collectibles throughout the missions and free ride.

Only a few missions from the bar took worthless. The developer has also changed and shortened part of the original storyline. Lucas Burton is now in an abridged version of freeride. I'm shocked by what is happening. This can be called the definitive edition of the "Definitive Edition" This is a brazen deception! Take my money again, but please don't mislead the players.

    There is a free ride mode in which you can not perform any additional missions, there are no gangsters, trains, I can not sit in the tram like everyone else, that in the game a lot, you can not play them - just shoot pedestrians ...
    It takes about 10 hours to complete the game, but I never felt like I was being drawn on by a story or worried that the mission would be too difficult. Mafia2 was between missions a versatile game to perform a lot of entertainment. And what do we have here... I'm seriously disappointed.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    - Firstly, not paying or at least consulting Daniel Vavra - crime against the Czech Republic in general.
    - 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...

    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.

    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.
