    Masterpiece.
    I love original game. And now I love remake. "Classic" difficult are awesome. Story, gameplay, world - it's awesome.
    Mafia Definitive Edition - my GOTY2020 and game of generation(Witcher 3 & God Of War too).

    The original Mafia meets Goodfellas.

    I would like to start by saying that the original Mafia is in my top 3 games of all time, I have completed it countless times, and I consider it a masterpiece.

    The original Mafia meets Goodfellas.

    I would like to start by saying that the original Mafia is in my top 3 games of all time, I have completed it countless times, and I consider it a masterpiece.

    With that out of the way, I think this remake is a masterpiece on its own. Some of the criticism I have read was that the feel of the story is different and that the authors missed the point of the original. While the tone is indeed very different, I think this was done deliberately and not because the authors of the remake did not understand the original.

    This is a much darker and grim take on the original story and, in my opinion, a more realistic take. Gone is the feeling of an era of "gentlemen" gangsters. During many missions, you will feel bad about your actions and Tommy is portrayed as a much more conflicted character other than a good guy who just got together with bad company. All of the characters are much more developed and it really helps with fleshing out the gangster underworld. Not all changes to the story and characters are for the better in my opinion, but overall it still works very well.

    I played on the classic difficulty and it was an ideal challenge, I highly recommend you choose this difficulty if you have played the original Mafia (the infamous race still took me a few tries). The combat is kind of a generic cover shooter, but it works really well and I have enjoyed it.

    The few things I missed were Luca Bertone's side quests which have been reduced to just finding a hidden car in the world. I also missed the original music.

    Overall, I highly recommend this game both for new players and for people who have played the original! I have not had this much fun in a game in a long time. If you have played the original, just be ready to accept the much darker narrative.

    I'm positively chuffed. Sure it's basically an interactive movie but it's so completely, wonderfully devoid of all the modern BS it melts my heart.

    Great remake!
    Very pleasant experience of the game!
    Passed twice in a row, on the average and then on the classic level of difficulty, the last time this happened to me was when MAFIA II came out. I usually go through games again in at least a couple of years

Takva je Mafia: Defintive Edition. Uzela mi je nešto više od 12 sati, vratila u prošlost, ispunila srce radošću i iznjedrila suzu na oku krajem igre. Uvela nove djelove priče koja je sada osebujnija i posebnija. Kada igra u tebi probudi leptiriće u trbuhu, znaš da igraš jedno posebno remek djelo. Ne igra nije savršena, nije ni blizu nekih vrhunskih naslova koji baš i nemaju mane, no ova igra kao i njen original imaju jednu posebnu dušu. To je igra kakvih nema baš u današnje vrijeme i tako linearni naslovi su stvarno rijetkost te su u današnje vrijeme financijski gledano ne isplativi. No ovo je igra za našu dušu i nas fanove tih old school igara, gdje je nekakav COOP, multiplayer i mikrotransakcije nepoznat pojam. Hvala Hangar 13 što je ova igra dostojna originala. Expand

    Mafia: Definitive Edition is a well-made game that oozes with atmosphere and character.

    I'm not a newcomer to the Mafia series, however, I have never played the original Mafia from 2002. Therefore, I could enjoy the story of Tommy Angelo without any bias or prejudice.

    The story is superb; I could barely put down my controller because it was just so captivating. I can't tell you anything about how it compares to the original story, but I do know that this re-written game is a masterpiece.
    The beautifully crafted city of Lost Heaven is an authentic backdrop for the events that take place in the game. As you drive from Salieri's Bar to the mission marker, you can listen to period-accurate music on the radio, news broadcasts, and even a baseball game. Often times, when I had already arrived at my destination, I would park my car and listen for the news anchor to finish his segment on the Great Depression, the rise of Adolf Hitler in Germany, the weather, or the goings-on in Lost Heaven, Empire Bay, and even New Bordeaux.
    It's these little details that make the world in this game feel real and grounded.

    After I had finished the story, I was sad that it was over so quickly; after only about 10 hours, the campaign was done. I thought the game was over for me, but then I played the Freeride mode and was amazed by the number of extra missions and challenges the game had to offer.

    Now, many people are unhappy that the game has borrowed many aspects from Mafia 3, but I don't feel that way. Hangar 13 didn't copy and paste assets, no, they took what they had, improved it something fierce, and implemented it in the Definitive Edition of Mafia. The gunplay? Improved. The lighting? Improved. Performance? Improved. Gameplay? Improved. AI? Improved.

    Not a single thing about this game displeases me and I can only recommend to anyone to play it. Be it for the amazing story, the beautiful city to explore, the fantastic soundtrack or simply the gorgeous-looking cars - play it.

    A little personal note I would like to add - there are an awful lot of 0-point reviews on this game that are mostly people saying "Oh, I'm not happy with the way the camera works, 0 points." or "All in all I like it, but they changed the way Tommy looks, 0/10". And I just have to ask - who writes a review and judges the entire game by one fault?

    MAFIA: Definitive Edition is a remake of Mafia 2002. And this remake is showed us how need to develop remakes. Hangar 13 was a young studio, they made Mafia 3, not best game in the franchise.

I want to support Hangar 13, I see that the team of the company wants to create something more than a remake, Mafia 4 for example, but due to restrictions on the part of the publisher, they are not allowed to do this. The remake could give the company a huge boost. Good game, legendary story, incredible and beautiful atmosphere of 1930's. A real interactive movie about Italian-American Mafia. Expand

    Outstanding. The charm of the original story with some well thought out tweaks and additions. Character recast was spot on. Combat was still a tad clunky, but enjoyable nevertheless.

    It's nice to see a game led by a good quality story again rather than trying to shoehorn something into an endless array of side missions.

    Well worth playing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hodnotiť Remake tejto starej klasiky je dosť ťažké
    Aj keď Hangar 13 mali ešte tažšiu úlohu.... Vytvoriť ho
    Hneď na začiatku hry je pár väčší aj menších zmien
    Miesto Tommyho príde do baru detektív Norman a hneď na začiatku sa už podľa novín čo prinesie vie že zabiť Morella pôjde len jednou cestou...
    Postavy sú prepracované... Niektoré majú pozmenený charakter - Hlavne Tommy,Sam,Paulie,Sára a Salieri...
    Ale napríklad Ralph už nieje len obyčajný koktavý mechanik ktorý vám len raz začas dohodí auto
    Čo sa misií týka
    V prvej misií je síce nepriateľov viac... Ale je omnoho ľahšie im uniknúť než to bolo v originále...
    Všetky misie sú celkovo skvelé no ku koncu idú strašne rýchlo za sebou že sa ani nenazdáte a zrazu ste v galerií...
    Závod je na extrémnu obtiažnosť ♥♥♥♥ ťažký ale hra viacej odpúšťa takže napríklad sa nemusíte báť že po viacerých nárazoch vám odpadne koleso...
    Vzťah Tommyho a Sáry je rozšírený o nejaké detaily ale nejak veľký dopad to na hru nemá...
    Dosť veľkou zmenou si prešiel koniec hry...

    **A TERAZ POZOR SPOILER**

    Tommy už na konci nepôsobí vôbec prekvapene keď za ním prídu Vito a Joe ale vypadá že dobre vedel že ten deň raz príde tak na otázku ''Pan Angelo?'' odpovie ''Ano'' s kľudom pripravený čeliť svojmu osudu ktorému tak dlho utekal... Nakoniec zomiera v kruhu svojej rodiny s vedomím že jeho rodina je konečne v bezpečí

    **KONIEC SPOILERU**

    Hru som prešiel dokopy 3 krát
    Raz na Normál na PS4
    A dvakrát na Classic (1x PC a 1x PS4)
    (Obe verzie PC aj PS4 mám dokončené aj so všetkými achievementami)

    Záver

    Trochu som sa bál ako sa po Mafií 3 Hangar 13 popasuje s týmto Remakom a mal som trochu obavy aby to neskončilo fiaskom
    Ale na moje prekvapenie Remake sa Hangaru 13 dosť podaril... Zmeny či už menšie alebo väčšie Remaku dosť prospeli ... Hlavne to strieľanie ktoré už je v originále na dnešnú dobu zastaralé (ale zároveň to nové už nerobí z Mafie tak ťažkú hru ako si ju pamätáme)
    Aj keď mám už Remake dokončený 3 krát určite si ho dám niekedy znovu

    P.S. Český dabing je ♥♥♥♥ úžasný...

    Za mňa 10/10

    as for the people complaining about voices, faces and a little modification of the story and map from the original, well, i dont see any issues with it, this feels way more natural than the original MAFIA.

    if you are not a "purist" you will definitely enjoy this game!

    Сначала казалась графика шикарной, на то время ( когда игровая индустрия только развивалась), это была просто бомбическая графика, но постепенно графика казалась всё хуже и хуже.

    И вот, 25 сентября 2020-го года выходит Mafia: Definitive Edition, которая стала - игрой года, по-моему, мнению! Новая графика, новая физика, дополненный сюжет ( который прям очень входит в суть игры), всё просто супер, как я считаю!
    Физика - на отличном уровне, боевка - новая, тоже очень хорошо смотрится, стрельба - хорошая, графика - отличная, атмосфера - присутствует ( хочу даже сказать то, что в оригинале я атмосферы так и не почувствовал, скорее всего из-за пустого мира...), кат-сцены очень качественно сделаны.
    В общем мне очень понравился ремейк 1-й части, я так долго его ждал и не прогадал с успехом! Всем рекомендую, это лучшее за последние года!
    Моя оценка 10 заслуженных баллов из 10!

    Mafia is a gorgeous game with a storyline and atmosphere.
    Back in 2002, Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven came out and won my heart!
    At first it seemed gorgeous, at that time (when the gaming industry was just developing), it was just wonderful graphics, but gradually it seemed worse and worse.
    And now, on September 25, 2020, Mafia: Definitive Edition is released, which has become the game of the year, in my opinion, in my opinion! New graphics, new physics, augmented storyline (which is very much the essence of the game), everything is just superb, in my opinion!
    The physics is at an excellent level, the combat is new, it also looks very good, the shooting is good, the graphics are excellent, the atmosphere is present (I even want to say that I never felt the atmosphere in the original, most likely because of the empty world. ..), cut-scenes are very well done.
    In general, I really liked the remake of the 1st part, I waited for it for so long and did not lose it with success! I recommend it to everyone, this is the best in recent years!
    Thanks to Hangar 13 studio, which now deserves my trust.
    My rating is 10 well-deserved points out of 10!

    In terms of its content, this is a rather modest game - apart from the main plot, there is practically nothing to do here, except to ride around the city in the "Walk" mode and look for collectibles. And every single element of the remake, whether it's graphics, shootouts or chases, lags slightly or seriously behind its competitors in the genre.

    But this "Mafia" justifies its means. All

    But this "Mafia" justifies its means. All of its pieces, put together, serve only one damn important task - again tell us the incredible story of Tommy Angelo in a new, convenient wrapper. For this, the game wants to give the highest rating and elevate to the top line of the best gangster games of all time.

Difficulty is great made, the shooting is not exactly to lincoln clay and i am telling u that cause i played and finished this game 3 times, 1 on normal and 2 on classic and i played mafia 3 too. Graphics are excellent, the new engine for the lightning are very well made. The driving also is very good made. What i dont like : when first time i entered int the game i had a problem with fullscreen mode cause it was locked at 60 fps, but if u go where is ur game, properties , accessibility, u have there fullscreen optimization and u click on it and then it ll be fixed. Another thing, in this game are some glitches but there are not so bad to make ur gameplay feel bad, for example when the npcs are entering in the car, a part of them are entering "in the car", and in a trip to the country when u r carrying sam ur hand enters in the coat, but this is not a big problem. The game is great optimized not like mafia 3 where u had 30 fps lock in the first 2-3 days or something. Classic mode is great made, the npcs are giving u a quite damage, the race is very hard and the police responds to more crimes for example : if u r driving on the sidewalk and u could run in some civillians police will want to give u fine and that is a great detail. The characters are much better done because u can see their feelings and their expressions and i see that hangar 13 really developed the characters and in my opinion the best are : Paulie, Sarah, Vinny and Tommy. A lot of people say that Tommy is broken and the original one is better, but i dont think so and I played a lot mafia original. And the story i think is better in the remake with that changes but this is just my opinion. I recomand u to buy this game and for a not full game price is an offer you cant refuse ! Expand

    This game doesn't feel like the original Mafia 1 but it's still a pretty good game. Characters and their motivation were changed which lead the OG vibe change drastically, for some people it might be a big minus, for others - not.

    Talking about:
    Graphics
    Car physics
    Animations
    Soundtrack
    City overhaul

    Were done really good, this is what you should pay credits for to Hangar13 for sure.

    But there are of course minuses
    1.Soundtrack/Radio - even though I said soundtrack was good but some of the Simunek tracks could stay, Jesse Harlin did really good but some of the Simunek soundtrack were truly a masterpiece, why couldn't they mix old and new tracks? Its a big question. Then there is radio part, damn that is really sad, only one radio song left from the OG "Mooche", new one are good as well, but not as good as in the OG, I don't know why they couldn't get them, didn't want to overpay or what, but I'm sure they could make an agreement and get at least 50% of the OG tracks and it would make the game aaa lot better.
    2.Lighting bugs, whenever you look at the wall or other static objects in different angle the lighting blinks and its suck, same issues were in Mafia 3, still can't fix that? Big minus.
    3.Missions too much scripted. For example mission in the port "You lucky bastard", you just have to stick to where the game says you to go, location is bounded all around, you can't explore the port like you could in the OG Mafia, its just narrow corridor, I want to decide on my own how I want to deal with certain mission but sadly the remake doesn't give you this choice. A big minus for me.

    Anyway with all this said its a pretty good game, but at the same time a pretty weak remake.I give solid 8 to this game.

Bana sorarsanız oldukça güzel bir oyun. Bir çok kişi Mafia 3'e çok benzediğinden dolayı beğenmemiş ama bana sorarsanız arada gelişme var. Maifa DE'yi bitirdikten sonra bir de Mafia 3 ü bir kere daha bitirdim ve arada baya fark olduğunu söyleyebilirim. Mesela, araba sürüş mekanikleri ve grafikler çok geliştirilmiş. Aynı şekilde çatışmalar daha gergin ve heyecanlı geçiyor. Senaryo olarak ta bana sorarsanız orijinal mafia ya sadık kalınarak çok güzel bir hale getirilmiş. Mesela Pauile, Sam ve Tommy arasındaki dostluk önceki oyuna göre çok daha anlamlı. Karakterler artık daha derin. Aynı şekilde Sarah'la olan ilişki de çok anlamlı hale getirilmiş. Fakat çok kızdığım bir kısım var. Bu Remake'de Sarah'la sevişme sahnesi yok!!!!!!!! Nasıl olmaz abi ya! Biz bu oyunu ne için oynuyoruz?! Gerçekten ayıp... Onun dışında da eksikleri var. Mesela geliştirilmesini beklediğimiz açık dünya gerçekten çok vasat ve boş bir halde. Sadece birkaç kısa yan görev dışında açık dünyada yapılabilecek hiç bir şey yok. Daha da geliştirilmesini beklerdim. Ve aynı şekilde orijinal oyunda nitelikli olup bu oyunda olmayan kısımlar var. Örnek olarak orijinal oyunda 'OMERTA' isimli görevdeki Frank ile Tommy'nin konuştuğu sahne gerçekten çok güzel ve çok etkileyiciydi. Fakat bu oyunda gerçekten çok boş bir konuşma haline gelmiş.Onun dışında bana sorarsanız oyun çok güzel. Hikaye harika, çatışmalar çok zevkli, vuruş hissi çok güzel, araç sürüş mekanikleri harika, grafikler şahane. Yani bana sorarsanız her şey güzel.

    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.
