When I first played Mafia 2, that game was gorgeous for me and is still one of my favorite video-games of all time! Now Mafia DE is very similar in terms of Open Word, level and mission design. This ist NOT an open world game to be explored and freeroamed. The map is just a beautiful scenery which allows the police chases and the driving in general to be non-linear and enjoyable. Now the game itself is very linear. You finish a mission, the game will just continue with the next one. This is no GTA or Mafia 3, where you need to manually start each mission. I personally think this is a good design choice, because it makes the story much more intense and is a good variety compared to all those 40hour grind open world games.
    I finished the story in 13h, which I'm totally fine with. But difficulty was way to unbalanced. I played on hard, at times the game was ridiculously hard, at other times it was too easy. E.g. The car chase with that heavy truck was ridiculously unnecessary. Enemy AI in this game is not good. Enemys seldom try to flank you, so there is no pressure on you and you can just stay in cover as long as you want. On the other hand AI seems to have some sort of magic aim bot being able to shoot you in the head if you leave cover for just milliseconds even after you just changed your position of cover. It's practically impossible not to loose health, no matter how cautious you are.
    One other critique is the story. While I really enjoyed that one, it was also pretty flat. Sure there were some highlights but somehow the emotions never REALLY showed up in the characters. There also wasn't anything near a plot-twist.
    Apart from that:
    -Music is great, Radio talking is interesting.
    -graphics are nice
    -Lost Heaven is a beautiful scenery -NPCs and physics are not as dumb/bad as in Cyberpunk
    -driving is actually fun (especially when you played Cyberpunk right before this game)
    -atmosphere is great
    -Besides the bad AI (though a bit better than the horrible Cyberpunk AI), the Gameplay was actually enjoyable (especially when you played Cyberglitch right before this game)
    -I had no major glitches, bugs or crashes (should be a matter of course, but you know after playing Cyberbug...)
    -the police is actually chasing you in cars. This doesn't seem to be very special I know. But as I said, I just played Cyberpunk... Conclusion:
    This is not Cyberpunk. This is actually a great game, though it has its flaws.    … Expand

    Esse é um dos jogos com a história mais imersiva que já vi, e o principal motivo disso é que esse jogo tem uma ótima atmosfera para o que ele propõe. Eu nunca joguei nenhum outro Mafia,mas posso dizer que minha experiência com esse remake foi bem positiva. Talvez eu só mudasse um pouco nos combates, que não apresentam nenhuma nova mecânica e são repetitivos.

    Mafia allowed us to explore more than what we could only imagine, movies like the Godfather gave us a little bit of and idea of how the italian mafia really used to run the streets back in the old days,and Mafia gave us an even greater understanding of what one of the darkest periods of our country really looked like, the shootouts, the sitdowns , the drama ,and such realistic driving mechanichs, made us feel like we were in a Martin Scorsese movie. But not everything is great in paradise, even thought the game is great the mechanics could've been improved, there's a couple little errors in the game that became just downright infuriating

    The melee for example is one area of the game must players probably avoided , it was just broken there's just not much to say about it, you'd have to experience it to understand , aside form the meele there's a couple other things in the game that just really get frustrating,civilian drivers purposely wrecking into you in the middle of a chase or getaway,the lack of weapon and medkit selections just get old quick. Another area of the game that's hard to understand is why they wouldn't implement the free roam mode into the actual gameplay itself, let's face it not everyone is gonna roam around the game and not get anything done story wise, we are here for the story mainly, and not everyone is going to go back and just play the free roam once you have finished the game, that was a real buzzkill for players who wanted to get an immersive experience like Mafia 2, the fact that we can't even customize Tommy's outfit in the main game is just way too linear for me, like come on one of the best features Mafia has is the classy mobster looks you can give your character.

    Even though the game is everything a remake should be i feel like 2k could've done better, they could've made this remake truly great had the game been a little bit more thought out and polished before it's realease. Don't get me wrong the game is amazing , the graphics are outstanding and the story line is great, but with the standards set by Mafia 2 this one fell a little short,2k could've really made a masterpiece had team not get lazy towards the end and rushed to get the game out, and even though the bugs and glitches that persisted throught the game were not game breaking , the game itself failed to deliver a truly Mafia experience and gave more us more of a story driven game that's more like a movie and with doing so took many of the features that we loved about the game out hence free roam and character customization when they didn't really needed to be taken out. If Hangar 13 really wanted to give us that movie like experience they should've looked at similiar recent games that played like a movie and also gave the players more freedom to interact with the world.    … Expand

    Mafia: Definitive Edition is a remake of the old Mafia game (2002) and it is quite good.

    Pros: - 1930's setting - Cutscenes are really well animated - Really good soundtrack - I loved the story - Graphics are awesome - Great missions - The map is pretty well designed - Free Ride, which is just you exploring the map. You can also change outfits and use any weapon you want while    Mafia: Definitive Edition is a remake of the old Mafia game (2002) and it is quite good.

    - Free Ride, which is just you exploring the map. You can also change outfits and use any weapon you want while Free Ride.

    Cons:
    - The racing mission is utter trash (Just as in the classic as I've heard)
    - I wish they had done much more with the big map like adding side missions or something (But I guess this wasn't a thing even in the classic)
    - Throwing animations are weird
    - Some doors open quite weird
    - I didn't like that sometimes the game's story just jumps from 1935 to 1938, I mean It would've been much more interesting if we'd get to know the characters much more which leads to my next point
    - Some of the characters were really underwhelming that I couidn't even care less about what's happened to them.

    8/10. I've enjoyed my time with the game don't get me wrong, but sometimes it's just underwhelming.    … Expand

    Ever since it's release, fans have been begging for more content in Mafia Definitive Edition. There are three things we most desperately want.

There are three things we most desperately want. Firstly, we'd love a DLC, with well-loved characters from the game. Extra gameplay and missions which tell the largely untold stories of how Sam and Paulie came to be in the family or the beginnings of the war between Morello and Salieri are desperately wanted. As fans, we want to see more from these characters that are even more incredibly interesting and complex thanks to the improved story and script. It would be even better to see the actors of the main characters in the DE return to continue their roles in a DLC, including the likes of Andrew Bongiorno (Tommy), Glenn Taranto (Don Salieri), Don DiPetta (Sam), Jeremy Luke (Paulie), Steven Oliver (Frank), Bella Popa (Sarah) etc.

    Secondly, Photo Mode is a desperate want. The game is beautiful and many of the missions allow for incredible views, unique locations and incredible effects for photos. This mode will allow players to take the photos they desperately want in a game that calls for it because of its beauty. It will also open up more space for community creation, as fans will be able to share what they produce, keeping the game interesting and exciting.

    Furthermore, the fans would love to see more content and additional gameplay for Free Ride. These could include being able to use more transportation (trains, trams) and open more spaces for exploration that were used in the game like the prison, different character's homes, the airport, the race track just to name a few. Additions of clothing stores and other interactable shops/business would be welcome too. In terms of gameplay, the fans would love to be able to battle against other gangs in this mode that can be initiated by the player or in new side missions. These could include taking over a gang hideout, stopping booze/merchandise runs, infiltrating businesses etc Characters like Vincenzo and Lucas Bertone could give players missions to do.

    This game has always been loved ever since the original came out in 2002. Now that the game has been released again, fully remade with beautiful graphics, a perfected story and script, amazingly talented cast of actors and updated gameplay, we want to see more added so that we can enjoy it even more.

    If you would like to see more content and exciting gameplay for Mafia Definitive Edition, please sign and share so that Hangar 13 Games and 2K will see that we desperately want this to happen.

    It's overall nice game, but why even make it open world in 2020, if whole city is absolutely empty. There's nothing to do in that city. Wasted potential, because gta 5 style game in 1930s would be amazing.

    It's a great remake of the Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven. Well-balanced gameplay and pleasant graphics give me the exact emotions, which I felt when I played the original game. The only problem is the moral of the whole story. It's absolutely different and the moral of the original Mafia game was more suitable for this narrative, as for me.

    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.
