    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.    … Expand

    Here is a quick summer up :

    No public transport. Can't ride train or tram. Can't even enter platforms.

    Animations are ridiculously fast---to the point of looking comical. Mafia 1 was the opposite.

    No gun shops, nor any 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 animations of Lincoln from Mafia 3.

    Driving missions are hand-held and heavily rely on scripted cutscene action events.

    No buildings are enterable outside of missions.

    NPCs don't respond to you on street, and if they do its with one word.

    Many cars missing from the original.

    Tommy has been rewritten to be a cocky d-bag, complete opposite manners to Mafia 1.

    Same 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 in front of you.

    Textures are generally low resolution even on maxed settings.

    Atrociously poor lighting, the game will fade between odd shades of white, green and blue.

    Simulation driving mode is akin to a regular arcade driving mode.

    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.

    Can't open bonnet to repair car like in Mafia 2.
    Majority of music from the original is missing including all Mills Brothers and Belleville. Terrible gun play. No world interactivity like turning on lights, faucets, flushing toilets etc. Lack of bullet detail like entry holes on car tires. Bugs, glitches and generally poor quality control of the map. No spoilers, but the game ends with a rap song. I'll let that one speak for itself. Can't disable basic features like HUD, health bar or mini map. No money system, can't buy anything. "Tommy is not a trained soldier" was a lie. Avoid this blasphemy at all costs !    … Expand

    Хорошая игра на один раз. Из плюсов весьма приятные перестрелки. Жаль по старинке - без регена здоровья, но с аптечками, и мало патронов. Графика 50 на 50, иногда красиво, отдельно отмечу лица героев в катсценах, архитектуру и локацию из последней миссии, но во всём остальном мыльные лица неключевых персонажей, ограниченная графика с малой дальностью прорисовки и детализации объектов.Хорошая игра на один раз.

    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.
    В итоге неплохая игра на 8 часов с фановым геймплеем и слабым сюжетом    … Expand

    The shortest and most stripped-down story is just a spit from the original. All locations are closed, I can't go by tram or metro. A free game as a piece of a background picture without access to the locations of the game does not make sense. The chapter in the port is disfigured beyond recognition. The developer is proud of this **** seriously!?

    It's a game from a different era. Its world is not open, it's actually incredibly closed. You go from mission to mission without any form of free exploration or side quests. It has a good story and a satisfying shooting system. Considering it is a remake I'm giving it an 8 (would have given it a 6 otherwise)

    The experience on the linear story mode alone is enough to make it a worthwhile purchase though because the game is crafted with beautiful graphics, good acting, simple but fun gameplay, and interesting narrative.

    A really lovely re-make of one of my favorite PC games of all time. Extremely worried after the debacle that was Mafia 3 (most disappointing game ever?) but Hangar 13 came through.

    The graphics are spectacular. Super clean and lovely to look at everything. The story is the most captivating part of the game.

It's linear, but there's something magical about this classic 1930's mob story. I can remember how inspiring it was at 13, and it definitely brought back fond memories, and made some new ones. Driving is a lot of fun, the cars feel great. The shooting mechanics didn't bother me as much as some, but definitely nothing innovative going on. Headshots are effective. I prefer this over a game like Division where you have to shoot someone a thousand times to fall.

    On the downside, let's be real, the open world is pretty pointless. It's nice to have the option to just cruise, but there's nothing to do more than look around. Sight seeing should be had, but it won't fill you up for too long.
    Overall if you're looking for a solid mob story during the prohibition era, I would highly recommend!

    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.    … Expand

    4/5 Story is very linear and the missions are diverse. Few, unique and interesting characters. Our character is changing.

    3/5 Gameplay has a lot of driving, hiding and killing. Movement is wonky and the camera is rather loose. Cars are fun.

    2/5 Replay value is very low for Story, decent for Free Ride. Game has many collectibles but they don't matter much.

    4/5 Graphics are quite sharp, a living city and rather odd animations. Nice effects, great immersion, a decent optimization.

    Some hits from the original are missing.

    Story is rich and gets pretty interesting at times but takes risky turns unlike in the original, it surprises a classic player like me. It's got various mission objectives, fun driving in cars and a decent cover shooting system. World is big and full of collectibles. The ending conclusion didn't make any sense when comparing the character development and what they did then.    … Expand

    Apart from the antiquated mission design I really enjoyed my time. I was a big fan of the original and blown away by the graphics, especially the reflections (not raytraced).

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.
    * Red exploding barrels. Just a few of them, and they do come in handy when playing on classic difficulty.    … Expand

    Вместе с тем, не могу отметить и существенные недостатки - игровая механика чувствуется очень старой (раз уж перелопачивали все, могли и над ней поработать); город сделан неплохо, пусть он однотипный и маленький, однако - отсутствие возможности поездить по нему в свободном доступе очень расстраивает; персонажи очень поверхностно раскрыты, к ним вроде бы есть сопереживание, а вроде бы и нет; очень скудный арсенал в игре - также, как и с игровой механикой, могли бы и добавить что-нибудь новое.

    Very true to the source.

    I will preface by saying, I had not played the first one, and I had not finished the second but I have watched them shortly after finishing.

    At first, the game is certainly not enthralling. Its characters are not compelling, and the missions aren't super incredible at first. However, the game does pick up. The voice acting REALLY rubbed me the wrong way at the beginning, "The Don" did not feel like a mafia boss at first, and paulie did not feel like a soldier in the mafia, however as the game went on these characters became more believable.

    None of the characters are loveable, that's the point. Much like goodfellas, the sopranos and more, the characters are all criminals and generally not good people but at a certain point you are compelled to finish their stories. You certainly have to suspend disbelief for some of the games mechanics such as cops just giving up on searching for you after a massive job.

    Some of the missions did not feel particularly grand, and maybe could've used more modernization but I can understand why that may have not been the case so I can't fault it entirely.

    One thing that this game carried over from its Mafia 3 is the INCREDIBLE cinematics, they're fantastic. They bring so much to the game, and really this is where the characters shine. Their animations in scenes are fantastic, while out can be a bit strange at time but generally not bad.

    I only came across 2-3 game breaking bugs and were easily fixed with a quick restart of the game.
    Zero graphical bugs except for the weird one that was present in mafia 3 where the character has a strange outline on them in certain weather types.

    Overall a great experience, For 40$ its a fun pickup, for 30$ its great, for less, its a must have.

    It is not supremely long, in fact, it took me less than 3 days to beat it, after playing it off and on for a few hours at a time. I'd say maybe 10 hours, probably less if you're quick to it and turn off the "trivial driving" setting to skip the slower parts, however, I'd leave it on as there is some good dialogue and more involved there that could not be seen otherwise.

    The world feels great, the vehicles and lifestyle of everyone is very in tune with the time and the radio selection is excellent, however, its rather drab and gray. I understand that may be some of the point but it does suffer from much of what Mafia 2 suffered from. The color palette leaves a lot to be desired but its not awful. The game is linear, so I understand why the world is not supremely fleshed out, as it does not expect players to be driving around free-roaming like they do in Mafia 3 or a plethora of other open world games.

    The antagonist is interesting, but not super compelling, I'd argue the main characters pursuits are far more compelling than the rival mob. The game is told through a series of flashbacks, very akin the mafia 3 but not as masterfully. It's very well done, and sticks to the original but it does show its age when its being told like that and massive gaps in story are happening.

    Overall, its a wonderful game and potentially one of the greatest remasters of all time of a game I had never really felt compelled to play.    … Expand

    Bence en iyi mafia oyunu budur arkadaş 2yi aşırı overrated bulurum 3ü denemedim ama mafia 1 remake kesinlikle en iyisiydi .Baştan sona saran efsane bir hikayesi var.

    Хорошая история, графика( хотя вот лица это ппц, восковые фигуры), физика как стрельбы , так и машин, вполне сбалансированная сложность, вроде бы и не просто, но и не так чтобы соулс-лайк, хорошо передана атмосфера того времени. Вопросы есть к ру-дубляжу, а именно некоторые герои очень странно озвучены, что Сэм,что Полли как то ненатурально звучат, плюс в конце старый Томми звучит так же ,Хорошая история, графика( хотя вот лица это ппц, восковые фигуры), физика как стрельбы , так и машин, вполне сбалансированная сложность, вроде бы и не просто, но и не так чтобы соулс-лайк, хорошо передана атмосфера того времени. Вопросы есть к ру-дубляжу, а именно некоторые герои очень странно озвучены, что Сэм,что Полли как то ненатурально звучат, плюс в конце старый Томми звучит так же , как и молодой)) Куча багов, просто жесть в этом плане, миссия- погоня на мотоцикле просто страдает от этого, раз 5 перезапускал ее, потому что преследуемая машина куда-то врезалась и не могла дальше проехать, дабы триггернуть скрипт, а если ты вылезешь с мотика, чтобы попытаться убить их, когда они врезались, миссия сразу завершается, мол ты их упустил)) Такой бред ей богу. Затем очень криво расставлены аптечки, в какой то миссии их 10000, а в какой то вообще блин нет, хотя очень нужны ( например галерея) . Баги с нпс ваще норма, если ты мирного убиваешь, и он, допустим стоял близко к стене, то скорее всего он наполовину войдет в стену... либо нпс просто стоят тупят, крч мрак с нпс в этой игре на самом деле. Еще обещали, что противники будут очень живо реагировать на попадания, так вот херня это все, с томика стреляешь им в грудак, похеру абсолютно, стоят дальше как ни в чем не бывало и палят по вам, то же относится и к конечностям , импакт от попаданий минимален. Мотоцикл , кстати, очень плохо сделан в том плане, что, если ты врезаешься в условный объект на огромной скорости, то ты даже не слетаешь с мотоцикла, продолжаешь как ни в чем не бывало на нем сидеть. Крч много на самом деле проблем в игре, но в целом неплохо , сюжет + атмосфера+ тема итальянской мафии в США вывозят ее.… Expand

    good remake. Memory of a great game. I liked the graphics, the story changed a little in some points, but the essence remained the same. Of the minuses, of course, dubious shooting

    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.
