    I'm speaking about the game as someone with no history with this series. So just keep in mind I'm not criticizing it as a remake, I'm criticizing it as a modern game I paid full price for. That preamble out of the way the game is decent but entirely unspecial and unoriginal. All cover shooting was basic, with linear shooting galleries, and nothing original to bring to the table.

That preamble out of the way the game is decent but entirely unspecial and unoriginal. All cover shooting was basic, with linear shooting galleries, and nothing original to bring to the table. 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.… Expand

    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.

    Other than that, I **** enjoyed it.    … Expand

    One of the best games of this decade. Great characters, great storytelling and great visuals and sound. The only drawback would be the racing mission but apart from it, every single other mission rocks.

    Well, one of the best example for the concept of remake. I finished the game at normal difficulty, now i started again at classic difficulty and its not as hard as mafia version 2002.

    MAFIA DEFINITIVE EDITION is faithful to the original vision and great as it is, but the game could have been improved with more budget - 8/10

    The original game was one of my favorites, and I've finally played this version. I honestly felt very respected by the developers. This edition is such a pleasure to play and such a beautiful homage to the fans. There were some bugs and AI problems along the way, especially in the prison mission, but it didn't turn me off.

    I really wanted to love this game but I just couldnt. The story is rather fun but man for a 10 hour game this gameplay is so repetitive. At first I was like wow this is awesome and then 75% of the way I was kind of wishing it was over.

    Orjinal oyunun ruhu bozulmadan güzel bir modernleştirme yapılmış ve döneminde üst düzey olan hikayesunumunu günümüz için de ortalama üstü bir düzeye çıkartmışlar.

    Es muy buen juego, tiene una historia que es casi lineal y algo corta, pero se compensa completamente ya que es bastante fuerte, buena y triste, los gráficos son muy agradables, lo único que nunca me ha terminado de gustar completamente de los mafia es su jugabilidad, especialmente al momento de conducir. Se agradece mucho las voces en mas idiomas, para mi eso también cuenta mucho.

    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.
