    Optimization - piece of sh*t. Never buy it, because of optimization and big amount of bags

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There are so many reasons why I disliked this game. For starters, it wasn't a remaster as much as it was a tuneup on models of most of the main characters. Practically nothing else changed with this game from the previous-gen version. Almost every NPC looked unpolished , the audio in a number of cutscenes sounded horribly outdated, and most of the glitches and bugs from the original game were persistent. I remember enjoying this game when it first came out 10 years ago. Maybe it was because I was younger and I didn't know a thing about good story. The story in this game is, practically, nonexistent--or, at least, it branches off or creates new storylines so many times to the point where there's no actual basis for what's going on. The open world is enjoyable but feels unnecessary as there are almost 0 rewards for exploration and no side missions or activities in the world. This game might've been better if it had no open world to speak of as there's very little substance to it. There are multiple points in the game where you lose ALL of your money without any prompting. While I don't wish to slight the game for it, the use of ethnic and racial slurs throughout the game has not aged well and gives the game a very poor modern scope. The combat is unbelievably frustrating and punishing. I did not feel any better at shooting or aiming in this game in the final mission than I did in the first. The ending is also one of the worst I've ever seen in a video game...AND IT WAS NEVER RESOLVED, even after a bunch of DLC. I despise this game and I wish I could give it a 0 but I instead give it a 1. Why? Because the music was fine.… Expand

    I can't believe this game was ever considered good. It's so damn boring. The gameplay is a snoozefest and the story is as cliche as it gets. Good lord. How did this deserve a remaster?

    After playing Mafia 1 Definitive Edition, I am so angry I wasted my time on Mafia 2. This game is so much worse than the original. Horrible story, graphics are not good I could barely tell the difference between this and the original. BORING!

    A broken port of a classic game. Some bugs are so bad the game becomes unplayable. Sometimes hard reloading the game/restarting the mission helps, but sometimes it doesn’t. The game also likes to freeze dead in random occasions. So sad, the original game is so good and exciting.

    It has nothing new in this title. The main game is being re-sold, but there are no changes and cut content
    Fake game double 2
    Replay one game several times without changes, cheating!

    This is a bad port of a mediocre PS3 game. The original Mafia, while rough around the edges, was great because it had great characters, an engaging rags to riches story, and a memorable city to explore. Mafia II has none of those things.

The original Mafia, while rough around the edges, was great because it had great characters, an engaging rags to riches story, and a memorable city to explore. Mafia II has none of those things. The playable character, Vito, is a generic war veteran who comes home from the war, and through circumstances beyond his control starts rising up the ranks of the mafia (never heard that story before). The characters are at best unremarkable and at worst insufferable. The city is entirely empty. Money is barely needed for anything, which is good, because the story really loves to give Vito large sums of cash just to take it away two or three missions later. The police are either completely idiotic or omniscient depending on how lucky you are. The game has an overreliance on driving from one end of the city to another, sometimes two or three times in just one mission. The gunplay is downright terrible. The game has a real problem with questionable hitboxes and enemies that are total bullet sponges. No joke, you can shoot a guy at point blank range in the chest with a shotgun and he will probably walk it off. The checkpoint system is also garbage. Most missions don't have any, making you redo at least 20 minutes of gameplay each time, which usually also involves needing to skip several cutscenes. One particularly egregious instant comes late in the game when you are tasked with killing a character. You are thrown into a massive firefight with 20 or so enemies only to then be thrown into a small, enclosed room with about 10 more guys while the boss is chucking molotov cocktails at you. The only problem is that due to the wonky hitboxes, the cheap enemy placement, the lack of cover, and the small environment, you basically don't stand a chance. Every time you die, you have to do the entire sequence all over again too. There's also a very common glitch on another mission where you are required to race to another character's house, break down his front gate, and get in the home on the most tight time limit I think I've ever seen where the gate to his home is suddenly protected by an invisible wall. The only known fix for this glitch is to shut off the game completely and restart the game. On top of all this, the game looks like an early PS3 game. Character models are reused constantly. This is especially noticeable when doing missions that involve Black or Chinese characters because they could only bother to create about two or three character models. On top of that, the game runs like garbage too. Almost anything you do will cause the framerate to tank. Texture pop ins are to be expected. I also had several cutscenes which had real Assassin's Creed Unity vibes because characters and their skin were moving independently of each other. There was even one bit in a prison where everybody from guards to inmates were all t-posing to assert dominance. All in all, this is a buggy, poorly optimized version of an already bad game. Save your money.… Expand

    Оптимизация говно, студия H13 только чушь и может делать. Дизреспект, проседает вечно графика, блики, неприятные и очень отвратительные текстуры, не советую никому покупать переиздание, только оригинал!!!

    How can you make an open world so bad?

    The story is the biggest cliché in the world of the mafia, everything seen in mafia movies happens in the game with expected results, without emotion and the character cannot be flatter and boring. Who had the great idea that you are always on a mission? How is refueling fun or something? Why are there invisible walls and you can't fall    How can you make an open world so bad?

    Who had the great idea that you are always on a mission?

    How is refueling fun or something?

    Why are there invisible walls and you can't fall into the water?

    In addition to the countless bugs of all kinds, even in the trophies.

    The dlc, are even worse and with that dlc wanted to compete against the episodes of gta iv? LOL

    The ridiculous collectibles the amount of them and they do not contribute anything

    The map is small and boring

    In short, mafia ii shows the rest of the developers how NOT to make an open world game    … Expand

    The new version of Mafia 2 is more polished, cleaner and more detailed than ever before, but the problems with the plot, mission development, character development, driving and gunplay are still present. Ultimately, players who still own the original (now dubbed "classic") version of the game on Steam, had better stick to it.

    There are other modern updates, I’m sure. It runs fine on my PC, and though I have seen reports of bugs and glitches, I didn’t encounter anything egregious. But there’s still a question of why. Why remake these games? Why put a fresh coat of paint on this weird little action shooter that is not so fondly remembered? I’m sure there are compelling business reasons, but nothing that makes sense to me as a gamer. Mafia II is an imperfect fix to a game that was already pretty flawed. Now it’s just as flawed, but in a way that can be appreciated by modern audiences.

    Mafia 2: Definitive Edition is a decent buy for anyone that hasn't played the original (on PC, anyway). It's a more complete package with superior graphics, but there are definitely aspects of the game that haven't aged well.
