    O jogo tem alguns defeitos, não é tão bom quanto um gta5, porém não é tão ruim como um watch dogs.
    Pra mim é um bom shooter.
    A trilha é recheada de classicos do rock, como Stones, hendrix, Creedence, Animals e outros

    I played this game long after release. Most of the bugs and 30 fps limit has been lifted etc. Graphics ok. Sometime very nice for old game. Story is linear but I liked it a lot. Game play is extended through DLC. Game play gets repetitive time to time. Yes the reason to drive and shoot alters but it is gets repetitive and grindy. Still some bugs but no more game breaking ones.

    Did not find the Mafia III Definitive Edition here, but I will say that the modified game pulls 9/10 in all its volume of the game and locations with scenarios in general.

    But the graphics are still not clear why they are so soapy and cloudy colors ...

    This is the only worthy game from the Mafia series where there is a big world - a lot of localized objects for interaction - a lot of exciting and additional content - the only graphics were made by freaks, but with modification to the graphics from modders - good.

    First off, many of the reviews on here are from the initial release of the game. Many updates have come since which addressed most of the issues people experienced. So, to get a good picture of what this game is like, I'd suggest skipping over reviews of people complaining about performance, crashes, and related issues.

    As for my review, I LOVED playing this game. Yes, some of the game-play was a little repetitive, but the story. The story in this game was wonderful and I was completely taken in by it. I really connected with Clay and while the game was a little rough around the edges, that didn't actually take away from it actual enjoyment.

    Many people complained about not having fast-travel. Why would you want to fast travel when you can run around, steal any vehicle, and just drive? It's one of the most fun parts of the game. The soundtrack was also spectacular and cemented you into the era and location.

    The driving is awesome, feels a bit like GTA 4 with the nice weighty old school physics. Drifting is so good when you get it right, feels absolutely boss and rewarding every time you do a huge 100mph handbrake in power out through traffic.

    The story is great, it's intense, funny, forever evolving.
    The missions are great, sure the theme can get repetitive but let's be serious.. it's realistic? If you were taking over an entire city you would have to go through endless shoot outs and kill hundreds of mobsters and that's what happens and not once did I think "oh damn I have to kill more guys". Every time I thought where's my Blackburn FAF-33 and god damn tac vest I have some mobsters to kill, arms dealer get over here pronto!
    The audio and music is awesome, before this game I had hardly listened to 60s - 70s rock and blues, now I'm a huge fan.
    The scanned playboys are awesome!? Genuine vintage playboy in HD!?

    The wishlist:
    More gore would be nice, I would love to see some body parts get blown off when I unload a shotgun point blank.
    When killing key story characters like mob bosses etc, instead of the boss being killed in the cut scene, I would like the boss just to be put on his knees in the cut scene, and then switch back to player controlled Lincoln to allow me to put the chrome to his dome and pull the trigger myself (or throw him out a window etc, it should be my decision).

    DIY fixes:
    Download ReShade and a decent preset to make the graphics looks awesome and I'm playing with everything on low because I have a GTX 750 Ti and i5-2500k, still looks great, getting around 40-50 FPS and it is smooth enough for me.

    Otherwise this game is great, I have no idea what all these other reviews are comparing it to? It's a great simple action adventure shooter.    … Expand

The game has more beautiful tracks and soundtrack of the games, however, as the repetitive memories, in addition to the bugs and existing flaws, which have hampered the experience of the game in its launch period. With over 200hrs played on Steam, I can tell you a bit about it.

    Maybe if the game was released with all the dlc's and optimizations not only on the consoles, but also on the PC's, the third game in the series would have a greater acceptance of the public; And because of the story and its soundtrack, I end up playing countless times for the FUN that the game has brought.

Playboy magazine collectable is the coolest. This is not just cover pages but actual photos of models and some interesting articles from Playboy magazine in the 60th.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had to redo my original review of this game after playing an additional 17 hours or so as one of the complaints that I wrote about (having to return to the safehouse to stash my character's cash in between missions in order not to lose half of it if my character died) was not valid. Turns out you can unlock a perk from Vito that grants you the consigliere who you call on your phone and the show up in less than 5 seconds to collect your money.

    So since I can;t just edit my original review here's a rewritten one:

    For me the game is quite enjoyable. It looks quite good to me and runs smoothly at 60 FPS since I installed the patch. I have had one CTD in 26 hours of game play. (My system is nothing special- I7-2600K@3,4 GHz, NVidia GeForce GTX 970 with the latest driver, 32 GB ram, Windows 10 64 bit, Sony SSD)

    I think that the reason that there are so many negative reviews is that people weren't expecting an Assassin's Creed type of gameplay. If you like to run and gun you probably won't like this game. Stealth is a huge part of the game especially in the first dozen or so hours. Patient is a virtue in short supply these days so I feel that rather than admit that they are impatient people they just slam the game. If your style is run and gun you will die a lot. And I do mean A LOT. Also if you don't like late 60's music and IMO a rather accurate portrayal of the racism that existed in the 60's (I turned 13 in 1965) you probably won't get it but trust me, it is an accurate portrayal. The first school that I attended was segregated and I still remember the anger and rage that so many white people felt about that issue. Get over it, it happened.

    The only complaint that I have about this game is the lack of a manual save feature; of course this is not a small thing. Honestly I can't give this game more than a 7 because of that but since so many, um, mentally challenged people have given it zeros (I mean really, a zero???) I decided to put mine at 10 for the official count just to try and balance things out a little. If you played and enjoyed Assassin's Creed IV and liked it I think that you will probably really enjoy this game.

    A few thoughts about the game design:
    -You are limited to two weapons at the start, some type of pistol and a shotgun, rifle, automatic rifle, or machine gun. Ammo is also limited although you can pick up the NPC's as you kill them assuming that they are using the same type of weapon that you are.
    -The driving in the game (and there is no fast travel option like the taxi in GTA V) reminds me of GTA IV, Cars will only survive a 3-6 crashes depending on how severe they are before they just stop running,
    -I found the story quite engaging and the cutscenes (and there are a lot of them) look so very cinematic. The facial motion capture that they used sets a new standard for quality; it is quite literally amazing..

    No game is for everyone. If you like Call of Duty and GTA V you will most likely not enjoy this game so don't buy it. That simple. And who buys a $60 game without spending at least an hour on YouTube checking out the gameplay before buying? There have been play throughs of Mafia 3 for at least two weeks on YouTube (check the Angry Joe Show and TheRadBrad channels for some). But I just don't see how any honest reviewer could give this game less than perhaps a 5. There are indeed some odd design decisions but what game doesn't have those? I know that some people have complained about having trouble getting the game to run and crashes. All that I can advise on that is to make sure that your video drivers are up to date before you start. Download and run an excellent program called CCleaner that scans for issues with your registry and then fixes them. If you don't have a SSD defragment your harddrive before you start downloading the game. Repair the game in Steam (remember, Google is your friend). If you do buy the game, relax and enjoy it! It is a very well done game-not perfect by any means. The lack of a manual save is especially irksome (I do hope the developers fix that via patch sooner rather than later) but other than that, just think Assassin't Creed and not GTA V when you buy it.    … Expand

    Graphics seem great, yea they could be better but can't they always?

    Soundtrack is fantastic and catchy

    Story so far seems well writen and well characterised I feel for clay already and I still haven't hit upon the meat and bones of the game yet.

    As for the rest of the game i haven't really got to the side objectives and taking Sal apart so i can't say anything about it which is a shame.

    Driving mechanics are serviceable I've switched to simulation and the car now feels heavy and more realistic and as for the shooting mechanics although Clay was a soldier he hasn't got the pin point accuracy of max payne because of this it feels a little more authentic with the gun fights, you won't be popping headshots left and right you will be forced to ground as you are not a bullet sponge this helps make the shooting feel tense rather than just filler, the guns so far have a nice heavy feel and the death animations of the other guys are well animated.

    Now for the nasty stuff, the game had ramdomly shut with no error message only once in my play through and when I was loading up the game i was unable to set the boarder because i couldn't see any button prompts I had to wait till i got into the game to do so (not that major i know but still an issue i came aross)

    Lastly a level headed view of gaming on PC in 201X, games are coming out quicker and sooner then ever before this is because they can cut corners and "patch it later" just like this 30FPS lock that has got all the gaming snobs in a fuss, granted we've spent alot on our gaming PCs but we've been told it WILL be patched in soon, the game is more than playable at 30FPS ANY game is playable at 30FPS so don't let that put you off of a brilliant game at this moment I am going to score it a sold 9 because I am blown away by the game in this short window, but over time I might change my score.    … Expand

    I don't understand people complaining about the graphics. Are we really playing the same game ?? Ok there are bugs and graphics issues, I'm aware of it, but nothing really important. People juste reviewing with a score of 0 juste because of that ? 30fps ? Seriously ???

Those who describe it as a "demanding game" don't know what a demanding game actually is. Mafia III is practically an alpha stage release game, who eats resources like no other game out there, and delivers nothing back! A.C. Unity is a demaning game, yes, but at it's finest delivers a beautiful 1700's world. I simply loved that game! Mafia III fails to deliver anything besides bugs, errors and nonexistent optimization. Again, I really can't believe they screwed up this change of a good game. This is my biggest dissapointment in a very long time.… Expand

    This game is a worthy successor to the past 2 games. The story actually feels more immersive to me then the second game did. The soundtrack makes driving around in your car enjoyable. The driving can feel a little gamey, but there is a toggle to turn on realistic driving.

    The patch also fixed a lot of my minor gripes. I'm very happy with this game so far. Well done team!

    Mafia III is a good game. I would have given it an 8, but I'm bumping it to 9 due to all the unjustified hate-talk around here.

    First thing first: 30FPS lock was fixed within 48h. Yes, it shouldn't have been shipped like that.

    Onwards. AI is poorly done. The game just isn't challenging. HOWEVER, I'm in it for the story. If I wanted a challenge I'd play Dark Souls. GTA V wasn't more challenging, but it definitely was MUCH less interesting. Mafia III captures the atmosphere of the late 60s wonderfully, and the black perspective is terrific. The story is very, very well done. Boss fights are incredible, with attention to details and a lot of depth. Spot on.

    The soundtrack is amazing. Much like Fallout 4, I know I'll be playing the game much after the campaign just because I'll enjoy driving around picking commie propaganda while listening to the radio. Terrific. I wish it didn't stop when I left the car, lol.

    All in all: 3.2 is a joke. It's a score given by cry-babies who never participated in creating a game. This game is amount the 4-5 best games since 2015, period. It's much better than short-as-hell GTA V, that's for sure. Do yourself a favor and check it out. This game deserves a score of 8.5, not a 3.2.    … Expand

    Overall, this is a very good game. I played both Mafia and Mafia II and yes this is a true Mafia game, it´s an welcome change of pace from the old italian mob thing that so many other games already done, including the two first games.

    Yes, the 30 fps cap was indeed frustrating for PC players, we are pretty sensible about our fps, but writing a bad critic of a whole game based only on this issue is counterproductive. It was a bad decision from 2K, and they paid for it, ok, next!

    The graphics are good, but not incredible, really not a "2016 graphics" game, but close. I mean, theres a lot of work to do about the general optimization of the game and fix the low textures issue. But it will be fixed like always. No guys, it´s not an AC: Unity and Batman Arkham Knight all over again.

    The gameplay is good when you are on foot, but driving, well, not so good, not GTA V good. I would say an average between Watch Dogs being terrible and GTA V being amazing. But very playable nonetheless. The AI is not that bright, truth be said.

    What is good? Well, the story is amazing, very rich plot with great characters. The soundtrack is also very good as it was to be expected given the time period. The map is very rich in details and full of landmarks.

    Some minor details also deserve a mention, like when the police is called in a black neighbourhood and the police doesn´t show at all, or takes forever to get there. Or like when you are on a white area and NPCs will give you all kinds of bad looks and offensive comments.

    This "it´s not a Mafia game because it´s not the italian mob" or "it doesn´t feel like a Mafia game" complaint is not fair at all. I mean, everybody knew that this installment would not be centered around the italian mob, so why the heck did you buy the game?! Didn´t you know the protagonist was black? Didn´t you know that only sicilians can become made men? Or worse, didn´t you all know that there are many other race/ethnic based criminal organizations? Serious, guys, don´t be haters!

    Well, could 2K and Hangar 13 have done a better job for the PC port? Yes! But i´ve seen worse. Faaaar worse.

    If you don´t fell like buying the game now, wait for a Steam sale, but do play it someday. It´s very good.    … Expand

    I have played the previous mafia games and loved them to death. Both previous titles had a heavy emphasis on story and free-roaming took the back seat. In this new installment, they push up free roam to a close 2nd place and does so fairly well.

    Many people like to compare this game to the GTA series, simply because it has become the hallmark of sand-box games. You wont, however, find as much to do in free roam in mafia III as in the GTA games, but what they have added is very positively adding to the game overall.

    As in previous mafia titles mafia III´s main focus in on telling a great story and i can tell you right now that it is one fantastic story. Characters are deep and the stories are impacting and entertaining. The game play itself is fun, there are a few repetitive missions throughout but they few and far apart. Physics are spot on, and especially the guns have a hefty feel to them. Technical troubles aside (pre-patch) the game runs smoothly, with some pleasing visuals and a fantastic audio backdrop.

    A perfect example of unawareness.
    Mafia 3 is sort of a sequel to mafia 2 in that its main character Vito makes a return, but sadly only as a throwaway... the star this time is a half black Vietnam veteran named Lincoln clay, his race is important to mention due to the fact the game takes place in the mid to late 1960s, and in the south at that in a fictional new Orleans.. so    Mafia 3

    The first few hours of this game does a great job of bringing the era and time period to life just as greatly as mafia 2 did…
    The world felt alive, hearing npcs on the sidewalks talk about martin Luther king jr, James earl ray, john F Kennedy… and the soundtrack in this game is just as perfect as mafia 2s soundtrack was…
    And there are a few nice touches to the game like the radio getting staticy when you drive through tunnels…
    And then the game cracks and becomes what it’s not and was never intended to be… A generic open world liberation game…
    Mafia 3 feels like an Assassins Creed game and ironically suffers from the same thing recent ac games have suffered from…
    Mafia has never been about its open world… It’s been about being a time machine... it’s why I loved mafia 2 and it’s why I loved most of the assassin’s creed games… Mafia 2 brought you back in time to live in a world that felt foreign… it made me feel nostalgic for a time period I didn’t even get to live through... it had me listening to music from the 40s and 50s in my everyday life and it immersed me into an epic experience because there was so much love, care, and detail inside of every main mission and the world around you… It all felt hand crafted…
    Mafia 3 shifted its focus from being an experience to being a video game the moment it opens up…
    And this is where its cracks start to show
    The game structure is the same throughout… You’re tasked with doing monetary damage to a quote unquote business… each business is different but despite this you do same thing over and over and over for 20 hours… interrogate a target.. They tell you where the product is... you destroy the product, kill some targets, and get an underboss to come out from hiding...kill him… rinse and repeat...
    Once an underboss is killed you can give that section of the city to one of your underbosses for an added perk, careful to keep all 3 happy so they don’t turn on you…
    You have to do this Twice to get the main boss to come out… and this mission to kill the top boss in each city’s section are the greatest moments in the entire game.. so many epic and memorable levels to experience here… and the fact that they make up less than half of the game is completely unacceptable…
    This doing damage to bring out the underbosses and killing them to bring out the boss is a great idea
    I have no issue with this formula being used from start to finish.. what I do take issue is the fact that the structure of these missions dont change…
    Every last mission should be as fleshed out as the kill whoever missions… which again are great points in the game…
    But especially after experiencing witcher 3.. there’s no excuse for your main missions in an open world to not even have half the heart witchers side mission do let alone its campaign missions…
    Sure make me do damage to bring them out, but make each mini boss its own hand crafted experience and story like the main bosses are.. Especially considering they’re required for story progression…
    They feel like rinse and repeat liberation points throughout...
    If that means the story goes from 20 hours to 12, I’m happy...
    a 12 hour masterpiece is worth more to me than 20 hours of the same thing beat by beat…
    The actual gameplay itself I felt is a bit unbalanced and inconsistent…
    The guns in this game took far too long to reload for the amount of enemies you had to deal with.. sure you can call in for help during missions, but it hardly ever mattered…
    You’d constantly get surrounded so cover didn’t matter, even if it did the cover system was super awkward leading you to pop right up trying to switch from cover to cover….enemies felt like bullet sponges, so you’d run out of a clip while dealing with 3 or 4 at a time and while you reloaded it would be over for you…
    Even on the games easiest difficulty I felt it was too easy to die considering the circumstances..
    And for some reason the main target in these missions takes damage like a tank…throwing the feel of the entire game away every time you encounter one…
    You could also stealth around and take out enemies ninja style if you’d like…
    Since you do have a voodoo doll to distract enemies and you can whistle to bring them towards you 1 at a time…
    The outside world is a bit of a letdown too, as cops hardly feel like a threat at all.. More like ornaments…
    And you have to constantly deal with citizens running to call the copy every time you hop in a car like watch dogs but worse...
    And they call them unrealistically fast as do the goons calling for back up….
    An extreme annoyance that I can kill someone before they say a word and it’s too late.. Reinforcements are here or cops are on their way…
    And honestly other than cut scenes or the occasional gunman dropping the n word... I felt like just another white protagonist as no one on the street treated me any different... which was odd considering you do deal with the city’s presence of racism later on in the game…
    But the racism seems to only be reserved for missions, failing to ultimately bring the world to life..
    I feel like those few missions would have been more impactful if I actually got to feel what it was like to be in the shoes of an African American during the mid-60s.. As I’m sure it was far more and far worse than just being called the n word every now and then and only if you were a mobster destroying drugs and shooting places up……
    That being said... mafia 3 still has its moments of greatness…
    The cut scenes, the characters, the sound tract… and the missions the developers actually tried at, all ultimately make this game worth plaything through…

And the game was long, 37 hours did it take me to get trough the main Story. On the other hand, I was disappointed in Just Cause, it being to short and repetitive. I always buy games when the price has dropped a bit, and in this occasion I think it was a good idea, with the game having a lot of issues on release. It's a shame that this gem of a game, with a lot of good content, was released before issues were figured out. I guess the rating would be completely different then.… Expand

    solid game, nothing amazing about it, but a number of things done well, that games such as GTA5 fail at, mainly actual things to do in the in-game world. it is repetitive, but what GTA clone isn't, graphics need work and issues with it not crashing regularly.

    I loved the Story for this game. being huge fan of the 1st and 2nd i believe they topped those with the 3rd. After the update and allowing unlimited FPS or 30/60, definitely has helped. use a 1070GTX all maxed out on the graphics, the game looks damn awesome.

    I'm enjoying mafia 3 even though it doesn't really feel like a mafia game but rather a good revenge story. If you go into this game expecting GTA or Witcher 3 content then you might want to wait until a sale, but if you like good stories and gun fights you will get a kick out of this game.

    to be honest this is the worst game i ever played since GTA 2 , i dont even believe that who did this game are real developers !!! if they are , they should quit making games forever or even they should be put in to a trial for being this arrogant after testing the game and distributing it . **** you Hangar 13, **** you 2K Games, all you motha****ers !!!

    This game is so much better than the reviews are making it out to be.

The locales and architecture are diverse, the story is very interesting (more so than GTA V in my opinion), and the driving (especially in simulation mode) is much, much better than the driving in GTA V -- cars feel heavy and you can drift and fishtale around corners -- think DRIVER for PSone. I was not alive in the 60s, but I appreciate that the developers were able to create an experience that is evocative of an equally magical and dangerous era. As most open world games take place in the present day, they lose the fantasy element that this game has going in its favor. Also, even locked at 30 frames, it looks incredible and plays just fine on a capable PC. If you have the capability to play at 60 fps with the setting bumped up, it looks better than GTA V in my opinion.… Expand

    I haven't played the game yet and don't think i will, from the videos ive seen the game looks like nothing special.. looks just like the same open world bs we've all seen in the past, and everyeye i just want to point out that we shouldn't have to finish the game to appreciate it or even like it.. we should like it while we are playing the damn game XD rating 80 so everyeye can see this.

    The game was very good i liked the story. But it feels repetitive after progressing the story. And nothing to do after you finish the missions. They should release some free dlcs soon.

    What holds the game back the most is the already mentioned repetitiveness as there is a decent chance that you have to clear out the same hall of goons once again depending on the territory just to kill a leader who you really don't care about.
    The character of Franklin looks is a bit unusual as he is taller and tougher then any other character you can see throughout the game, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun breaking bones with this hulk of a character.    … Expand

    It's an underrated gem. The combat feels fluid and engaging. It has beautiful aesthetics, good gameplay, and a memorable story. The DLCs are also great. Of course, the game is not perfect and has some bugs and glitches, but nothing game-breaking. If you want to play it at max refresh rate, disable fullscreen optimization from the compatibility settings of the game's executable.

Приключение 'Африканского Терминатора 1', который встал на путь "большой МСТИ" в 46 часов подробного прохождения со всеми миссиями без коллекционнок на 'Высоком' уровне сложности. По большому счету это химера 'Ассасин Крид' и 'Сан Андреас', открытие вышек (установка прослушки) и захват территорий на месте. Вообще разрабы любят подпиздить чужие идеи из других игр, особенно это ощущается в DLC. Игра при своем экшон геймплее достаточно медитативная, зашел от нефиг делать, пару часиков пострелял, на машинке покатался, квестики повыполнял, кинцо посмотрел, кайфанул, через пару дней снова зашел почилил на пару часов, а играть фулл тайм из за своего однообразия не рекомендуется, будет фулл духота.

    Из минусов:
    - однообразный и рутинный геймплей между основными сюжетными миссиями;
    - полное отсутствие быстрого перемещения в игре с опен ворлдом KEKW, растягиваем геймплей по полной, катайся через всю карту туда сюда;
    - вторичные персонажи достаточно душные и грузят своей пиздастрадальческой нудятиной;
    - весьма агрессивная пропаганда СЖВ;
    - баги, обычно связанные со скриптами, то задание не запустится, то наоборот не будет пропадать, хотя выполнил его 200 лет назад и тд в таком ключе;

    Из плюсов:
    - годная музыка задающая атмосферу;
    - сносная проработка города, по которому приятно ездить;
    - аркадная, но чиловая езда, особенно при прокаченной тачке;
    - стрельба, та же чиловая аркадность из разряда 'почувствуй себя Джоном Уиком';
    - в меру дозированная жестокость и насилие, которая задает свой шарм игре;
    - тонна активностей, которые при неспешном прохождении могут сносно убить время;
    - DLC, расширяют основной геймплей, дарят годные фишечки и дают любопытные истории, которые переполнены спизженными идеями из других удачных тайтлов 'The Evil Within' 'Uncharted' 'The Witcher 3' и хз чего еще, зато сносно подано, пиздим у лучших и правильно.
    - сюжет, сносный криминальный триллер, который киномотографично и интересно подан, а также не обошлось без приятных саспенсов для фанатов серии в финале истории.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Quando o jogo lançou, vi muita gente reclamando de como ele era repetitivo, e chato. Após baixar e jogar por 2h, concordo na parte do repetitivo, porém, falar que o jogo é mal feito, é muita mentira.
    A ambientação desse jogo é INCRÍVEL, músicas, carros, cenários, roupas dos NPCs, te fazem realmente se sentir como o Lincoln Clay em New Bordeaux 1968 (até na parte do racismo em certos locais e com certas pessoas do mapa).
    Em questão de combate, para o estilo do jogo, é muito bem feito, a variedade de armas, aremessáveis, e o modo que o combate se passa são bons.
    Já em questão de dirigibilidade e mapa, infelizmente Mafia 3 peca bastante. Sabemos que explorar o mapa é bom, porém, só poder recrutar chefes após pegar grampos e invadir caixas de sinais, chega a dar um pouco de desanimo. Pra quem gosta de caçar 100%, este jogo tem bastante espaço para você.
    Caso tenha umas horinhas livres (e bastante paciência para ir e vir), vale a pena dar uma chance para esse jogo, caso contrário, passe longe, fique no Mafia 2    … Expand

    Mafia III isn’t necessarily a bad game, but it is definitely not a true heir to the Mafia series. The story is rich and the gameplay is satisfying (although it’s nothing special), but having played the previous games in the series (especially the first one), I never felt like I was playing a Mafia game.
