    I hated it when I've initially purchased it, but after so many years, I've given it another shot and I'm having a ton of fun playing it.

    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

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.

    The story and the characters have some nice texture but lack a bit of depth in some ways.
    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.

    The shooting mechanics are pretty fun, stealth too, if only the developers didn't force people to play through all the side content so much until it becomes repetitive, and left players with a choice to skip the repetitive side missions and follow the story, I have no doubt more people would finish this game and the score would have been higher.
    Lincoln Clay is also one of the best protagonists in games, ever. Such a shame this game failed because of such a minor issue that could have been easily corrected.    … Expand

    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

Combat is excellent, lots of shooting, cool guns, cool driving, and the game has interesting story. Cutscenes are really well done.Collectables are finally worth finding. 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. The game is not as monotonous as some say. There is variety of different types of main missions and some cool side missions. I have not encountered any major bugs in the game.

    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.

    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.

    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.
