    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.

    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

    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.

    This game is awesome.
    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 combat is awesome, the guns feel great, the cover system is great. The story is great, it's intense, funny, forever    This game is awesome.

    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. I hope for a sequel with John Donovan as the protagonist, whoever finished the game knows what I'm talking about.    … 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.
