    One of this year's better open world games, but poorly optimized with a number of issues including flickering, visual glitches at the edges of the screen, and frequent unpredictable crashes. Game is a 7.5/10, port is a 4/10. Having to wait two whole days for 60fps was no big deal, but that's far the end of issues, unfortunately.

    mafia 3 has its issues and bugs, most of which draw a laugh from me and a few moments were it cost me a mission, its a decent game maybe worth buying if on sale, but nothing ground breaking here just a poor mans GTA.

    I didn't spent $2500 in a f****** PC to play games that looks like old gen consoles.

    It's too bad because execpt the visual aspect and graphic gliches, the late 60's atmosphere is cool. Anyway, I will not buy games without reviews from no on, it looks like an alpha version but i paid for a finished game... :(

    Good story/scenes and some fun gameplay moments, harbored by a lack of imagination of what to fill the other 15 hours of gameplay with. The majority of your time will be spent doing the same repetitive sets of side mission.

Not even gameplay lifts the whole thing up since it is inaccurate and formulaic. I just hate to think that Mafia III got destroyed by the lack of time (I can't think of anything else explaining this). It's such a shame to see this license being dragged to the bottom of the chasm.

    I rarely write comments about games but I will do this time.
    Story, atmosphere, characters are awesome. Even gameplay is good. But repetitive missions in the middle game are barely standing. OMG. It was horrible experience (I played them just to finish game). They better should make shorter game and it would totaly worked out.

    Altough the game was a mess in it's launch period, after patches that have come, the game is in a much more acceptable and playable state.

    Altough the game was a mess in it's launch period, after patches that have come, the game is in a much more acceptable and playable state. And while the game in terms of tone and setting is quite different compared to previous Mafia games, Mafia 3 still offers a decent experience if you're willing to give it a try.

    Where Mafia 3 stands out the most is in its mature story telling. It's rare to see a AAA game that deals with such heavy political themes as racism in 1960's american south. They're present in both story and gameplay, where you get a certain treatment by cops and other NPC's. It's mostly done pretty well, considering that in this day and age where many agressive ideologically driven gaming industry and media pundits demand games to be preachy with ''progressive'' themes and ask for objectivity to be thrown out of the window for their bias confirmation. Mafia 3, for the most part, handles the strong political themes with a balance, if only with few times when they feel like they're being too heavy handed. The core story aspect is based around vengeance, and it's pretty satisfying to take down the mob one bit at a time. The documentary styled cinematic narrative aspect felt really well done aswell, as the game delivers the story with real time events and from a future perspective, where certain characters retell their stories from times, when you as Lincoln, were on your revenge path during the game.

    Gameplay wise Mafia 3 is a rather mixed bag. It involves quite a lot of repetition, doing same objectives over and over to advance the plot. Though, with the game being more in line with something like GTA, it can be tolerable, for me as a GTA fan atleast. Gunplay is somewhat fun, though the gun sound effects are quite lacking and dont deliver that satisfying ooomph. Driving takes up a lot of gameplay as the game pushes you to go from one point to another, i can say that i atleast appreciate that the driving model was made to somewhat resemble how the cars of the 60's handled, with heavy steering and weighty feeling during cornering. However it works best for slow to moderately fast cars, the supercar car types at high speed really dont feel satisfying to drive, with a feeling that the driving physics are almost falling apart. I'm glad that Hangar 13 kept the collection of Playboy magazines in the game, 1960's had some mighty fine ladies. Another positive is the soundtrack, Take Two has licensed some really nice music for the game to enhance the recreation of the time period.

    Taking over districts by bringing down the members of mafia's chain of command and taking over their businesses one by one was pretty satisfying, and the subplots of each of the underbosses were unique and pretty interesting. Well, maybe apart from the fact that the game doesnt give you a choice in whether to spare or kill the underbosses, as most of them you're being forced to kill, while the lives of a couple of them you're forced to spare. Satisfying aswell was the mechanic in how you need to assign the districts to one of your own of the 3 underbosses, that you recruit during the game, the fact that they can turn on you, if you dont give them districts to run, was a bold move aswell, though i managed to keep all 3 happy. I was happy to see Vito coming back and having him as my underboss, at times i wished you could play as him instead, as i really liked him in Mafia 2. Lincoln himself isnt bad either, he's a likeable, bad arse force of nature.

    The game world, that consists of New Bordeaux city and the bayou swamp lands, is quite well made, with nice attention to details and successfully give you that 1960's american southern vibe and atmosphere, but from a gameplay standpoint, the world really lacks when it comes to things to do in it, there is little incentive to keep playing Mafia 3 after you finish the story, as the game world doesnt come close to the sand box freedom and fun that GTA open worlds offer.

    In it's latest build the game runs fairly well and isnt as buggy as in the launch period. Though they haven't changed how weird the skybox looks and the unnatural looking and feeling shift from clear weather to rainy one still remains.

    Mafia III tries to deliver a strong cinematic narrative within a game, a double-edged sword in the industry of videogames.

Very few have succeeded and Mafia III unfortunately is not the exception. What is more disappointing is that everything Mafia prequels stood for was gone in gameplay and story wise.
    Game Design
    This game has a huge, gigantic, enormous problem with the design of the HUD. I mean critical and it gets to the point when you question if they are insulting your intelligence with text in the screen, unnecessary indicator signs (you have a GPU thing in the map why you would put pop up signs in the actual city) the mission objectives are all over the place; it really ruins the immersion that was built with the city. This is basic and mistakes like this shouldn’t happen in a triple A studios. There are no save files so you can play missions that you like (not that there are many enjoyable missions) and if you want to make different choices you must start from scratch.
    Videogames 101
    Although there are many technical and gameplay design issues I feel that it has already been said in numerous reviews both from users and specialized sites and are explained with great detail. Instead would like to confront a very serious problem that mafia III has and many heavy narrative driven games have: you are making a game and before start thinking in how you’re going to deliver this awesome story you must realize that the player will spend double of the time playing than watching a cinematic. The most beautiful narratives in this medium are created with the player. What a game designer must do to generate this is simple: guide, linearity, scripted events can’t be seen as a bad thing even if you pretend to create this free roaming city.
    What does a Mafia story mean?
    Long story short: means painful slow downward spiral where the price is not worth the sacrifice, where the stakes are always at its highest. Mafia III set this perfectly, the elements where there, even the hints of the non-linear structure story teased a great finale. Instead, every opportunity they had to give us a surprise was wasted. Lincoln never faced a challenge, I never felt was something at risk (not in the gameplay not in the story) Hangar13 portray an un-clever, boring and non-threating criminal world that is waiting to be dismantled (the retaliation thing was a good idea with a bad execution). There’s not even a struggle when you’re assigning districts and conflicts can be easily avoided. Betrayal, corruption, crisis, collateral damage where only mentioned but rarely affected the player. Cops where supposed to be a pain in the ass because of the period, and because they are in Marcano’s pocket, you could easily create and element of “resistance to expansion” where the cops could have been in charge of closing business and fighting associate warehouses. I’ve never seen such potential wasted so easily. That’s why I felt cinematics felt so out of phase.
    Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven
    What made Mafia became a potential franchise? Well practically all the things they erased in mafia III, some may say the story driven immersive cinematic, I would say many games before Mafia I had this signature (MGS, hitman, Final Fantasy) so no, it’s not the resemblance to a Hollywood movie but the details. Some may say useless I may say the soul of a good strong narrative IN GAME. Gun shells bouncing while you’re fighting an ambush, cursing in your seat because you are out of gas in the middle of the street while you need to go to a doctor, running a red light and stop the car cause the persecution is not worth the risk, pick locking a car and wait for the door to open, realizing that the face of the protagonist has a different mood in every mission, shooting a car in the gas tank knowing that it may not explode at all. That is a mafia game and I’m very sad that the franchise has come to this. I’m sure Hangar 13 gave all his love; I felt the effort in every inch. Probably the best character in the game was the city. But I also felt the pressure, the checklist that they needed to fill, the deadlines and the half delivered game.

    A horrible PC port, repetitive gameplay and bad graphics. So why am I still giving this game a 6? Because the game down to its core is still a Mafia game (storywise). The world is also very well created even though the graphics don't serve it well. The best part about the game is the music. This game has gotten me into 60's and 70's rock. So thank you Hangar 17!

    The story itself is really strong, taking place in a fictional kind of New Orleans during the Vietnam war and one the most violent decades in history. Touching subject matter like; Sex, Drug wars, Racism, to name a few, that's a good start point for a story, like i mention, the story is strong and dark... better than the previous games. The ending... not so good.
    The gameplay is boring, the game is a third person shooter, giving the player the freedom to explore the city and do the missions at his own time. The game is split in the main story missions and side missions that will reward you with affiliate favors and earn more money. Now... aside of that, the mission design is so repetitive that later turn to not bee engaging anymore, the missions goes from steal something, or kill someone, interrogate someone and that's all... with shooting more mobs in your way. In the first hour you have taste all what the game has to offer. Playing this game in one sit doing both; the main missions and side missions can take you like 45 hrs to beat (kinda), and like i mention in 1 hr you have experience all what the game has to offer, there you have 44 hrs of the same mission design all over and over again. whit a small addition that you can explore the city to find collectibles like: Hot Rood magazine, Playboy magazine, album covers and Vargas paintings, to keep the game a bit more "interesting"
    Visually the game it's "ok" the cutscenes looks beautiful thus because they are pre-rendered, but the actual game graphics are "ok" for a next gen game.
    One last thing to keep on mind, the game has tons of graphic glitches and some other technical issues, some times some missions will not start at all or some important NPC'S will not react at you and will cause to reload the last checkpoint so they can work. ohh my...
    There's people who said that this game runs badly in every system... for some people. During my 45 hrs i had a smooth frame without any drop (so... i think that frame drops might happen more often with low GPUs).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Play Mafia 3 and this is my review.
    The most interesting part of this game, like all mafia games, is the stories, you follow Lincoln Clay, a Vietnam war veteran that wants to revenge his friends and family death. The story is good but a little bit worse than the last two mafia games, as you're not the mafia himself and the one who want to take down the mafia.
    The graphic is somewhat mediocre, the texture is muddy and the system requirement is really high.
    But the most negative aspect of this game is the game is too repetitive, taking down business and the leader so the high ones come out so you can kill, rinse and repeat, the game is full open world yes but nothing much you can do in the world anyway.

The bodies fall as ridiculously as possible, and the mirrors are just a shame. How can an experienced game company not make good mirrors in the game?
    The main character, Lincoln Clay, is not the most charismatic character.
    The plot is very raw.They wanted to prove to us the philosophy of life, but unfortunately it didn't work out. And the gameplay is not bad and the game was comfortable to play, but the bugs spoiled it all the same.
    Also, the atmosphere is gone. Mafia 1 and Mafia 2 were famous for it, but unfortunately not Mafia 3...
    The missions are as similar as possible. There are only 4-5 interesting tasks in the game.
    And the most important thing. Mafia always differed from other games in that it was not a GTA clone. The mafia could make a very good competition. But Mafia 3 put the series to shame and is now considered a GTA clone.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As Idiot Abroad said: "Being honest with you, it's not a great wall, it's an alright wall. It's the Alright Wall of China"
    That's exactly how would I describe Mafia 3...

    First, the pros. Graphics-wise, it's really nice. The city is well made and the buildings are well modelled. Interiors are also nice. The whole atmosphere of the city is very well captured, but it feels a bit strange to make such a detailed city only for driving around and killing people. Main characters are nicely modelled as well, but the 'generic' ones can be very repetitive sometimes. Car models look nice, but some of them are quite bland.

    Soundtrack is amazing. Radio stations have a lot of bangers and the ambient music is great as well, and it’s dynamic and it works pretty well!

    Gameplay is both good and bad. Gunplay would be the highpoint only if your opponents wouldn't be able to outshoot you , an ex-CIA Vietnam War veteran. They can shoot precisely even from the weirdest positions. Driving is...weird at least. Simulation doesn't feel like a simulation at all, which is baffling given how the previous two Mafias could do it pretty well. And you can't store them, because you can only unlock some of them from the predefined list. But the tuning is quite okay-ish, the only problem there is that it doesn't matter, because of the rubberbanding every AI driver uses. Opponents are sometimes Einsteins, sometimes dumbos. Nothing in between. You can lure them to one corner and kill them all there without them noticing something's happening and that they shouldn't go there. Police is also weird. They lack all the features present in the older games. They either don't care or shoot. When they decide to do something with you, in 10 seconds there's a half of NB's police department on your back. That's not because of racism, that's not because they're funded by Marcano, that's just dumb game design. Also, you can't outrun them, even with a faster vehicle, because of the rubberbanding I've mentioned. And one other thing, car chases are even more annoying because of enemy's pinpoint precision, which enables them to destroy your tyres in 5s at the distance of 100m.

    The biggest problem with the game is the story and missions.
    Spoiler ahead!
    Main protagonists are quite okay written, the best one is obviously Donovan. The others are...meh. Even Lincoln, he looks more like a killing machine than a person. I understand why he’s like that, it just feels weird and unnatural. The dubbing is well made tho.
    The prologue is great, although a bit confusing because you're jumping between past and present. After that, prepare for the most generic and repetitive gameplay ever. Basically the plot is about how Sal Marcano betrayed (and almost killed) you, so you seek revenge. To get to him, you need to kill all of his underbosses and friends. And you can achieve that by capturing districts in the city.
    BIG SPOILER AHEAD!
    All of the district capturing goes like this: meet with two informers, they tell you what two rackets are present in the district and what you should do to them, then the missions spawn on the map. Each district has two different rackets. You need to do certain damage to them to lure out the racket owners. All the missions are: Kill, get info from someone, destroy/steal stuff. Usually, there's one 'unique' mission per racket, which has a different plot but it involves the same stuff as the other ones. After you deal enough damage to the rackets, the racket owner will go out from hiding (usually to a place which you've been to, which is a genius move by him given the fact that you're already familiar with the place). You kill him and then you do the same with the other racket owner. After you kill both of them, you can now deal with the Marcano‘s underboss.
    Honestly, the big missions (killing important people, planting bugs to cars, saving people etc.) are well made and enjoyable, but they take up like 15-20% of the gameplay, which is a problem for a game named Mafia. Mafia was always about the story and missions.
    And that’s the other problem, it’s not a Mafia game. You don’t play as a mobster. You don’t run a mafia. Hell, you’re a black guy (no racism), so you wouldn’t even be able to be a made man. I’m not saying that the story is bad, it’s just badly implemented into the game. Which is a shame, because if you look at the game’s DLCs, they are exactly what Mafia III should be. They have great story, unique missions and quite fun gameplay. The DLCs are much better than the OG story, which is sad. If I give Mafia III 6/10, the DLCs are 8/10. It’s a shame, because they clearly wanted to make a good game, but they stopped halfway through the process.

    So yeah, it’s an okay Mafia.

    I can stand the low fps, the not so good graphic, and also some random crashes. I like the music.
    What i don't really like is the gameplay, so boring and repetitive. Kill all the guys, kill 2 minor boss, kill a major boss, repeat.
    Where is the wonderful story and the thrill from the first mafia ? It's all gone. A bad GTA clone.

    If the AI, graphics and a few other game play mechanics were more polished I would give it a 9 but those things bring what could be an epic game down to mediocre and **** fps caps at least they fixed it fast but why do that unless they are trying to keep console/PC versions similar

    I mean, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Once you do, I don't remember, maybe the 2nd or 3rd mission in the game, every other mission is exactly like that. How do you have such great characters, and such a great setting, and absolutely zero creativity when it comes to missions?

    Minor nits? The music. Why can't I crank the music up separate from everything else? Why is the music forced to be the same volume as the screeching tires, or the dialog?

    Why can't I save a car? Not far along to see if Burke can enhance my car, but it's kinda irrelevent as I can't seem to save a car anywhere. Yeah, google might help here. But if I need google to explain gameplay then you've failed.

This is also first time a Mafia game didn't awe me with visuals. This game is ugly and the lighting engine is so broken that every sunrise and sunset looks like a atom bomb explosion. Random flashing of trees and posters... I could go on and on about that, but all of this can be fixed, what can't be fixed are the missions and boy, oh boy, those are boring. Side missions, main missions, it's all a blur. The initial story, the opening is strong, emotional and very powerful but the further you go, the less enjoyable it becomes. It's an open world game (tired of 'em yet?) filled with repetitive missions. The longer I play, the more I feel like I'm forcing myself, like it's a chore... I'm disappointed but I wasn't expecting anything great, after all, it's not 2K Czech anymore but Hangar 13... and it's their first game. Doesn't matter they have veteran developers there, they might not work together like a real team yet. This game is just mediocre, not bad, not great. Just "meh". Expand

    This whole south thing is just not what I think of when I think Mafia. Where are the Italians? There is no Mafia vibe in this. The story is so uninteresting and long winded. The game play is very repetitive without the variety of previous Mafia games. Unlike the first two, the music in this one sucks. I have never been a fan of the 60s music. In many ways the graphics looks dated and have a cheaper feel compared to Mafia II, which I replayed recently.

    Again, unlike the previous two, the story is so dull that there is nothing keeping me interested to continue playing. I have played for about 5 hours (experiencing several crashes) and I don't thing I am going to continue. Overall it doesn't seem like the same love and care went into this one compared to the previous two. No save on demand?! This is going backwards.

    The Mafia series has always been ahead on game play, graphics, and story telling when compared to the GTA series. I can't say the same thing about this third incarnation that brings nothing new to the table. GTA5 was a lot better and came last year.

    Not everything is bad about Mafia 3 but it's not a good game either. If this was one more year in development, they could have pull something decent out of it.

    First, it came out with this disrespectful 30fps lock. After removing it, turned out - it's not very well optimized. Also it looks pretty ugly, luckily you can fix it a bit with reshade filter (removes blur, sharpens image, fixes

    First, it came out with this disrespectful 30fps lock. After removing it, turned out - it's not very well optimized. Also it looks pretty ugly, luckily you can fix it a bit with reshade filter (removes blur, sharpens image, fixes color palette).

    The next issue is gameplay - it's disjointed from the story and story telling it feels almost like you are doing fetch side quests in MMO. It's utterly repetitive.

    Now boss kill missions are a bit more diverse and are more connected to storytelling, but that's frankly not enough.

    Moving next to a story itself - ideologically it's not bad, but it's not developed enough, it's very straight forward, it lacks plot twists and bit of expansion into more directions. Actually it's just enough because very good narrative and story telling compensates a lot for rather weak plot development.. But with a bit of imagination, more connected gameplay this story could have been pretty solid.

    The areas where Mafia 3 delivers is already mentioned story telling, characters (tho not all of them) and music. Soundracks are really fabulous and they picked most memorable tracks of that time period - I really loved the music in this game. Characters are great - Lincoln and especially Donovan are brilliant, I think these two alone (combined with great voice acting) carried this game out from red rating for me - father James while might appear a bit strange - I thing thematically fits very well here and plays important role in enlightening what kind of story this game is trying to tell. Secondary characters (villains) are also pretty good, they could bring more light on them, but since 80% of gameplay was unrelated - there was no time for it. Finally a bit disappointing are your assets - they have interesting background and good cast, but they stay in the shadow completely thru all of the game - they should have been incorporated more into the game and the story.

    Overall the ending is pretty satisfying as such. It basically tests if you learned something from this story or not (it has 3 major endings, of which one splits into three possible sub-outcomes).

    This game had potential, but it was rushed out in pretty bad shape, but not everything is that bad about it.

    The story is good the first 3 hours, just long enough for you to override the 2h refund limit on steam. After the first 3 hours, comes 20 hours of endless repetative fetch quests and killing everyone quests. You can divide those 20 hours in 3 parts:
    1. Take over this place and kill everyone there
    2. Follow and kill him/her, if he enters a car, kill him through a car chase 3. Burn down

    This is basically Mafia 3, the sad thing is, the first 3 and the last 2 hours are very good, with very good voice acting and AWESOME music/soundtrack. On Pc however, it runs and looks like **** I installed SweetFX with blur remover and reshade just to get rid of the orange and all the blur. Still, I get 40fps on medium (gtx 970) and it crashes constantly.

    This is the biggest disappointment of 2016, therefore I will give it a 5/10 just because the story and the music is top notch!

    - IT IS NOT MAFIA game although props to Hangar 13 for trying something new and innovative in terms of historic setting
    - wonky mechanics and mouse/keyboard control
    - butchered port for PC (no graphical options, antialiasing making game look super blurry, 30fps lock is plainly disrespectful for pc community, crashes)

    Just another developer showing that PC gaming has to be downgraded to the lowest common denominator...Please, learn from CD Projekt Red and Witcher 3

    I really really really wanted to like this game, well, I do like it in small doses but it is frankly impossible to get immersed into fantastic story Hangar 13 concocted due to sheer number of technical issues plaguing the PC version.

    Really disappointed with Mafia 3. Please respect PC community and finish your product guys (so now, 2 days after release when the game got negative reviews you plan to unlock the framerate? Like that could not have been thought of prior to release).

    *note* I do understand there is patch coming but you have to judge the product as it's shipped.

I absolutely love the graphics on low settings. I don't quite understand why people say it looks bad. The texture quality is outstanding on low settings, perhaps people want too much. Driving feels bad, it's true it sucks after Mafia II's driving physics. I also miss NVidia's PhysicX, it's a shame they couldn't make a deal with NVidia and put it in just like in the second Mafia. The things I liked the most is combat and story. Combat feels really good, it's fresh, the AI feels like a real player, not a bot who always knows where you are. They also go "yolo" sometimes, which is always fun to watch. What about the story? Well, I liked the "big missions" you get to play once you complete X ammount of unnecessary "side-missions", but even that gets repetitive and boring after some time. Also, when I first saw the return of Vito in the first teaser-trailer, I was excited, but now I think they shouldn't have touched him and other Mafia II characters. The ending of Mafia III completely ruined the dramatic and shocking ending of Mafia II.

    Overall:

    Worst Mafia game yet.
    Worth buying on sale.

    My thoughts on Mafia III PC (Steam version)

    I have got the game, but only because I wanted to see
    for myself the issues at first hand. To begin with I
    now have to agree wholeheartedly with a number of people
    that this is not a Mafia game. The whole layout structure
    and how the game plays is very similar to games like Saints
    Row from 2009 some GTA-IV elements and even a smidgen
    of Ubisoft similar open world games. There are similar
    mini maps also the flashing red on the mini map when
    you are wanted by the police...and yes you've guessed
    it..."Lose the cops!"...gameplay is so GTA it is
    unbelievable.

    As a game that should not even have the word Mafia in
    the title it is passable for something to do. If the game
    had been released under another name I might give it
    possibly a 6/10 - yes the graphics (once you do a few
    tweaks and occasional groans under ya breath) are OK
    but not ground-breaking.

    The game itself is a cliché "revenge story"
    There is nothing new that has not been done in
    other similar games. Another point I would like
    to make - "cutscenes" hoish! I loved the cutscenes
    of the first game and yeah some of them in the
    second game, but here they jump out at you
    when you least expect them and the pop up
    tutorial just grates on me (would rather have a
    key you can press if needed) - But as it stands I am
    giving it *4/10 because of the misleading manner in
    which the devs have gone about the making and
    release of this game.

The main character is not the typical mother-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, he's a good character. Vito turned in an ordinary bandit, Vito from Mafia 2 there is nothing left. The story we are given after a typical yubisoft routine. After a hard day to relax by performing a dull job, after which to obtain the excellent story missions, but objectively it's complete crap. Mafia 3 should consist only of the topical tasks, which is really nice. Although, we all knew it would be open world for open world with a lot of similar missions, the developers have fed us gameplay video. You're first drawn, the gameplay is good, but then I get tired. In the game, besides the story missions and clips, happy music but it does not merit developers, and musicians of the time. The machines are driven by normal, I on the realism went well. Graphics are so-so, not the level of 2016, especially the sky, this is the most miserable in the sky games!
    The finale of the game is good, proper. There even 2 endings. After passing you can feel satisfaction, although the passage you were doing some stuff. This is not a Mafia, this is a typical game in the open world. WD 2 a definite better. To make the game worse not work for anybody. IT'S NOT MAFIA.

Overall great concept, as usual, but the execution was far under par.

    Maybe I could have grinded the first half out, as i hear the game picks back up toward the end, but there are far too many games out there with attention to the player satisfaction and who put game experience as a top priority. Those are the games I'll put this one down to play.

    Now the music and atmosphere were great in this game, it was all fitting and set the mood well, so as far as the mafia franchise goes, you can see resemblances here.

    But then there was the state the game was in at release, which was truly despicable! How they could even do that wrong to such a degree is still an unanswered question to me!

    So should you buy it, probably not! Unless you don't care about wasting time in repetitive missions and truly like the atmosphere of the game to such a degree that you're willing to buy it.

    as much as i love the mafia series, this one just ruined everything.
    -plain boring revenge story ( good character development though)
    -gameplay gets boring after the first 3 hours, cause you have to repeat the same kinda side missions to get into the real things
    -the AI is stupid
    but at least it runs decent and has some good graphics.

    Now the bad part: the gameplay is pretty repetitive. For some, it's not that bad, but for me it just seems a bit lazy ( I mean its good but not after you done it for the 100th time). Graphics for the " definitive edition" are pretty bad. I don't know what they are doing. The settings are really lackluster. There is no real menu for the underboss system, which is the big thing in the game. There is also no menu to check your character stats or what upgrades you got. In general, buying upgrades is really weird. And finally (maybe it's just me), the world feels a bit lifeless.

    Overall, it comes down to an average score. But only because the story is not trash, it really carries the game. If you don't mind the repetitive stuff, then I would say it's slightly above average (6/10).

I hate how I can't let my hair grow out, Lincoln looks good with a full head of hair and a strong beard. There should also be a garage for that sweet car I stole from Tickfaw Harbor, but nah, game doesn't let you.

    30 FPS lock on launch is garbage, and it takes an awful lot of ram (reduces all of my other running processes, making them unresponsive, and takes up 60%). I can say the Witcher 3, a game with three times more content, takes up less ram (40% with responsive processes) while not causing me a near blue screen. (I'm on a standard 8 gigs.)

    Controls are solid and general mechanics (on-foot, driving, shooting, stealth) are not bad at all.

    Historical accuracy and setting is always a plus.

    I should mention that the missions are boring and repetitive, even some places are very similar and all you do is kill guy after guy, it becomes very action-centered and frustrating because of the lack of variety and the lack of ideas of the developers.
    The main character is boring and bland, he lacks personality and the npcs are not better, they behave like dumb robots. This game is also poorly optimized for PC, The driving mechanics are good but they are very unrealistic because when you hit other vehicles they act like a ramp instead of making your car bump.

    Good (+):
    + Nice graphics in some places.
    + Good variety of weapons.
    + Good driving mechanics

    Bad (-)
    - Painful AI, some enemies do not react to your presence.
    - Very unrealistic combat and driving animations.
    - Repetitive and boring missions and characters.
    - Uninteresting main charcter and storyline.
    - This game is locked in 30 fps and it has many bugs.

En resumen el mundo es aburrido.

    Relacionando con la historia me parece bueno, el juego si tiene algo que contar, posee buenos personajes y buen desarrollo de estos. Muy buena ambientación y banda sonora.

    Lo malo seria, por la parte técnica, gráficos que parecen de la generación pasada y peor diría yo, no a la altura de los actuales, mala optimización para lo pobre que es en temas de gráficos, añadiendo que no puedes jugar a unos 60 fps estables con una PC gamer de gama alta, la IA también muy mala, no representa un reto en el sigilo es muy fácil colarse en instalaciones enemigas.

    Entorno a la jugabilidad, es buena, es cómoda, las ejecuciones violentas me parecen bien, pero lo que haces en el juego es siempre lo mismo, colarte en un edificio y matar a un objetivo, lo que cae en que en el juego siempre estarás haciendo lo mismo, muy monótonas las actividades y misiones.

    Nettes. Spiel es hat echt viel Spaß gemacht. Mehr davon! Nicht zu lang, nicht zu kurz. Genau richtig.

    A a big let-down since the first two Mafia games. While I loved Mafia I and Mafia II, this game bored me really quick. The story is boring and the gameplay repetitive.

    Si bien, no es un juego totalmente nefasto, sin duda es el peor de toda la saga. El que yo considero que es el mayor defecto de este juego es el gran relleno que tiene, es decir, lo alargaron mediante misiones aburridas y los mecanismos de territorios, que si bien, al principio parecen buenos y divertidos, al final terminan convirtiéndose repetitivos y tediosos.

El que yo considero que es el mayor defecto de este juego es el gran relleno que tiene, es decir, lo alargaron mediante misiones aburridas y los mecanismos de territorios, que si bien, al principio parecen buenos y divertidos, al final terminan convirtiéndose repetitivos y tediosos. Algo que caracterizaba a los dos primeros juegos fue su corta historia, que si bien, era un punto negativo, creo que esto es muchísimo peor. Ahora, si mejoraron algunos aspectos, ya que yo considero que la jugabilidad mejoro un poco sobre los anteriores mafia, sin embargo, no la consideraría buena. La música que contiene el juego es agradable y muy bien inspirada en la época. Vimos un aumento grande de armas a comparación del juego anterior. En conclusión, el juego tenía potencial para ser el mejor de la saga, pero de por si la historia es la mas liviana de los 3, todavía quedo peor con todo el relleno que ya mencioné. El juego a la larga se vuelve muy aburrido. Expand

    I never uninstalled PC game so fast like Mafia III. My expectations were really high, because Mafia I was really amazing (One of the my first games), Mafia II was really cool too. I do not understand why they could not follow such a good series...Maybe the story is a little bit interesting but that port. The game is so f**** broken. I am afraid that either updates won't help.

    Game has been patched to include 60 frames, but an initial 30 fps release is dissapointing at best, an insult to PC at worst. Game is entertaining for the first couple of hours, but every aspect of the open world is bugged, so the game fails to pull you into its atmosphere like GTA is able to. Hindering any fun you might have in messing with it.

    The story itself is again entertaining

    The story itself is again entertaining the first couple of missions, but it slowly becomes apparent that you are doing the same missions over and over. In the missions, bugs are also frequent which again makes it hard to get immersed in the story.

    How many times do I have to do the same thing? This is crazy! Every single quest should be unique and different. The quests are repetetive. And the game is not about Mafia; this is about a black serial killer who wants to make a revenge.

    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.

    The story and characters are excellent and the game is enjoyable, but the open world detracts from the experience rather than adding to it.
