    This game is bad and this is not anymore the mafia game. Please give franchise back to original developers they know what they are doing and they know what is mafia game.

    Very poor graphics, blurry at best. The game feels a Beta release due to the glitches. Does not draw inspiration from Mafia 2, and is a huge step backwards.

    +1 for music and storytelling.

    My review stands on par with the rest of the bad reviews posted here. Have been let down very badly by 2k games and their piece of **** Mafia 3. Mafia 2 was way better and had left me in lot of hopes on this one which they have let down.
    I recommend every gamer to not buy or download this stupid game and play and waste time.

    Definitely Mafia III is an example of how not to do this type of game. The game is completely backward compared to the previous views lack a lot of things to the point that I made a mistake this game with beta because in such a game looks one big beta. Everything is linear comes to the implementation of the same scheme. The history of the main character also does not knock on my knees andDefinitely Mafia III is an example of how not to do this type of game.

    El mayor insulto que le podrían haber hecho a mafia. Este juego es una mierda por donde se lo mire. Gráficamente es una basura, parece incluso pintado con acuarelas. En rendimiento es una basura y está lleno de bugs, (ademas de los detalles cuidados deliciosos de los anteriores mafias ya no existe).

    There are too many glitches. I'm disappointed. Developers made completely new style of 60th. I loved Mafia 1, it was al capone's time. Unfortunately, Mafia 3 and Mafia 1 are absolutely different games.

    Mafia III isn't only bad because the story itself is OK but the rest of the game is literally all the time exactly the same. Got to point A kill somebody or destroy something, than go to point B and do the same thing again. And do this like 50 times in the game. So DON'T buy this game for the gameplay, because that is horrible.

    Story of the game is really great, I enjoy it very much so far, main characters are OK.

    However PC version is just a COMPLETE JOKE, why? - Most of the textures does not exceed 512x512 (WTF did 2K think?) - Resolution is upscaled from 720p to 1080p, clap clap... - Various graphical issues (Lightning etc.) - Ultra repetetive gameplay - In around 8 hours of gameplay, at least 70% of    Story of the game is really great, I enjoy it very much so far, main characters are OK.

    - Ultra repetetive gameplay - In around 8 hours of gameplay, at least 70% of the missions is basically identical, go there kill those guys/interrogate, sometimes destroy this or that... it became boring, very boring.
    - 30 FPS lock
    - Performance issues
    - Un-rebindable keys
    - Poor choice of graphical settings, there is literally only 5 settings you can change and no more.

    The Graphic is not consistent Aaaghhhh **** game.The Gameplay is not good too. And God...... The Skybox Seriously.Even Indie Games have good skyboxes.The Missions are repetitive. The only good thing that i have experienced is driving its better than Mafia 2 which was a marvelous game.I played half way through Mafia 3 and have uninstalled.

    Useless game. Full of bugs and glitches, crashes every 20-30 minutes. The only good thing is the storyline, very good storyline. For that reason i give it a rating of 3.

    Don't even bother buying it. The game takes many hours of your life to finish it, while the plot could be few hours long, but the repeatable gameplay makes it last much longer. If this wasn't enough, this game has a ton of technical issues and has cut out the best mechanics of it's predecessors.

    This is game about a complexed racial afro shooting and burning and running over innocent white females and men. Its a game made with hate in mind. Shame it has a real good soundtrack, but i wont let my kids play it. It has NOTHING to do with a "Mafia" game, just the name.

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.… Expand

    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... :(

    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    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.    … Expand

    I gave it a 1 for the excellent music track. Pretty much everything else about the game is bad. Some of the older Mafia titles are quite good and I have enjoyed those in the past. This trash was made for consoles and that usually destroys what might have been a good game as it did here.

    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.
