Про многочисленные баги, и печально известные отражения в зеркале и так уже все в курсе. Игра надоедает по сути через часа 4, как-раз из-за ебан*того решения менеджеров, а настоящая ее продолжительность часов 25. Под конец уже чувствуешь себя зомби, который не осознает что делает, просто без задней мысли. Прошел с трудом.… Expand

Just usual console casual open-world shooter, like some a bit richer clone of minecraft, of which there are plenty.
    What it has NOT is connection to Mafia series. This game mostly about racism and fighting with cardboard grotesque rednecks.    … Expand

    As a person who values story, context and the general feel of the mood in the game I would say story ended as soon as you got released in to the open world to help your future crew.

    They tried. But it surprised me I expected utter **** and it wasnt that bad it even had its moments but still its plain and boring, still gunplay wasnt that bad it was enjoyable even if it was simple as hell, driving was nice and story was just ok. Its repetitive nature brings it all down and discourage you from finishing it.

    this is the most divisev game of this series. The best story ever in gangstar/mafia story( since Mafia 1). Highlits:
    *best simulation car driving
    *best radio stations with commentary
    *best story driven in a game
    *great shooting mechanism
    Bad:
    *so much repetitive missions(beside DLC)
    *repetitive actions
    *youMUST complete this **** side underboss actions to forward storry action

    Well, it's playable, but far, very far from previous Mafia games. Driving is bad, missions are repeating and boring, the story is average. I hope they will not fick Mafia Definitive Edition with this.

    The worst thing in this game is repeating the same missions all the time. Plus the game is glitched. Disappearing textures are not the worst thing here. Only thing that saves this game from 0 grade for me is driving patttern and final boss missions.

Но если от всего этого закрыться и просто играть, можно получить какой-то кайф от не самых плохих ДЛЦ, покатушек на неплохо сделанных (правда, с ужасной физикой) моделек машин, перестрелок (с плохим ии и их моделью повреждения) и т.д.… Expand

    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.    … Expand

    MAFIA III is the first game of this franchise I have played.
    I was surprised of the horrible game physics when driving a car.
    The missions are repetitive because 2K built an overcrowded RPG.
    Next time: less missions and more thrilling moments. :-)

    While this game deviates from the format, the story of revenge shown isn't something original but it's done well and presented nicely. Everytime you kill someone and work your way up the list, the kill is awesome. It gets tedious after a while, but the gameplay makes up for the game loop.

    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.
