Graphics is ok, but feels unpolished too, and then again, new Mafia: Definitive looks way better. This game has literally nothing good about it. 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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    MAFIA III is the first game of this franchise I have played.
    I was surprised of the horrible game physics when driving a car.

    3- it is very very easy form a professional player to die and die and die from stupid mobs while trying all your efforts to survive a stupid person will shot and kill you and you have to repeat from far beginning , i tried many ways to complete mission but i felt too bored and i quit and deleted the game finally .
    4- the movement of the main character is dull and swing , the driving of cars is too bad and old .

    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.

    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.

    I remember when this game came out, everyone criticized it. 6 years have already passed and I decided to pass it. And I must say that this is still a raw game.

    And no matter how many patches are released, no matter how hard 2K Games tries to fix bugs, they will still remain. It's been 6 years and they're still there. 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.

    One of the best openings to a game, but also, one of the worst games of all time. Mafia and Mafia 2 are one of the games I've ever played but Mafia 3... We don't talk about it.

    Hair raising story i get the chills just thinking about it. Very cinematic cutscenes... The car mechanics lack the refinement so does the optimisation.

The graphics are good, but the story or things like that that were in Mafia 1 are completely gone, for example, the behavior of cars is gone in Mafia 3, everything the mafia needs is gone.

And this is also the case that Americans worked on Mafia 3, but Czechs worked on Mafia 1 and Mafia 2, which were highly rated games, and I find the main character in Mafia 3 terribly unsympathetic. I only give plus points for the graphics and the fact that there was Vito from the last part of the Mafia 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.

    i am tired of this time due to one glitch what happened on my Acer nitro 5 then i start the game.This glitch is about complete stop of the game in the beginning,in the police station.I tried everything to escape this glitch,even re-download the game,but nothing even happened.I am tired of this chaos so i completely uninstall this game for better.
    i think that studio "Hangar 13" are need to be attentive to make the games and their settings.

    Not the best of the franchise. Not the greatest story, not the greatest gameplay. But the 60s ambiance is really good, the musics are really well used and the characters well written. If you only play for the story, this is a great game. i can't wait to see mafia 4

    Hum. What a shame on this one. Again game from 20+ years (Mafia Definitive Edition, I & II) are so much more enjoyable. You can really compare the both era of those dev studio. How shameful it is to release this after the two masterpiece. I mean.. for me it’s just not a Mafia. We are waiting for a Mafia III one day :)

    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.

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

    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

    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.
