    The remake has some good moments, but as original Mafia fan I couldn't say this game is for me. It's packed up with not necessary arcade content, the characteristics of the key characters are changed and they changed a original plot in some points. The game lost it's soul

    Game cutscenes of the movie and fast passing in a day.
    In our years, they do not make high-quality games, only in 2002 the original version remains cult to this day. This Mafia Definitive Edition game has nothing more than a simplified scenario. For what an open walk, there the city is only a picture and nothing more.

    If you want to be very disappointed and play a linear fleeting story and in free mode to chase UFO in a dead ghost town - I think it is better to play the original and put on it an improved graphic mod to improve the graphics, which is available on the websites of the game Mafia-2002.
    I do not advise you to upset yourself, this deceptive DE edition.

    i do think the lucky b*stard mission changes is the most offensive they shorten that so hard
    that being said everything else is rather enjoyable besides some odd choices..
    Remember how Morello's brother survives multiple assassination attempts out of sheer luck?
    That's why his missions are called "Lucky B***ard". Well, the remake has reduced the
    number of assassination attempts (I think the one with the train doesn't happen at all) AND
    the events have been changed. In the original, Paulie tries to shoot Morello in front of a diner
    and his gun jams, but in this version, Tommy PREVENTS Paulie from shooting Morello
    because he's holding a woman hostage. This completely messes with the concept of him
    being lucky.
    They've also changed the circumstances behind the plot twist with (a major mistake, in my
    opinion), they've removed Yellow Pete, they've changed how the Death of Art begins,
    removed even from freeride trains with trams for player activity with them etc...
    If you're like me, and you're kind of a purist when it comes to the story and general
    atmosphere in Mafia, these things will probably constantly bother you.    … Expand

    Hangar 13 did an amazing job on two things - expanded character exposures, cutscenes, actors and graphics. Thats where it ends. The actual “game” is a technological mess, filled with bugs, glitches and poor performance especially on PS4, dumbed down missions and too many liberties that don’t really work narratively speaking in the bigger picture of the story.

    1.Enormous input lag and    Hangar 13 did an amazing job on two things - expanded character exposures, cutscenes, actors and graphics. Thats where it ends. The actual “game” is a technological mess, filled with bugs, glitches and poor performance especially on PS4, dumbed down missions and too many liberties that don’t really work narratively speaking in the bigger picture of the story.

    1.Enormous input lag and large deadzone of the analog stick. The lag between the controller and the character on screen is truly appalling for a console game in 2020, making it impossible to aim. You would think its because of vertical sync that usually is the issue, but the game has awful screen-tearing as well so what causes this lag is beyond me. Fix your engine, Hangar 13

    2. Framedrops everywhere when doing simple tasks like: aiming a long distance rifle, or scoping in, enabling mirror view in the car (try spamming it and the fps of the game tanks).

    3. Awful hit detection. Most of the time enemies just dont get hit because there is an invisible piece of the wall on above or on the side their cover.

    4. The classic difficulty is not “classic”. Its unreasonably hard and artificial. Completed the game on Classic difficulty and its not challenging, just rage-inducing and rather cheap. More damage on you or your vehicles doesnt make it “hard”, Hangar 13, it makes it a poorly optimized difficulty. This difficulty in tandem with large deadzone and input lag softlocked me For 2 hours inside a farm escape mission, in a constant loop of the turret destroying my turret in a matter of 10 seconds, and me not being able to destroy the turret 3 times that fast. On PC without vertical sync and no input lag it might be an easy mission to complete, but on PS4 Its impossible, replaying the whole chapter for Tommy to have more health didn’t help, it just locks you in this hell of 20 second loading screens, and instant demolishion of your truck by that turret (or tommy’s death). Knowing the awful performance on this game i I had to end up using Speedrunner strats of spamming the pause button (while shooting the turret) to slow down the game framerate and not miss a single shot on it. It worked. Its just crazy that i had to end up cheating and breaking the game in order to complete this mess of a mission.

    5. Sandbox is gone. The game is a dumbed down corridor-esque mission-by-mission rollercoaster. The variety of ways you could complete the mission is no more. The sandbox type of walkthrough is not possible and removed in most missions. The game is holding your hand through large amount of forced cutscenes, checkpoints and corridors.
    The enemies will not appear until you hit a trigger or move further. Some missions are so dumbed down and programmed in such an outdated and broken fashion that you can literally run past all enemies and hit a cutscene trigger, and you essentially completed the mission, missing a 40 minute mindless shootout. Sometimes there is no way to quit the vehicle during mission. Sometimes you can’t attack or cant run (you can imagine Hangar 13 saying: “Here’s the deal, player, we are forcing you to look at our interrior details, so we removed run feature inside buildings”). There is no way to complete the “Visiting Rich” completely stealth, or without casualties like in original. You also cant enter side door, or backdoor of the building like the original. You also can’t ask salvatore to lockpick doors, instead you play a stupid hide-and seek scripted sequence which makes it look silly. You are also forced to take out the entire army of bad guys in the garden-maze and can only enter the building using the front door. The maid is also not hostile and cant alarm guards, so essentially you can run around the mansion like Usain Bolt, making this mission pale and dumb in comparison to the original atmospheric hitman-like experience.

    6. The rewritten score pales in comparison and hardly touches any strings of the players soul (mine especially.) If it does, its because they mixed-in some notes from the original score, the other “battle” or “sad themes are generic and dull. The musical pieces feel out of place sometimes, and not as epic or emotional. Why not just remix the original 2002 soundtrack is beyond me (you had one job)

    7. Removed content/features/details. This includes: no way to ride trolly or subway. Essentially no “Garage”. Just “select your car” type of thing. You can’t park your cars in backyard of Salieri’s bar and expect them to stay there. Less cars in game. Lucas Bertone missions are removed, you hardly interact with Ralphie (he doesnt teach you how to steal each car, making the car progression essentially non-existent). Weapon names are dumbed down (no Colt, no Smith and Vessons, just PISTOL, SHOTGUN etc.). When shooting in the car, Tommy shoots Through the freaking windshield instead of sticking his hand through the window like in the original.

    Dissapointed and sad.    … Expand

    Игра это огромный торт из г0BHa с маленькими вишенками в виде плюсов.

    Из плюсов можно выделить общий стиль, приятную цветовую гамму, звук и музыку и которое раскрытие персонажей.
    На этом всё!

    16 часов неспешного прохождения на сложности "классик" и всё, конец. Это даже меньше, чем в каких-нибудь посредственных платформерах. А как вы думаете почему так мало? Потому что вместо добавления миссий, разнообразия геймплея, рукo|||oпы из Ангара решили просто вырезать целые куски сюжета, перемолоть и свалить его остатки в кучу.
    Сложные миссии превратились просто в добанутые (гонки, склад с Морелло).

    Томми теперь не обычный таксист, который колеблется в своих решениях, а он простой гопарь, который хочет крови и легких денег. Как в принципе Поли и Сэм, дела которых оставались в тени, а сейчас их показали мерзкими тварями, которые по приказу Дона отнимут последние деньги у любого человека или же отнимут его жизнь.
    Возможно подобный подход неплох, он лишает романтического образа, той самой Мафии 2002, показывая истинное лицо этой преступной ячейки.
    Но в плане сюжета это ставит крест на сочувствии любому из героев.

    Так забавляют петушки, которые разводили своё ко-ко-ко, говоря, что Мафия 3 это помойка, а сейчас эти же люди кукарекают какой шедевр выдали Ангар 13. Какие же грёбанные лицемеры.

    Короче, не буду дальше бомбить, касаемо игры - это дно! Не покупайте это даже на распродажах. Цена этому "шедевру" 2 бакса.

    P.S. кстати, если в оригинале было название Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven и город по суди был одним из главных персонажей. Именно по этому все миссии были прописаны так, что ты хорошо помнил каждый район. То здесь город вообще никакой. Разрабам было лень делать метро и трамваи, ничем из этого вы не можете воспользоваться. На заправке нет людей. А от Луки Бертоне, вы получите 5 фоток с автомобилями и пожеланием самим их найти. Во всём чувствуется экономия и мерзкая меркантильность.    … Expand

The graphics are okay, the cinematic music just feels massively out of place with what is going on, I already had a big sound bug, where the whole game would be dead silent, beyond walking noises, once I had to restart the game, because the transition from one mission to another didn't trigger a necessary cutscene and the writing on the other hand doesn't click for me either, I don't care for the characters, they are very, very dull. the open world is just colorful collage in the background while driving from target to target. Even Mafia 2 was chapter-orientated, but at least you could roam in the city, buy clothes etc. The possibilities weren't much back then, but here they are non-existent, I don't consider this an open world game. You don't even get money. The excuse, that it weren't like that in the first game, is non valid, since this is what I would have expected from a remake. Lost Heaven is well made, so it's a shame, I will never take a closer look at it. And don't you even start with this exploring mode - If they failed to incorporate it in their main story mode, I will not drive around aimlessly for the sake of it. The close combat is an absolute joke, button smashing and waiting for your triangle cue, like seriously? That is 2005 kind of stuff. This game is in all technical regards a huge step down and feels more clunky than mafia 3, I seriously can not fathom, that this is supposed to be an 'advanced' version of mafia 3, this is Mafia 3's gameplay after you drove it to a wall and patched the worst damage up , and this bothers me extremely, since this was Hanger 13's last chance to turn things around, after they've ruined Mafia 3 and had the audacity to release a total lackluster remaster of part 2. Maybe I'm a little hard on it, because I was pissed of about Mafia 3 so much and because I hoped that Hangar 13 would finally get their **** together and knock it out of the park. But this really isn't it. The mission design is decades old, boring, frustrating, I'm actually bored senseless playing this game. I guess I will eventually finish it, but this was beyond a doubt the final nail in the coffin for Hanger 13.

    There nothing but a bunch of shortcuts-taking, half-assing dabblers.    … Expand

    As any game in the current industry and in 100% cases for remakes, this is a squished simplified trash , cause there was no people who worked on this to make game great. I bet nobody in the studio played the original game. Mario is harder and more interesting game than this. Guess why , cause people who made it ,cared about it, This remake era we are currently in kills the industry.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The original mafia is my first game. It gave me a range of emotions that I have never experienced anywhere else.
    I was really looking forward to the remake. I believed in him to the last, but he didn't live up to my expectations. Yes, the graphics are better, but otherwise it's something terrible. I got used to changing the music, gameplay features, and many other things, but the ending. You shouldn't have done that. In the original, I was crying at the very end. The remake did not cause any emotions. This is a failure. No one could ruin the game like that.
    Original text:
    Оригинальная мафия - моя первая игра. Именно она подарила мне тот спектр эмоций, который я больше нигде не испытывал.
    Я очень сильно ждал ремейка. Я верил в него до последнего, но он не оправдал моих ожиданий. Да, графика похорошела, но в остальном это что-то ужасное. Я смерился с изменением музыки, геймплейными особенностями и многими другими вещами, но концовка. Так нельзя было делать. В оригинале в самом конце я плакал. Ремейк не вызвал никаких эмоций. Это провал. Так испортить игру не мог никто.    … Expand

    Баги, глюки и прочие прелести Mafia 3...
    Это же надо было постараться что бы игра 2020 была технически хуже чем игра из 2002! Просто взяли кусок говна из 2016 и запихнули в другую обертку, а ведь геЙмеры схавали!    Скрипты, Скрипты, Скрипты, Скрипты...

    One of the best-loved games on PS2 gets a pitch-perfect remake. Thick with atmosphere, Mafia: Definitive Edition just about manages to mask over any agerelated decrepitude. [Issue#181, p.91]

    Mafia: Definitive Edition's narrative and visual strengths help it overcome issues in other areas to deliver a worthy remake of the best game in the series.

    Mafia: Definitive Edition manages to place a great gangster adventure among the great titles of its genre by the end of this generation of consoles due to the excellent renovation of its graphic and sound section.
