    Mafia: Definitive Edition plays on both nostalgia and disappointment, and this is the experience you'd rather like to avoid.

    I liked the first Mafia, with all of its flaws, with the great story, big city, the 30s. I even liked the damned race! But it was in the early 2000s, so I was astonished by this game. The remake still tells you a good story. Still, it ruins the whole experience with the cheap gameplay, terrible driving model, repetitive missions (drive - kill some guys - return, repeat), and impressive but dead city.
    The gameplay feels very cheap. The character movement is annoying (it's like you are playing a clay soldier instead of a human), shooting is very 2009 - hide behind something, shoot some guys, go forward, repeat until you reach some point. Driving is not the experience you want to have in this game. I know the cars are from the 30s, but you are always riding a tank on the ice whenever car you are using. Always.
    The open city is dead. There's no reason to do anything there. You can't use the tram, buildings are locked, people are somehow retarded, and walk the scripted ways. Sure, you have collectibles, but looking after magazines in the dead city is nothing you would like to do anyway, trust me.
    Bugs, bugs, bugs. The game is buggy. The textures are loading in front of you. The graphic is really "shaky". And the worst thing is that everything is scripted to the point that the police car can stop in one place during the mission and disappear while the other will arrive.
    I can't understand why this game got so many good reviews from the magazines and gaming portals.

    Pros:
    Story
    Great presentation of the 1930s
    Characters
    Cutscenes
    Cons:
    Boring, monotonous, very cheap
    Car ride
    Bugs!
    Graphic that is not optimized well
    Dead city
    Technological mess, full of glitches and poor performance
    Framedrops

    A dignified tribute to the original game. The only minus is the classic difficulty, which is not very identical to the original and is quite unbalanced and sometimes furrowing.

    Extremely disappointing. The gameplay is like mafia 3 but way worse, it's as if part 3 came out after this one, the mission design is way too over the top for my taste, my suspense of disbelief is all over the place ('Take in mind, Thomas is no trained soldier', yet he whacks 40+ people in one mission, come on), I loved Mafia 3 for it's gunplay at least, the gunplay just sucks in thisExtremely disappointing.

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

    The programming and mechanics are absolutely horrible. "Definitive edition?" More like "Debug edition."

    On "normal" mode this game is so difficult that it's more or less impossible. The HUD doesn't show enemies that are near you (bug), the "auto aim" is inaccurate at best, and the player is still magically able to get hit when crouched behind stuff by invisible enemies. Dying quickly is commonplace and then you're rewarded with a nice long wait screen to get back to the action (inefficiency).

    The story is good. Graphics are decent for when it was made. Sound and voice are decent. Game is a bit on rails and the missions are somewhat repetitive feeling. But it's the programming that really ruins the playability of the game and makes this a low score for me. It's as if nobody play-tested this thing. It's frustrating and annoying.

    If the game is $4.99 USD or less, it's probably a good value. But anything above that is a waste of money unless you enjoy furiously unfair game play.    … 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

    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...

And what to do in free roaming, for which it is generally assigned in this form - remove it from the menu and determine the significance of this game, as in reality, its name deserves nothing more than a LINEAR GAME MOVIE.    … Expand

    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.

    In general, I believe that the developers of M-DE wanted to release a sequel to MAFIA III but realizing that they can not compete with the same Rockstar, the plot will not pull. They just took her engine and pulled all the old personalities on the new skeletons, this line DEFINITIVE EDITION, will not give you anything but the aftertaste of deception.

    I sincerely expected that we will be given a deeper plot with a lot of secondary and side missions to create a non-linear, non-tunnel passage, a big city in full access to everything. Instead, we were given a company for half a day, with notes on each location that seemed to bring the atmosphere.

    Postscript:
    rereading, I again looked at the video and screenshots of the game in the store and realized that it is a complete deception and divorce ... the game doesn't look the way it's presented at all. We've been cut.    … Expand

    OMG... It's a mockery of the original game. H13 You are just clowns and buffoons! There is no soul in this game! This game is a blank piece of paper for fools...

    Having passed the game completely, I see that this is a false attempt to copy the original and give less than in that distant 2002 original.
    Chapter 15 (You lucky bastard) is botched entirely. Every single story change in that chapter is for the worse.
    This is another not successful game Hangar13

    Ужасная графика, мыло мыльное. Геймплей скучный, тир со стрельбой из-за угла, никакой отдачи оружия. Автомобили словно утюги. Персонажа ужасные, катсцены невозможно смотреть. Ужасный ремейк.

    Игра хуже регионала. Тупые противники, тупые полицейские. Куча багов и неправдоподобной хрени. Лучше поиграйте в оригинал, даже в 2021 он играется и ощущается лучше.
    Прошёл на пс5, куча глюков и играть не интересно

    Games is 4.5/5 in my oppinion. Unskippable credits are so annoying that I give only 3 stars (grow up - if I want/need to check credit I will do so if I choose)

    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.
