The narrative and refined graphics are definitely the highlights of the game. I found myself really immersed into the 1930s setting and found the whole mobster gang theme to be quite cool and a reflection of american culture at that point in time. The linearity of the game actually brings out the best in it because i was afraid of just doing fetch quests and meaningless side missions, so to have a direct approach and storyline felt great to follow. Combat with various guns was alright, the enemies really like to shoot you JUST when you get into cover, so when you are low on health this can be highly annoying. But nothing too offensive about the game, i seriously enjoyed this game alot.

    Short but solid game. There are no sidequests so, unless you are wasting your time it should take you about 12 houres to beat the game or so. From the middle to the end it's easy to die or fail a mission a couple or 3 times in normal mode. I ended up changing to easy in the last chapters. Maybe if you play in easy mode can take 10 hours.

    This remake strikes a balance between honoring the original game and introducing modern improvements. While it doesn't surpass the original, it offers enjoyable pacing and stunning visuals. The gameplay flows seamlessly, and the graphics, despite lacking RTX, are impressive. It's a solid entry in the franchise, appealing to both nostalgic fans and newcomers.

    The picture is very juicy, a lot of small details, beautiful sky, reflections on cars, etc. The story has not changed much, only new dialogues have been added. Missions have been reworked a lot and feel better. However, shooting spoils everything. It is very inconvenient to aim, not very pleasant to shoot, the thompson is just some kind of joke.

    Es el primer juego de Mafia que juego, es muy bueno, me ha sorprendido

    En comparación con Mafia, este Remake ha cumplido perfectamente, los gráficos han mejorado mucho, sistema de cobertura, entre muchas otras mejoras. El juego tiene algunos bugs, pero no entorpecen la experiencia. Mejoras en cinemáticas, tiroteos, han convertido el juego de hace 20 años en uno prácticamente nuevo.

    Mejoras en cinemáticas, tiroteos, han convertido el juego de hace 20 años en uno prácticamente nuevo.

    Es una aventura de acción lineal, con una historia atrapante, buena conducción, tiroteos, cuerpo a cuerpo, sigilo, un mapa muy bien elaborado. Es muy realista, lo que provoca una gran inmersión en el juego.

    La duración es en mi opinión perfecta, unas 10-15 horas.

    Si no has jugado mafia es una buena oportunidad para jugarlo con mejores gráficos entre otras mejoras, y si ya lo has jugado es buen momento de revivirlo, lleno de nostalgia, porque la historia es la misma, aunque agregando diálogos para profundizar en la historia.

    No voy a hacer spoilers sobre la historia, os puedo asegurar que es muy buena, te sentirás todo un mafioso como su nombre indica.

    En conclusión juegazo, totalmente recomendado.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Esse jogo é uma aula de como fazer uma edição definitiva. Não só na parte dos gráficos e sim a mudança de direção em certas partes, como a câmera do jogo que melhorou bastante em comparação ao primeiro jogo e certas cenas do jogo que deixaram os momentos mais épicos ou surpreendentes, as expressões faciais são maravilhosas, pois você consegue ver a tristeza, raiva, felicidades dos personagens, um bom exemplo disso e no final do jogo, onde Tommy no jogo original ficou surpreso com a chegada dos capangas com uma arma, no remake, o Tommy pelo seu rosto, já sabia que isso iria acontecer algum dia e aceitou.
    Meu únicos problemas com esse jogo são os controles e alguns bugs de textura, modelos, etc. O controle dos carros e o controle de mira não são muito satisfatórios, como por exemplo GTA V que tem controles muito gostosinhos de se jogar, o dos carros eu consigo até passar um pano pois o jogo se passava na época da depressão economica dos Estados Unidos e os veículos daquela época não eram tão simples de se dirigir, mas mesmo assim é difícil de dirigir pela primeira vez, principalmente quando você chegar na missão da corrida (eu tiver que fazer mais de 10 resets). Não é uma coisa que estraga, é mais uma coisa que você se acostumar com o passar da gameplay. Em questão dos bugs, os bugs que mais apareceram na minha gameplay, são mais bugs dos modelos e texturas, como por exemplo: o mapa do jogo parecer um jogo de Playstation 2 do nada (problema de renderização do mapa) personagens ficando invisíveis, personagens olhando para a parede, etc. Mas foram poucos bugs que me apareceram durante minha gameplay.
    A história é a mesma do jogo original, só com algumas diferenças, excluindo certas coisas que tinha que fazer nas missões originais do Game, e adicionando coisas novas, como por exemplo que tenho que elogiar, partes do jogo com um sistema de stealth, como por exemplo a parte que a gente vai no aeroporto pela primeira vez, no jogo original era um tiroteio, no remake você pode completar o capítulo sem ser detectado.
    É um jogo muito bom mas recomendo comprar principalmente numa promoção ou pagando uma assinatura de streaming (Playstation Plus Extra ou Deluxe, Xbox Gamepass, etc).

    A remarkable upgrade to an already classic game. A throw back to when games had no filler and were a thrill ride from start to finish. A gripping story that still holds up today. Well worth playing for fans of old or someone looking to try something new. The gameplay isn’t groundbreaking but the story is compelling enough to carry this game on its own.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (9) Superb. Just shy of gaming nirvana, this score is a high recommendation because the game reviewed is head-and-shoulders above its competition.

    This is definitely a good example of a remake done right. Everything has been improved compared to the older version of the game. I had a good time playing this game. The only draw back for me goes towards the story jumps, where I don’t think the director did a good job at explaining what happened during in between these jumps throughout the game so the player is trying to relearn what’s going on, on the fly.

If you are looking to buy this game or wanting to see what it's all about, play this game. Please play this game I beg you. It's too underated to be such a good game. When driving around and listening to the radio you feel as if you are really there. The graphics are amazing and the gameplay is so fun it never got boring. The enviroments are incredibly detailed.

I do have two complaints. Some of the chapters are extremely tough to slug through because of the lack of checkpoints. You can go a long way fighting through layer after layer of police or gangsters only to have to start all over again should you get killed. Escaping from the prison and hotel are two examples. I found myself thinking, "I'm never going to get out of here," afte biting the dust for the fifteenth time. And I'm too embarassed to tell you how long it took me to shoot down that plane. Next, for a gangster game, there's an obvious absence of female characters. Tommy Angelo has one, but none of the other guys have girlfriends. No wonder they're so lonely. There's a compelling sequence where Tommy has to find a prostitute named Michelle in the hotel. It's dramatic and Michelle is plenty hot, but that's it. Twenty chapters and there's nobody home in the female department. Still, I found a lot to like about the game, especially the main character. Expand

    I also liked the shooting sections and the driving Physics of the old timers that somehow felt like GTAIV.
    The story is really good describing with a serious tone the rise of a former cabby in a 1930 mob's family in the fictitious city of Lost Heaven. All the clichés you can expect from
    a mob film are present and all of them work with well written dialogs spoken with dead eyes inside cigarette smoke clouds.
    A thing to point out is that Mafia is NOT a sandbox, it's a story driven third person shooter with driving sections inside a carefully crafted 1930's big city. You can drive inside missions but the city
    is not an open sandbox city, instead you can access it via free roam on the menu to collect the very interesting real pulp magazine while enjoying the radio stations. I would recommend to limit the HUD to the minimum via settings to have a more "realistic" feeling without the icons on the screen.
    The difficulty level by default is quite easy and the classic level it's much more enjoyable, although the infamous race will make you sweat and swear a lot.
    If you like this rare noir/mob games (L.A Noir, the Saboteur, Blacksad, etc), mafia definitive it's a must play.

    An epic game. Period. The game has characters that you can actually be interested in, a beautiful and lived-in open world, and decent gameplay. The only complaints I have are having more things to do in the free roam mode and I wished the game was a bit longer.

    Sparatorie divertenti e ben congegnate con una sensazione dell'arma realistica, un po' meno realistica è l'intelligenza artificiale dei nemici molto aggressivi e poco intelligenti, a compensare c'è la loro ottima mira.
    Il combattimento corpo a corpo è macchinoso e ripetitivo rimpiangerete i combattimenti alla mafia II.
    Difficoltà a caricare le texture di gioco e calo di frame rate quando si gira la visuale in guida velocemente.
    Ottima trama nel complesso ma avrei gradito un po' più di accortezza nel comparto tecnico.

    I devoured the game in just a weekend. Let me start by saying that it is not by chance that this game was just nominated at the 2020 Steam Awards as a game with « an exceptional story » (among four other games).

    The story is extremely well-constructed. Characters, development of the story, the setting. All these elements are perfectly mastered. I am not elaborating on what the story contains, because I don’t want to spoil anything nor say what others have already summarized, but it is basically at the level of the best mafia movies. Fans of movies like The Godfather or Donnie Brasco to quote a couple will be delighted!

    This game doesn’t function like Mafia III. That has its advantages, but also its flaws. It works with separate chapters, 20 in total, each being a mission. This means that the game is not totally free-roam. The game lays on an open map, but you are not going to drive home/to your boss after every mission. You won’t either face any secondary missions or side-content to do between each main mission. Each time after a mission finishes, you get a cutscene followed by a loading, and then the next chapter starts. Working that way, the story builds magnificently up and remains very intense. Each chapter makes you play an important event of Tommy’s mob life, starting from the very beginning, and you never have time to get bored. This is maybe why some would say that this game is short. And indeed, it is. I would be lying if I said it takes more than 10-12 hours to finish. I would also be lying if I said I would not like the game to be longer. But at the same time, it is not necessarily a bad thing since I wasn’t bored for one minute.

    That being said, I have to admit that at least some side-content would have been warmly welcomed. At one condition though, and that is that I don’t want side-content the way Mafia III does it. For those who don’t know what I mean, I mean a map divided into multiple zones where each zone includes 5 to 10 camps to clean out. Always the same all over again for tenths of hours with few to zero story elements attached. That mistake hasn’t been repeated in Mafia’s remake, and I prefer it this way.

    If one day, however, a Mafia game with INTERESTING and varied side-content releases, it might be even better than the latter two if it manages to add value to the story without unnecessarily/annoyingly slowing it down. That would basically mean adopting a GTA IV style, which to me is one of the best games of all time. That’s it for the structure of the game.

    Technically speaking, this remake is impressive but not perfect. The game is a pleasure for the eyes. The city of 1930s Lost Heaven is well-designed, and light and reflections are staggering, especially considering the fact I played the game on a 2013 PS4. Same applies for the design of the cars. The game is equal to Mafia III for this. Cars, city, radio stations. Everything is made to give the player an as immersive experience as possible, thanks to both the atmosphere of the environment, and the high detail of its quality (visual, sound, animations, car handling, etc). Unfortunately, achieving masterpieces on old hardware came at the cost of a lot of graphical bugs, freezes and framerate drops. More than in Mafia III.

    For what comes to the gameplay, it is simple, but works well. It basically consists of shooting, driving, fighting and stealth gameplay. Animations and fluidity of movements of Tommy are good, despite being inferior to what RDR2 can do. There are not many different guns, but overall it is sufficient for what the game has to offer (gameplay’s depth thus matches the game’s length). Sometimes, I felt annoyed by having to gun down 50 men on my own, but apart from that I didn’t complain of what the game has to offer. The cutscenes are brilliant and for those who, like me, like such games with long cutscenes if they are well-orchestrated, it is « tant mieux » because it helps lighten the repetition I was mentioning.

    I’m concluding this review on a positive note because because it’s what the game deserves. Superb story, very good setting, great technique and simple yet effective gameplay are what make this game extremely worth it for its price tag (40€ launch, easily findable for 20-30€ a few weeks after).

    Fantastic game. One of the best I have ever played. Amazing ambience allows you to feel the story. The plot remained, of course, unchanged and still arouses extraordinary emotions with the next actions of the antagonists. The difficulty of the levels is still high but more adapted to new players. In my opinion best remake in this year and one of the best in history of games

    Loved the game. It has a great story. It's not an open world game as we know them today as it's realesed quiet a while back, so I think the amount of content is ok (it's unfair to compare it with e.g. an Ubisoft open world). It's a game with a big focus on the story and that story is damn good!

I never played the original but now I know I missed out big time! The story had me hooked from the beginning watching a cab driver make his way up the ranks to his downfall and watching as his “Family” falls apart. The only problem I had with this game overall was the driving and gun play, it feels like they took both from Mafia 3 which I wasn’t a big fan of, but I did start to grow on it towards the end. If you are looking for a good crime tale definitely give this one a chance! Expand
