    It's a good game with an entertaining story, but If you have played the original and still remember details you will miss quite some stuff. It's good and if you are looking for something to play right now, buy it, but it's no 10.

    Amazing remake! Having lots of fun with this game so far. This game is much better than Mafia 3 much respect to Hangar 13 for stepping up on there new mafia game from taking there time on finishing this game. The visuals and the gameplay is amazing especially on PS4 pro. If you loved the original mafia your definitely gonna like this a lot better. Highly recommended game to play!

    Это однозначно 10 из 10! Давно уже не было игр, вызывающих столько эмоций и восхищения, начиная с дополненного сюжета, заканчивая красивейшей графикой с намеком на RTX. Ни в одной игре не видел такого отражения в лужах, даже в ведьмаке 3 и РДР2. Диалоги,постановка,атмосфера,автомобили-все высший класс!

    Remake is good, but that driving model and cheating AI in race are very frustrating. It's ruined my game experience. I heard it will be option to skip this race after few unsuccessful attempts but i didn't find it... Give me patch or my money...

What I loved about this game was the world and cars, the music on the two radio stations was also period accurate. What I didn't like about this game was the fact that the shooting mechanics could be clunky at times and it also didn't sit right that Tommy could just casually chuck grens and molotovs with ease. For those who want to get this game expecting a wide open world game like GTA or the upcoming Cyberpunk, sorry, no. This isn't the game for you. There is a free ride mode where you can explore the city at your leisure and try to find five hidden cars that are unlockable. For those who are still interested in getting this game, it is really enjoyable although some of the character voices do seem to be somewhat annoying (example, Paulie). Overall, I'd personally rate this game 78 out of 100 on my personal rating system. The Mafia Definitive Edition is neither great nor groundbreaking, but is a well made remake of the original game from 2002. If you are hesitant about this game, wait until it comes on sale. It is currently $40 in the US and $50 in Canada. Ultimately, it is up to you, the gamer whether you want to accept this offer or refuse this offer.… Expand

    Unfortunately, the game is just an empty shell of the original game. If this was released as a separate game, maybe I'd be an average game, but since it's a remake, I must rate it in comparsion with the original game from 2002. New version lacks depth, characters are made plain, there is no real story or character building. Game is just an arcade shooring with cutscenes.

    Original has many flaws, but the storytelling and immersion made me forgive the shortcoming, with the remake, it is the other way around. Unimportant things got improved, important ones got watered down.

    Maybe if I have not known original I would enjoy the game more, but I think I would still forget about story pretty fast, In comparsion it is not as memorable and there is definately much less attachment to it.

    From the technical side, I got stable FPS, game jsut was breaking down when I would minimalize it during the cutscene, hard restart was needed. But it was playable enough, not the worth thing around.    … Expand

    Mafia: Definitive Edition is the best remake of this year. There were a lot of doubts, fears, especially looking at Mafia 3. In principle, many were afraid of this. But what happened is beyond praise. Solid 10 out of 10. The work done by Hanger 13 is huge. Yes, of course, the plot was greatly altered, if you played the original it is very striking. But this story is also pretty good. AndMafia: Definitive Edition is the best remake of this year. There were a lot of doubts, fears, especially looking at Mafia 3.

With music, too, I wanted more of the original as it evokes a lot of pleasant memories, but the one that fits in quite well with the environment and is not bad in itself. And the atmosphere, it is simply incomparable! The way they recreated Lost Heaven is unbelievable. This is a beautiful city with a lot of drawn details. The only thing that was a little upset is that the narrative was greatly cut in terms of trips, and the mission was cut a little. Like with Morello's brother, Sergio. In vain. And the complexity, even at the classic level, still falls short of the original, especially in the race. But in General, the game is great. I do not regret the money spent, and Hanger 13 was rehabilitated in my eyes. Thank them for this masterpiece!… Expand

    Apart from graphics not feeling like new games do and sometimes somewhat strange dialogs, game keeps reminding me of Redemption 2. It's characters and missions are amazing and it is a must play for any type of gamer. It's a cult classic and even better than the original.

    Mafia Definitive Edition is a pretty good remake game, for a veteran gamer as myself that bought the original Mafia The City of The Lost Haven game back in 2003, and spend several hundred hours in that game. The story is really faithful to the original game, with several good changes like expanding existing content, and game lore, but there were several unnecessary changes like suddenMafia Definitive Edition is a pretty good remake game, for a veteran gamer as myself that bought the original Mafia The City of The Lost Haven game back in 2003, and spend several hundred hours in that game. The story is really faithful to the original game, with several good changes like expanding existing content, and game lore, but there were several unnecessary changes like sudden police chases after completing the main objective or giving the police armored car that you must destroy.

    Pluses:
    - Faithful story to the original,
    - Cutscenes,
    - Expanding the existing story
    - Graphics
    - Music,
    - Radio stations,
    - Police can finally chase for driving too fast, hurting civilians, or car accidents, like it was in the original game,
    - No more loading screens when you get to mission arena,
    - Good colection of cars from thirties of the twentieth century
    - Speed limit

    Minuses:
    - Shooting mechanics are clunky, and slow,
    - You cannot use public transport subway, or a tram,
    - some easter eggs are gone from the original like a Secret Cave that you could find in east hoboken,
    - NPC have unlimited ammo (one guy was shooting for 2 minutes in mission 8, in original game if he would run out of ammo and switched to melee)
    - 5 star police model from GTA series
    - some minor bugs like gun sound disappearing in mission 13

    Overall it's a pretty good game, but since it's a remake of a game that is for me 10/10, and it lacks some of the small details that the original had the score is lower. Hangar 13 have recovered in my eyes after the disaster that was a Mafia 3 in my opinion. If they decide to make another game about Don Peppone family I might be interested it.    … Expand

    Falls du das orginale Mafia 1 mochtest, wirst du auch dieses Spiel lieben. Im groben und ganzen sind die Spiele identisch. Die Story ist 1 zu 1 übernommen und meiner Meinung nach noch sinnvoll ergänzt. Die Schauplätze variieren etwas und die Missionen können etwas abweichen vom orginalen.

    Aber erwarte hier kein GTA. Es ist immer noch eine lineare Story, die in einer Open World spielt.

    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

    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]
