    Masterpiece.
    I love original game. And now I love remake. "Classic" difficult are awesome. Story, gameplay, world - it's awesome.
    Mafia Definitive Edition - my GOTY2020 and game of generation(Witcher 3 & God Of War too).

    Game is great. Bought it when released. That's sad that so many toxic "gamers" ruined it's user score.
    This can't be the same game like the original one. 20 years passed.

    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.

    It’s amazing game. Must for any mafia 1 fan and every fan of good games.

    Only thing I didn’t like is some dumbed down things for more casual players and the fact extreme ride only has 5 cars in comparison to 19 in original.

    В далеком 2002 году я был тем парнем в классе, которого все звали к себе, чтобы пройти эту невыносимо сложную гонку. И вот спустя почти 20 лет, я снова и снова, попытка за попыткой наконец-то прохожу ее в "классическом режиме" сложности.

    Этим летом, листая ленту новостей, я вдруг увидел пост с анонсом римейка мафии и меня конечно же охватила сильная ностальгия, предвкушение и одновременно тревога за то, каким в итоге выйдет игра. А вышла игра — изумительной. Разработчики очень бережно доработали все неровности сценария, воссоздали невероятно харизматичных глубоких персонажей, которым так же сопереживаешь, как низкополигональным моделькам из оригинала. Классно доработаны миссии и конечно же сам гемплей.

    Дизайн города, машин, персонажей — восторг! Конечно же на старенькой плойке все это поджали в угоду оптимизации, но это никак не мешает восприятию. На мой взгляд, слабое место этой игры — стрельба. Возможно стрелять с геймпада не так комфортно как с мыши, но в целом перестрелки ощущаются как-то "картонно". Пожалуй это единственный минус, но камон, а в оригинале разве было как-то по другому (вспомнить нереальную отдачу Томми, если зажать из него спрей).

    Думаю, что игра понравится каждому в той или иной степени и попробовать ее должен каждый.

    Take notes every developer out there, this is how a remake SHOULD BE! They worked so hard and truly did remake Mafia from the ground up. It is truly one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever played. Definitely in the top 5 when it comes to graphics. Story is also amazing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played the original mafia some months ago, and by playing the remake I can just say that its great. The way ut feels, the atmosphere, cars, and story are just fantastic. I really weren't expected a good remake from Hangar 13, after mafia 3 and its unoriginal story, but now i see they made a hard work to not to disappoint gamers. Yeah I've seen a lot of people critisising mafia because its more casual than the original one, or people saying that they are quitting game because of that race, I've seen people critisizing the remake for its story changes and etc.. but lets be more rational, compared to new pay to win or 1000 hours online games, or left wing propagandistic games, and games without any esthetic sense, mafia remake is just fantastic. The gameplay, and by this i mean shootings, driving and etc... doesn' make you be bored. Story changes are logical and make story more inteeesting. Saras romance is now more clear, and because of new graphics, the game is looking more cinematic and more dramatic. I love this game, especially when I've seen the updated ending, that's looking more emotional. The games is really great, and after I ended the orginal one, I can truly say that people saying that the original is way beter, I surely just missing the good old games, but the gaming industry is changing. I also miss the good old days of ps2, but i admit the fact that like any other media branch, gaming is in cinstant developpement. Mafia definitive edition ans RE 2 remake are by far my favourite remakes, an mafia definiive edition truly deserves a nomination at game awards. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finally, the remake of the original Mafia is here. A game I have been waited for in over a decade. Now before I begin to talk about the much anticipated remake. Normally i would not give the score 10 if the game is not a 10. And as a standalone game it is not a 10. It is probably is an 8 or lower. But this story is quite special to me, which I will mention in the last parts of this review. Unfortunately there are some negatives I have to mention.
    The remake uses the engine from Mafia 3. It fits Mafia 3 but not this Remake, but I actually think the gameplay in the remake is worse. Enemies needs to be shot 4 or 5 times to be killed, and when you shoot them, they just stay and keep shooting towards you like nothing have happened. The wounds on the dead bodies are also quite ugly and don’t fit. Also when you are in melee combat, when knocking somebody out, blood is surrounding the bodies, just like if you had shot them. That is an annoying detail. However the blood looks realistic, it is just annoying when used incorrect. So the weakest part of the game is the gun battle.
    The loading screens when you die are really painful, especially if you die quickly multiple times in a row. That means you watch more loading screens than playing the game.
    The last negative thing I want to mention, which I don’t know if it’s a negative, is the characters new personalities. I am split on this one. Because I think the voices in the original game fits the characters more, than the new ones. Example is Sam. In the original he sounded like a loyal and made man. Now he is more like a boy trying to prove himself. The same with Paulie, in the original he sounded more brutal and serious. Now he is more of a laughing stock that nobody likes. But I think the more I progressed the game, I found the new personalities acceptable. Including Tommy, who was the most serious and brutal character in the beginning of the game, which he wasn’t in the original. I think it is because of his voice actor. It is similar to Paulie’s voice actor in the original where he was brutal and serious. But in the end Tommy stood to me as a caring husband and father.
    One thing that made me love the new remake was the locations taking place in the missions. I know them all from the original, but now they are all updated and made different, which also make the game quite unpredictable.
    Speaking of new things/changes in the remake, there is a lot of interesting ones. From here on out there are spoilers.
    One thing is the updated locations, but the story is also updated with some twists. There are 3 examples where the story either has changed or teases you.
    When Tommy gets tasked to kill Michelle, it is Tommy’s decision to not kill her in the original. In the remake it is Sam who begs you not to do it. This is the first twist in the remake, which made me think if the ending also changed (In the original it is a theme that Tommy can’t kill his allies). Also this moment made Sam look different as written before about the personalities.
    When Tommy, Paulie and Sam get tasked to pick up cigar crates, Tommy questions the priority of picking up these crates. It sounds too easy. In the original it is only acknowledge the crates contains cigars. Afterwards the crew found out these crates also contains diamonds. Salieri didn’t tell them. However in the remake the game teases you, because Salieri now tell the crates also contains the diamonds. Here I was quite excited how the game now should develop because it changed the original narrative.
    And then there is the dialogue between Tommy and Sarah in the last mission. Tommy is nervous because he is about to go visit Paulie. I don’t know if it was intended by the developers, but I was nervous too, because I knew what will happen when opening Paulies door. The dialogue of course teasing what was about to happen.
    To sum this up, I know there is a lot of talk about different things. I know reading this review doesn’t sound like a 10. For the most part I have focused on the negative things. But the mafia series means a lot me. The original Mafia game means a lot to me. I played it as a kid, and it was THE game that introduced me to how games tell a great story. So I have seen the game a lot of times including the ending, and when this remake ending happened, this is real, I cried, I really cried. It just hit me. I found the whole story and characters fresh when the ending came which also had some new emotional epilogue scenes. And then it topped with the lyrics in the credits “Everybody wants to go to heaven”.
    I am sorry this review had a lot of negative instead of focusing on the good things, like driving, the graphics, music, and of course a fresh feel about the game. But my love for this story really is the focus on my score. It is a story that has followed me for years, and I am really grateful to experience this story again remade, and when a game makes you emotional like this, it deserves a 10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hodnotiť Remake tejto starej klasiky je dosť ťažké
    Aj keď Hangar 13 mali ešte tažšiu úlohu.... Vytvoriť ho
    Hneď na začiatku hry je pár väčší aj menších zmien
    Miesto Tommyho príde do baru detektív Norman a hneď na začiatku sa už podľa novín čo prinesie vie že zabiť Morella pôjde len jednou cestou...
    Postavy sú prepracované... Niektoré majú pozmenený charakter - Hlavne Tommy,Sam,Paulie,Sára a Salieri...
    Ale napríklad Ralph už nieje len obyčajný koktavý mechanik ktorý vám len raz začas dohodí auto
    Čo sa misií týka
    V prvej misií je síce nepriateľov viac... Ale je omnoho ľahšie im uniknúť než to bolo v originále...
    Všetky misie sú celkovo skvelé no ku koncu idú strašne rýchlo za sebou že sa ani nenazdáte a zrazu ste v galerií...
    Závod je na extrémnu obtiažnosť ♥♥♥♥ ťažký ale hra viacej odpúšťa takže napríklad sa nemusíte báť že po viacerých nárazoch vám odpadne koleso...
    Vzťah Tommyho a Sáry je rozšírený o nejaké detaily ale nejak veľký dopad to na hru nemá...
    Dosť veľkou zmenou si prešiel koniec hry...

    **A TERAZ POZOR SPOILER**

    Tommy už na konci nepôsobí vôbec prekvapene keď za ním prídu Vito a Joe ale vypadá že dobre vedel že ten deň raz príde tak na otázku ''Pan Angelo?'' odpovie ''Ano'' s kľudom pripravený čeliť svojmu osudu ktorému tak dlho utekal... Nakoniec zomiera v kruhu svojej rodiny s vedomím že jeho rodina je konečne v bezpečí

    **KONIEC SPOILERU**

    Hru som prešiel dokopy 3 krát
    Raz na Normál na PS4
    A dvakrát na Classic (1x PC a 1x PS4)
    (Obe verzie PC aj PS4 mám dokončené aj so všetkými achievementami)

    Záver

    Trochu som sa bál ako sa po Mafií 3 Hangar 13 popasuje s týmto Remakom a mal som trochu obavy aby to neskončilo fiaskom
    Ale na moje prekvapenie Remake sa Hangaru 13 dosť podaril... Zmeny či už menšie alebo väčšie Remaku dosť prospeli ... Hlavne to strieľanie ktoré už je v originále na dnešnú dobu zastaralé (ale zároveň to nové už nerobí z Mafie tak ťažkú hru ako si ju pamätáme)
    Aj keď mám už Remake dokončený 3 krát určite si ho dám niekedy znovu

    P.S. Český dabing je ♥♥♥♥ úžasný...

    Za mňa 10/10

    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

    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.

The story was excellent and highly impactful, it was an extremely rare gem in the video game industry during that time.

    This game is gorgeous, highly polished and it retains all the memorable missions from the first game. It's a no-brainer for the long-time fans of the series.

    And for those of you who haven't played the original game and have absolutely no idea about the plot: THIS IS A MUST-PLAY, BUY IT IMMEDIATELY!

El gameplay es un mas realista que el de mafia 3 ya q la vision tactica o como mierda se llame la quitaron y en mi opinion es un gameplay decente con una actitud enemiga realista. La historia y la cinematicas son lo mejor de este juego 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.

    Мои аплодисменты, Hangar 13. После, откровенно, плохой Mafia 3, вы смогли создать, не побоюсь этого слова, шедевр. Игра смогла удовлетворить как фанатов игры 2002 года, так и новых игроков, которые ещё не видели этот сюжет. Проиграв уже 5 часов, я без лишних мыслей ставлю 10. Игра легко может претендовать на игру года.Мои аплодисменты, Hangar 13. После, откровенно, плохой Mafia 3, вы смогли создать, не побоюсь этого слова, шедевр.

    After Mafia 3, I was nervous about the outcome of this game, hoping and praying that they don’t ruin a great game.

But Hanger 13 have shocked and wowed me, the game is outstanding, the graphics are sharp, detailed and beautiful, the audio effects in the game are mesmerising, the cars drive and toot just like the real ones, hearing the gears change and the engine struggle to climb a slope is just music to my ears. The radio stations are very well written and created, listing to a live baseball broadcast while on my way to a hit really brings out what life might have been like in the mob during the 1930s. The gameplay is smooth and works well, a big improvement from mafia 3, cover system and the weapons work very well and classic difficulty not only adds plenty of challenges but also adds a unique feel that is only found in mafia. The game is a fantastic remake of the original 2002 classic, probably the best remake ever, absolutely outstanding game and hanger 13 should be proud of their efforts. Highly recommended to pick this game up as soon as you can, and step back into the shoes of Tommy Angelo and relive his story. Expand

    In terms of its content, this is a rather modest game - apart from the main plot, there is practically nothing to do here, except to ride around the city in the "Walk" mode and look for collectibles. And every single element of the remake, whether it's graphics, shootouts or chases, lags slightly or seriously behind its competitors in the genre.

    But this "Mafia" justifies its means. All

    But this "Mafia" justifies its means. All of its pieces, put together, serve only one damn important task - again tell us the incredible story of Tommy Angelo in a new, convenient wrapper. For this, the game wants to give the highest rating and elevate to the top line of the best gangster games of all time.

    2 Things I cannot believe

    1. My childhood got a remake 2. People leaving negative reviews Every small thing they changed like dialogues and some mission parts was only to make the game richer, with more depth! All the dialogues are now more meaningful and real. I am playing the game on "Classic" difficulty, I don't know if it's harder than "Hard" difficulty, but it's challenging

    I am playing the game on "Classic" difficulty, I don't know if it's harder than "Hard" difficulty, but it's challenging and the driving is harder, with no aim assist AND I AM HAVING A BLAST.

    For me this an EXCELLENT REMAKE, I will put it on the same category as Shadow of the Colossus remake, very very good! Not regretting a single $.

    One of the best games I've played on PS4. Hands down the best of the three Definitive Editions with the most brilliant story and terrific visuals. Absolutely gorgeous city and a gripping storyline. If there is one thing that it could be improved upon, that would be adding free roaming - side missions and interactions with the city and its NPCs - otherwise, there is nothing to do

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.
