    Incredible overhaul. Music, dialogue, graphics, the world of Lost Heaven. I loved every minute of this game and made an account here just to give a good review.

    Одна из лучших игр 2020 года в плане истории, атмосферы, персонажей и концентрации сюжета. Строго рекомендую всем, кто совсем не знаком с мафией - это прекрасное начало. Очень хорошая картинка, история выше всяких похвал, физика машин прекрасная, особенно на симуляторе.

    As a huge fan of the original I must say that Mafia: Definitive Edition is a great remake that sometimes is even better than the original. The charm, the story and the atmosphere are all carefully recreated. The game is definitely worth buying for those who didn’t play the original or wants to refresh their experience.

    This is how a definitive Edition should be made. 10/10 for this. Beautiful graphics, gameplay, story and had a great team working on it passionate about their craft.

    This is truly a remaster. The Performance on PS4/Pro is really bad, the gameplay often lags, but almost great visuals. The open world city is really nice crafted and all scenes has a lot of details. Hopefully we got a PS5 patch for this remaster.

    I never played the original so I didn't go into the game with any expectations. Most of the game is comprised of driving around or listening to cutscenes.

The main character Tommy is almost laughably one dimensional. His only line is "yes boss". His transition from cabbie to sociopathic mass murderer is also very abrupt and jarring. The gunplay is the worst out of everything previously mentioned. The fights are boring and repetitive. You always end up scrounging for ammo, or have to retry a level many times because there is very limited healing options.… Expand

    I can't believe that this game was released in 2020. Worst level design with downgrades from the 2002 Mafia game. Worst shooting mechanics and empty open world. No freedom, no lovable characters, no good voice acting, nothing is good about the game. If you're a human please don't buy this game

    I believe the devs should have gone less GTA/driving/open-world and more gameplay/story. Not that the driving in the city was bad or the cars didn't look amazing, but the AI behavior and the gameplay were not on par with the look of the game. I think It would have been a more original and more Mafia had they gone the other way.
    Story-wise, the game wasn't anything special. I haven't played the classic Mafia and don't know if they have followed the same story-line or not, but it felt like a filler for the game, just setting to make progress in gorgeous-looking city.

    P.S.
    The infamous driving level is back here, I don't know if it is an homage to the original game or just a sadistic trick, but to me, it felt like an unnecessary and odd challenge. specially on the classic difficulty.    … Expand

    Игра хуже регионала. Тупые противники, тупые полицейские. Куча багов и неправдоподобной хрени. Лучше поиграйте в оригинал, даже в 2021 он играется и ощущается лучше.

    I love playing this game on Classic difficulty. It reminds me these good old days. I wish every Remaster will be made so good as this one.
    I recommend Ps.
    I give 9 only because there is one thing that deserves a 10:
    It is the Witcher Trilogy.

    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.

    As a Czech dude who played the original numerous time and pretty much grew up on it, this remaster put a smile on my face.

    Such an awful game. The original was a classic and this remake does nothing but tarnish that reputation. Sure the graphics are decent but all of what made the game special is gone. Avoid this at all costs if you're a fan of the first Mafia. If you thought 3 was good you may like this

    Game looks nice, story is okay but gets boring, gameplay is fine but nothing special.
    Honestly though, the biggest issue for me are the bugs, this game is filled with bugs, its crazy!
    I would've never expect that from a game that looks like this and bears the title of "Mafia" and remake.

    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.

    I can not find any info on further planned patches, and their official website has no dates on any of it's articles.

    Seems like shady tactic, to get old mafia fans like myself in to buy the game.

    Somewhere they did it well, but many missions were changed completely especially some of my favourites like "just for relaxation" and "lucky bastard" and I don't understand what was the reason to change Tom's character, he looks like a badass gangster now which is opposite to what he used to be in the original, just a good man who happened to be in the wrong place.

    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]
