    It's a decent remake. Good job Hangar 13! Hoping this will have free next-gen enhanced upgrade. And let's hope they make Mafia 2 remake now.

    Am I the only how’s already making a walkthrough for the third time in row? This is a masterpiece! The best game ever about automobiles! The driving in story was not enough for me, the devs could keep the additional Luca Bertone car missions and some more from A to B rides.

    I absolutely loved this game. The story is so gripping and enjoyable from start to finish I genuinely felt for the characters around me and I'm not going to lie I definitely miss them already now that I've completed the game. Hanger 13 please make a Mafia 4 but please spend all the time needed to make it amazing

    the gunfight and combat were rushed during development and could be much better and while I like linear games more but the game is too linear for a franchise that is known for being open world. however the main missions and the story is great enough to cover all that problems    … Expand

    Amazing simply Amazing what a beautiful and heartbreaking experience truly one of the best mafia stories ever told. The game has a few bugs and glitchs, needs more polish hopefully everything will get patched soon. Thank you to the original team who made mafia and thank you hanger 13 for remaking mafia

    Mafia DE is a great example how a remake should look like.
    The graphical design is astonishing, cutscenes were redone perfectly, gameplay is smooth and the game got rid of tedious tasks (e.g. the train ride with Paulie, drive back to the bar). I absolutely loved the classic difficulty, the race took a lot out of me. It has some bugs though. I hope they're going to be fixed soon.

    1. Graphics - Amazing. I could not believe that this runs on my PS4. It looks a lot closer to a next-gen game than a current one. Apart of some screen tearing and framerate drops at times the graphics are flawless.

    2. Sound and cutscenes - Absolutely astonishing. From music to radios, from voice acting to motion capturing - absolutely beautiful!

    3. Gameplay - Faithful to the original. I played on Classic mode. The race was brutally difficult and some firefights were a big challenge. For Mafia 4 you just have to figure out the balance between open world and story like this. Shooting and some movement animations could be made better. Driving is perfect on simulation mode.

    Overall this game is a solid 8 out of 10. However, everybody seems to forget that it is not a full price game and at 40$ it is most defiantly a 9 out of 10. I missed some of the old writing in the ending though! Hope this game sells well and you guys make Mafia 4 - more like this than Mafia 3.    … Expand

    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!

    This is my first time playing this series and im so happy I started with this game. Amazing, on the edge of your seat action and story. The graphics are good and the cars are beautiful!.. Only issue was clunky gun play and some glitches but nothing to serious and the over use of the same face for the NPC'S.

    Honestly I don't think this will be good idea to make re-make for this old pc game 00s. I was in love for the first Mafia, because it was incredible indie game that looks and feels like Grand Theft Auto. Mafia was one of my favs because I was from East Europe. Everyone in my class play this game, it was phenomenal at 2002. I like how this game was re-created. Cutscenes looks great.

    The original Mafia is one of the first games I've ever played when my parents bought the first PC for our household. I remember playing this game and finishing it countless times and I never thought I would play a remastered version of it. It was a nostalgia trip to me. Loved every second of it!! Only thing they could have done better is if they made it more engaging in free play.

    An awesome experience. Don´t look for an open world game or an RPG, this game is mostly linear and short, but the story is amazing and has some of the best characters I´ve seen in a game. It has a few bugs here and ther but nothing to worry too much about. The gunplay it´s ok and the missions are fun altough sometimes a bit uninspired, but overall it was an outstanding game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This remake of Mafia 1 was probably one of the better story telling games of 2020. 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

    Mafia Definitive Edition is not just a change of graphics, it is a change of the whole game, some features are borrowed from Mafia 3, some characters are changed, but mafia remains mafia. Of course, some flaws flowed into the Definitive Edition, but they are so invisible that they do not affect the gameplay in any way.
    P.S. The plot was not touched

    As a fan of the mafia trilogy this remake is a breath of fresh air after the **** show that was mafia three. The game is tightly paced makes you definitely feel like you want more from the world.

That being said the game is not without its faults as of right now playing on the Xbox one version of a game there are bugs in the engine I’ve seen car spawn upside down, I’ve fallen through the map, and cut scenes don’t play the visuals only the audio. That being said it only happened to me ever once and can be quickly rectified by a low the last checkpoint.

    The original Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven is an absolute classic. Just like many players I was skeptical whether Hangar 13 would make a worthy remake, or that the game would be a sub-par cash grab. I am happy to say that they succeeded, by making subtle changes to the story, thus making it even better in my opinion, and by making the gameplay more modern.

My only real problem is that sometimes enemies don't get staggered when you shoot them, leading to cheap deaths on classic difficulty. The visuals are stunning, the music is even better than it was in the original, and the voice acting is great.

    It has a very good story but the gameplay needs some tweaking. That’s why I put it one point down, plus a special driving mission that I think everyone knows about.

    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.
