    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.

    Mafia is in my top 5 games of 2020. Story is so well written and executed and I never got tired of the game Play loop, weirdly enough

    Masterpiece. Great story, characters and graphics. The remaster is really well made, not like Mafia 2, only 2-3 glitches and one blue screen for 10 hours.

    A great Remake that honors the original. Hangar 13 proved they can deliver quality. Great gameplay, Sound and graphics. I even had fun with the race Mission.

    Worst game ever, they should just give us a remake of the second one which in my opinion is the best one.

    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.

    The mediocre critic reviews seem to forget that this was never meant to be a new game. It was a reimagining of an old one. And for that, it does it perfectly.

    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.    … Expand

    Получилось хорошо, но не идеально. Не критичные баги и приятная картинка. Не очень доволен новыми характерами персонажей и их мотивацией, но играется отлично. Определенно стоит своих денег, атмосфера шикарная.

    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    … Expand
