    Piece of **** remake, the graphics are the only think that looks decent but even the graphics have big issues such as lips synching.

In some cutscenes the characters seem totally out of sync with the voices. The animations are awful very 2002 looking it looks as if they changed only the textures and models. In terms of content you don't get only the original 20 missions with no side activities, it doesn't really feel like an open world game if they hold your hand every step of the way. The shooting and cover mechanics are again very outdated, every gunfight is clunky, the enemy AI is awful and I also experienced critical bugs more than 1 month after release. I tried to reload a checkpoint in mission 4 and I got pushed back 2 checkpoints, and the police was giving me a fine. After that I couldn't move. I had to delete save files manually in order to be able to continue. Some other time in the same mission I had to enter a motel to save a guy. As soon as I was out of stealth I started taking damage over time out of nowhere and I just died. The infamous banana race is still there and it is as bad as it ever was. I did it in the original game but I don't feel like spending one afternoon to keep trying until I get lucky. I don't know why they had to make it just as frustrating again (at least now you have to race only 3 laps and from what I remember in the original game you had to race 6 laps). If Mafia was your favourite game and you can overlook all the bugs and clunky stuff you can buy it but you just make sure you don't expect anything better than the original game (excepting the graphics).… Expand

    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.

    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!

    Game looks good. but the gameplay is stuck from the original version. Very boring and bareboned.
    Gun combat is terrible to put it mildly. Enemies can hit you easily from far off but you cannot hit them.
    Weapons are peashooters and aiming is a good-luck feature. Driving is crap as well, but then again the original was not any better. AI is dumb. I frequently had audio problem bugs.    Game looks good. but the gameplay is stuck from the original version. Very boring and bareboned.

    I frequently had audio problem bugs. It could just drop out totally or be muted in certain channels opting me to restart the whole game to bring it back.

    I really had high hopes for this but was mildly disappointed. I was hoping for better controls, better and added content to bring it up to 2020 standard. A complete overhaul.
    But this is just a polished work of the original.
    also it has been many years since i played the original, but i felt some things missing and left out.

    I really hope there will be a good mafia game made someday for modern gameplay.

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

    En comparación con Mafia, este Remake ha cumplido perfectamente, los gráficos han mejorado mucho, sistema de cobertura, entre muchas otras mejoras. El juego tiene algunos bugs, pero no entorpecen la experiencia.

    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.    … Expand

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

    It seems to me that the original game did not deserve this remake, the game is fun, but very linear for modern times, zero replayability, the missions do not bring anything new, and even remove some great things that the original had. If you haven't played the original, I would recommend it; but if you played and loved the original mafia, maybe you should expect the price to come down a bit.

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.

    The programming and mechanics are absolutely horrible. "Definitive edition?" More like "Debug edition."

    On "normal" mode this game is so difficult that it's more or less impossible. The HUD doesn't show enemies that are near you (bug), the "auto aim" is inaccurate at best, and the player is still magically able to get hit when crouched behind stuff by invisible enemies. Dying quickly is commonplace and then you're rewarded with a nice long wait screen to get back to the action (inefficiency).

    The story is good. Graphics are decent for when it was made. Sound and voice are decent. Game is a bit on rails and the missions are somewhat repetitive feeling. But it's the programming that really ruins the playability of the game and makes this a low score for me. It's as if nobody play-tested this thing. It's frustrating and annoying.

    If the game is $4.99 USD or less, it's probably a good value. But anything above that is a waste of money unless you enjoy furiously unfair game play.    … Expand

With all the over halls of let downs this year this is one of the games that exceeded my expectations. At a price only set for $40 this game really gives you a kick for your buck and shows what a sense of originality can do. If you love Mafia and haven't played this stop this reading this review and go out and buy it. It's totally worth it. It takes everything that the original game did and improves upon it. Now I know *Rahjee, Mafia originally came out in 2001, so of course it's going to be better in almost anyway* Yeah but there was a Remake from earlier this year that didn't to well and it was originally made in the 90's. So yeah not everything improves apart it's predecessor. In Mafia Definitive Edition you play as Tommy Angelo who starts off as just a Cabbie who rises through the Italian Mafia under Salieri becoming one of the most respected and feared gangsters in Lost Haven through the years of prohibition and the great depression facing off against the Morello crime Family. But when things goes south he turns to the Authorities to help him out of life or death situation to put the Don of his crew behind bars. There's really nothing to hate about the storyline. It's a mid paced, action packed adventure, that keeps you wanting more. From the presentation until the end it makes you feel nostalgic and engaged. The characters Salieri, Morello, Sam, Paulie, Frank and Sarah feel a lot more life like due to the voice acting, facial motion capture and remade visuals. The main character Tommy is more than just some mob character. Sure he's loyal to the family and he's a bad ass. But he's caring, respectful and is willing to do anything to protect his loved ones even if means putting himself in some serious **** **** As for missions I'm glad to see as far as I know they didn't cut anything (To my knowledge and added a few quite addition to each mission. Unlike what we seen from the massive disappointment from Mafia III. The Missions here have more variation. Every mission From Racing to going to a hotel to end someone with a hit or their head to sniping a Politian from an abandon prison there's always something different. The over all world Lost Haven is beautiful and feels refreshing to drive around. Although the world and free roaming doesn't feel completely dynamic, it's nice to see that citizens do simple things like keep up with current events. However it feels pretty dead at times. Another thing I wish they did would be to implement a few new features while free roaming. You have this beautifully crafted open world but there's not much to do but find cars and posters in free drive. Like seriously, they should make free roaming like Mafia 2. I understand that the original game didn't have this, but come on it's 2020. Add stores, side missions, activities, past times. I know this ain't GTA but damn make 2k Games make your open world worth exploring so people want to come back. The gameplay style and in game mechanics kind of plays like Mafia III. There are few differences between Tommy and Lincoln. Instead of moving, shooting and fighting like a Military Veteran that Lincoln is. Tommy is more of a street brawler. Although the shooting is sort of on point (although better than the original I felt that could've scrapped the gunplay they used Mafia III). The hand to hand combat system feels pretty average and although the button sequence can be used to pull of a lethal finishing move or dodge it sometimes feels pretty wonky. For driving you're giving two options Normal and simulation. Normal gives you an easier feeling of the cars. Although it's not too real they're still older cars so they can be pretty heavy and getting away can be challenging . If you're not a good at driving in games go for normal, because simulation mode might not be for you. Cars are heavier, crashes hit harder and turning is a lot more tight. And if your skills aren't up there and you choose it during the race well let's just say you're not going have a good time. The enemy AI is kind of **** To try to get you out of cover all they try to do is flank you then move towards and in chases they sometimes spawn out no where making it nightmare to get way. Mafia Definitive Edition came is an good remake and it's a must have. So I'm rating it an 8/10. My main problems were It's generic combat system, dated AI and lack of content. But other that it's a great.… Expand

Some of the voice acting is good, but most of the accents on display are cringe inducing at best, especially the main protagonist who sounds like a heavy smoker with a sore throat who is in desperate need of a glass of water.

    Gun combat feels positively archaic and floaty, with weapon reticules the size of beachballs that make landing a headshot either highly difficult or a skill within itself. Melee combat tries to emulate modern melee systems, but comes across as janky, relying on button mashing instead of precise timing.

    Even though there is a large 'open' world available, Mafia: DE's campaign spirits you from one mission to the next with no freedom to explore at your own leisure in between objectives. However, the truth is Mafia's city is devoid of any activities to partake in, feeling more like a movie set filled with extras and cardboard cut-out buildings.

    Story-wise, the game feels obtuse and cliche. Unfortunately I couldn't progress beyond the halfway point of the campaign due to game design issues (the infamous turret section with the armoured truck). By this point, I was tired with the game because of how limiting and arduous everything within it felt.

    For future reference, games that are remade for the modern era should have a balance of contemporary game systems that seamlessly align with recognisable elements from the original. This way the game feels both fresh and familiar whilst retaining the most important thing of all: Being fun.    … Expand

    I devoured the game in just a weekend. Let me start by saying that it is not by chance that this game was just nominated at the 2020 Steam Awards as a game with « an exceptional story » (among four other games).

    The story is extremely well-constructed. Characters, development of the story, the setting. All these elements are perfectly mastered. I am not elaborating on what the story    I devoured the game in just a weekend. Let me start by saying that it is not by chance that this game was just nominated at the 2020 Steam Awards as a game with « an exceptional story » (among four other games).

    The story is extremely well-constructed. Characters, development of the story, the setting. All these elements are perfectly mastered. I am not elaborating on what the story contains, because I don’t want to spoil anything nor say what others have already summarized, but it is basically at the level of the best mafia movies. Fans of movies like The Godfather or Donnie Brasco to quote a couple will be delighted!

    This game doesn’t function like Mafia III. That has its advantages, but also its flaws. It works with separate chapters, 20 in total, each being a mission. This means that the game is not totally free-roam. The game lays on an open map, but you are not going to drive home/to your boss after every mission. You won’t either face any secondary missions or side-content to do between each main mission. Each time after a mission finishes, you get a cutscene followed by a loading, and then the next chapter starts. Working that way, the story builds magnificently up and remains very intense. Each chapter makes you play an important event of Tommy’s mob life, starting from the very beginning, and you never have time to get bored. This is maybe why some would say that this game is short. And indeed, it is. I would be lying if I said it takes more than 10-12 hours to finish. I would also be lying if I said I would not like the game to be longer. But at the same time, it is not necessarily a bad thing since I wasn’t bored for one minute.

    That being said, I have to admit that at least some side-content would have been warmly welcomed. At one condition though, and that is that I don’t want side-content the way Mafia III does it. For those who don’t know what I mean, I mean a map divided into multiple zones where each zone includes 5 to 10 camps to clean out. Always the same all over again for tenths of hours with few to zero story elements attached. That mistake hasn’t been repeated in Mafia’s remake, and I prefer it this way.

    If one day, however, a Mafia game with INTERESTING and varied side-content releases, it might be even better than the latter two if it manages to add value to the story without unnecessarily/annoyingly slowing it down. That would basically mean adopting a GTA IV style, which to me is one of the best games of all time. That’s it for the structure of the game.

    Technically speaking, this remake is impressive but not perfect. The game is a pleasure for the eyes. The city of 1930s Lost Heaven is well-designed, and light and reflections are staggering, especially considering the fact I played the game on a 2013 PS4. Same applies for the design of the cars. The game is equal to Mafia III for this. Cars, city, radio stations. Everything is made to give the player an as immersive experience as possible, thanks to both the atmosphere of the environment, and the high detail of its quality (visual, sound, animations, car handling, etc). Unfortunately, achieving masterpieces on old hardware came at the cost of a lot of graphical bugs, freezes and framerate drops. More than in Mafia III.

    For what comes to the gameplay, it is simple, but works well. It basically consists of shooting, driving, fighting and stealth gameplay. Animations and fluidity of movements of Tommy are good, despite being inferior to what RDR2 can do. There are not many different guns, but overall it is sufficient for what the game has to offer (gameplay’s depth thus matches the game’s length). Sometimes, I felt annoyed by having to gun down 50 men on my own, but apart from that I didn’t complain of what the game has to offer. The cutscenes are brilliant and for those who, like me, like such games with long cutscenes if they are well-orchestrated, it is « tant mieux » because it helps lighten the repetition I was mentioning.

    I’m concluding this review on a positive note because because it’s what the game deserves. Superb story, very good setting, great technique and simple yet effective gameplay are what make this game extremely worth it for its price tag (40€ launch, easily findable for 20-30€ a few weeks after).    … Expand

Such a wasted opportunity to get back old players that bought the game or new players who will buy it. The graphics, the story and the characters were as good as always, even better than the original game. There are so many sh**ty games that give the player a whole continent to explore with nothing to do, where the player is almost forced to do 400 useless/meaningless fetch quests just to make the game longer and worth the 70$ price tag. A 10 hour linear game is what we need to breath again some fresh air and to appreciate quality ofer quantity. In the last 3-4 years a massive REMAKES movement has risen and the best thing is that we get the chance to replay the best games ever created on new platforms with all the goodies. Mafia Definitive Edition is by no means a masterpiece or a game to be remembered for generations, but a good game which will stand out from the thousands of TIME WASTERS called video games released in the last decade. A good advice is not to buy a game that costs more than 1-2$/hour of pure Story Mode (e.g. 10 hour of story mode = maximum 20$). Why to pay 70$ for a game at release when you could have the same experience at half the price or less one year later. Don't worry, the devs will not be poorer, just their greedy bosses.

Does this remake become the boss of all mafia games or should it have just stayed as a friend of ours? Lets find out.

    It has been 18 years since we have seen mafia on the original X box and PlayStation 2, Hangar 13 and 2K continue with the franchise by bringing the oldest instalment to new light. Does this remake become the boss of all mafia games or should it have just stayed as a friend of ours? Lets find out.
    Story: The story in Mafia takes place in New Haven a re-imagining of Chicago during in the prohibition era, so we are playing the era of Al Capone, John Dillinger & Bugsy Siegel. You play as Tommy Angelo a cab driver who gets taken by gun point by the Salieri family during a shoot out with a rival family turning Tommy's life around. You start off as a simple errand boy as you do in the life of the costanostra and you move your way up in the family fast to taking the omerta & becoming a made guy pulling off liquor heist with the rest of the crew who are memorable characters Paulie and Sam. As you progress through the story you get your self in a little bit of trouble and now are looking for a way out for the safety of you and your family; so what do you do you turn informant. By doing this you are telling the entire story to the police and you are living that story.
    Game play: The game play is not your typical open world shooter, it is very linear though there is no side missions to do at all just collectibles. It works very much the same way and action adventure 3rd person shooter works. Using cover, blind firing & my favourite part of this is that it works like an old school game you have a health bar that if you lose all your health you die; this added to the fun for me. The shooting is a bit more difficult then previous games because Vito & Lincoln were military trained while Tommy is just a street guy.

    Graphics: The game does look a little bit dated but hey I get it its an 18 year old game but the updated graphics do look nice. There are some lighting issues I noticed which seems to a pattern for Hangar 13 and the games they release. There are some textures that will appear out of no where which seems to happen a lot too this also seems to be a pattern for Hangar 13.

    Verdict: Mafia Definitive Edition was a breath of fresh air for me and was exactly what I needed when it came to a new game it was linear and it was not and RPG, it kept me entertained on my toes a little bit & kept me guess.

    Mafia Definitive Edition 6.5/10 Fun!    … Expand

    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. Some story changes are good (especially switching diamonds for drugs), some not so much, same with mission design - some missiosn are better than original, some are not.

    Unfortunately just like mafia 2, the mafia remake is underrated again, with it's amazing story, very good graphics and by doing a great job at recreating lost heaven, mafia definitive edition is one of the best games released in 2020 and deserves a much higher score I really enjoyed it but it's a pity that hangar 13 lost a great opportunity to make the game more open world and add moreUnfortunately just like mafia 2, the mafia remake is underrated again, with it's amazing story, very good graphics and by doing a great job at recreating lost heaven, mafia definitive edition is one of the best games released in 2020 and deserves a much higher score I really enjoyed it but it's a pity that hangar 13 lost a great opportunity to make the game more open world and add more adventures and activities unlike some previous games, you can't buy cloths, do side missions, buy guns and or do mini games.
    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

    This is a really good and solid game but sadly the Mechanics of it take it is step down but the voice acting and atmosphere and the music everything just made it in a amazing mafia game. I like it so much that I complete it in one day

    I agree with the opinion that the original mafia was and still is a cult classic in story telling, but this remaster seems only half baked. The graphics are great, but the gameplay seems that it was not updated and stuck a few generations ago.

    I was excited when I started playing the game an saw the lovely new graphics, but by the time I got to my first gun battle and fist fight, I knew the remaster was a wasted opportunity.

    The shooting mechanics are just off to me, bad guys fall in a scripted animation and the shooting physics are very weak.

    + great storytelling
    + great graphics

    - Not much to do other than the single player story.
    - weak physics in the game
    - clipping and behind cover mechanics caused some deaths or game fail conditions
    - movement of the character is stiff during combat.
    - The frame rate is very bad, this should have easily reached 60fps without fail in 2020.

    Avg at best, recommend trying it for the story if you can grab it on sale.    … Expand

    Worthy remake of an iconic game that I played back when it came out. Remake improves upon a lot of things. Better visuals (obviously), more professional acting and one of the best driving mechanics in any open world game.

I think it's silly when people complain that the game has empty open world since this is a remake of a game that was exactly like this. I'd rather get good story with a smooth flow than an open world filled with repetitive activities like in Mafia 3. I really hope this means that moving forward Mafia franchise is coming back to its roots. I' m not going to spoil anything but certain things in this game were done better in terms of story while others were better in the original, more subtle, less Hollywood like and last but not least, it's sad developers didn't use unique score of the original game. The new one isn't as memorable.… Expand

    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

    Really nice remake, shows respect to the original source. The story is amazing as expected, the gameplay is fun and the driving is reaaaaally good. There are a few bugs but none of them are major problems.

    It's a terrible experience when played on PS5 with backward compatibility, the game feels very sluggish and unresponsive, not to mention 30 fps and no updates planned for the current generation. Hangar 13 definitely cannot cope with the scale of the AAA game, with a lot of bugs and face-palm moments purely on the technical side. The script is fine, but it's not their job anyway.

    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]

    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.
