    Mafia 3's first few hours are some of the best you'll play this year—but the next few dozen are among the most disappointing.

    In the end the whole thing fails to come together. It shows shades of innovation, especially at its start, but never really builds beyond a core set of gameplay redundancies. Give credit to the game for dealing with some ugly racial and social issues in a way that doesn't seem forced or out of place, but unfortunately there's just not much to love in Mafia III.

    Mafia III’s biggest problem, then, is that the stuff you actually do as Lincoln is mind-numbingly repetitive.

    Awful. This isn't Mafia at all. It's a GTA rip-off that is so poorly done that I wouldn't even pick it up from the garbage bin. Technically,Awful. This isn't Mafia at all.
