    Uno de los peores juegos que he jugado de lejos. Historia malísima, mecánicas simples y repetitivas a mas no poder y muchos bugs.

    The game is so repetitive almost all the missions feel exactly the same. You drive WAY WAY to much it drags on to much. I'm just trying to hurry up and beat it so I don't play it again it just drags on to much. It feels like days gone. The good stuff about the game is the music and the cars are amazing

    Story seems good but the amount of bugs is outrageous.
    Even a few years after release the game is very broken and requires frequent restarts to continue playing.

    WORST MAFIA IN SERIES
    Same missions all the time. Characters are super boring and main character doesnt fit for mafia world.Open world is not living they are like mannequin. I hope hangar 13 dont make another mafia game cuz they are gonna kill this beatiful game serie.

    Such a letdown. Full of bugs and repetition. Hanger 13 doesn't deserve this license. Also the soundtrack everyone praises doesn't have enough songs so you'll be tired of it by the second hour of play just like everything else in this game

    Game with so much potential. One of the most repetitive games i've played. Rinse and repeat. It had some good moments from time to time, but overall the whole game is a waste of time. It has good cutscenes and a good music. This should be done much better because the main character is good.

    My god is this game repetitive and boring. The story to this game is incredibly uninteresting with Lincoln being an okay protagonist. Taking districts and gang operations is how the story is progressed, but there are only 3 mission types.

    Worst entry in the series.
    Game doesn't feel as open world as it should.
    Lots of bugs.
    Story was Average, gameplay felt outdated, wouldn't recommend Poor man's GTA is the best way to describe this game... play GTA5 instead.

    Let me start with the good things. The technology used seems to be good. Congrats to the dev team.

    That being said, the game has some major issues. First of all the lack of a fast travel system. The amount of driving from A to B is really tiresome. Many times I only had to drive somewhere to do a short dialogue to finish a mission which is ridiculous. After some while the missions    Let me start with the good things.

Many times I only had to drive somewhere to do a short dialogue to finish a mission which is ridiculous. After some while the missions become super repetitive and annoying.

    The next issue is the soundtrack. While the selection is really good, it does not contain enough music tracks or speech bites for variety. Which leads to the next issue. The game doesn't seem to remember the radio station. After I got tired of constantly listening to the same track, I wanted to just have the radio off. This needed to be done whenever I entered a car.

    The worst part are the bugs. Sometimes the game just crashes. Sometimes I had to repeat a mission because it did not trigger properly. Sometimes I got stuck behind bushes which are impenetrable (hitting a bush with a car is like driving against a wall). Lot's of trophies are glitched.....

    All in all the game is a mess. It's almost like the game designers wanted to make a driving Assassins Creed game, just much worse. Some trophies are glitched. Loading a checkpoint sometimes is fast, and then suddenly slow (same checkpoint, e.g. in races). I am glad that I didn't pay the full price. I got the Mafia bundle heavily discounted.

    TL/DR: Awful, Buggy, Boring, Repetitive, Waste of time    … Expand

    Это трэш. Игра не заслуживает внимания, куча багов, ужасный геймплей, затянутая.
    Из плюсов красивые сюжетные ролики и неплохие геймплейные решения в дополнении. В остальном игра ужа на, не тратьте время.

    Jogo mal otimizado! Preso, duro… péssimo. Parei na merda de uma missão de corrida que você precisa vencer mas os controles são um lixo. Não percam seu dinheiro nem se for na promoção.

    Gave it 4 points for the story and atmosphere but i quit playing the game.

    I am not racist at all yet when I buy a "mafia" game, I expect to be part of it. Especially the third instalment. I played mafia 1 and 2 because I wanted to be an italian in the italian mafia. Playing a black guy and exploring racism isnt a freakin mafia game. I am sorry to all my good and lovely blacks. Thats    Gave it 4 points for the story and atmosphere but i quit playing the game.

    El juego en cuestión no es malo, es un juego con buena música y conducción; la razón por la que le pongo este porque a aproximadamente 5 años de su lanzamiento el juego es casi imposible de platinar debido a los numerosos glichtes que tienen sus trofeos, lo que a gente como yo la cual colecciona platinos se le hace una pesadilla

    Finished the story 3 times. Some trophies won't unlock. I really love the story; it's very interesting and eveytime I feel like I want to know what will happen next so I continue to the next mission. But the game missions are repetitive. No fast travel. Glitches still exist even after 4 years. I cant save the game so I can restart from a checkpoint... so yeah. Terrible game

    Mafia 3 starts off strong. Its characters, setting, presentation and sound are exceptional but are let down all too often by bugs. Once the long but very satisfying intro ends, the game-play becomes a repetitive mess. Cut scenes bring a great tone to the missions but once you are handed the reigns and get through 4 or so missions you soon realise that there isn't much to do in this world.Mafia 3 starts off strong.

    There are no customisation options for the character or vehicles as of yet or an option for fast travel, so once you've driven around the map for a couple of hours, you will notice how empty and dead the world actually is. Mafia 3 has by far the worst lighting effects and sky-box I think I have ever seen in a video game.

    The game is a technical mess and the game-play never lives up to the highs of the story.

    I really wanted to like this game, but the tropes and stereotypes of blacks and whites were too much to build three dimensional characters and the game breaking glitches (getting stuck in the middle of the wall during a shoot out) made me stop playing the game after about fifteen or so missions. Play the first two but this one is like a b movie combined with a bad indie game

    This game looks great and plays allright.
    The problem is: It´s dull, boring, repetitive... VERY repetitive and buggy.
    All missions progressions are like this: You talk to a guy, you travel to 6-7 different locations and damage the mobs assets until you get access to some guys to shake down. Then you whack the lieutenant mobster. Rinse and repeat until you kill the guy at the top. End of    This game looks great and plays allright.

    You get bored of driving around (there is no fast travel), you get bored of the constant rain, you get bored of using the crowbar 50.000 times for a B&E. The only thing to get you going is the story, and in the end i just skipped the cutscenes. I was bored to death. i just wanted to finish the game to get some Achievements.
    The AI is pretty dumb too. Especially on the civilian NPC´s who literally throw themselves like suicidal idiots in front of your car "to get away from your path". They are standing around like idiots otherwise. God knows how many people i ran over. Also in the end, i did not care to kill civillians. Brought a little more fun to it.
    The Police is even worse, You can speed past a patrol in 130, smash in to cars and clip down posts, they don´t care. Laziest morons in lawenforcement. But you run your car right up their asses they get angry.
    Enemies has the most common sense. but you find the tactics of hiding behind the corner and whistle them to you for silent knife takedown early. You will discover this fast to become dull and repetetive. It is more fun to go in guns blazing. Some take cover, some just run straight at you.
    At least they gave each weapon different balance. Each feels different to fire.
    Cars does not get fun to drive until you aquire sportscars. You can upgrade them in garages, but the upgrades are lackluster, and does so little for your car.
    This is a game for the overly patient gamer.. I myself just played this an hour at the time after a certain point
    It´s boring, This game is a failure on many levels. BUT, the game has a terrific soundtrack. two tracks by The Rolling Stones, who charges an arm and a leg for music licensing. So i guess we know where the money went.    … Expand

    Its stealth is too repetitive, its gunfights too familiar, and its driving too boring to support anything else that’s going on. Despite how clever it manages to be in portraying the conquest and control of a criminal enterprise, the nuts-and-bolts missions feel like busywork, and it never fully explores the most interesting aspects of its setting. It’s better than Mafia II, but that’s damning it with faint praise.

    This is a game whose best moments are diluted by a torrent of filler, whose beauty is obscured by its technical shortcomings, and whose obvious potential is squandered by a lack of polish. That weird orange sky is, alas, the least of its problems. [Christmas 2016, p.110]

    It could have been a really great sandbox for one evening. It’s a shame the developers decided to extend it by over a dozen completely redundant hours, because they had fresh ideas for around one fifth of the campaign and made the rest of the game repetitive as hell. [12/2016, p.48]
