    This is one of "worst" of the trilogy...story is very good as soon as all the characters and main protagonist but this has too much bug and fps drop sometimes,the song are very amazing and A.I. is very bad and has an amount of activities but its too repetitive but after all its still a good game with a good story.

    I played the first two Mafia games and I think the are genre classics. Mafia III is a bit of a let down. I like the graphics and the interview-style story, but it is repetitive and the AI is just bad. I hope the studio learns from the mistakes. Not bad but just not great. Overall rating: 7.4.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

Работа по воссозданию эпохи так же проведена огромная, как и работа с шутерной частью, которая здесь одна из сильнейших со времен, не побоюсь этих слов, триквела Макса Пэйна! Именно она не позволяет мне сильно хейтить репетативность проекта. Спустя время оптимизацию отшлифовали и выпустили ряд очень годных дополнений, которые вносят того самого разнообразия предыдущих частей.… Expand

Сюжет очень странный в начале нам рассказывают интересную историю, а уже к середине игры всё превращается в глупую мясорубку где ты должен в стиле рембо всех убивать. Физика оружия улучшилась по сравнению с предыдущими частями, теперь приятно стрелять с разного оружия и даже хочется попробовать все виды ганов, но это всё также не дотягивает до проектов современной игровой индустрии. Физика машин отвратительна, машины чувствуются пластмассовыми. Игра оставляет смешанные чувства и как правило негативные, но несмотря на всё мне было приятно провести время за игрой, особенно когда я не думал что это продолжение великой серии мафия.… Expand

Im Gegensatz zu den Vorgängern gibt es in der großen Open World des Spiels nun nämlich auch diverse Aufgaben und Nebenquests aufzuspüren. Wenn das Konzept auch lediglich der Ubisoft Formel folgt, so viel gab es in einem Mafia Spiel noch nie zu tun. Star des Spiels ist aber die wieder einmal hervorragend erzählte Geschichte, die neben Cut Scenes auch durch Filmschnipsel im Dokumentarstil realisiert wird. Das ist toll gemacht und gibt dem Spiel eine ganz eigene Note. Dass es dennoch nicht mit Open World Spielen von Sony oder Rockstar mithalten kann, liegt vor allem an schnell repetitiv werdenden Nebenaufgaben. Wer vor allem aber an einem guten Story Spiel in einer Open World interessiert ist, der kommt bei Mafia 3 sicherlich auf seine Kosten.… Expand

    Ёлы палы, мы имеем клон гта! Только в 60х годах. Но клон очень качественный.
    Во первых в игре очень удобно стрелять. Это её выгодно отличает от той же Mafia 2.
    Ну сюжет так себе, хотя, как я понял, задействован протагонист предыдущей игры. Три группы борются за сферу влияния, а ты с их помощью решаешь свои вопросы.

The hand-to-hand stuff is pretty trash and not robust at all. I remember them talking this game up before it was released and pretending it had this deep, brutal melee system. It doesn't. At all. There are a few cool kill animations in specific scenarios during hand-to-hand combat, but that's about it.

    I like the world visually. It has some decent variety to it, and especially early on is a pretty fun place to be. But this game has the least "alive" world I have ever seen in an open-world game. It's actually kind of shocking. There is quite literally nothing to do in this game outside of missions. And the missions are essentially the same 4 things over and over again. Go here, kill a bunch of goons, and then kill the 'boss' of that area. Go here, collect a car/truck, bring it back. There's also some stealth in this game, and the stealth systems such.

    Back to the completely dead world, Mafia II had this same problem. But at least that game looked lived in. This world feels bland and boring after you play for 4+ hours. Also, in Mafia II there was some decent mission variety that helped hide the fact the game didn't have the most lively world ever. Mission variety does not exist in Mafia III, at least in the base game.

    The base game is pretty rough, but there is some DLC to this game I enjoyed a decent bit. The sky is ugly as hell, and some of the mechanics in previous Mafia games have been removed here. Speeding no longer matters, so there's no toggle to make it so your max speed is the speed limit. Gas in cars no longer matters, the mechanic doesn't exist. Trying to bribe cops is no longer a thing. I'd actually argue non-aggressive cops barely exist in this game. Whereas in previous Mafia games there were 'levels' of aggression the police would come at you with. Not here.

    I'm gonna give it a 5, but even then this is me being generous. Overall I do believe there's a really solid story in this game. Somewhere.    … Expand

    Not many activities in the open world, you can't go to a bar and drink or eat, little elements like that are missing.

From the environments to the extremely good soundtrack without forgetting the beautiful cars that handle typically like cars from that time, I really enjoyed wandering around in New Bordeaux. Some buildings are also very well designed with a lot of detail. Even games like GTA V don’t do better or even as good. Mafia III has been developed with the goal of having an extreme sense of detail. Those small things, like your tires that remain turned when you exit the car, the radio that evolves with the story, etc make it unique.

    However, one first big problem of Mafia 3 is the AI of ennemies. They are quite dumb in combat, and in a few minutes you will have learned everything you need to know in order to never be caught when engaging stealth combat (unless you’re unlucky). AI during stealth is terrible, dumb and totally blind. It really is the dumbest AI ever, I can whisper behind a wall and all the 5 men of a racket would so dumbly come close and get killed in the exact same way. One AI aspect that I liked however is the driving of NPCs. They are reasonably fast where they need to be (unlike GTA) and drive pretty realistically. That is another important element adding immersion to the game.

    To continue on the good, Mafia III is good in the way that it denounces racism by showing how serious sh*t could be a few dozens of years ago. From modern slavery to publicly accepted racism such as no-black stores, it is clear the developers wanted to send a message and I like the fact Mafia III is not scared to show this. That’s also part of what I mean when I say care for detail. Nowadays, too many games don’t dare to take risks anymore by fear of not being politically correct and I don’t think Mafia enters that category.

    Then I can talk about the story, another crucial aspect of Mafia games. Actually, the story is interesting. It is well built, and going after the organization from bottom to top is in the spirit of a good mafia-movie plot. Donovan and Clay are a good duo, and all the main missions are reasonably well written. Unfortunately, the main story (which, taken alone, is quite short) is slowed down by a TON of side missions that are extreeeeeemely repetitive. Each boss you have to take down necessitates that you clean the neighborhood with 4 to 10 things to do beforehand. And that is a problem since it represents 80% of the game. Obviously, all the dialogs coming with those side missions are incredibly fade. It’s always the same. It became atrocious at a point where they would reuse a building for 2 or even 3 different missions. For example, you might totally beat the hell out of an enemy hideout by killing everyone and then you would have to come back to that exact same spot to kill an under-boss, and then magically the building would be full of enemies again.

    Continuing gameplay-wise, I enjoyed the cops in this game. The pursuits can be really epic (not GTA V style where you get shot to death for having just punched someone). I felt some Blues Brothers vibes! I also encountered some random events that happened to be very cool. For example, I once got followed by cops in a friendly camp, and some epic shooting followed, involving my fellow allies taking my side and shooting at the cops. Be warned, police isn’t flawless either though. I’ve experienced many situations where for example, huge shootings happened in the middle of crowded areas with cops remaining not alerted despite being a few blocks away.

    Finally and technically-wise, Mafia III can be as good as it can be terrible. As mentioned, the world feels and looks great, a lot of good work has been put on designing a cool map. Unfortunately, there are way too many bugs. Not even talking about the heavily present aliasing and ghosting which I still don’t mind too much, but it’s more about cinematics with no sound, cars popping totally wrecked, missions not launching requiring a full console restart, NPCs not recognizing my truck trailer, weather staying stuck on night raining, NPCs panicking and leaving their cars at red lights (???), enemies spawning when you’re in hostile zone already, silencer that isn’t silent, etc.

    To wrap this long review up, I would say that Mafia III is still worth it especially at low price. Why? Because of its exceptional ambiance and world, its care for detail, the cars, and the cool (but basic) story. That of course comes at a cost of knowing that skipping side content will be more than needed and that resulting from that, the game will feel short.    … Expand

The gameplay feels nice and tight and that's a saving grace due to the game's biggest issue - it;s repetitive as hell.

    I have chosen to give the game a 5. I was a big fan of Mafia 2 and this game tried to follow in its footsteps but was let down mainly due to a severe lack of polish. I personally also found it tricky to keep up with the story, where the informants came from, etc, making the bulk of the game feel like filler.

    The era that the game is set in is very charming. The focus on racism prevalent at the time is a controversial yet crucial part of the games setting.
    There are some main good story missions, but the build up to each good mission involves about an hour of grind.
    Death is extremely frustrating in this game due to the time it takes to load back in, making it extra punishing to play on harder difficulty.
    The bugs/glitches ruin the game, despite playing almost 4 years after release. Things like NPCs getting run over in the background of cutscenes, a complete lack of audio in some cutscenes and AI floating in the air after they die.

    Play the game if you like to explore detailed open worlds, but don't expect too much from the gameplay.    … Expand

    Well, it's not a terrible game, but not good either. There are some nice mechanics, but the overall game is repetitive, and the story, well, the story is just uninteresting. Please, don't waste other people's time, could have invest that 28 hours into some real piece of art. Game deleted!

    *STORY: Seventies. We are Lincoln Clay. Objective: to put an end to Sal Marcano, the crime boss.

    Good script, with good characters and narrative interest, but the pauses of the game itself between mission and mission ballast this section.

    *GAMEPLAY: Decent, but not very polished.
    The stealth is quite heavy, and the animations are quite bad.
    Collision and car models are absurdly horrible and unreal.
    AI is bad.

    *GRAPHICS*: The New Bordeaux of Mafia III is quite interesting in the artistic section, but graphically it fails thanks to rather bad textures and modeling.

    *SOUND: Without a doubt, the king section. The soundtrack is a bloody wonder, the sound effects are quite good and the Spanish (Spain) dubbing is remarkable.

    *INNOVATION*: Mafia III not only brings few new playable elements, but also loses elements from the two previous games, and that's ridiculous.    … Expand

Watch Dogs is more realistic then this. Polish? What polish? This game full of glitches. You can't actually buy a lot of things so money is often pointless. Two town in Skyrim has more content than Mafia III. The world is well designed but it feels dead and pedestrians feel equivalent to pedestrians in 3D GTA games. The graphics are so bland. In cutscenes it looks great, but outside of them it looks like this game was made in 2011. Although this game has an awesome story and good characters.

So what I will do with these gaming reviews is I will basically write a few lines, give some verdicts on the game (some of you might just want the pros and cons at the bottom with the score for example) I just completed. This means sometimes the games might be a bit old (like this one) but at the same time I guess many of you out there are like me and buy games on sale a long time after they were actually released. I have only bought a handful of games on their release day these past years so it would honestly be impossible for me to give you reviews on brand new games haha. Anyway there you have the deal of this new part of The Metal Gamer!

    Holy moly did this game start of well. I honestly couldn’t stop playing this game the first couple of hours as it was so captivating and everything was so well put together. Driving felt alright (better in the other Mafia games in my opinion), controls was what you expect from a game like this and the music, God damn the music was spot on and near a perfect soundtrack to Mafia 3. Initially it had anything you want in a great Mafia game, good character, a robbery, and then a betrayal. Not only did it all go wrong for you character at that point but the game itself also lost its edge. It didn’t take long until the gameplay became repetitive and boring, I had to struggle to actually finnish the game and from what I first saw as a really great game lost its grip on me and became a tedious task to complete. A real shame that was, because Mafia 3 had all the potential in the world to become the best game in what already is a great series. New Orleans wasn’t alive enough and it feels like they lost their touch half-way through. So here I am with a bitter taste in my mouth for what the game could have been and not what it is. It is still a good game that those of you who like the series and open world games in general are sure to have some fun hours on but damn do I wish the rest of it lived up to the wicked good start…

    The customization options available to the player in this game are very limited, because the car customization is very basic, the weapons are not customizable, and there are only a few outfits for you to choose from.

    Now, its a fun game and all, but its not worthy of the 60$ it costs. Why?
    Because after taking over the first district, you will have to do the same exact procedure for about 20 times, and it gets boring. I'd expect from the developer to add some interest to those awefully repetivite missions, but they are just the same.

    The open world in this game, aside from its being so awefully repetitive, is just empty and boring.
    AI is stupid and not interesting, and there is nothing to do except the main campaign.

    And as for the driving -
    Well,
    it sucks.
    really sucks.

    And again, if it wasnt that super repetitive, it was actually a pretty good game. Not GTAV or MGSV,
    but still a pretty good game. And i think you shouldn't buy it for more than 10 bucks, because Mafia 3 is just one of those third person shooters.

    There is just nothing special in it.
    in Watch Dogs its the live city, in GTAV its the amazing characters, in MGSV its the gameplay, but Mafia 3 does not excell in any of those things.

This is a good game, but not quite a Mafia successor. The guys from hangar 13 did hell of a job on the main story, great voice acting, perfectly done animations and overall an interesting storyline. However, I think, the transformation to an open world hurt this game a lot. It's like they tried to make something from this game which is not and never has been. That being said very inflicts my final rating.

    Next is the combat. Oh boy, how I like the combat system in this one, AI reacts to where you shoot them, they even have dialogs like "He's reloading, kill him." which is nice and they act very human-like.

    Now we move to the driving. It's not that great, however, when you set it on simulation, it's quite enjoyable, at least for me.

    The last thing before I'll say my final verdict, is the graphics... I don't quite understand where all the hate comes from, I can't say anything bad about the graphics, it just looks right, even though there are still some graphical glitches present such as bad lightning when day time and rain or shadows looking very weird, but I hope, they will fix that soon, still it must be said, they should've repaired it before release.

    My Final verdict for this game. Although I'm a very huge fan of Mafia I and I somewhat enjoyed the second one I must say this is a good game, it's not amazing but it still builds up the story and gameplay better than Mafia II, which I'm glad it does. 7.5/10

    UPDATE:

    After finishing the game I found myself confused, what to think of this entry to the series. First of all, the story is top notch all the way to the end, that didn't change, however to get to the main story missions you have to do these repetitive racket bullcraps where you just start to think you won't be able to finish the game and that's the main problem of this game. I can't believe how someone could make these great and memorable main story missions where you go and kill the sidekicks and underbosses of Sal Marcano and right next to it these shallow, boring and repetitive racket "missions" and to top it all of, just implement them as "main story missions". I just lost it there. So, because of this, I have to lower my initial score and I'm very sorry to do that, because the main story is soo great. 6.8/10    … Expand

    not a good entry into the series. They replaces realism with arcadey style of play. Vehicles moves much less realistically unlike its predecessors which was the whole appeal of Mafia. Found it hard pleasing all 3 bosses, always one of them would get mad about my decisions or favoring the others. Repetitive execution in combat was annoying

    Although if no one likes me feel that Mafia 3 without so many failures would have remained as one of the best games of the year but unfortunately it was not so, although the game itself has a good story, fantastic characters from the saga, good atmosphere And good music of his time remains as an attempt which leads the saga to fail in much performance.

    I was honestly surprised by how many negative reviews this game got. I understand why, but I personally think that the pros out weigh the cons by a lot.

    This game has one of the best settings we have seen in a long time. An open world game set in the 1960s in the south during the civil rights movement. So it's very neat to drive around the beautiful open world. Great licensed soundtracks while driving, in cutscenes, and gameplay. Plus, the game's soundtracks are great as well; giving a classic southern gangster feel as you shootout enemies. The voice actors give a great performance in every cutscene in this game. Very likable characters, whether they are antagonist or protagonist. Now, this part I am very confused with. So many people have criticized the gameplay. The driving feels very good, plus the cars are sweet. The gunplay is really good. It is very graphic and satisfying whenever you shoot up the enemies. The stealth is simple, but solid. The melee attacks are prob the best part. You can run up to an enemy and bash their face in and perform a brutal takedown by shooting them in the mouth, gut or head. The violence is very graphic and even disturbing, but that is what makes the gunplay so satisfying.

    Now.. this game also has a lot of problems. If I am being biased, I believe that the cons are not too big of a deal. The main flaw with this game that turned everybody off was the repetitive missions. Although it is fun to take the city district by district like a mafia would do, it is very repetitive. Personally this did not bother me much, but it is the main flaw that makes this game from reaching its full potential. Although this is an open world game there are too many glitches. Occasionally the lighting will freak out whenever you enter a building and the mirrors barely even work in this game. Some times it takes a while for the world to load all its details while driving. The AI is not too bad, but it has its moments. Enemies will occasionally see you even if your completely hidden. Police will occasionally get on to you even if you're a mile away from them.

    + Very neat setting, with a beautiful world
    + Fantastic characters and cutscenes
    + Gruesome and satisfying gameplay
    + Classic cars that drive very smoothly
    + Fun boss levels
    + Sweet weapons
    + Fun collectables (more fun if you're a pervert)

    +- Graphics are decent for its time
    +- AI is not bad, but will break at moments
    +- Get great deals from Mafia gangs, but it's not a challenge to earn the deals

    - Repetitive missions, which can potentially lose the appeal to the entire game
    - Too many unacceptable glitches, but at least it's nothing game breaking though
    - Game has no real challenge, has almost the same level of difficulty throughout
    - No fast traveling, which can occasionally be a pain

    This game can be very enjoyable for the right person. If you enjoy very mature stories with unique settings, this game is for you. If you don't mind repetitive missions because you're a fan of uncomplicated violent gameplay, this game is for you. Basically saying that if you wished that Quentin Tarantino made video games.. this game is for you. If looking for a game like GTA.. then never get this game. If you can stand it when games are repetitive, then do not get this game.

    This is not a great game, but it can be very enjoyable if played by the right person.    … Expand

    The other element that I felt very strongly about was the fact that all Mafia games gave law enforcement a real brain! You hit a car they chase you ! You drive in the oncoming lane they chase you! Speeding ? the same ! The best was the fact you could get away with a fine not a car chase systematically !
    This feature disappearing took away one of the only specifities of the series and it's a real shame ! Bring it back !

    Driving was not exceptional otherwise.

    Visually it's very unbalanced sometimes great especially at dawn sometimes just bad with too much flare.
    I also had a lot clipping and visual glitches (got a guy with white eyes ...)

    Other than that too much grinding and collecting and sub mission that have no interest but getting the achievement.

Very few have succeeded and Mafia III unfortunately is not the exception. What is more disappointing is that everything Mafia prequels stood for was gone in gameplay and story wise.

    Game Design
    This game has a huge, gigantic, enormous problem with the design of the HUD. I mean critical and it gets to the point when you question if they are insulting your intelligence with text in the screen, unnecessary indicator signs (you have a GPU thing in the map why you would put pop up signs in the actual city) the mission objectives are all over the place; it really ruins the immersion that was built with the city. This is basic and mistakes like this shouldn’t happen in a triple A studios. There are no save files so you can play missions that you like (not that there are many enjoyable missions) and if you want to make different choices you must start from scratch.

    Videogames 101
    Although there are many technical and gameplay design issues I feel that it has already been said in numerous reviews both from users and specialized sites and are explained with great detail. Instead would like to confront a very serious problem that mafia III has and many heavy narrative driven games have: you are making a game and before start thinking in how you’re going to deliver this awesome story you must realize that the player will spend double of the time playing than watching a cinematic. The most beautiful narratives in this medium are created with the player. What a game designer must do to generate this is simple: guide, linearity, scripted events can’t be seen as a bad thing even if you pretend to create this free roaming city.
    What does a Mafia story mean?
    Long story short: means painful slow downward spiral where the price is not worth the sacrifice, where the stakes are always at its highest. Mafia III set this perfectly, the elements where there, even the hints of the non-linear structure story teased a great finale. Instead, every opportunity they had to give us a surprise was wasted. Lincoln never faced a challenge, I never felt was something at risk (not in the gameplay not in the story) Hangar13 portray an un-clever, boring and non-threating criminal world that is waiting to be dismantled (the retaliation thing was a good idea with a bad execution). There’s not even a struggle when you’re assigning districts and conflicts can be easily avoided. Betrayal, corruption, crisis, collateral damage where only mentioned but rarely affected the player. Cops where supposed to be a pain in the ass because of the period, and because they are in Marcano’s pocket, you could easily create and element of “resistance to expansion” where the cops could have been in charge of closing business and fighting associate warehouses. I’ve never seen such potential wasted so easily. That’s why I felt cinematics felt so out of phase.

    Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven
    What made Mafia became a potential franchise? Well practically all the things they erased in mafia III, some may say the story driven immersive cinematic, I would say many games before Mafia I had this signature (MGS, hitman, Final Fantasy) so no, it’s not the resemblance to a Hollywood movie but the details. Some may say useless I may say the soul of a good strong narrative IN GAME. Gun shells bouncing while you’re fighting an ambush, cursing in your seat because you are out of gas in the middle of the street while you need to go to a doctor, running a red light and stop the car cause the persecution is not worth the risk, pick locking a car and wait for the door to open, realizing that the face of the protagonist has a different mood in every mission, shooting a car in the gas tank knowing that it may not explode at all. That is a mafia game and I’m very sad that the franchise has come to this. I’m sure Hangar 13 gave all his love; I felt the effort in every inch. Probably the best character in the game was the city. But I also felt the pressure, the checklist that they needed to fill, the deadlines and the half delivered game.    … Expand

    While I "had" fun with the new installment of the Mafia series, Mafia 3 is a disappointment with it being bland as any other sandbox that doesn't have the flow like Red Dead Redemption. With the very underrated and likable predecessors Mafia and Mafia 2, you'd think this game would take big leaps since it's being utilized under the current consoles.

With the very underrated and likable predecessors Mafia and Mafia 2, you'd think this game would take big leaps since it's being utilized under the current consoles. Sadly it's not the case here with Mafia 3. The game has taken a steps, but the steps are so minor that it doesn't make the game feel any less different than it's predecessors; maybe even less.

    Pros:
    -The World of New Bordeaux is great with live NPC reactions.
    -Gameplay is serviceable
    -Characters are very dimensional and liking
    -Story is superb
    -Graphics are sometimes good. Lighting plays well in affect in some ways. The motion capture though is superb, making every single character alive and very well acted.
    Cons:
    -Mundane missions as you basically do the same stuff over again over the next 20 hours
    -Like I said, Graphics are "sometimes" good, but most of the time its very average and buggy. With low textures and buggy unsettling environment, it ruins the experience a lot.
    -No Fast travel on a semi big map.
    -Driving is very stiff; I know that it's during the late 1960's but Mafia 2 was in the 40's , having better control on their cars, so their no excuse that the cars in Mafia 3 shouldn't drive any better.
    -Money really has no use since the favors you get from Mob bosses gives you better weapons. Maybe upgrades but the game isn't necessarily that hard to play.
    -Everything feels super half-baked in the content department.
    -No customization for Lincoln Clay.
    -Weapons don't really feel any different from one anothe.
    -The sky box pisses me off with it being rainy and dark for one moment then just turns bright and sunny out of no where. There's no flow in this game.

    This game is really an utter disappointment. I'd wait for at least a price drop for 30 bucks. I feel cheated out.    … 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]
