    Meh.

    The game is a letdown for me. I expected another brilliant mafia game, but instead, I've got a GTA 1960's ripoff. The game is really repetetive in terms of the missions. Although I'm giving it a 6/10 because I really like the DLC's.

    Great game, reasonable amount of content, some things could have been better, missions are often the same in a different setting. Could have been more, but it's worth it.

    Mafia III is the major disappointment of 2016, not only delivering a regular quality video game, but the worst delivery by far from the trilogy, and of course, staining the name of the saga.

    *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
    Mafia III is the major disappointment of 2016, not only delivering a regular quality video game, but the worst delivery by far from the trilogy, and of course, staining the name of the saga.

    *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.

    The biggest issue of this game is the repetitiveness of the missions. To play a main mission, you need to claim for yourself two enemy businesses. In order to do that, you need to do errands over and over again. If they cut out these tedious quests, Mafia III could've been able to compete with its predecessors.

    The driving model is one of the best, shooting and close combat are also handled well. Only stealth is a bit damaged by abusing the whistle ability.
    The graphics may not be the best, frames drop below 30 when entering the Bayou and there's a weird lighting glitch after loadings, glitches with cars, suicidal pedestians but other than that the game is technically handled pretty well and it's fun to play.

Could at least assign different tasks, the physics of cars is terrible, the graphics are bad, there were bugs, less than on PC, but met, not charismatic and not interesting characters. The only new character that I remember well is Donovan, he is really good, interesting and very charismatic and stands out strongly from the other characters.
    I do not advise you to buy this game

    Today I just fifnished the game and got some + and - for it:

    Pluses:
    - atmosphere in the game (music, all this collections stuff, the world)
    - car driving ( its really good in this game)
    - the characters (most of them made greatlly)
    - the process of shooting was good enough for me too
    - some good jokes (almost all of them from Donovan)

    Minuses:
    - not the best main story (too predictable also)
    - similar quests and missions through the whole game
    - the way of passing this missions is always the same too (going the sideback door and killing all enemys silently, or going the main entrance and shooting them)
    - bugs with the missions sometimes

    So even though pluses > minuses, the minuses are more weighty for me, so the game got only 6. Of course i enjoyed playing it, but sometimes it becomes too boring. And if Mafia I and Mafia II was passed through by me for 2-3 times, i dont think that i will play Mafia III one more time

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…

    Pros
    Great start on the story!
    The soundtrack is amazing.

    Cons
    Repetitive gameplay.
    Stale world.

Но вот вышла Mafia 3 и.....как не странно, я её прошел до конца!
    Что я могу сказать по поводу увиденного, так сказать.
    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.
    Графон порадовал. Выглядит игра очень хорошо.
    Порадовали, как это не странно, покатушки на машине, (ненавижу покатушки), машина тебя слушается, управлять легко.
    Порадовал стелс, да он однокнопочный и требуется доработка ии, но он работает.
    Напрягает однообразность заданий, 99% это убей и принеси, 1% узнай информацию. Всё. Из-за этого игра кажется очень затянутой.
    А в принципе это типичный, крепкий, красивый проходняк.

    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.

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.

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

    An excellent history and soundtrack, but a very bad variety of missions and things to do.

    Главная весомая проблема триквела - катастрофическая затянутость. Урезать бы все эти захваты территорий хотя бы в половину и проект можно было бы с достоинством ставить в ряд полноценной трилогии.

Урезать бы все эти захваты территорий хотя бы в половину и проект можно было бы с достоинством ставить в ряд полноценной трилогии. Однако для большинства игроков, и уж тем более фанатов серии, триквел так и останется провальным. Для меня же эта часть спустя время переплюнула бледный сиквел, поскольку в плане постановки и сценария 3-йка явно получилась лучше. 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

    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.

    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.

    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]
