    I thoroughly enjoyed doing the side stuff and filler, I did every activity for every racket and I was engaged to play even after the game ended.

    The DLCs are decent.

    The graphics, however, are not great, the lighting makes everything look brown and muddy, even when it's sunny outside.

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

    Police and its AI are very bad, so it makes me not want to have GTA-like chases with the cops for fun.    … Expand

    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.

    The acting is amazing. I wanted to complete each and every story mission just to see the performance of each of the cast members. Some you loved and wanted to see more of and others you couldn't wait to kill. A+ for the cast

    The story was also a great ride. Far from just a generic revenge tale, you really wanted to see what was going to happen next, and the flash back/forwards in the cut scene worked well for the most part.

    The setting is by far the star of the show though. Being set in the Deep South in 1968 was a very bold move. They pulled no punches with the racism of the time. Playing as a 1/2 black character you get to see this first hand from the way cops would show up instantly in a predominantly white neighborhood vs. maybe not even showing up at all in the poorer districts to not being allowed in to some business/restaurants due to the color of your skin.

    Overall the game needs a lot of work, you can tell this game was pushed out way too early, it could have been so much better. That said, I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys open world GTA style games.    … 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

    -Repetitive monotonous tedious redundant mission structure. Damage somebodies rackeets in the so that they come out of hiding and you can off them.
    -The "level" design is bland, redudant, and simple. Nearly all the areas you go to do nothing creative. The missions are all the same and 70% of the areas they take place in feel familiar. There are some cool levels but those are exclusively for taking down head honchos.

I'd rate it above average because the story is great, the actors are fantastic and the soundtrack is brilliant. Unfortunately the sheer amount of bugs, graphical issues and gameplay issues really hold this title back. Firstly, you'll notice that the facial animations are stunning but as soon as you look at the rest of the world you'll quickly realise it's a total mix of high quality and low quality. The rain and weather effects are generally beautiful but then you'll suddenly see a super low res texture or very noticeable pop-up, or perhaps your characters limbs poking through something they shouldn't be able to pass through. This mixed bag of quality is prevalent throughout the entire game. For instance, while the soundtrack is amazing you'll very quickly be hearing a lot of the same music over and over because there are only 3 radio stations and the content isn't huge. There's a very large open world map with some fairly pretty vistas and towns, but unfortunately there's very little to do other than the story missions which is quite disappointing. It almost seems as if they game is trying to deter you from exploring, and perhaps it is, because lo and behold almost as soon as I decided to roam around, ignoring the missions, and undertaking whatever destruction and fun took my fancy a whole plethora of issues became apparent; NPCs reacting strangely or spouting incorrect responses to what you're doing, getting stuck on a curb because for some reason my character decided he can't climb a 2 inch step anymore, weather cycling too rapidly and then even sometimes key mission triggers not working (I spent about 10 minutes at one point just trying to make a mission start icon actually start the mission). These faults clearly indicate that the game wasn't ready for release, so why they decided to shove it out there I can't imagine. You can't release a AAA game with such glaring issues. I'm not going to return the game, I'll finish it off and get enjoyment out of it for sure, but it's a shame that what could have actually been an absolutely stellar and unique open world adventure is actually just an average game. The feel of the driving mechanics is fine but if you want to have fun driving around the map doing crazy things... well, you won't. Because nothing is designed for casual fun or exploration. The shooting mechanics are functional, but not quite as smooth as they should be. The death animations though are absolutely brilliant, sometimes enemies drop to the ground and writhe around in agony for extended periods of time, begging for help. But for every time something impresses you, two more glitches or shortcomings will rear their head. After watching one enemy react to being hit in the back from a distance, cowering in pain and shock, I then watched him run away and continue fighting as if he hadn't been injured. So the game wows you with something pretty cool but then pulls the rug out from under itself basically showing you a lack of depth in the detail and a lack of cohesion. What's the point in having a bunch of cool little things if the world that contains them doesn't come together properly? This is Mafia III's main issue. There are great little things about it but the overall game hasn't been put together properly; it lacks the polish of a game like GTA V or Red Dead Redemption. It's even more problematic than something like Sleeping Dogs. If you play it, play it for the story, there's nothing else here to write home about, but luckily the story is engrossing enough that many people will choose to ignore the game's faults and push through.… Expand

    I was never really a big Mafia fan, actually my first experience with it was with Mafia II after the trailer for its sequel came out.The first month or so after that I was completely hyped, couldn't live one more day without that masterpiece.But as time went by my hype disappeared and by launch day I wasn't expecting anything from this title and I couldn't be more glad to be that way.I was never really a big Mafia fan, actually my first experience with it was with Mafia II after the trailer for its sequel came out.The first month or so after that I was completely hyped, couldn't live one more day without that masterpiece.But as time went by my hype disappeared and by launch day I wasn't expecting anything from this title and I couldn't be more glad to be that way.
    Don't get me wrong the storytelling is the best I've seen in a game since The Last of Us.But in terms of gameplay the game feels poor.After the prologue of the game the mission structure establishes a pattern, you have to do this small preparations missions in order to weaken the "boss" of the district you`re trying to take over,the problem is this preparations missions never change!They're are always like go there and kill the boss' drug dealers,pimps,weapon's smugglers etc.It is so bad that at some point it gets frustrating.When the game finally looks done with this preparations missions,BAM!There they are again and this just makes it less exciting to play.
    But it don't matter how boring this missions are, if you manage to get through them it is worth it,every confront with the district's boss is amazing.They take you to the most different and beautiful locations of the game.At one point I was at an abandoned theme park to kill one of the game's "Lieutenants" and after brutally murdering the poor bastard, I got out in a boat driving through the swamps heading to my next mission, and that was remarkable,this moments are certainly one of the game's strongest pros.
    The only thing that was able to ruin these moments were the shooting mechanics,they are not the worse I've seen in video games but the team at Hangar 13 didn't make anything to make it special,different,unique.Actually at some point I was frustrated at how bad my control sensitivity was,and even after increasing it I didn't felt much of a difference because the sensitivity wasn't the problem,the mechanic was.The game also have its stealth moments that are okay,they are clearly not impressive with poor change of cover and glitchy takedown animations,but work as the game's AI is really similar to Alien Isolation in which you can stand right beside an enemy and it will still not see you.Even with the gameplay flaws I still managed to have some fun since animations in general are really well done especially the death ones,every shotgun kill or stealth takedown couldn't fill more fulfilling and satisfying than it did.
    Another problematic mechanic of the game is the driving,with its Watch Dog style the cars feel completely unrealistic even in the simulation mode,and the pain is prolonged throughout the game since fast travel isn't present in it.As bad as it may sound the lack of a fast travel system actually helped me in exploring some real nice environments in the game but this surely doesn't compensated the frustration of hitting a car every corner in the city areas.
    As mentioned before, the game has one of the best storytelling in years,that happens not only because of its deep story and characters but also by the way they tell it.They make use of a documentary style of narrative combined with real and made footage of 60's events.The game also includes elements present at the time like racism,sexism and even Ku Klux Klan since at some point of the game you have to kill a man involved with them.This all makes that even with the cliche revenge plot the game manages to make you care about the characters and feeling curious about Lincoln Clay's revenge plan.
    Even occurring less frequently to me the game is full of glitches and sometimes they really ruin the experience.NPCs going through walls and objects,enemies spotting you through walls,these are the least of your problems since the story missions are broken with objective markers pointing to the wrong place and mission NPCs behaving the wrong way.I had this mission that a NPC should escort me to the locker room inside a gym, but the door to the hallway that led to it just didn't open because the NPC that were supposed to follow me just couldn't go through a previous door.I had to restart the mission two or three times before it finally worked and got so angry that i stopped playing for about two hours.
    Mafia III is a game that checks all the requirements for a 3rd person shooter Sandbox,but doesn't try to differ from its competitors,actually with all its glitches,repetitiveness and poor gameplay mechanics it lowers the level we are used to,but if you can get past this problems you'll find a compelling,deep and very well told story to be completely unfolded in about 25 hours.As I said before i couldn't be more happy to go hype free to this game,because I'm sure that if I didn't I'd probably have left the game with a feeling of deception and disillusion, but as of right now all I feel about this game is respect and I'll be sure to come back to play its DLC content once it's out.    … Expand

    Mafia III tries to deliver a strong cinematic narrative within a game, a double-edged sword in the industry of videogames. 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.

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

    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.

    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.

    Really blurry roads and stuff.

    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.

    In terms of gameplay, you will probably experience some of the game's gunfights, which are, in my opinion are pretty decent and satisfying, and alltough the stealth is pretty mediocre, you will probably have fun taking out the enemies.

    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.

    i mean sure, the setting is cool but the main character is so heavily focused on its revenge so the player cant really enjoy exploring the vibe of the city.    … Expand

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…

    Pretty cool game but it reminds me alot of driver 2 for ps1 but you get to use weapons. I liked the setting of the story. Could have been a little better if they allowed you to actually use the businesses that you set up afterwards and have gang wars.

    I haven't played the game, but perhaps everyone should stop being children and rate the game something besides 1 and 10. None of you have finished it and I can gaurantee there's many games that are far better and worse than this. Get over your personal views of race and rate the game as a video games.

    Extremely mediocre. I thought I'd 100% it really quick and delete it because it's the largest game on my HDD. However, I'm almost done with my 2nd playthrough and I have recruited everyone i can and New Boss trophy wont pop. No reason for me to play anymore if the trophy is glitched.

    I don't ask for innovation with every release, but this is a huge step down from the previous.
    The AI is bad, the stories are all the same, the buildup of any mission is the same, hundreds of graphical bugs and numerous bugs in the very bad UI and HUD.
    Though the story is decent, then this game would have been much better off without it and not calling itself MAFIA - it would have suited the game better to just be an open world map that you could just run around in and shoot, drive and kill or whatever in for no particular reason.

    I'm giving this game a 5, simply because it's pretty. It has a great soundtrack and the whole feeling of the scenario and the city is fine, apart from that everybody in the city, pedestrians, other people in traffic, shop owners and any NPC you may encounter seem to have lost their brain in a lobotomy operation that was publicly done on everybody from New Orleans back in the 60's apparently. If you were to trust what is going on this game.

    It's a real shame, because I can feel where the story is going, the only problem is that every mission has the same build up and it really feels like you are on a giant grinding spree from the very beginning, instead of being an actual story that you playing.

You can get stuck inside the building and door's wont open etc.

There are so many things that destroy the gameplay. Police is joke, AI almost non existent, the city feels dead, the car flips over nothing because the streets arent connected correctly.

    The worst: You do the same thing 9 times in a row till the game ends. Talk to a contact, do 4-6 missions for him, kill the boss, kill his boss, next.

    The whole gameplay works way too slow, if an enemy appears behind you, it takes you 3 seconds to turn around (at least) and shoot him, which means you're dead when you play on hard, which you should because 'hard' equals 'medium' in comparable games.

    This beeing said, it still is fun. It has times, especially in the beginning, when the presentation is just really amazing. It feels right. If you get used to Lincoln hes an amazing character. But after the first 2 hours this drops too and you hate the game for having unskippable cut scenes. The Driving is good, the sneaking is fun, the shooting works great (long distance headshots with a silenced pistol are satisfying) and the urge to shoot Marcano in the face keep you going.

    Sadly, if you compare this game to GTA 5, which you should, because they have A LOT of similarities, it loses in almost every aspect. This doenst mean its a bad game, but if you played GTA 5 you get annoyed by a lot of things that where just a lot better.

    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.

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.

Then I was driving and noticed none of the tires were on the road, the car literally hovered above the ground. Sigh. That's when I got annoyed and all the technical flaws came piling on. The draw distance is terrible. The gunplay, while sorta fun, is repetitive and too loose to be accurate. I didn't (and don't) want to dislike the game. In fact, I'm upset that I won't be able to see Lincoln's awesomely compelling story. It's just not worth the headache for all the sloppiness. Spend your money on a game that is playable and has taken the extra time to put care into their product.… Expand

    How can such an excellently crafted world with a brilliant soundtrack and decent driving and shooting turn into such a snooze fest with the most repetetive mission structure seen for quite some time?Granted,the prologue and a few missions are a little different but come on!I just don't understand how the developers built a fantastic world to play in but forgot to put the play intoHow can such an excellently crafted world with a brilliant soundtrack and decent driving and shooting turn into such a snooze fest with the most repetetive mission structure seen for quite some time?Granted,the prologue and a few missions are a little different but come on!I just don't understand how the developers built a fantastic world to play in but forgot to put the play into it.Unforgiveable.Points for soundtrack and world only.… Expand

    There's great story somewhere beneath the pile of repetitive, BORING gameplay. It's the biggest disappointment of 2016 for me. The opening was excellent, it's like playing two different games. I'd like to get to know Lincoln's story, but I can't stand running errands that look and work the same over and over and over again.

"Hours and hours and hours of content" said the dev in one interview prior to release. Now I know what they meant. I threw in the towel after a dozen hours or so. Can't do it anymore, it feels like second job and I don't have enough time to play the good games out there. Such a shame. :(… Expand

    I think the 69 this is currently getting on metacritic is very generous. It plays and looks poor. As a ps4 release its not good enought at all. What's with the cheap looking hud and text? Very poor options as well. It also took like 12 hours to install. This is meant to b AAA r u kidding. I reckon if this was released last generation it would be even lucky to get 69!

    Very few good things are in this latest Mafia game. The best thing was the story. There was a very good twist that I did not expect, and glad I did not read too much into the game beforehand. The late 60's setting in Louisiana is also good, driving from the city, to the suburbs was very good. Your CIA buddy, Donovan, was a great addition as was the priest.

With the ending credits cut scene, I was hoping for a Donovan/CIA game to be made.

    The bad? Just about everything else. AI is either too stupid or too smart. A few times you can change position in combat and they may lose sight of you and still shoot at your last position. Most of the time, they can see where you go. Even though this is not the place for rating add-ons, I need to mention that they should have been released with the game. One of them makes no sense as you rebuild your dad's bar and get no income back from it. Another allows you to grow marijuana and profit a bit from it, although you have to drive across the map to harvest it. Also, you cannot activate the DLC until well into the game. Profits from the grow farm do not add up, especially with the money you put in to upgrade the farm. If you collect Trophies, you will have to replay the game yet again to easily get at least 3 trophies.    … 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]
