    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

    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.

    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.

    Great game overall, i think its one of the best games of its genre. It is not meant to be played like a GTA where you can just **** around and interact with everything, its an open world with San Andreas mechanics where you have to conquer districts after districts by taking down mob bosses one by one.

It is not meant to be played like a GTA where you can just **** around and interact with everything, its an open world with San Andreas mechanics where you have to conquer districts after districts by taking down mob bosses one by one. I think the story is very simple but solid enough to make you root for the protagonist and destroy everything in its path like a true killing machine. The main story and sides stories are both worth playing, and the expansions add a lot of variety and fun to the standalone version. Capturing districts did not feel that repetitive since you fight in different settings with complete unique environment and sometimes some places where you wouldnt expect to fight. You can either go the stealthy or guns blazing. Also, the lieutenant system is very well made, especially how the lieutenants get jealous or angry when you dont give them the district which can lead to different outcomes.… Expand

    this game has to be played on PS4 because the PC is rotten and broken with several FPS drops and lack of optimization.
    Speaking of the game... I don't know why few liked it because I love this game mainly for its brutal combat

    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.

    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

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

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

    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.

Erst Jahre später war der Titel wirklich rund spielbar. Das hat Hangar 13 leider positiven Kritiken gekostet, Kritiken, die das Spiel aber eigentlich verdient hätte, denn vieles macht der Entwickler mit dem dritten Teil der Serie wirklich gut. 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

    Worst entry in the series.
    Game doesn't feel as open world as it should.
    Lots of bugs.

First for a 2016 game this is breathtakingly gorgeous the motion capture work is fantastic. The cast is great but it’s just a little jarring to hear white people say the noey noey word, especially when one of them is Nathan Drake himself Nolan North. The game goes really big on racism from again Nolan North forming a **** KKK rally to the N word being said every sentence. Enough with all that the cars are very fun to use because they feel real and the car shooting is also very fun my favorite cars are the Sports cars because of how fast you can go. But it’s a shooter after all and it’s not a amazing shooter if it’s not bloody and lord have mercy this game is bloody. Even one pistol shot can splat brain matter everywhere and it’s amazing, the gun play is like a mix of Uncharted with the slow down mechanics from the Max Payne franchise. I haven’t played the other games but this is the one to play. It’s a very fun game of revenge and it has a great style of storytelling but the racism is a bit shocking but if you can look past that you will find a good game that is just a bit too long. Support this game even though unfortunately the studio shut down due to low sales of this game.… Expand

    An outstanding atmosphere of a big beautiful city, filled with classic cars and some of the best songs of the past on the radio.

    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]
