    I actually feel ashamed and embarrassed for owning this game. Yes, that's how bad it is. You really gotta wonder what the hell happened when they were developing Mafia 3.

    To begin with: wait with the buy. I finished the game in a 3 day marathon, so it isnt the worst, but: there where SO MANY Bugs and chrashes. The graphics, the sound, the movement, the animation, nothing is finished. 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 connectedTo begin with: wait with the buy. I finished the game in a 3 day marathon, so it isnt the worst, but: there where SO MANY Bugs and chrashes. The graphics, the sound, the movement, the animation, nothing is finished. 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.

    Overall I would give it a 3, but the fact i kept going till the end makes me think im too hard on this game so i end up with a 5.    … Expand

    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.

    The game started off pretty good with the storyline and characters then falls flat with the repetitive missions and not much to do in the open world. And the AI isn't up to scratch.

    However, this game lucks some major points that can make it to be at least on pair with the games’ industry epitome of success GTA 5.

    The driving experience is horrendous. I don’t know what they had in mind but it seems extremely arcadie and targeted for amateur gamers or children, (however anyone can argue that cannot be a child’s game as It is gory and racist). Thus, why there is such bad driving style even on the so called simulation experience?
    My second statement is that the graphics on PS4 can be on times either splendid or dreadful. This can’t be happening on AAA titles I believe.

    Either way I was waiting like crazy this game after I saw the demo in E3, and I state that 2k did a terrible work, keeping in mind that budget given seems to be huge. This can be perceived by looking at copyrighted songs and advertising it got, making it an extremely hyped game.
    I am starting to believe that any publisher passing delayed AAA copies to the critics, it tends to have either technical issues or severe bugs.    … Expand

    This is my initial impression on Mafia 3 and so far so good. I wasn't going to post this until I finished my review but I saw all the GTA fan-boy hate on this site and decided I better come and provide an honest initial impression. I have been blown away by the setting of this game, everything from the time-frame and music are absolutely killer.

    I'm only 6 hours in but can easily say this is the best Mafia game in the series yet. Anyone that claims otherwise I dare say may not like that they went away from an American-Italian as the main protagonist; honestly though that was the best decision that could have been made for the franchise as the Italian mob thing has been done over and over again. They have provided us with a fresh take and it looks to have really paid off. So far the mechanics with the game are very smooth, I personally adjusted the auto aim to a lower level to increase difficulty. Which feels about right and has made things more challenging.

    The stealth in the game isn't ground breaking but is done well, I do worry though that the takedowns will become repetitive and stale after time. The driving in the game is smooth and easy as it should be in a shooter. My biggest gripe with the previous installment (Mafia 2) was that the world was very empty and practically dead. That has been remedied here as the world is quite more alive and things are going on all around you. This was an area that I always felt they needed to look at GTA and come up with something comparable, and they have achieved just that.

    The thing that sets Mafia 3 apart from GTA though is the story and setting here. I feel like the racially charged climate has really set the tone here for some amazing historical like gameplay that we haven't seen before. It just really sets it self apart from anything we have seen before.    … Expand

    A masterpiece. Mafia III is fierce, violent, fleeting. Everything in this game is gorgeous, from its beautiful graphics, to the absurdly realistic physics. The plot is dense and full of strong characters. Applause also for the courage of Hangar 13 to address one of the most violent periods of the 60s, people who suffered from racism and discrimination.

    Despite this it is full of charm and has some of the best visuals I've seen in a game of this type. Definitely worth your time if you're a fan of the gangster genre and open world gaming.

    As a long time fan of the Mafia series, I will admit I was disappointed when I first heard that Mafia 3 was steering away from the Italian mob.

Now that I have played it for 20 hours or so, I'm fine with the protagonist change. I think this games story touches on some very controversial topics, but I admire it for that. Mafia 2 is still my favorite game in the series, and I often go back to play it just because I am so in love with the "NYC" during Christmastime setting in the first half of the game. Back to Mafia 3, I believe that the game is a lot less narratively focused than it's predecessors, and because of that it can start to feel repetitive after a while. I find myself playing the game in 2 hours bursts, after which I switch to a different game for variety. I much preferred the story driven missions in Mafia 1 and especially 2. With all this being said, Mafia 3 is still a good game, and I don't regret my time spent playing it. Just be aware that it is basically a sandbox game, punctuated by excellent cutscenes. You gather info on a bad guy, disrupt the bad guys business, take down said bad guy, then move on to the next bad guy and repeat the process. If you are a fan of open world sandbox games, you will most likely enjoy this game. I must also mention that the soundtrack is excellent if you like music from the 60's. There are only 3 radio stations, and there is less commercials and spoken word tracks than I would like, but the music is a good background to the action on screen. All in all, a good, but far from perfect game.… Expand

    I've yet to really find any issues with this game, Issues that are only specific to this game, none.

    Most all games have bugs, but this game, I've come across maybe 2 or 3.

    Speaking on the "repetitive" missions, if this game is considered repetitive, so is nearly every other game in existence, as all games are basically, go to X location, clear enemies at X location, retrieve package at X location, meet at X location.

    I am just happy to see the involvement of the Black Panthers in here, as well as the rare opportunity to play as a Black man, which is as rare as a blue moon these days.

    Which is why I understand all of the negative reviews are just from racist people.

It gets repetitive, boring, and just feels like a chore after the prologue.
    The 1960’s setting is done very well and is handled with great respect. The dedication to the time period is extremely refreshing. The characters are all unique and well voice acted. They all feel like they belong in the time period. But that’s where the positives end. The gameplay is mediocre with okay shooting mechanics. The driving feels weighty and accurate for the vehicles of that time period but ended up with me spinning out a lot.
    What’s possibly the worst issue with the game is how boring it gets. The missions are all repetitive and follow the same formula: Go to a district, cause a certain amount of damage, deal with the local boss, repeat. I did this a total of 18 times and the only variations are the items I needed to damage/destroy.
    In conclusion: the setting is great, but the missions are boring. If your interested in seeing an accurate depiction on the 1960’s then you might want to give it a try. If you’re looking for a fun gameplay experience then there are many other games to choose from.    … Expand

Многие жалуются на однообразные миссии, но во-первых, эти миссии представляют из себя динамичные перестрелки, а во-вторых, все почему-то забывают о заданиях по устранению членов семьи Маркано, которые настолько разнообразны и хорошо срежиссированы, что ты навсегда запомнишь их после прохождения игры.
    Я не спорю, что у этой игры есть минусы, но лично я готов смотреть на них сквозь пальцы, потому что я раз за разом возвращался в эту игру и получал от неё неподдельное удовольствие. Я проходил дополнения, отстраивал бар Сэмми, занимался травничеством, проходил гонки, завершал побочные задания Вито и Берка (которые, кстати, открывают некоторые детали истории этих персонажей) и просто катался по миру и слушал музыку. Я влюбился в мир, персонажей и атмосферу этой игры, поэтому для меня это 10 из 10 и одна из моих любимых игр, и мне искренне жаль, что её так сильно невзлюбило коммьюнти.    … Expand

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

    Mafia 3 is one of the buggiest game i have played, enemies disappear and reappear during gun battle, in some fetch quests the vehicle you are driving will suddenly disappear and you will be standing on the road looking like an ass, Missions will not appear unless you completely quit the game and then restart it, game can also go into bullet mode (very slow) as i experienced it some where close to the end of the game. You can get stuck inside the building and door's wont open etc.

    There are also some dumb things like if you hit a bush with a car it is like hitting a wall, if vehicle flip over press exit and character will magically appear out side the car, amount of ammo you can carry is pathetic, stamina level is even more pathetic & Every thing is further spiked up with Miserable lighting effects.

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

    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 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.

    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

    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. It's not a political piece.

    I gotta say I was a bit surprised at some of the feedback Mafia 3 has received on metacritic and other various review sites. I bought Mafia 3 day one and don't regret my purchase what-so-ever.

I bought Mafia 3 day one and don't regret my purchase what-so-ever. The 1960's setting is super interesting to me, not only because of the veitnam war, or the racial tension but because my father who I have a great deal of respect for is a Vietnam vet and pretty much grew up in Louisiana. So you could say I am a little biased. The gameplay is there, as well as plenty of content. Yes, it can get a bit repetitive if you play for several hours at a time, but given that is is a Mob/Mafia revenge game it is going to entail a lot of killing mob/mafia members and that is exactly what you do A LOT. The voice acting is some of the strongest I have ever heard in a video game, and certainly adds to the immersion. The cars handle a bit more arcady than I would like. Hanger 13 has stated, and I am paraphrasing here that "they wanted the driving to be a bit more arcady so that EVERYONE would be able to drive efficiently." I feel they dropped the ball on this. If they were looking to make things easier for more casual gamers that is totally cool, but maybe add it as an option to have a more realistic driving experience. Cars back then were extremely heavy and as big as boats so it completely takes me out of the experience when I am hugging corners at 100 mph in something the size of a small yacht. I did however love the "Louisiana Bayou" setting. It looks extremely accurate to the time, and when I say accurate of the time I just mean the over all feel of the Bayou. That kind of mystic/supernatural feeling. Hangar 13 did an incredible job making New Bordeau (The name of the city in Mafia 3) feel like as big a character as the main one Lincoln Clay. I completely enjoyed my time with Mafia 3 and I am starting again to see how other options play out (you will know what I mean if you play it, I dont want to give too much away). I would suggest going into the game reminding yourself that this is a new studio's (Hangar 13) first game ever. Yes, some of the developers that worked on previous Mafia titles did work on mafia 3 but it's safe to say they were extremely outnumbered. Also, try not to compare it to GTA 5. Of coarse GTA 5 looks and feels a lot better, but they have also had a little over 5 chances at fine tuning, and building on their franchise, whereas again this is hangar 13's first title as a studio. I should say that I have experienced 3 or 4 crashes on ps4 and some minor pop-ins but other than that I haven't noticed anything extreme though, I am no computer tech so someone with a trained eye might notice more.… 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

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

    The shooting mechanics are standard (nothing special), and the same goes for the cover system, which are definitely not broken. I played on hard with no aim assist, and the shooting/cover gameplay was pretty good throughout, nothing that glaringly bad or awkward to complain about, and nothing that great or unique to give high praise.

    The driving (on land) is a bit heavy and can feel awkward especially in the beginning of the game, but once I set the driving option to "simulation" in the pause menu, and changed the camera view to inside of the car overlooking the hood, I got accustom to it pretty quickly and didn't have many problems there on out. Boats are a different story. They tend to be too loose when turning, and too much damage can happen way to easily. Driving in boats is a big "meh".

    There is a lot to do in the game besides the main story. I enjoy collecting old Playboy and Hotrod magazines from the 60's, and that level of novelty is a perfect addition to help you stray from the monotony of busting up rackets/hideouts when you're not playing the main story.

    This game is glitchy. and I'm sure that you've read this already (and rightfully so) because again, THIS GAME IS GLITCHY!

    I've had my game crash about five to ten times while playing it, but I never lost any real progress because of the autosaving. I can see it being frustrating if you're right in the middle of a long story mission with no autosave, and then you crash and you have to start over. There are also graphical glitches in the game. Sometimes when changing from gameplay to cutscene and back to gameplay, you'll notice that the lighting on the characters can get very bright and stay like that for a minute or two. I've seen cars spin out randomly, people walk on the air, and other minor glitches that you wouldn't see in a polished game.

    If you're on the fence about getting this game because of the glitches, wait another month or so, and hopefully a patch or two will address these issues. Glitches like these usually get fixed, and I would say in this games case there is a high probability that they will be fixed because it's a game by a big company in 2K.

    Overall Mafia 3 was a fun game with a great story, mediocre shooting/driving, and a glitchy/buggy experience throughout (even though I would say that the glitches/bugs are not game-breaking).

    If the game doesn't ever get patched to fix the glitches/bugs then I would give this game a 5/10

    If the bugs were addressed, and I didn't have to take them into consideration because they're not effecting gameplay, then I would give this game a 7.5/10

    as for right now with the way the full game is I'll give it a 6.5/10 (rounding up to 7/10 using metacritic ratings)    … Expand

And what they got in the end? A spoiled masterpiece.
    Minuses:

    1.Suzhet: went to fight, returned another person. Close people were killed - went to take revenge, along the way to carry and killing half of the city. About character, behavior, charisma, intellect of the main character, I generally keep quiet, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

    2. Horrible monotonous missions, which bring only boredom. All the tasks from the section "come there-then - kill that". And nothing more. Already after three hours the game is terribly annoying. From the present mafia, there is nothing left. It's more like a godfather.

    3. Feels that the game is damp. The number of bugs is just off scale. And the hero now and then gets stuck in the textures. A car with ammunition in general has the property to stop anywhere, whether it be at least the middle of the road.

    4. Perhaps the most important disadvantage is a mediocre schedule. No, I'm not at all a person who only plays games with perfect graphics and all the time comes to the stones in games and digs, saying "Why so few pixels?". Simply, the very fact that the schedule has remained unchanged since the days of Mafia 2 leads me into true discontent. And in places it became even worse. Yes, in that game it was smart and even now looks very pretty, but for such a long time the developers had to create something amazing. Games about Drake and Lara Croft simply erase Lincoln Clay in powder.

    5. Artificial intelligence. Guys in the yard in 2016, in the end. It is very embarrassing for such a misunderstanding. Lincoln, crouching, goes immediately to several victims, and being literally a meter away from them, in three seconds manages to kill them all, and they did not even understand what happened. Well, is that it? And there is still the police, which often do not care if you violate traffic rules or not.

    6. The management of the car was spoiled by the addition of a navigator. So, for example, I do not want to go by arrows, but I like to make a route myself, as I wish.

    7. But this is already a claim to our legalizers. The most terrible subtitles. Not only do they have a small font, they are also shown as a solid block several frames before. It is replaced by 4 or 5 pictures, and the subtitles do not change. I personally would like the information to flow as the words are pronounced by the characters. Yes, they even did not translate the news on the radio, so the simplest thing, well

    8. I'll just say that a lot of chips licked with GTA, Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs.

    9. A small menu settings, corrupted brutality and charisma Vito, a feeling that it's not him, but his clone and much, much more. All the minuses can not be listed. And everywhere scattered money, even on the toilet bowl, except tears of laughter do not cause anything.

    I could close my eyes to many blunders, if in the game at least something was done perfectly. But alas. Is that the atmosphere of the game, and even then it is some kind of holey. To play, of course, the game is possible, but the pleasure, as from the previous parts obviously will not. So just kill time and that's it. I recommend it only out of respect for the very line of games. Mafia 3 should definitely be nominated for "The Disappointment of the Year". I was waiting for this game most of all, I liked the mafia first and even more, I was just delighted, the mafia 2. I expected an excellent continuation of the history of Vito and Joe, but got this ... I'm very disappointed, the developers just killed me in the fan .

    The final score from me is 3.5 / 10. A terrible mediocrity and disappointment for all the fans of the cult of the mafia.    … Expand

    Some bugs, no "save" button, but you can do it if you refill ammo, loot those blue boxes with case from Shops, or when you break into shops, etc.; car camera view should have been more like in GTA IV, repetitive(I'm fine with it myself), BUT, if you like shooting n driving, you won't feel it, or try different guns or tactics, etc. Personally i didn't get bored fast, and after a short break i resume playing, really enjoyed it,

    Mafia 3 is a solid game but I can agree that its potential has not been met, the game could use another few months in development in order to polish a few things.

    + Great music
    + The story and characters are very well done
    + As opposed to what many people believe the driving is actually quite good, especially if you pick the "simulation" option
    + Combat is exciting and dynamic
    +/- The graphics are not amazing but also not that bad as what most people are saying
    - The side missions are very repetitive, you will end up doing the same thing many times, however if you have an imagination it gives you the possibility of approaching the same type of mission (although most have interesting different back stories) in a different way, it is all up to you! You can use stealth and take out everyone with a knife, you can go in guns blazing and due to the good cover system the action is very dynamic, you can take out the opponents with a sniper, blow them up etc. if you have a good imagination you really can make the experience of side missions fun!
    - There are a few bugs now and then but nothing of a deal breaker so far (played around 15h already)
    - The open world does not feel that "alive", do not expect it to feel as realistic as in GTA
    - No option to own houses/change clothes
    - Lightning effects are not good

    To sum up, I believe Mafia 3 is a good game but has not met its potential. It is worth the money, however don't go out expecting too much from it, whether you enjoy the game really depends on the way you play it, use your imagination (differentiate taking out the targets/fulfilling the objectives using stealth, from a distance and guns blazing etc. and the repetitiveness really does not become such an issue then). The amazing music, great story, great voice acting and atmosphere make it a positive experience.    … Expand

I've been playing on consoles for over three years (hey, I was strictly a PC gamer before that.) and I have never had so much trouble in keeping the camera in the middle of the screen. You turn the stick left and the camera goes up, you push the stick up - the camera goes down. Really hard to manuever. I've tried changing the settings but doesn't seem to help much. Camera also turns really slow so when guys are sneaking up behind you it's hard to turn and get a bead on them. Have not experienced any bugs yet. Otherwise, I really bought the game for the New Orleans setting which is fantastic. I've never played a Grand Theft Auto game but have played Mafia 1 and 2 on PC so I can't compare it to GTV. I don't think the graphics are that bad, the voice acting is great and the music is fantastic. I grew up in the 60's and 70's and it's spot on. Can't comment on the story because I haven't got that far into it yet. My main complaint is the controls! Also, the print is very small on the screen so you can't sit comfortably on your couch. You have to practically be on top of the TV to read it. They also do not give you any information on how to read the map or what all the symbols mean!!! Really stupid! I'm driving by symbols and I have no clue what I'm passing up. Also they don't explain the symbols on the HUD either. Some are easy to figure out but others are not. Nothing in Options menu to explain them. Also, the on-screen instructions are only up there for about 2 seconds - by the time you scooch up on the couch and get closer to the TV to read them they are gone! Really annoying. Driving is not too bad (anything is better than Watch Dogs!) but it's hard to see the traffic lights (might be easier on PC) until you are right on top of them. This is probably a bad PC port I would think. Overall, it's an okay game so far with some very annoying details!… Expand

I remember in Mafia II when I found it kind of a waste that the beautiful open world wasn't really used, well in Mafia III they tried...but it fell kind of flat. Whenever you need to take over a racket, you have to do a bunch of inane **** over and over until you can finally either kill or recruit the racket boss. Now, I consider myself pretty patient when it comes to grind-y gameplay, but it even got to ME. I think the only times I ENJOYED doing those lame side missions where for the Dixie Mob and Southern Union rackets because there was just a sweet kind of irony to it. (and because the Hollow is literally the first district you take over). Now, with that being said, the actual STORY is pretty great and getting revenge on actual lieutenants and capos is satisfying. One or two of them even managed to tug on my heartstrings. I do admit that I missed not being able to customize Lincoln or his cars in any way, though. I think there will be DLC for that, which, thankfully, is free. I also disliked that you could only heal via adrenalin and not get a bite to eat to get it back in between missions or something like it. Or that you could only buy weapons from the back of a fan, although that gets explained. Kind of made all the stores feel kind of redundant. Anyway, I'd get this game for the story, characters and gunplay...but only if you're willing to go to an often annoying grind to get from story point to story point. You should probably wait for a price drop too.… 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.

Me he sentido a gusto por las dos primeras entregas, que me han sumergido en el mundo de la Cosa Nostra, una de las más legendarias épocas de la mafia. Con detalles que fueron cuidados en lo más mínimo, desde el detalle gráfico, físicas, IA, hasta el concepto del juego, muy bien llevado, y que provocaba una inmersión brutal. Ahora me encuentro con Mafia 3, un título con una historia aún más interesante, ya que la mafia se ha diversificado, y ambientada en una época post-guerra de Vietnam, donde todavía había mucha segregación racial. Un personaje muy atractivo como Lincoln Clay, y un argumento muy bien hecho, al narrarnos una historia de venganza.
    Se ha apostado por el mundo abierto, un concepto del que se ha hecho uso en montones de juegos, pero aquí, está muy mal aplicado. Mapa y mundo completamente muerto, prácticamente todas las misiones son iguales, hacer la misma cosa una y otra, y otra, y otra, y otra vez. Aburrido hasta decir basta, monotonía pura en los combates, en la "exploración", venga, como un FF XIII, pero en vez de tener un pasillo, tenemos un mundo muerto, sin la gran variedad que tenían las anteriores entregas. Un juego que a las 2 o 3 horas, ya no quieres jugarlo más, de lo aburrido y monótono que es. Un concepto muy mal planteado. Y esto hablando del juego en sí.
    Si hablamos del apartado técnico... Voy a contenerme para al menos escribir esta review, que duele mismo (pero alguien tiene que hacerlo): Bugs de todos los colores y sabores (puertas giratorias, el famoso "modo muñeco", crasheos, desbalanceos en ciclos de tiempo, fallos de iluminación, IA que de inteligente no tiene nada, falta de animaciones, o pésimas animaciones). Todos los detalles que en los anteriores Mafia eran tan cuidados como a un bebé, aquí no existen. Si en PC el rendimiento es penoso, en PS4 es mucho peor. No había jugado una basura tan grande desde No Man's Sky (y eso que aquel juego era basura), porque no me explico de otra forma los 5 crashes que tuve en PS4.
    O sea, se hunde el propio juego. Y en lo que no se hunde por un lado, se hunde por el otro, en forma de la repetitividad que tiene el juego. tengo la fortuna de que me lo prestaron, porque si lo llegaba a comprar, me hubiese pegado un tiro en la cabeza.
    Recomendación: NO LO COMPRES, o juégalo prestado. Me lo agradecerías el no tirar tu dinero.

    After playing the saga of Grand Theft Auto, from the first game to the V, through the great San Andreas and Vice City, I get fully into the Mafia saga. I felt at ease for the first two installments, which have immersed me in the world of Cosa Nostra, one of the most legendary mafia eras. With details that were taken care of in the least, from the graphic detail, physical, AI, to the concept of the game, very well taken, and that caused a brutal immersion. Now I find Mafia 3, a title with an even more interesting story, since the mafia has diversified, and set in a post-war period in Vietnam, where there was still a lot of racial segregation. A very attractive character like Lincoln Clay, and a very well made argument, telling us a story of revenge.
    It has opted for the open world, a concept that has been used in lots of games, but here, it is very badly applied. Map and world completely dead, practically all missions are the same, do the same thing one and another, and another, and another, and again. Bored to say enough, pure monotony in the fighting, in the "exploration", come, like a FF XIII, but instead of having a corridor, we have a dead world, without the great variety that the previous deliveries had. A game that at 2 or 3 hours, you do not want to play anymore, how boring and monotonous it is. A very bad concept. And this is talking about the game itself.
    If we talk about the technical section ... I will contain myself to at least write this review, which hurts itself (but someone has to do it): Bugs of all colors and flavors (revolving doors, the famous "doll mode", crasheos, unbalances in cycles of time, lighting failures, AI that has nothing intelligent, lack of animations, or terrible animations). All the details that in the previous Mafia were as cared for as a baby, here they do not exist. If PC performance is painful, in PS4 it is much worse. I had not played such a big crap since No Man's Sky (and that game was junk), because I do not explain in any other way the 5 crashes I had on PS4.
    That is, the game itself sinks. And in what does not sink on the one hand, it sinks on the other, in the form of the repetitiveness that the game has. I am fortunate that they lent it to me, because if I came to buy it, I would have shot myself in the head.

    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]
