    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 and especially the protagonist really intrigued me initially but unfortunately it just wasnt a very good experience overall.

    Lighting is terrible, missions are beyond repetitive and the plot doesnt really go anywhere.

    I understand why many people hated the game because of its missions, but the high quality gunplay, driving, and soundtrack makes up for it. Loved the every aspect with gun animations and brutal takedowns. Whatever trick they used for camera movement while driving also deserves applause, so much so that it made every other racing game boring in comparison for me.

    Como um fã da franquia, é difícil dar uma nota tão baixa para um material que foi entregue aos fãs. Porém, Mafia III não merece tanto assim. Com gráficos medianos, gameplay responsiva e uma gigantesca repetição no modo história, Mafia III sofre por ser infinitamente inferior aos seus antecessores.

    The story like the previous 2 mafia games is fantastic. The side missions are a cumbersome, and the game literally turns into doing the same exact missions over and over and over again.

    Mafia III has a good story (think American Gangster meets Dead Presidents), but plays like a generic GTA clone. There's nothing in it that hasn't been done before in better games.

    For me, the game is about half and half. Personally, I like the range of weapons, cars and the size of the map. But when it comes to graphics and storytelling, this is a chapter in itself. Repetitive missions, total simplicity of fights and stupid artificial intelligence. Optimization is also half and half. But I also have another problem with Mafia 3. The game is often lagged, chopped ....

    Average looking, generic and boring action game. It is not mafia, do not let the title deceive you.

    Highly not recommended.

    Love the game. I understand the minus things to put it this way, but I had a lot of fun and I really loved the story, gameplay, gun fights and the way to tell such a nice story.
    I appreciate the game, bought it at sale after 4 years from the release.
    Not a bad game at all.

    For me the game is worth it just for the amazing soundtrack. The story is interesting, and the general idea of the game is good, but both missions and the action are repetitive, sometimes too much. I finished it and don't regret it, but if you are not a fan of the 60-70s there are similar and better things out there.

    Um jogo viciante com uma história muito bem construída. A jogabilidade é muito boa e confortável. A trilha sonora é simplesmente espetacular com músicas da época. O único contra são as missões e ambientes repetitivos. Chega a ser exaustivo. Mas no geral o jogo é espetacular.

Compraria de novo! O jogo foi cativante do começo ao fim, e ainda melhor que seus antecessores, além do que retrata temas importantes da época em que se passa o jogo, este título consegue ser tão épico que não nos prende apenas pela sua trama de vingança, mas por todos os demais fatores presentes no universo do jogo, e mais uma vez o que mais me atrai de tudo neste game é o detalhismo em sua jogabilidade presente no segundo título da franquia, a dirigibilidade e a mecânica de tiro foram feitas de forma extremamente realística, o que não se vê muito nos jogos deste seguimento, a jogabilidade é de fato magnífica, os conteúdos opcionais são viciantes, ao menos queria cada vez mais jogar a medida que ia progredindo nas missões secundárias, os coletáveis estão melhores que o segundo game, e isto inclui as revistas Playboy, já que estão muito mais explícitas neste do que no game anterior, o que não me agradou foram algumas conquistas que além de sofrerem com alguns bugs também acabam sendo massantes, por exemplo ter que finalizar o game 3 vezes por conquistas mínimas, algo completamente inconveniente, mas isso não tira a glória do título e a minha nota se mantém em 10, de fato vale a pena! Não podendo esquecer também do combate no jogo, com muita brutalidade e violência, de fato é intenso em seus momentos mais calorosos, por fim, mais um game completado em 100% e mais do que recomendado!… Expand

    Mafia 3 ofrece una de las mejores historias de un juego de mundo abierto en los últimos años y también proporciona un entorno adecuado que en realidad sólo es menoscabado por fuertes problemas técnicos, la banda sonora es excelente, si eres un gran fan de la saga Mafia igual lo disfrutaras, pero no esperes que te a la altura del primero.

Aloha B-rod here trying to get back into reviewing stuff so I’m writing and releasing a bunch of reviews of the games I played the last two months and I must start with Mafia 3. This was probably my most anticipated game this year, and oh boy sticking to 2016 feels it was a disappointment.
    The game's story is great and simple. It is a revenge story through and through. It doesn’t get crazy and there aren’t any whoa it turns out you were crazy the whole time twist. I actually dug the **** out of this story it was fun and engaging, and like I said you were the **** Punisher so the scenes where Lincoln (main character’s name) is slow walking to a mobster while he is begging, “man I had nothin to do with what happened”; that could give a nun a murder boner. Sadly, what kills the story is the fact the game is padded out with you taking over district by district just to progress.
    This isn’t new to video games Assassin’s Creed is a game that has this mechanic, but in Assassin’s Creed THE WHOLE THING IS OPTIONAL. This is the second game this year that had things that are optional in most games, but mandatory in theirs. Look if I want to go after the booze ring and blow up each wearhouse doing the same goddamn thing over and over I should be able to, and even be rewarded for doing so. Making this mandatory to finish the game is just padding the **** out. I don’t need my game to be 15-20 hours 8 hours is sometimes more fun if it makes the story flow nicer, and having variety. I can’t help but compare this to GTA V which did this concept better, longer, and made the side missions SIDE MISSIONS. I do want to talk about what I like in the gameplay. I love how the combat works it doesn’t **** around. It is very cover orientated, but the AI is smart enough to maneuver you out from being in one place the whole time as well. The kills are brutal and bloody you feel like you’re there to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and you bought Juicey Fruit so the flavor didn’t last and you’re pissed. I also loved the soundtrack to this game you give me that 60s-70s music and I’m there. They have Rolling Stones, CCR, Jefferson Airplane, and Elvis Presley etc… The game also is beautiful as all hell especially in the pre-rendered cut scenes damn did they put some time into these graphics.

    Overall the game is not a bad game in fact if you don’t try and power through it like I did then all the tedious inbetween mandatory missions won’t be so bad. When I was murdering mobsters I had a smile from ear to ear it is murderlicious. The game’s story is fun, and makes the main character have the wallet that says BAMF on it. I give this a 4/5 it would’ve been perfect if it just was a tighter game. Alrighty one review down 4 more to go    … Expand

    The game play its self was very repetitive and slowly became unenjoyable seeing as every mission was a copy and paste of the last.
    The story was good, but the boring gameplay, the unnecessary length of the game, and the glitches just ruined it.

The game involves taking over each district of the city (i know, how original), with the end goal being to cause as much destruction to draw each new major antagonist out, so they can each have their comeuppance. This is all held together by a mediocre plot centred on Lincold Clay; who is meant to be a goody (?)

    Clearly, a lot of effort was put into a beautiful, 1968 New Orleans replica, where the radio goes static when driving through tunnels and where actual man-eating crocodiles can be used as dead body dispensaries. However, this heart cannot be found in the core game itself. The soundtrack/radio, although full of bangers, is sort of all over the place. The level design affords little variety in mission approaches. Bugs are a persistent problem; with cars often materialising just feet from your character. Worst of all, the game fails to immerse you in the mafia fantasy in the way Mafia 2 managed so well.    … Expand

    It was pretty ordinary. Standard open world experience basically what you'd expect from a game like this, repetitive glitchy lack of fast travel is aggravating when missions can be so far away from each other. I would recommend finding something better for your time.

    I'll be honest I haven't played "MAFIA II" before playing this game, as I thought it is not important to do so, and it's, in fact, unimportant beside the feeling of nostalgia.

    MAFIA III is not a bad game, but this isn't really a compliment. The story is a great classic vengeance adventure. The music is excellent and the whole 60s' vibe is sublime. The weapons and the way they shoot and play out in the game was great. The driving was pretty decent. The Season Pass is great and better than any other story in the game, which is very unfortunate.

    The graphics were mediocre, sometimes embarrassing. The repetition in this game is tedious and most of the time frustrating. If you have played "Assassin's Creed Syndicate" then this game is much worse in that aspect. What's the point of driving a heavy truck or a boat for 3 km multiple times? I understand doing it once or twice in the whole game, but it asks you to do so more than I could personally bear (I left those missions unfinished). Also, I wished there was some instant travel inserted in this game. The long drive between missions isn't very amusing.

    Overall, this game is not worth $60 or $40, but if you can get it for less, then it's a great filler in between games.    … Expand

    Mafia 3 is a game that gets in its own way. The city is beautiful, the themes are mature and the story, writing and performances are all easily some of the best we’ve had in games this year, but then the incredibly repetitive missions, wonky AI and technical glitches all make getting to the meat a royal pain in the arse. I’ve never loved and hated a game simultaneously quite as much as Mafia 3.

    Mafia III put a high priority on its backstory, immersion, and presentation. That work shows in the quality of the narrative and the tragic characters, but unfortunately left little to flesh out the city of New Bordeaux. It's worth playing for the campaign, but perhaps there isn't a need to rush.
