Mafia: Definitive Edition

I was hooked on this game i couldn't get it out of my mind and boy they did a outstanding job its elemental craftwork from 2002 now updated enhancements for the 2020's Andrew Bongiorno is the new voice and model for tommy this time and he steals the show. I must point out that this is not like mafia 2 where you can dine this is basically 2002's mafia with modern day enhancements the cars sound so real from engine heat ticking to clutch gear shifts and the world and tone is so beautiful

Honestly, without even having played the original Mafia back when people were so nuts about it, I know how it looked like. I know what people thought of it. And I can even get people's frustrations who were hardcore fans. There could be changes in the style which understandably left a few people disappointed.

But this is a remake done extremely well. First of all, Mafia 2 and Mafia 3 don't hold back when it comes to storytelling. People take issue with boring gameplay. It's not bad, it's just more or less the same in all three of the games. You drive. You shoot. You watch the story unfold. You drive. You shoot. You watch the story unfold. Oooh! Check this collectible out! Drive some more. Shoot some more. Watch the story unfold.

I'd get it if you don't like that. But the gameplay isn't bad. It's just not as diverse as we expect from AAA games nowadays. But, what is even more important, the story is PHENOMENAL. Finally watching where it all started, after knowing how it turns out in the next two, I can only catch myself at the edge of my seat with every next cutscene. And thanks to the visuals, it practically looks like a movie.

I can't get over the fact that we're living in that time where we could watch what used to be a bunch of awkward animated blocks turn into almost lifelike cinematic experience. It is beautiful. And well voiced. And with this definitive edition, I think the trilogy is surely one of the best trilogies out there. Not for everyone! But IT IS good!

This game will blow your mind, i bought this game yesterday and played 5 chapters and it's awesome. The dialogue, the story, the graphic and the enviroment. Everything in this game is awesome and it was worth it. To be honest i haven't played the original but i must say they have put good work on this game to make it look nice. I give this game 10 out of 10 and i hope this game will be known as the game of the year 2020.

Buy this now you will not regret.

Mafia: Definitive Edition is a remake of the Czech action-adventure game of the same title released eighteen years earlier. This definite edition has been recreated entirely with new graphics, new soundtrack and new voice actors. It has been created by American developer Hangar 13 and released by American publisher 2K Games for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows.

The characters, locations and story are exactly the same as in the original game. The players incarnate young cab driver Thomas Angelo who is strong-armed by two members of the Salieri family into helping them escape an ambush by the rival Morello family in 1930. Thomas Angelo initially doesn't want to join the Salieri family but changes his mind when members of the Morello family ambush him and destroy his cab. He wants to get his revenge and earn some money during the Great Depression. Thanks to his loyalty and dedication, Thomas Angelo slowly climbs the career ladder and gets more and more important missions done such as competing in a car racing competition and assassinating a corrupt politician. The made man also begins a relationship with the daughter of Salieri's bartender and has finally found a place he likes to call home. Cracks start to show when Thomas Angelo starts questioning some of his missions and realizes that Don Salieri is hiding something from the rest of the family. The conflicted rising start must now choose between loyalty and convictions in the best interest of his family, friends and himself.

This new definitive edition convinces on numerous levels. The graphics are absolutely stunning and bring the era of the Great Depression in the United States of America to life in a realistic way. The soundtrack is immersive, diversified and cinematic and especially the two radio channels one can listen to while driving a car are particularly entertaining. The controls are much more fluid than in the original game and certainly increase the enjoyment of playing this game.

The only negative element is that the story of this game is exactly the same as in the original game. It would have been great to add some side missions or perhaps to offer an alternative ending. Those who have played the original game will play this one for nostalgic reasons but won't get any innovation or even surprises here.

Despite that one particular flaw, Mafia: Definitive Edition is the best organized crime game you could possibly imagine. Anyone who likes action, crime and stealth games should definitely enjoy this release. It's much more concise than numerous contemporary open-world video games and convinces with immersive atmosphere, fascinating characters and a gripping story line. This approach isn't old-fashioned but very focused instead which is an element I am missing in franchises like Grand Theft Auto for instance. Sometimes, a little bit less can be so much more and this is precisely the case here.

I just got a new curved monitor and this was the perfect game to start it with. The 2560x1440 resolution is perfect for the game. I have never played the original hence experiencing the storyline for the first time, and the fact that this is a remake blew my mind. The storyline is engaging and easy to follow through, the characters well studied. There was a lot of driving in the beginning which I don't enjoy so much but thereafter the gameplay, the movement, the world around it just felt amazing to dive into. The takedowns are kinda funny, but the shooting mechanisms are smooth, not a lot of variety in gun choices but still realistic and fun to blast through. I had a great time playing this game.
