Mafia: The Old Country

Great game, Plot, Setting, character development, references, it ties the franchise all together. Don't expect an open world since it's not GTA. Stop focusing on how you can't do any activities because obviously that's not what the franchise is about. From start to ending i was hooked. The story developed is good, I didn't see people complaining about Mafia II since it had the same linearity to it.

Hangar 13 didn't disappoint - it's great to see a studio that learns from its mistakes. And their mistake was definitely a serious one - we're talking about the disastrous Mafia 3, where story missions arrived only after hours of monotonous, tedious grinding.

Abandoning the unnecessary open world was a step in the right direction. If you're not Rockstar Games or CD Projekt RED - studios that truly know how to create vibrant, engaging open worlds - then maybe it's better not to try at all. Given the negative experience with Mafia 3, repeating those same mistakes could have completely undermined the audience's trust.

But let's be honest - this new game turned out great. The story, the atmosphere, the action - it's all top-notch. Sure, the gameplay might feel a bit outdated in places, but that hardly matters when the game is so gripping it's nearly impossible to put down.

This is the strongest entry in the series to date - we're looking forward to what the team creates next. 8/10.

I don't usually write a review. But this game is impressive Best game this is the best game i ever played game of the year best cinematic scene. Best graphics and the story line is top notch the very good acting in the game over all this game 10/10 . If you don't play this game so play it now its like movie.

I guess i didnt extensively look into the game before i got it. But i expected a similar game to mafia 3. I loved mafia 3 for its free roaming "dominate the map style" game this is very different.

I suspect to distance themselves from Rockstar which id ask why, why would the rolling stones compete with the beatles, they share the same target audience people will enjoy both. Both can be great open map crime simulators set in unique time periods and settings.

The mafia franchise with this has fucussed heavily on story along with fantastic graphic scenery and detail, and its done this very well, evolving characters and a story that pulls you in.

I like it but not for the reasons I expected to like it. Id love another mafia 3 but this is a good game with the main caveat being not a whole lot of playtime.

Oh my God. I don't usually write reviews but this is really REALLY good. I have played all three mafia games and loved them but this stuck out to me at a perfect prequel story. While this game is quite short, the gameplay, graphics and story are top notch. Long time mafia fans will love this Absolute Cinema.
