Mafia: Edición Definitiva

Not the best graphics, not the best music....but for an almost 20 year old game - remake/ remaster.....OMFG they have 180% delivered. I mean I had the original in my younger days and I never really appreciated the story within the game at that time, but playing today for 8 hours solid, I realised that this is an absolute brilliant story/game. Everything is overly dramatic giving an almost movie like experience. I cannot criticise anything within the gameplay itself. This game goes way beyond my expectations and I'm so buzzed to play the Mafia 2 definitive edition after this! Absolutely well done for making the perfect remaster.

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!

The Voice acting is on top of this game, the characters faces have lot changes but still identical. the characters dialogue are more variety and more emotion than the original. the gameplay mechanics still same from mafia 3 but not repetitive and more simpler. worth to play and not disappointing, still the best story written game I have ever played

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.
