Mafia: The Old Country

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.

What an amazing game! I started it with high expectations, and it really didn't let me down. From the first mission, it kept me hooked. Some people say the graphics look like a PS3 game-seriously? The story is great, the plot is even better, and the gameplay is a lot of fun. I didn't run into any glitches while playing, which is a big plus. The only thing is that the gameplay feels a bit hard at first-whether it's shooting or driving-but you get used to it over time.

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 Sure, the gameplay might feel a bit outdated in places, but that hardly matters when the game is so gripping it's nearly impossible to put down.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.

It's a fun game, with a lot of fighting and shooting, but nothing more than that. The story, in my opinion, it's ok, the graphics are good, but not extraordinary and the game has a lack of details and the world isn't dynamic, so if you explore the map, you'll not see many npcs or cars traveling nearby, you'll have the sensation that you're the only one on the map.

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.
