Mafia: Definitive Edition

I played the remake, it’s clear that the developers tried, it’s not hackwork, the game is interesting to play. Exactly the same old, good Mafia came out, but with modern graphics and rollers. The game is for old, good gamers, the younger generation probably won’t like it, they mostly like to hate and trash games, it’s rare that young people complete a game to the end, it’s like they didn’t get it. Races also get on your nerves, I completed a race with a bunch of curse words only on an easy level and then only with “25 times”,

although later I raised the difficulty level to classic. In 2020,

is the first game that really made me happy and

caused a lot of nostalgia.

For me personally, the first Mafia is a cult game. I remember how we went through it with my classmates at the same time, and then shared our impressions at school). I remember how no one could complete the race mission :). The game has been completed countless times. I loved it even more than GTA.

The re-release exceeded all my expectations.

The graphics are super modern, many gameplay improvements, the addition of motorcycles to the game, hidden collectibles - all this and much more definitely benefited the game. The game did not lose anything (as happens in some cases with re-releases), but on the contrary, it gained. The charm of 1930s America, Prohibition and organized crime.

I completed 100% (all achievements, all missions in the “Walk” mode, everything, everything, everything that is possible).

The game is made well, even well. The atmosphere of the 30s is conveyed perfectly, there are differences from the original.

How to treat remasters and re-releases of classics is up to everyone to decide for themselves, but for me personally, the face of each game is exactly what you met 3, 5, 10, 20 years ago, and not what is tightened with Botox that is looking from the screen now.

No, this is not a call for negativity. But what was then remains a game from a distant year, and what is done today is perceived as an attempt to save more money on the wave of fans’ nostalgia.

After all, this is not even the same product with improved graphics. The “craftsmen” from the developer’s studio take it upon themselves to make changes. In mechanics, locations, even character emotions and plot.

We love those games, we love the memories of them, but this... this is a different game.

Cool game with the atmosphere of the time when there were mafia gangs)) Excellent plot and instructive. The remake turned out to be decent. Respect to the developers!)
