    Mafia 3 is a title that should be tried to the end to be appreciated. The story of Lincoln Clay is worth to be played, because too often the narrative plot is put aside in favor of high resolution textures and stunning special effects.

    If anything, I think the game is worth checking out for the story alone. It’s unfortunate that the gameplay is so much of a slog that some players may not think the story is worth the trouble. However, if you have the time, the extra coin, and love mob stories, this tale has a satisfying end.

    Mafia III does most things right, though. It is an enjoyable game, one that has probably the best licensed soundtracks for a game outside of a music-based game. The combat and cover mechanics work really and the cut-scenes allow the story to progress smoothly in the wonderfully presented city of New Bordeaux.

    Mafia 3's goals are ambitious and even laudable, but to tell a serious story about race, especially within the form of an open-world action game, requires heavy lifting. For all of the writing's attempts to push the genre forward, its game design is trapped in the open-world conventions of five years ago. That stale foundation isn't strong enough to hold the weight of Mafia 3's words — even if they're words that are worth hearing.

    The story and characters are excellent and the game is enjoyable, but the open world detracts from the experience rather than adding to it.

    Hangar 13 has done a terrible job on the PC port. But even ignoring all those pesky technical issues, Mafia 3 suffers from lack of variety. The game’s open world is dead and artificial, while the great atmosphere and competent storytelling feel wasted.

    It tells its story well, with smart writing and some superb characterisation that elevate its simple revenge plot. Ultimately, however, it never capitalises on its open world potential, instead succumbing to an almost constant lull of tediously unimaginative repetition that makes for a boring and dated open-world shooter.

The gameplay is fun, the storyline isI can't believe they fwcked up this game's series that bad. It's nothing that I can actually describe. The gameplay is fun, the storyline is alright, hell, even graphics ain't that bad. Now we'll move to the facts that really matter: bugs! there are too many bugs! I simply can't believe someone would sell a game in this Alpha stage. The optimization is 0. The only games that forced me to play it at lowest settings was Batman Arkham Knight and Mafia III. Those who describe it as a "demanding game" don't know what a demanding game actually is. Mafia III is practically an alpha stage release game, who eats resources like no other game out there, and delivers nothing back! A.C. Unity is a demaning game, yes, but at it's finest delivers a beautiful 1700's world. I simply loved that game! Mafia III fails to deliver anything besides bugs, errors and nonexistent optimization. Again, I really can't believe they screwed up this change of a good game. This is my biggest dissapointment in a very long time.… Expand

    First game of the franchise i've played, and i really loved it. I still remember, i cracked it the first time i played and    Score: 7.8

    First game of the franchise i've played, and i really loved it.
    I still remember, i cracked it the first time i played and spent a lot of hours on it. Then i discovered there were DLCs, and i just kept trying to find a way to donwload and use them...

    Some years later i bought the complete game with all DLCs and spent around 60 hours with it all.
    Very very fun, yes the gameplay loop is repetitive, but it didn't bother me.
    The story was phenomenal and the soundtrack too.

    I recomend it but only if you don't mind doing some repetitive ****    … Expand

    I liked it for the first two hours, but then it just turns into shooting sections over and over for the rest of the game. Fire the level design team..
