Mafia: Definitive Edition (2020 Video Game)
6/10
Above average thanks to the story, otherwise barren and empty

Let me start big saying that I am a huge Mafia 3 fan. I believe Hangar 13 made a good remake.

The story is interesting and plays with cliches of the genre in a good way, however, the way the story is told Leads to some things not working For me. The city may look good, but it feels empty, furthermore, the fact that you don't traverse the world organically between missions makes me love the place a lot less. To be fair, the American thirties are not my cup of tea anyway, from the music to the cars.

So, the world is mediocre, empty, but the story is superb, especially with the tighter script this time around? Not really. An example: many of the events happen, because Tommy loves his family, but we never see his child until the epilogue. She was mentioned, but neither seen nor heard. I had no connection and no reason to care about her.

As a full prize title I can't really recommend the 12 hour title, but for its reduced price it is worth a look.
