A remake of a beloved game will be the benefactor for this week and the pick for the Screenshot Sunday #24. I’m talking of course about the remake of Mafia. While the game has an open world, it’s but an illusion. There’s nothing to do and interact with, and if they cut out all the driving from point A to point B (which you can actually do with a press of a button), the game would feel the same. It’s a shame to see such a wasted opportunity but it is what it is. The gameplay was fun, but it did have a few lows like the frequent car chases (the driving just isn’t that great) and some segments overstayed their welcome. The story and cinematography are amazing, but the voice acting isn’t the best for certain characters. Overall, Mafia The Definitive Edition was a fun game despite some of its issues.
So, salute and don’t forget to bring your long coat, I hear there’s a chance of raining Tommy gun bullets.
