This is one of the games that makes me wish Steam allows me to make a neutral review. As someone who played the original, the Definitive Edition leaves much to be desired. The graphics and environment are absolutely stunning. Yet, the game feels stripped of purposes to explore. Storyline no longer takes you all around the city; Many driving of the missions are skipped with cutscenes; The side quests from Lucas Bertone are gone. The public transport from the original are barred from us now. All in all it's a shame that the developers cut these contents that make the original so beloved. In fact, imo, the DE lacks details of the original level. Of course, the city and the graphics give much more details visually. But the details in the stories and the details in the gameplay are gone. Replacing them are the overtly-hand holding that makes the game feels more like a film. The original shines as it allows you to make your own choices from time to time; For instance, in the mission Molotov party, you can choose to block the backdoor of the bar with a crate to earn yourself a few more minutes before you wreck the cars. In the same mission, a better car that you can collect is hidden in a garage. The remake, however, directly point you to that car. Another example is Visiting Rich People, in the origin you can have Salvatore to pick the prosecutor's car for you (which also teaches you how to pick that specific car). This is entirely optional and requires player's thinking. Or in the Running Man, where u can tell a lady who is waiting in an alley that her date got the address wrong as you found him earlier in another similar alley. In Definitive Edition? These are all gone. The mission feels short as it forcefully holds your hand and strips you of freedom to explore the levels. This strips players like me the sense of achievement when I finish the mission in different ways (and succeed in doing so). I like the developers' attempt to give characters more depth. But the drastic change in terms of personalities sometimes feels a bit too much. The reduction of missions doesn't help either as characters feels much less relatable, namely Ralph and Lucas. Especially since their function in game is mostly gone now. However, I do applaud the developers's effort in trying to give more insights of the era with the additional or changed dialogue. Mafia 3's combat system is not something I like at all, but it is acceptable. With the classic difficulties, it does prove to be a fun challenge to manage your resources. So I would say the gun play is much more modern and enjoyable than the original. All in all, Mafia: Definitive Edition has its merits, but loses on many other aspects that made the original Mafia so praised and loved. The game feels rushed, and there are many contents that felt like they were cut at the last minute. I recommend waiting for a sale at least at 50%. Edit #1: Grammar, spellings, etc. Confirmed that in Running Man you can talk to the lady; My mistakes, and many thanks to @steve who mentioned it in the comment.Show moreShow less

I wanted to love this so bad, the original Mafia was one of my favourite games and blew me away with its rich story, open world and most of all the IMMERSION. You could visit shops and cafés, drive taxis, take the bus or ride the trams and trains around the city, feel like a part of bustlin' 1930's america. Couple all this with an incredible soundtrack and it was heaven. It's a Lost heaven. Just about everything I listed above, save for the story, is gone. There is NO public transportation in the game, no enterable buildings or interactive gas stations and weapon shops. Almost all side missions and even TAXI DRIVING is removed from the game. The soundtrack is gone, the soft-body car destruction and interactivity, which at the time was groundbreaking tech, is completely gone. Everything that made the game immersive and incredible has been systematically removed and as such I cannot recommend it. If you need further information I should also point out that it is a rather poor port, what was originally a PC game has been ported to a console engine and then back again - and suffers from awful controls, a terrible melee system and overbearing mouse smoothing that cannot be turned off. You cannot bind controls to secondary mouse buttons, and several commands can't be rebound at all. You can't strafe. The only good thing I can say of the game is that the story is intact and wonderful as ever, and it looks very pretty. If only they'd left some immersion in there :(Show moreShow less

Mafia the City of Lost Heaven is one of my top 5 games of all time. What Definitive Edition did was suck the soul out of an incredible game 19 years later, leaving behind a console-fied, dumbed down, version. Where to begin? The voice acting is the first thing you notice. Paulie, Sam, and Tommy all went from sounding like Italian mob guys who aren't caricatures to NNNYEEEEH SEE, FUGHETABOUTIT. Paulie keeps his character more or less, but his voice actor is horrible and obnoxious. Sam sort of retains his voice, but his persona goes from the "straight man" that Tommy would confide in, to a cocky jerk. Tommy's voice actor was okay, but his personality got assassinated. Whereas originally he was a mellow but confident man and definitely not bloodthirsty, he went to being a cocky greaser type who happily kills scores of men and then hesitates to kill one more. Inconsistent character delivery and inconsistent motivations all around. The car and gun features have been greatly reduced. Vinny the gun guy and Ralphie the car guy were super fun to listen to ORIGINALLY where they would tell you about the cars, the new technological improvements and how to steal them. Or the various guns and what was special about them. These characters now say a few words to you and largely exist in short cutscenes. Vehicle deformation is almost NONEXISTENT. Can't shoot tires off cars, can't break windows, knock off mirrors or cause grievous damage to them anymore. Cars just boringly smoke and stop running. This is such a disappointment from the original where car damage (in 2002) was exceptional. Which brings us to gameplay. They removed free aim in car chases, the ability to end any chase mission early. Now they all end in pre-determined scripted paths. You chase people or get chased until they crash at which point the game says YOU DID IT. And not a moment sooner. No more skillfully nailing the driver or popping their tires, or anything creative. Some of the slower paced missions were redone and rearranged to have gunfights, like "Happy Birthday" where a dumb gunfight was shoehorned in. Other missions like "Lucky Bastard" were re-done to remove any tension and slow parts and instead threw in more extended scripted chases. The cover based shooting is okay. It doesn't detract TOO much from the game but the guns feel inaccurate and unsatisfying. Going for headshots is annoying, and enemies will frequently play whack-a-mole with you popping in and out of cover. Cars are also only accessible when the game wants you to, so in certain missions where there might be cars, you're not allowed to use them for no other reason than "we said so". Lastly the story, while on the surface the story remains the same, its changed for the worse. The ending is entirely butchered, getting rid of Tommy's impactful speech and his confrontation with Sam. Tommy's character doesn't feel like a man going in too deep, and the twist at the end doesn't come as a surprise OR that the characters had decent motivation. Detective Norman speaking to Tommy in the diner to frame the story isn't written nearly as well and feels like it's taken from a bad mob movie instead. Overall playing this game is like looking at your highschool sweetheart 20 years later only to see her with ugly plastic surgery and sagging boobs. Go play the original, don't waste your time here. Don't waste your time on the pointless collectibles or the lifeless free-ride mode. The remake didn't add anything to a great game, they only made it worse.Show moreShow less

The new graphics, combat system and also the small changes to the city are all well done and you can still feel the 1930s spirit of the original Mafia game. The story as well as the main characters have been altered quite a bit...however it still is one of the best crime stories available in any game to date. to all players, who loved the original game and consider buying this remake...let me just point out a few things, so you do not end up disappointed due to wrong expectations...as i did: - in most missions the chases by car / on foot and longer drives to get guns etc. are shortened or replaced entirely by cutscenes. - Sidemissions are gone. You also do not get any "free time" in story mode...its just one mission after another. - you will not keep the cars you bring back to the bar, but unlock the type of car in the garage once you enter a car. You can spawn one these unlocked cars in different colors at the beginning of most story missions. - stop engine without exit, use indicators and all that stuff is not possible...its much less focused on the cars as the original game. Basically like in Mafia 2/3. - Freeride mode no longer let you earn money, buy guns or savegames at the bar. Instead you start at the bar, where you can change outfits, spawn cars or get guns (all for free)...citymap is daytime and traffic is mostly 1935+. I have not found a possibility to change any of these settings. - Freeride Extreme: One of my most favorite features in the original game (spent 100s of hours to collect all cars and get them home without a scratch) is missing entirely. Therefore all the special cars are missing as well. So all in all...you get a good remake of the story mode. But you do not get a good remake of the whole original game. I personally can not recommend this game for the full price due to a massive lack of endgame possibilities. EDIT: After reading a lot of helpful comments here, i gave the free ride mode another shot. And i stand corrected on a few points of my review: - It is possible to change the time and weather (by "using" different paintings within the Bar) - There are also a few challenges available, that are similar to some of the original FR extreme challenges. As Rewards you get special guns, outfits and special cars. So you actually do get something to do after the Story...which is good and i also like to point out that this extra content is really fun to play. For me it just does not replace the FR extreme mode. Its not just that it had more missions and cars. It also was, depending on your personal goal really really challenging. I wanted to have all cars in perfect condition inside my garage and due to space probs on the lawn in front of the house. As the repair service was closed in FR extreme you would see every mistake made on the return trip each time you look at the car. So beside the sometimes ridiculous hard challenges, the ride home with the prize was equally stressful. But as soon as the car was parked in the right spot...i was happy like a stamp collector finding the final stamp for his album. Sounds strange...but it was an amazing amount of fun to get out of a video game. The Remake Version on the other hand is far too easy. Its almost like it aims to make sure the player succeeds. Let me give you an example: Both versions do have a challenge where you need to bring a car with a fuel leak to a garage across town: Original Game: i failed a few times, until i found the perfect route through all the gas stations and i arrived with nothing but hope and momentum at the finish line. I later wanted to add the leaking car to my collection, so i put it in neutral gear and pushed it very very gentle with another car step by step back to a gas station...took me like an hour to finally get it to the house. Remake: i had to stop at two gas stations on the way and i arrived with like 25% gas remaining. Didnt need to bother with getting the car, as it does not save any parked cars. But i can respawn it at any garage anytime....fully repaired. On another mission you have to drive "crazy horse" within a time limit to a location... sounds extremely difficult...until you realize the car handles pretty well and you can just pedal to the metal this thing through town. In the original game it was called "crazy horse" because it actually handled like said horse. But enough now, i suppose you get my point. The remake version is a good and fun game. would recommend it on sale though. And if you are, like me a fan of the original mafia...just try to see it as an independent game and dont expect them to be anything alike. it is a playworthy game and who knows maybe there will be a few mods in the future.Show moreShow less
Totally worth it!!! Recaptures the original game perfectly. Tip: Disabling 2K launcher will fix the stuttering. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mafia Definitive Edition\mafiadefinitiveedition.exe" %command% enter that in launch options to bypass 2K launcher.Show moreShow less
Negatives/Things I did not like: Missions and Narrative: 🅞 Visiting Rich People. The villa level design has changed and not in a good way. Before you could do the mission stealthily but now the safe alarm is triggered no matter what, ruining the stealth element. The whole charm of that mission in the original was to do it stealthily and leave with the glorious Silver Fletcher. 🅞 The bank job is not as exciting as in the Original. I still remember the thrill of casing the bank and hearing the plan from Paulie (who back then was more mature and intelligent and less of a man baby). In the Defintive Edition the mission happens very fast and feels dumbed down. 🅞 Lucas Bertone no longer sends you to do jobs for him. The treasure hunt mechanic for finding the rare cars is barely explored… 🅞 Lots of driving portions were removed to accentuate the movie feeling. I personally would have liked to have them like in the original. 🅞 Paulie and Sam's voices are very similar. Also Paulie seems too much of a crybaby and less of an impulsive gangster like we are used to. Gameplay Cars: 🅞 The ability to Dodge/Ram cars which actually makes hand breaking redundant as the ability can make the car steer sideways and keeps it glued to the ground. Very helpful in the race mission (finished it very fast on Classic difficulty) but overall reduces the realism and makes driving feel arcade. 🅞 Car physics. I don't understand how a game that was released 18 years ago can have better car physics than what we got today. In the Original, depending on the speed and the angle of the crash, cars could lose wheels, bumpers. In the Definitive Edition you can crash at 120km without considerable damage to the car, character and other traffic participants. The cars that you crash into at high speeds fly like they are weightless (Classic Difficulty + Simulation driving) 🅞 Tommy is no longer taught how to lock pick cars. He already knows how to pick them all after a cutscene. In the Original he would gradually learn how to pick each type of lock for every model. They decided to go with the quick and cheap way instead of trying to add more depth to this mechanic that was so important in the original. As a fan I would have wanted to see a lockpicking mini-game like in Mafia 2 or something similar 🅞 The horizontal axis of steering is way too fast making any car feel arcade when turning, unless you modify the steering sensitivity when playing with a controller 🅞 There is no animation when filling up the tank at the gas station like in the original Police behaviour: 🅞 The plate numbers are not remembered when evading the police like in Mafia Original and 2. The Wanted status is lost when going outside of the search area. 🅞 Pedestrians are not reacting to lockpicking. Stole over 40 cars and only once a pedestrian called the cops on the highest police difficulty 🅞 Killing an NPC in the middle of nowhere without witnesses will automatically trigger a police report and a car will be dispatched to investigate in blink of an eye 🅞 In the Original cops were using street police phone booths which is no longer the case in the Definitive Edition. Enemies/AI: 🅞 Too many enemies that are too easy to kill even on the hardest difficulty. 🅞 Morello seems to have over 10.000 soldiers under his command for Tommy to kill while Salieri 10. For me this type of gameplay breaks the immersion and automatically makes it Arcade. I would prefer fewer encounters with less enemies... but those enemies to be 10x more deadlier. I was hoping the game would feel heavier where any confrontation can be your last 🅞 The AI is not very bright (Classic difficulty) 🅞 Companions can now absorb infinite damage like sponges without dying. The confrontations no longer feel tense knowing your team cannot die. User Interface: 🅞 Too much guidance even on Classic difficulty. The game takes your hand and guides you to whatever you have to do. One of the strongest points of the Original was the sandbox vibe and the liberty it offered (more like in Hitman where you have to figure things out yourself). Missions feel a lot more scripted and linear and less exploration oriented. Other: 🅞 Free Ride could have been a lot better by allowing to earn money and spend them on various things such as clothes, car improvements, weapons, etc. 🅞 Outfits are cool but not being able to mix and match clothes is a bit of a bummer. In 2002 would have been hard to implement but now, with the current tech should have not been a problem. 🅞 Some animation feel weightless, such as throwing a molotov or shooting the tommy gun. Things done right: 🅞 Graphics. Extremely beautiful car models and characters 🅞 Narrative changes in some regards 🅞 Music and Score 🅞 Collectables and the fact that are displayed on the map when in near vecinity 🅞 Expanded Country side 🅞 Extreme Rides and Weapons side missions Overall I think it was a great effort to bring back to life the masterpiece that Mafia 1 was but they missed on some key points, probably because this was treated as a side project within Hangar13. I'm giving a negative feedback only to attract Hangar13's attention. Maybe they will take our feedback in consideration. Either way, give it a shot and decide for yourself. The full price is more than decentShow moreShow less
