Review on ๐Ÿ•ด๏ธ Mafia Definitive Edition Xbox One: Immerse Yourself in a Thrilling Crime World by Andrey Marinov แ Œ

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice product, happy with my purchase and may buy again.

Players familiar with the first game will have a blast with this sequel, grasp the plot immediately, and dry their evil tears. It's still the Mafia, albeit simplified in some areas. It's a non-issue whether you play the game or not if you haven't seen the original. To be clear, neither Grand Theft Auto V nor Red Dead Redemption 2 are set in 1930s America. The open landscape is sparse, unremarkable, and strictly functional for getting from A to B while taking in the characters' conversations. There are no open-world city adventures to be had in freeride mode other than tedious pursuits by law enforcement. The amount of time needed to complete the game may be cut in half if the travel time between tasks in such a "open world" was removed. Second, not everything that's cool to do right now can be done in games. Few weapons and vehicles are available, and there are no unique events, character progression, or customization options like as clothing or weapon skins. You won't be able to talk to strangers or interact with random things. Thirdly, the engine is brand new, yet the game looks depressing for 2022: the visuals are lackluster, not even matching those of Grand Theft Auto 5, which came out 7 years ago and was perfectly suited for PS3 (the previous generation of consoles). Even if I've already played Mafia 2022 on PS5 (despite the fact that I know it was launched for PS4), the statement still stands that GTA 5 on PS3 looked better. Finally, you won't find any co-op pages, storm dynamics, Hollywood blockbuster-quality special effects, or painstaking attention to detail such as the representation of cigarette ash on the floor of a room you enter for 20 seconds once every game. In the case of a hotel mission, for instance, each guest room might be designed to resemble a sheet of carbon paper. New players should know that this is not a reimagining or a re-release of the original Mafia, but rather the same game from the early 2022s, although with a different graphics engine, and that this is important context before purchasing. In light of the repercussions.

Pros
  • For those who have played similar games, this is the Mafia, so there's that. Those who haven't played are missing out on an engaging narrative, great 1930s America setting (complete with cloche hats, trench coats, Prohibition, and Tommy Guns), and fun gameplay.
Cons
  • Yes, this is the same Mafia, and this is its biggest drawback for previous players. Graphics improved from the 2022s to the 2022s, yet on the 2022s, it looks flat. - May not be essential. Absolute linearity may seem impolite to gamers of the year 2022 because to the game's lackluster visuals and awkward animations. The vast environment is lifeless and boring, representing nothing of interest. Yes, and a lot more besides
