Push square: “You’d be hard pressed to find a remake more faithful to the original than Mafia: Definitive Edition. It has a lot of respect for the original text, offering great cutscene directing, voice acting and a cast of characters that you can’t help but fall in love with. The game definitely betrays its age with depressing control and handling of vehicles, but following each other plot moves give enough reason to keep playing further.The story of Mafia: Definitive Edition and everything connected with it is relevant to this day, and it’s worth returning to it, even you know the plot like five fingers. “
Game Informer“Hangar 13 made an almost flawless remake that gave the game a more presentable look, which is fundamentally dated.”
PCGamesN“From great graphical overhauls to smoother gameplay, Hangar 13 offered what a remake should have. Just don’t expect the same amount of content from today’s open world games.”
Stevivor: “Mafia: Definitive Edition looks like a modern game, but retains the essence of the old, and it is this combination that really strengthens the strengths of the original” Mafia “.
