It's tough to not feel like Lincoln Clay deserved better than this.ĭigital Spy - Kirk McKeand - 2.5 / 5 stars (PC) Most damning, it's rarely in tune with itself, often contradicting itself in big ways. It's dated, has obvious flaws, and doesn't hold up particularly well when compared to a lot of modern works. Like the era it paints, Mafia III feels like a relic. Whether you replay it depends on how enthralled you are by the adventure and if you can tolerate the repetition.ĭestructoid - Brett Makedonski - 5 / 10 (PS4) Still, it’s a good game that’s worth your time for at least one serious play-through. Unfortunately, it lacks technical polish, and the mechanics aren’t much better than anything on the market, let alone offer anything new. Mafia III is an ambitious game that tackles serious, relevant themes. What a disappointment.Ĭheat Code Central - Garrett Glass - 3.5 / 5.0 (PS4) Mafia 3 is a classic case of style over substance, where its slick setting and story can't make up for tired open-world gameplay.
