Story

175 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In the original Mafia, the redemption arc, the greater purpose, is what made the story finale so iconic.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
102 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
When it comes to mechanics, it is very, very close to the new remake of the original Mafia.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
65 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As a 2020 remake, I expected fancier graphics, but it still looks solid overall.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is composed of ear-catching oldies from that time, and I can comfortably say it's among the best I've ever heard in a video game.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The shooting part is a bit iffy and it’s not as realistic as in the remake, but the close combat system is better here, even though it’s still very plain and simple.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The cops are really tough in the game and the character looks and moves more realistically than in other similar games.
