I picked up “Mafia: Definitive Edition” cheap the other day (I’ve linked it on Steam as it’s still on sale for the next few days).

I was a fan of Mafia (the original from 2002) and felt it was cheap enough to give it a shot and I’m glad I did: besides the infamous/arduous racing level I found it to be very enjoyable overall.

I was sad to see that there wasn’t any “Freeride Extreme” in the latest version (this was bonus, fun, ludicrous content, available after completing the game) as it would have been a nice addition, the “Freeride” mode is likewise a little lackluster but the actual campaign is great.

What was the last game you finished? Was it any good?

    I got through most the first, but heard the rest weren’t as good. Which did you like the most?

      The first one is definately the best one in terms of the overall feel of the game and storyline. Both the 2nd and 3rd games are good and have elements of story continuation in them. On the 3rd one though, parts of the story did not keep me hooked and I did not feel invested in the character arch as much as the others. For me, great games, new and old, must have:

      • A compelling storyline
      • A believable or even relatable character arch
      • Consistency throughout so the story flows

      Graphics are not the most important thing in any way. I want to feel immersed.

      Feel that went on a little tangent them but you get what I mean (hopefully).
