Repetitive but Enthralling
I'll preface this short review by saying I'm a fan of both Mafia and Mafia 2, and have completed Mafia 2 a numerous amount of times. Mafia 3 is not a typical Mafia game by any means. It has very little to do with the Italian mob, it's much more focused on how an outsider gets his entire world shattered by them, and seeks revenge. The story, atmosphere, music and main cast in this game is all wonderful. It's a very gripping and intense plot that makes you want to keep on playing - but the core loop is really where you start to see some issues. Now, Mafia 2 received a lot of backlash for the fact that it's open world wasn't really "open", and Mafia 3 tries to fix that issue. In doing so, many, and I mean MANY of the missions are rinse-repeat. The 3 things you'll be doing between main story segments is either destroying some sort of target, killing targets, or interrogating targets (that will give you more information to kill or destroy more targets). This can get really tiring, and you have to do it from region to region in order to progress to the main story bits. That being said, the REAL more Mafia 2-esque missions are superb, and very fun to play. These missions are few and far between however, and mainly take place at the end of liberating a region. Now, just because this busy-work is plentiful, doesn't mean it's not fun. I personally find it enjoyable, but only in short bursts, and I really do find it gets in the way of simply playing for the story. I almost wish they would have added a "Mafia 2 Story Mode" where you just went from story missions to story missions, if you really didn't feel like doing all the odd jobs it took to get there. All in all the gameplay is really subjective, but the story (while not inherently mob-based) is very well done. Go into not expecting to play as another Vito Scaletta, but expecting to take the helm of a man who's had his entire life torn apart by the Italian mob, in an era with plenty of politcal and racial strife.
