THIS is the game people have been raving about?
I think this game may have suffered from an image problem. Back in the day it was billed as GTA3 but old timey gangsters. This remaster seems to be presented the same way so I was very disappointed when I found out this is not an open world crime game in the vein of GTA and GTA clones like Saint's Row, True Crime et all Mafia is like playing a movie. It's little more than a series of cinematics with some linear gameplay between them. The gameplay itself is fine but there is no player agency or sense of exploration or adventure. If you get hit with a bat too many times, just reload the checkpoint and do it again with zero variation It's not bad, it's just boring The game does offer an open world to explore but it needs to be selected as a whole different play mode. In addition, there is virtually nothing to do in the exploration mode. The game mentions side missions and activities but finding and doing them is tedious at best. The open world is just a big empty thing to run around in If you want a sandbox game in the vein of GTA this is NOT that game no matter how much it seems like it wants to be
Is this helpful to you?
