Fantastic game... at first
I didn't bother with the rushed remaster, so I went straight with classic, which itself already felt rushed. The game's strongest point is the story. Dialogues are very well written and the performances are pretty good most of the time. The story has a good start and a strong follow up. It kept me hooked for days, looking forward to how the crime empire falls, since that's how all mafia stories go. Sadly, I was disappointed during the last chapters. Without going too much into spoilers, the segway into the climax and ending feels weird. In fact, by the time the credits rolled I felt absolutely nothing. I even doubt the final cutscene is over a minute long, the whole sequence feels very incomplete, totally unlike the first 10 chapters. For a game that kept me hooked to the very end, it was very disappointing Being the first Mafia game I played for more than an hour (and the fact that I got this for free), I don't feel ripped off. It deserves the praise it gets and at times it could definitely match the greatest mafia movies of all time. The characters, plot and setting is very memorable and I liked every single character. Also, robbing stores is simple but really, really fun, lol. This is definitely worth checking out at a good discount, but keep your expectations low for the ending.
