I don't understand why this update was needed. It's not as stable as it was before, and forces extra middleware (Epic Online Services).
Some problems have been fixed from the Steam release, but overall, it is still a significantly worse experience compared to the console versions. Disgraceful.
Despite the soudtrack problems, which can be fixed with a single mod download, this is the original Mafia exactly as shipped, with the same moody score that does ship intact for the game. The story is still brilliantly crafted and well paced, and even though some of the smaller roles can have funny sounding voices or seem somewhat awkwardly written, and the racing section................. Anyway, you never feel like you are taken out of the story, that just like the sequel that followed it, is at its core, a well crafted story with a very highly detailed city, with some old sensibilities that some would say were sadly missing from Mafia II and the other one that came out a bit later. Although it sometimes feels like it has aged a bit poorly, the games theme builds for a brilliant story, world, soundtrack and you quickly forget that the game looks somewhat ancient as you end up immersed in the city of Lost Heaven. A quality buy and recommended for anyone interested in Good Old Modern classics.
The combat doesn't hold up well, but as it stands, Morrowind is the prime Elder Scrolls experience, featuring everything that makes the franchise brilliant, and without sacrificing the essence and personality of itself or the genre it inhabits. An essential buy.
It's dumbed down compared to Morrowind, but improvements to make combat flow better and the faster gameplay will please a lot of people.

It might have screwed up the lore so badly that Obsidian ran away to the other side of the country to avoid mentioning it, and the world may feel empty at times, but now that it's officially non-XBOX LIVE'D there's a good reason to give it a go.
