Omerta: City of Gangsters (4 DLCs included)

Wasted potential

At first, I was excited. Perhaps this would be similar like XCOM? Except for Gangsters: Organized Crime. Bring the old game to modern era. Too bad I was wrong. So wrong. Game is like playing Monopoly against yourself. You never fight against anyone, police are not a real threat at all. They are just occasional bribe, or even worse... you use them to get rid of your few competitors. That never do anything. You never feel like you are running a gang. All merchandise, from Beer to Firearms, just appear. Supply chains are so small it's sad. Your gang is restricted to max 6 person, with only 4 being able to fight in few combat sequences. There are no other gangs to speak off. Story wise, they exist, but in game you never deal with them. So called "war" in one mission plays just like every other mission in the game, except your "special missions" have slightly different descriptions and combat missions are scripted to appear. If you are still interested, check the demo. Play it. After that, imagining doing that for the entire game. That's it. Demo shows everything there really is. Full game just gives you two more buildings and something to use your Clean Money for, but otherwise... it's the same. There is no interesting new mechanics that are introduced later in the game.
