It says it works on Windows (7, 8, 10, 11), but after the logos, a black screen appears, and the game freezes. I don't know what's going on with GOG, but they definitely need to check this out. I also tried the Steam version—same story. I might just get the Switch version; at least that one will work without issues. PC Master Race, GOG, and community fixes fail to deliver once again.
I beat this game twice at least. It's open world-ish, but it belongs to the linear adventure style. You go from point A to point B, you can't do secondary missions. There's a free roam mode though, you can explore, collect stuff, do challenges, etc. By the way, linear doesn't mean bad. The story is amazing, it feels like a good gangster movie. The only downside is that there's a missing content from the original game.
This entry doesn't disappoint when it comes to action and obviously a silly story. At the beginning, the game starts a bit slow making you use very few and boring weapons. As you progress the game gets more entertaining, you get to kill hordes of creatures with different weapons. The normal difficulty is considerably hard to me. So to those who are new and don't wanna die a lot, easy mode is the best way to experience this crazy adventure. As for the issues, the textures load as you progress on my rig, also sometimes the autosave can be annoying when it loads you during a moment when you're about to die, and lastly, the loading times are somewhat slow, all of my games load pretty fast only this one makes me feel like I'm on an old PC. In general, I didn't experience serious glitches or slowdowns. Nothing prevented me from enjoying the game. It could've been 5 stars, but the issues are considerably annoying at times.
It's my favorite Shadow Warrior. This time the game's inspired Doom and Doom Eternal featuring a big long rope, but that's fine even Halo Infinite has something similar. Wang's jokes are back and are fun to listen. It took me like 8 hours to beat the game on normal excluding the last boss because I haven't slept all night and I wanted to beat the game faster. For those who are perhaps more experienced will probably beat it in 6-7. Despite being somewhat short, the game looks gorgeous and the new enemies are fun! There are some small Doom and Serious Sam references too. Overall the game's worth it if you're into FPS!
Super fun, but I wish the game had Italian audio too. It's the closest language to Latin today. Still 5 stars!
The other collections which Konami released are much better. Don't see a point buying this one.
The port's is OK, but it comes with very few options. The modes from the console version aren't included either. 2/5 since it doesn't have much to offer. You're better off playing the console version.
Sure it's not like the previous 2 games, but the story and the characters pretty much remind you that you're playing another good Mafia game. The missions are repetitive, but at the same time doing them is rewarding. You earn money to purchase weapons, cars and upgrade your character.
Played the PS4 version of Mafia II DE and it had a lot of technical issues like frame drops, flickering particles, etc. Later, I decided to play it on PC, but then I read that it's pretty much the same in terms of glitches and bugs, so here I am purchasing the original version which is at the same time DRM free. All I can say is the experience is definitely better. As for story and gameplay, Mafia II is pretty similar to its predecessor, but this time around the world's bigger and you can do more things in it like buy clothes, tune cars, purchase weapons, etc. The story to some is better. I don't know, I played Mafia DE never the original one and to me both titles are amazing.
I really don't know what's the point having this game here if it's not DRM free.
