Mafia: Definitive Edition is more than just a crime game—it’s a gripping, character-driven drama that feels like playing through a TV series. Having never played the original, I was completely drawn into the world of Lost Heaven, a city that breathes with life, from its bustling streets to the quiet, intimate moments in smoky bars. The atmosphere is rich, the 1930s setting dripping with style, and every corner feels meticulously crafted to pull you deeper into it. And what a story it is. This isn’t just about mobsters and shootouts—it’s about people. Tommy, Paulie, and Sam are written with such depth that their bond feels real, their struggles genuine. The voice acting is phenomenal, especially Tommy’s weary narration and Paulie’s rough-around-the-edges charm. Their dynamic is the heart of the game, full of camaraderie, tension, and tragedy. Even Sarah, adds a touching layer of humanity to the story. Her scenes are some of the most memorable, offering quiet respites from the violence and making Tommy’s journey all the more compelling. The pacing, unfolds like a drama with slow-burn tension and explosive payoffs. It never overstays its welcome, yet every mission feels meaningful. That said, the game isn’t flawless. Some technical hicks—textures taking a second to load, shadow flickering, and occasional bugs—break immersion. The shooting also feels intentionally clunky, which I’ve heard is meant to reflect Tommy’s inexperience (unlike Vito or Lincoln, who have military backgrounds). It’s an interesting choice, though it can make combat frustrating at times. Compared to Mafia II, this feels more focused but less free. I missed the open-world sandbox elements of GTA or even Mafia II’s more explorable city. Still, the trade-off is a tighter, more emotionally resonant experience. Mafia: Definitive Edition isn’t just a remaster—it’s a love letter to storytelling in games, proving that sometimes, the most powerful tales aren’t about empires, but about the people caught in them.  

Its alright. Story and characters are interesting, each mission is pretty unique and they weren't too hard on classic difficulty. The open world feels like its lacking anything to do other than picking up random collectables which you have to do if you want to 100% but that feels very tedious to do. It goes very cheap on sale so wait for that.

Firstly let’s get that straight , I like this remake I really enjoy the story of Tommy Angelo and gameplay. The city looks beautiful and music is incredible. The reason for negative review is due to recent changes to Terms of Service made by Take-Two and 2K which gives them legal rights to ban you for using mods or VPN and additionally collect your data without your consent. In a nutshell, you can be doxxed by playing their games. I strongly recommend to stay clear from their titles for a while until this gets reverted as this is unacceptable. Hopefully Steam temporarily disables sales for these games as they are spyware at the moment. It is a massive shame that corpos are getting this low in gaming industries.

[u]Pros:[/u] + stunning 1930s visuals and immersive atmosphere + amazing linear story + excellent pacing + cinematographic cutscenes + radio with authentic music, after-mission news reports, and discussion of historical happenings [u]Cons:[/u] - sometimes controls and cover system feel clunky - free ride open world mode feels very empty

Great game, Best to go when you dont have the time for those boring rps, its an immersive action movie. although the character development is average, you get connected to them. Voice acting is great aswell. This is how you remaster a game. absolute banger

In order to play this game you are also required to let 2K record your name, address, age, sex, bank details, all of the files on your computer at all times, and come into your home and photograph the contents of your fridge. fuckers.

Deleting the game and never playing it again due to the new terms of service, thanks 2k. I'll never play or buy a 2k game again.

While I would not say it is a must-play, it is not a bad game and certainly a novel experience for me to be playing a mobster in the 1930s. I don't regret my time with the game; if this was a scale of 1-5 I would rate it 3 or 3.5 which is a decent rating. There's a lot Mafia DE does well. The characters in the main cast are well acted and are strong personalities. The game looks good and you visit some pretty locales through the course of the game. The gameplay itself however felt like I was doing the same stuff repeatedly for whatever reason, which is my main grouse with the game. The shooting especially and driving felt somewhat awkward for me. It's not terrible and I did get used to it, but it still was such that the missions felt more on the 'pretty' side than the 'fun' side. To be fair, the game doesn't intend to be this bombastic fest, it is a gritty tale with missions that reflect that. The game did begin to feel too samey to the point where I was 3-4 missions from the end but I felt I had my fill of the game. For the crime drama enthusiasts or even those that like period-pieces, this game is a nice choice and its story is not too long (even if I didn't see it all the way!) but still a good one. So I would recommend it but with the caveat that it was okay but felt bit monotonous for me, so if that doesn't bother you then Mafia 1 DE is worth trying out. And if it does then it might still be worth it on a discount sale, though it's not a game you have to have the FOMO about. That 'shoot the turrets' part of that one mission...ugggh

The game has issues. I'm surprised they haven't been fixed them. I guess they thought they can rush this game and release it hoping it sells without testing it. Or if this is how it was from the original game, I'm surprised they didn't improve upon for this version. They left the issues from the original version to this version? There are animation issues. There are camera issues. There is a lack of aim sensitive. If you're going to make a game, include the camera sensitivity as well as the aim sensitivity. Visually it's a good looking game. It's not going to wow you though. It's a game you'll likely finish and uninstall. A solid 5/10 for me.

This was okay. If you're a fan of Mafia stories, you'll definitely like this one. The Godfather game from 2006 was better, tho. That feels a complete Mafia experience

A graphical remake, obvious enhancements to lights and effects and better character mechanics thanks to motion capture tech, taking cover and cover shots has been added to the gun fight better melee mechanics and unfortunately rolling has taken away from the game play. All in all it's just about graphics if you've played the original game like me you won't miss many things, game play and story wise.

So far the nostalgia factor is hitting in this game. The definitive edition is miles better than what it was on the original Xbox. Have not encountered any bugs other than not being able to play the game in fullscreen, for some reason it freezes my game. Not too sure why so I just play windowed. This is a great remaster. Highly recommend.

This is one of my childhood games I fondly remember, so of course there was no way I'd miss out on the definitive edition. At times I had a few problems with the inputs on the Steam Deck, so that I could navigate the menu, but not in the actual game. This could get fixed though and after that it was just a pure joy to relieve this great game once again. I was really happy that they kept the classic mode as well even if I felt my age, where it was way harder than I had remembered. All in all I got what I expected and really enjoyed this game.

So this is a game that's been out for more than 5 years and it's still buggy as all hell. Keyboard remap? - breaks the game. Cut scenes? Freeze up and have to be skipped. It's a shame because it LOOKS great and I'm sure these blips could easily have been fixed with patching....sadly as it is it's a disaster. Just to explain this in more detail - you can play the game almost fine with a remapped keyboard until you get to the chapter called "walking Sarah home" - here the last guy you fight is invulnerable unless you revert to the original keyboard mapping. And even after and before that you will likely have had to skip cut scenes because they just froze on a single image. This may have been passable if remapping the keyboard didn't mean that you can only make one melee hit at a time for the entirety of the game.

Game itself is cool and I personally love the mafia series. There is some bad game design and technical errors, but the biggest problem is truly the race mission. I do get it that nowdays story games are too simple and I like the idea of an actual challenge in a story game. But this is not a race game. People do not buy this as a race game, don't make the hardest mission a race, if the game ain't bout racing.

I don't care what anyone says. This game and the entire series is absolutely AMAZING. I would suggest this game to anyone who loves Italian movies/games like Goodfellas and the Sapranos (which are shows and movies). I played this game all day and I fell in love with it immediately I love this game and the people who made it great job you have my approval.

Story was cinema... but fr if your going to platinum this game. The race sucks major cheecks. But overall solid story based game. Combat is solid a little buggy at times (very rarely for me) not that hard. The character were really good that you could see them as friends. So heavilyyyy recommend if just to experience it and it is a pretty east platinum excluding the race.

Absolute banger of a remake! This is exactly how you're suppose to redo an old game. Kept the mood authentic and improved everything from graphics(obviously), to gameplay and voice actors. It introduced people to a game they may have otherwise never played and miss out on the best mafioso experience in a videogame. While I certainly prefer Mafia II as an overall game, this one captures the mood of The Godfather and other classic gangster movies the best. The downside is that the world, while very beautifully designed, is literally just a setpiece for you to drive in while going to the next story part. There's no side activities or anything meaningful to do outside the main quest. But well...the original was the same so it's just how it is. It's not a game made for exploration. 9/10 as a story game

Just finished the entire game in 9 hours. The story was incredible, and the graphics have been remastered. It is a visually astounding game. I cannot recommend this game enough. From the story to the music to the graphics, it was all well done! I cant wait to play mafia 2, and 3. I Highly recommend this game if you want a short, intense game.

Im sure the game has a good storyline but i cant even get the game to launch just a black screen. If i do get the game to open cant get it in full screen without turning v sync off and on or the game freezes up. Then the last straw was going into the first cutscene the game froze up. Seems like a fun game but it is a buggy mess would not recommend buying.

The closest game there is to fantasize about the glamour of the 1930's american mafia One of the best video game settings I've ever seen. Great story as well The only downside is that the game feels more like a movie at times. It's heavily packed with cutscenes, which can break the immersion of your game session and make it seem like everything else is secondary to storytelling 9/10

I had a great time playing Mafia: Definitive Edition. The story was gripping and cinematic, with a classic mob vibe that pulled me in right away. Tommy’s journey felt real, and the missions kept things exciting. The city looked amazing, and the atmosphere was spot on. A few mechanics felt a bit old-school, but overall, it was a cool, memorable experience.

Great game! Interesting story and characters

Mafia is not GTA, anyone who expects that should be disappointed. It's a highly atmospheric crime saga with a superb story and well-voiced characters. I really loved the writing of this game. The characters are quite fleshed out and behave like real people. I liked the character of Sam especially, torn between his friendship and greed ultimately paying a heavy price for his loyalty towards his boss. Graphics are top notch, and it plays quite well with my old GTX 1060 6GB. I was quite impressed with the facial expressions of the main characters, side characters look flat though. environments are well designed and feel lived-in. Few technical hiccups still remain even after 5 years of it's release. Gameplay is serviceable, I enjoyed the car chases and cover based shooting, though there could have been many improvements in those departments. Overall I rate this game a solid 7/10. Recommended to play atleast once.

Если просто пройти сюжетный режим на лёгкой или средней сложности, то может показаться, что это изумительная игра с прекрасным сюжетом и саундтреком, с отличной графикой и интересными заданиями. Но если копнуть глубже, то сразу поймёшь, что это нифига не просто красивый ремейк хорошей игры, а ужасающая игра, созданная демонами в лице Hangar 13 и 2K в пучинах ада. Попробуйте играть только на классическом уровне сложности, пройти все побочные задания и собрать все ачивки. От этого приключения ваша задница будет пылать каждые 10-20 минут, если не меньше на определённых заданиях. Объяснять долго и бесполезно, так как это нужно прочувствовать на себе. Просто скажу, что разработчики этой игры либо мастера троллинга, либо ленивые рукожопы. Скорее всего всё сразу. Все эти факторы заставили меня засесть в этой игре надолго, однако я насладился игрой сполна. А вот чем я не наслаждался, это: ужасный в моментах геймдизайн (я про вас, непробиваемые кусты), сырость/недоработанность игры (сперва это может быть незаметно, но если проходить на 100%, это становится серьёзной проблемой) и скучное собирание коллекционных предметов, за которое даже ничего не дают. В любом случае со своей задачей игра справилась - она ничуть не отстаёт от своего предшественника, и даже обгоняет его во многих аспектах. Как например добавление доп. сцен и раскрытие персонажей.

This DE was great all around. Solid graphics, great story, fun car physics. Frustrating race and a few changes from the original. Would recommend the Series on sale to anyone who enjoys Mob Style stories with lots of things to collect afterwards in the open world.

Genuinely such a great game. Mafia grips you from the beginning with a great car chase and the game just never lets go. The gameplay is pretty fun and offers a great mix of stealth and action. Where the game is best though is the story, a great story with characters that were brilliantly written and by the end of the game where there is payoff after payoff in the story is amazing and very unpredictable. Could not recommend more, some of the best hours I've spent in a single player experience.

%90 of the game: Try to beat fair play mission Remaining %10 (if u still diddn't refund it): Rest of the game

[h1]Introduction[/h1] Mafia: Definitive Edition is an open-world, third-person shooter remake of the original Mafia game, developed by Hangar 13 and published by 2K. Set in the fictional city of Lost Heaven in the 1930s, you play as Tommy Angelo, a Sicilian-American cab driver-turned-mobster within the Salieri crime family. [h1]Pros[/h1] [list] [*]Gorgeous graphics. [*]A fantastic story with great characters. [*]A beautiful and detailed city to explore. [*]Good driving physics. [*]Realistic mechanics such as stopping at red lights, filling up your tank and obeying the speed limit. [*]Good gunplay. [/list] [h1]Cons[/h1] [list] [*]Bad borderless windowed implementation. You can see your taskbar after restarting the game on borderless windowed. [*]The fullscreen refresh rate is locked at 60 Hz, for whatever reason. Download [url=https://github.com/Filoppi/reshade/releases/tag/v4.6.1] THIS [/url] and install it into the game directory to fix this. [*]Forced TAA. It makes the game look like a blurry mess and the implementation is so poor that vehicle wheels and pedestrians have bad ghosting issues, more so than the usual. [*]Washed out colors. [*]The lock-on during car chases is clunky. [*]Collectibles. [/list] [h1]Conclusion[/h1] Despite being a bit of a technical mess with issues that should've been fixed before the game came out, Mafia: Definitive Edition is a fantastic game for those who are into crime dramas. It delivers an excellent experience for both new and old fans of the series while also modernizing a now extremely dated game.

I can honestly say, with all my heart, that this game has taught me about family. Honor. Respect, and most importantly that's how mafia works 10/10

Tried everything I could find online. Game refuses to launch for me. Waste of time and money despite amazing story. Not worth your effort.

I played the game in 2024 and it was perfect. But now we're here in 2025 and the game doesn't launch anymore. Even running it as administrator won't help. I wish this problem existed back when I bought it so I could get my money back.

i have tried repeatedly to get this game to run, nothing works. installed on both drives, launched directly and with the launcher, installed and reinstalled repeatedly and still nothing. just a screen grey with 30fps, sometimes 99 fps, in the top right from steam and it just stays there until i give up and close the game. when i first installed this game months ago for the first time it actually gave me the launcher and its contents but now if i launch the game with the launcher it just gets skipped apart from showing the visual after for mafia before going away and giving this grey screen. this is awful, i really want to play it but it's genuinely unplayable for me. i can't recall having this kind of problem with any game in recent or distant memory. launching issues have happened before with other games but they were all quickly addressable. i don't know what i can do for mafia 1 when now i can't even get to its launcher. if someone had this issue before and somehow got it to work please tell me how you got this game to work in the comments. additionally, i am also having this same problem with mafia 3. the only game that has actually run out of the box is mafia 2.

Serinin fanları bu oyunu nasıl beğendi anlamak çok zor, oyun aşırı boş hissettiriyor duygudan uzak karakterlerin mimikleri orjinali gibi değil fazla itici gameplay aşırı ortada kalmıs ne olduğu belli değil araba fizikleri de biraz daha modernlestirilebilirmis oyunda keyif alabileceğiniz çok bir şey yok şimdi diyebilirsiniz bu oyuna büyük bir bütçe ayırılmadı falan umrumda değil, koskoca mafia 1 remake cidden bu kadar basit olmamalıydı. Bu arada salladıgıma bakmayın sehir çok güzel ve eğer mafya temasına aşırı bağlıysanız net oynarsınız ama jrpg oynayan birisine önermek için hiç bir sebebim yok amkaekfoaejıopgjjıpfjnıpahjengoaejfgopjh

Amazing remake of the greatest gangster game ever made. After, let's say, divisive Mafia 3, Hangar 13 knocked it out of the park and made the best game in series. This remake achives something that 99% of remakes fail to do - improves on original. All of the extended scenes like the banter between the main trio Tommy, Paulie, and Sam, or additional scenes flashing out Tommy's and Sarah's relationship make the story, relationships between characters, and narrative so much richer. Also I've seen some people complaining about black screen and crashes - I had none of that. From intro to the ending credits I had 0 technical problems. Maybe I was just lucky. 10 slices of gabagool out of 10.

Like watching a great movie with a great story, actors and so well directed. I usually dislike remakes, reboots, recycling (especially movies) but this one was done perfectly: they made an entirely new game apart from story and characters, and even the story and characters are vastly improved (no idea why some deluded 'fans' prefer the original game.

This is an amazing game with great story. The city is absolutely beautiful, designed masterfully. Sound design is top notch. I really want to recommend it, but it misses the point. What is the point of a remake, if there is not going to be any improvements over the original? This is a rusty early 2000s game, in a modern shell. Gunplay is a$$, you are pretty much a stormtrooper. Considering the non-existent accuracy of the weapons and sponginess of the enemies, the game is also very stingy with the ammo. Stealth doesn't work at all, while there are lots of stealth missions. And the biggest offender, the driving. Slightest mistake and the car slides and spins until the end of the world. Hitting a wooden chair on the sidewalk? Too bad, that chair was made out of titanium. There are lots of tailing missions, and you pretty much have to drive absolutely perfect. Any mistake and there are no recovering. AND THE RACING MISSION. The infamous IMPOSSIBLE racing mission. How on earth you "REMADE" this game without touching the racing mission? Are you crazy? What kind of a ret4rd greenlit that?

I never had the chance to play the original mafia game but seeing how i have the chance to play the remake i decided to do it and its definitely a great game loved it

Never ever seen a car mechanic worse than this. Some people say "But its old centuries old cars they cant perform like modern cars" Its beyond that point. I was tolerating with it while driving the "taxi" but the race was the last straw and i did a insta alt+f4 after 10th try. Im saying this as "picking the most hard diffuculty person". I love to try again and again to conquer it but this mechanic is not hard its complete stupidity and makes the game unplayable.

The story line is 10/10 mafia styled, the only thing i hate about this game is that random ass race. i am stuck in it for hours now and from the bottom of my heart i hate that section, if the purpose of it is ragebaiting me, congrats, you are successful, stopping me from my 100%. i hope the creators of this level be fixed in a gas chamber with CO gas.

best remake so far in gaming industry,if u didn't play classic mafia now its time to experience this magnificent story,worth every penny buy it now

really short but excellent story. most of the characters are likeable and the ending fucking destroyed me because of this

TLDR: Easily one of the best games I've played recently with great animations, driving, gunplay and story that makes the game and the characters feel actually alive and that you are a part of this world. Played and completed on hard mode with simulation setting for driving as its really fun to just drive around as it gives you the feeling of how heavy the car is and the camera movements during fast cornering is quite cinematic too. Gunplay is also quite nice. You don't get to carry much ammo so you have to aim nicely and in hard setting enemies are strong so you need to know when to pop out of a cover and shoot. The game really feels alive with the animations and little details. When you stop aiming and start running it even has a small hopping like animation which you can see in movies etc. that makes the characters feel more realistic at least in a movie like fashion. There is also how the game actually makes you feel the flow of time with newer car models at later missions and them becoming more common in the streets too. Only downside is how hard the "driving" missions are by which I'm talking about missions where you have to catch up to someone. In hard or classic difficulty, the ai gets massive buff to their driving speed and capability but its a nice challenge just really hard to recover if you make a mistake. And lastly the big point which is the story. I absolutely love it. I really wish it was longer as I feel attached to the game now and unable to play anything else lol. I was playing quite casually and with a mouse that has a RMB that sometimes decides not to function or double tap so I died a lot when trying to aim and had to take things slowly even then it took me 13 hours to finish. I'm not much of a singleplayer guy and prefer co-op or online games however this will be among my all time favourite games and will return and replay it time to time. Hot take: If devs made an open world online mode to this game like gta5's online, they could milk it for 10 years just like rockstar did and still doing with the gta5 online.

good cinematics and gameplay one of the best ever

A great narrative game. Looks and runs beautifully, wonderful characters and just a very good back to basics. This game knows what it is, and has fun doing it.

a fine 3rd persons cover shooter. The story is pretty standard mafia fair. Just dont expect a GTA style game. there is an open world but the story automatically goes from mission to mission. There is no money, no gear, no easter eggs to find.
