I really liked this one. One of the most enthralling mafia stories i've got to experience.
It's honestly really amazing how well the story carries this game because everything else is kinda trash. The gunplay feels sloppy, and driving is okay, but the world also feels flat which when you are comparing it to other open-world games, it just heavily falls short. It's really just the amazing characters and acting that help pull this game across the finish line. Each chapter feels eventful and a real piece of a greater story. If possible I would just experience the story and forget the actual game.
one of the best games i've ever played, it's a game that, i'm playing and the hours pass and when the game ends, i say;
" holy shit, it's the end already?! "
" holy shit, it's the end already?! "
Pros:
-Fun gunplay and mission structure. I loved the assassination levels, the church shootout, the brothel bombing; all of them utilized different mechanics to do something different with the limited capabilities the game offers.
-The map is large and easy to navigate, without being too cluttered.
-I like the characters, and the story is decent.
CONS
-Good GOD, 90% of this game is DRIVING. Even if you skip the transitions, most of the game is still just DRIVING. It gets old FAST.
-Map is big and very empty. There is no side content in the main game, and the free roam content is inessential when it isn't punishingly difficult.
-Collectibles are lame and not worth seeking out.
-Plot is rudimentary, and you can see the "twist" coming from a mile away.
All in all, I had fun, but not nearly enough of it.

the fantasy of being in a mafia came true nevertheless the gameplay was very bland with a very limiting environment (not having open world aspects killed the game for me)
But with the bad comes a very compelling story.

This game really nails it's presentation. From the detailed city, to the large variety of vehicles, to the music and radio broadcasts, it lets the setting of prohibition era America really come to life.
Unfortunately that’s where the good pretty much ends. The story starts off okay but becomes the most predictable gangster fare imaginable, while still managing to feel fillery despite how short it is. Couple that with janky driving and some of the most uninspired gunplay I’ve seen in years, all playing in smooth 30fps on the ps5 and you get a game that is sadly a lot more forgettable than its solid foundation deserves.
