Mafia: Definitive Edition
A well made remake of the original. I would say the gameplay consists of 3 parts that are balanced rather equally: combat , driving and watching cutscenes. This is a story focused game, so watching so many cutscenes is not a bad thing, though it might annoy you if you need to quit the game but there seems to be no end to the cutscenes at that moment.
The shooting and sneaking part works fine, I played the game on classic difficulty, which is the highest available and taking a hit does serious damage to you. I wish enemies were as fragile on classic difficulty, as it can take up to 7 hits to kill someone , if not hitting the head. They also do not seem very bothered in their behavior or animations, that they have been hit several times. There is a stunned state enemies can get into if they are nearly dead, but that does not feel quite right. There is also melee combat, which is rather basic with only one type of attack and a timed dodge. The driving part is what I had to get used to. In classic difficulty, the driving is set to simulation and you can not change it. That makes the vehicles play very differently than most modern racing games. While braking, you can not steer. There is a good chance you will spin out of control if you take a corner too fast and especially with the cars in the beginning you will feel them struggle to drive uphill. All that makes the driving interesting though, even if it results in having to restart some sections multiple times. There is a race in this game too and boy is that absurdly difficult on classic difficulty. That could easily be the deal breaker for someone. The presentation of the game is consistently good, the city looks way better than the characters though. Performance was good too, but the game gets really buggy if you die a lot, from suddenly missing sounds to infinite loading screens to cutscenes just showing a black screen. All in all, I enjoyed the game and its story, but the combat could have been better.

A neat little card roguelite with a superb presentation in regard to audio and visuals. Quite addictive but can frustrate quickly as well if you are unlucky. Biggest problem I have with the game is the fact that if you buy the soundtrack on steam, it sounds like a nightcore version of what is played ingame, as the music ingame is constantly slowed down quite a lot.
