My rating for this game would likely be much lower had I played the original mafia II because after seeing gameplay of the original, this is a really poor remaster as the graphics aren't all that much better apart from a few good looking cutscenes here and there and this game can get pretty buggy.


Despite that though, as someone who hadn't already experienced this game before, I really enjoyed this game for the most part. The characters are really engaging and the story is fantastic. Not massively overblown and dramatic, alot of the activities within this game seem really realistic as to what would go on in an organised crime group.

The melee combat, while extremely simplistic, is very fun. The guns are nicely authentic for a post - WW2 game but I don't find the gunfire to be all that satisfying, it's a little bit flat.


I liked this game for the story largely, the charm and realism makes it a really fun playthrough but like I said, as a remaster it's very flawed
