Mafia III had quite the negative backlash when it was launched.
At first, i couldn't get into it, i dropped it for a year and then came back and got the platinum.
I personally think its a good game, it has many flaws but also many positive things.
It has a solid revenge story with Licoln Clay as a protagonist, he is a great protagonist, the side characters are also good especially Vito.
I liked the theme and vibes of the New Bordeaux/New Orleans of the 60s-70s, the gameplay while repetitive after a certain point, its smooth and it just works really well, the shooting was good and even tho its not a stealth game, its really tempting to go all stealth sometimes. The district distribution system was also cool, you had to think about who to assign as the owner of the district and contemplate about the pros/cons of doing so.
I liked the dlcs, they sure added some value to the game.
The not so good part of the game is its repetitive nature, and for how long it drags like that.
The platinum was laborious, finishing the game 3 times took some time, and it was boring to say the least. Some trophies are glitched, i was lucky to not have any glitch on me (besides one trophy from the dlc, hence why i have the game on 99%ðŸ˜)
All in all, this game has good substance and its definitely overhated.
-Edit: Damn i forgot how great the soundtrack is! Over 100 songs and not a single one that's bad. I gotta give this game an extra 0.5☆ just for the soundtrack alone.
