Reviews from

in the past


The most repetitive game I've played. I still don't know why I finished it.

Some of the best writing, performances, music, licensed songs and atmosphere in a game I've ever played. The gunplay and driving physics are really solid too, loses a half star for the repetitive nature of some of the minor missions though.

First and last DLC are really solid, 2nd is mediocre. All 3 are free now.

Remember what I said bout Mafia 2?

Jesus christ.

My Mafia 2 review:

“This game taught me that is perfectly valid to have an open world game that’s just there to be driven around. It doesn’t have to be filled with extra content to add something valuable to the experience.”

Si juegas la primera hora tienes la experiencia completa.


This game is underrated and overshadowed by GTAV bc there's an uncanny similarity. But the mafia groups that you can join are super cool and the MC is badass.

This would be a 4 stars if it was just the best bits but sadly it's not, stop thinking that having story choices and RPG systems makes your games better, it doesn't.

Lembro em 2016 quando joguei esse jogo o hype tava muito alto, as campanhas de market... nem se fala até na TV você via anúncios desse game. Porém quando finalmente foi lançado... decepção total para muitos. Eu particularmente falando gostei do game, acho que ele tem uma história que no começo parece ser muito boa e até te prende por um tempo, porém conforme o game vai se desenrolando a gameplay dele que é bem genericazinha e um pouco cansativa acabam desanimando bastante no game, incluindo afetando até mesmo a história já que a gameplay e seus objetivos são ligados diretamente com a história do game. Porém não é esse bicho de sete cabeças que todo mundo diz não, comparado com os outros games da franquia máfia 1 e 2 ele fica bem atrás... Porém se você vê ele como um game sozinho e esquecer por um segundo os games anteriores ele fica bem ok até.

the only reason anyone remembers this game is for that one streamers mom telling her son to go to the bathroom because he's shitting himself, and he just refuses as she screams at him because he's too busy playing the game, even though he wasn't even doing anything in the game at that moment and was just going in circles climbing boxes

"POOP IS COMING OUT OF YOUR FUCKING ASSHOLE" is this game's eternal legacy

I hate that a game with such an amazing story, banger soundtrack, nice gameplay gets shoved into such a generic open-world formula... If they didn't try to make a 8-hour game clock ~30h, it could've been one of my favorite games ever.

People seem to hate on this game but I find it to have a good revenge story and even if it has a repetitive missions and objectives, I find the gameplay so addictive with the third person tactical gunplay and combat executions.

Kina overhated but by far the worst game in the trilogy

Could be a great game, but it's too repetitive.

it's REALLY repetitive, but still very good

Tenebroso!

É incrível como esse jogo é extremamente cansativo. A história não é lá tudo isso, e a repetitividade das missões, a quantidade de coisas desnecessárias para fazer até continuar progredindo, sidequests chatas tornam tudo muito arrastado.

Mas o que falar dos bugs? Meu deus do céu! Em quase 50 horas de jogo, eu passei por exatas 17 crashadas e incontáveis npcs voando, carros batendo em coisas invisíveis, boneco travando e por aí vai.

Para finalizar o completo suco de fezes, o jogo roda terrivelmente a 900p e 30 fps, extremamente mal otimizado no videogame.

A única coisa que salvou foi a trilha sonora, pois de resto foi uma experiência bem ruim.

I didn't finish it but this is one of my dads favorite games ever so I'll take his word.

This game had a janky release which is why I didn't get it. Its gotten better with time but it's not as good as Mafia 2 and other games just overtook it. I will get back to this at some point.

The best gameplay in the series, and a vastly underrated story. Unfortunately, the missions are very repetitive for this 20+ hour game, which in turn makes the gameplay boring and only as a mean to get to the story bits.

Story isn't bad it's just the gameplay ruins it so much

Good story, but repetitive gameplay.

Moral of the story: Never make the filler content in a open world mandatory

Worst Game Ever. 99% cutscene, 1% repetitive gameplay. The story is Woke propaganda nonsense. The graphics are more like 2008 games, even worse when compared to GTA IV, Even somehow they managed to be worse than Mafia 2. I can't think of anything good about this game.

Hard to say whether I'd recommend this game or not so let me put it this way:

If you want a generic game that is alright in story and gameplay, I'd say try it.

If you're expecting something similar to the other Mafia series it will lead to disappointment.

Every now and then, Bad Moon Rising re-enters my head and I have a flashback to Lincoln Clay cruising through the rural roads around New Bordeaux. The aesthetic of this game is incredible. Despite quitting early, moments like these stuck in my head. The story was promising too, and the gang set-up with 3 underbosses was a good idea.

Unfortunately, Mafia III goes hard away from the open world of its predecessor (I haven’t played II). Where the pacing and structure of Mafia: Definitive Edition overrode my apathy towards it, pulling me through the game, the severe repetition of III drove me away. When I was in the empty parts of the world, I loved it. When a mission was more handcrafted, I enjoyed it well enough. But its just such a slog of an open world.

I would love a version of Mafia III that actually told me Lincoln Clay’s story, that leaned in to the vibe of driving through sad streets to the sound of contemporary rock. But this game wants you to check off a lot of lists.

Mafia III is my first game of the Mafia franchise, so I will make this review without the influence of other Mafia titles. The game is an action-adventure game and was released in 2016 by 2K.

First of all, this game is amazing, I love the theme of this game, as also the graphics of New Bordeaux. OMG, the soundtrack, is glorious, I loved every song, so yes, I spent a great amount of time driving rather than walking around the streets. Yes, the missions become repetitive after some time, but still, the story is thrilling and fun.

All in all, I never got bored playing this game even though it is not the best one, but still it got its own charm.


I wish the game had a better focus in its story and more fun side activities to do. This game just feels so basic, was very interested in it after playing some Mafia II.

Subestimado, apesar de algumas coisas repetitivas na gameplay e um lançamento de performance esquisito, é um jogo extremamente divertido e bom narrativamente.

The fuck? As soon as the story started going I already discovered what the gameplay formula was and stopped playing.
