There's an incredible sense of weight to Lincoln's action. Light or heavy, the situation demands and he supplies. When the bullets go flying and some goon makes a concerted effort to dramatically fling himself over a railing– sorry, but how am I not supposed to love that shit?
This game rules. Flaws? More than a few, but I'd play ten more games of Lincoln Clay carving a path of destruction through racist trash.

Going into this, all I read were ngative reviews that focused purely on the repetitive gameplay loop.
What's actually just benath this veneer is a powerful narrative and story, with fun gunplay, VERY well written characters and amazing set pieces. Yes, there is a repetitive gameplay loop in there too, but the systems that combine to make this loop are satisfying and fun to engage with.
Would heartily reccommend this game - come for the cool atmopshere and setting, shoot some racists and gansters, stay for a compelling story, full of memorable characters and callbacks to the older Mafia titles.

The combat is really fun. The cutscenes are very well written with great dialogue. Those are the only two good things I have to say about this, because the story itself is a generic revenge plot and the gameplay is that of a Ubisoft-esque open world with mindless repetition and almost nothing else to do.
While I completely understand and even agree with the complaints of this games repetitive nature, I never found myself not having a good time with it. Just rolling through New Bordeaux with a youtube video on in the background made for some of the most fun evenings I've had with a game in a while. The characters were quite fun too and I truly think it earned it's ending.
(You can refer to the plethora of negative reviews across the internet to see the things I didn't like. I just wanted to say some nice things about this game for a change)
