Assassination #9

Hello everyone!

One more game beaten, I loved Mafia I and really like Mafia II, i was really excited to play this game but got a little disappointed because it doesn’t feel like the previous games on the series.

History: For me it’s one of the best things on this game, it’s a bit different from the other Mafia games but it kept me playing and wanting to check what happens next, the characters are great and feel alive.

Gameplay: Combat and gun play are well done, the game has upgrades for the the weapon types. I have mixed feelings about the driving one this game, is well done for some parts but feels clunky in other’s. I got some bugs where i couldn’t speak with NPC’s to continue certain missions, but a game restart solved it. Now, what i think it’s one of the worse things on this game, the missions are so repetitive, you just do the same thing over and over again, sometimes you even go to the same places, i started the game taking my time in the missions, but halfway trough i switched to Rambo mode and just did most of the missions the fastest possible.

Graphics/Visuals: Characters on cinematics are awesome, really well done, the environment is really nice too. The reflections suck and there isn’t many graphic options on the game. The game was a bit blurry too, but i used a reshade that solved that problem. Performance isn’t the best too.

Sound/Music: The soundtrack on this game is amazing, and there’s some nice little details, like when you enter a tunnel the radio gets interference, gun sounds are really good too. The only thing I didn’t liked about the sound is driving sounds.

Sign of the Times DLC: This is the only DLC i got, still thinking if i should get the other’s, maybe ill get them on sale. This DLC adds a secondary story, it is a nice and creepy story, you get some extras too when you finish it.

Overall and despite being a little disappointed i still think it’s a good game for it’s history and soundtrack, but expect to get a bit bored on some missions. I think if this game had less missions or different ones it would be a lot better.
