Tommy Angelo is a grizzled cab driver who is trying to make a living in Lost Heaven during the era of prohibition, a restriction on alcohol giving way to a new wave of underworld dealings.
Still, I was engrossed with the life of Tommy Angelo as he evolved from a humble cab driver to a hardened gangster, even if the journey oftentimes felt stilted by rushed development and sudden plot twists that simply didn’t feel concurrent with how these criminal families operate. Step out line and you’ll be punished, which is an archiac relic of the franchises’ sixth generation origins. It’s far from a disappointment, although it doesn’t provide enough opportunities to explore its world and characters outside of a strict, defined narrative.
It’s a shame that the linear nature of the campaign doesn’t give you much reason to really explore it.Īfter the underwhelming reception of Mafia 3, it seems Hanger 13 hasn’t taken some of its biggest criticisms into account when crafting this ambitious reimagining. Imitating the likes of Goodfellas and The Godfather without a modicum of shame, Mafia: Definitive Edition is a faithful remake of the debut adventure, possessing a stunning level of visual fidelity that brings the fictional city of Lost Heaven to life with aspirational detail. First released in 2002, the original Mafia is fondly remembered by many, which explains why Hanger 13 has decided to recreate the entire experience for a modern audience. The Mafia franchise has often stewed in the middle of the open-world genre, failing to reach the height of its acclaimed contemporaries, yet still offered a picturesque take on distinct settings we seldom saw anywhere else.
