A third person shooter, adventure game. Set in the fictional city of New Bordeaux (based on New Orleans) in the year of 1968.
Review:
If anything to go from Mafia 2, Mafia 3 should've been the greatest game to come out of 2K Games. The developers boasted a large map, immersive environment and an engaging gameplay. The trailers had hyped up the game to be a true successor of Mafia 2 in terms of graphics, gameplay and storyline. Mafia 3 managed to ge the graphics and maps alright but the missions single handedly ruined the entire game.
To say the game was a disappointment would be an understatement. It somehow managed to have poorer game mechanics than Mafia 2, an underwhelming storyline; which felt 'artificial' and last-minute. I felt the characters were poorly developed and not as engaging as Mafia 2.
The graphics were not too bad, New Bordeaux was a beautifully made city coupled with period correct cars and music; the game managed to bring some amount of immersion.
However the lengthy, often predictable and repeating missions.
But perhaps the last nail in Mafia 3 coffin was (IMO) the release of GTA 5 on PC and on newer generation consoles (especially the addition of GTA Online) GTA had already taken up the audience of a crime-action-shooter game. Leaving little if not nothing for relatively smaller studios (like 2K Games). And compared to the "new" GTA the Mafia 3 had little to offer.
Would you recommend this to other users? I'd say if you haven't played Mafia 1 and 2, then for sure play Mafia 3; standalone it's a pretty good game, however missions in the game have little in way of originality and after a while they become repetitive and annoying.
Rating (1-5):
