Mafia: Definitive Edition is honestly one of the best remakes I’ve ever played. The storytelling here is just on another level — it pulls you in right from the start and keeps you hooked until the very end. You really feel like you’re living Tommy Angelo’s life, from his early days as a cab driver to getting deep into the mob world. It’s easily one of the best stories I’ve experienced in a game.
The graphics are a massive upgrade from the original. Lost Heaven looks absolutely beautiful — everything from the old-school cars to the city streets just feels so alive and detailed. You can tell they rebuilt everything from scratch and gave it that proper next-gen polish without losing the classic vibe.
Gameplay-wise, it gives you a similar feel to GTA — driving, shootouts, crime life — but it’s way more linear. You can’t just roam around doing side missions or causing random chaos like in GTA, but honestly, that’s part of the charm. The story keeps you moving forward, and because of that, the pacing is really tight. It feels more like you’re playing through a gangster movie rather than just another open-world sandbox.
If you love story-driven games, or if you’re a fan of the old GTA games but want something with a stronger focus on characters and storytelling, you have to try this. Mafia: Definitive Edition doesn’t just live up to the original — it completely blows it away.

Solid 9/10 from me.
