Mafia 3 Reviews
Mafia 3 is a very disappointing game. The game is boring and repetitive and the graphics are quite bad.
The story and setting in Mafia III are compelling enough to get you to battle past many of these flaws – just to see what happens next – but the multitude of flaws do leave a sour taste in the mouth. There are multiple endings on offer, but these are based solely on one final decision at the end, meaning that there are no consequences if you play the entire affair as a ruthless killer, and no real reward for sparing lives – aside from a small cash boost, but you will never find yourself short on money. As such, the missions sadly turn into a grind just to reach the endgame – just to find out how Lincoln's tale ends. A repetitive and bug-laden affair, the gameplay and mechanics just don't do justice to what is a finely balanced representation of racial tension in 1960's America.
Mafia III is all about getting even after nearly getting killed and being the sole survivor when an ambush happened on family and friends.
Mafia 3 is an unfortunate reminder that a game can truly excel in one area and still wind up disappointing. With confident storytelling and consistently fantastic performances, Mafia 3 effortlessly establishes a narrative that has you engaged from the get-go. Sadly, it's the ho-hum mission design and various technical oddities that will drag you out of the world time and time again.
Mafia III has some great characters and a lovely world to explore, but it at its core it is an uninspiring sandbox game, of which I expected more.
By weaving history and a biracial lead, Hangar 13 succeeds in delivering a compelling narrative with set pieces that resonate as one of the best this year.
Mafia 3 is a game with many flaws but ultimately a good successor to the Mafia franchise with a great story and yet another strong lead character.
Mafia 3 is all about Lincoln Clay's rise from the bottom. It's a good old fashioned single player experience that wants you to be suckered in. And you know what? The writers, developers, and actors all deserve your undivided attention whenever a character opens their mouth. Invest in Mafia 3's narrative and you'll be rewarded with a payoff that'll have you begging for more. Gameplay is strong, even if it is a little bit on the samey side of things after a while, but with such a large map to explore and side missions and meaningful collectibles to, er, collect, there's no chance you're getting out of New Bordeaux in under 20 hour
Hangar 13 tells a great story in Mafia 3, pitting Lincoln Clay against those who took his family from him. Great characters, solid dialog, and some top-notch motion capture flesh out the world. Unfortunately, the open-world nature of the game kills the story pacing with a repetitive mission loop. Mafia 3 could've been great, but it's just good.
Mafia III is a competent open world action game with an excellent story. Sadly, repetitive side missions, technical issues and brain-dead AI drag down the overall package, turning what could have been a masterpiece into a more mundane affair.
Mafia III is easily one of the most try-hard console titles of 2016.
Graphically the game is stunning, however the glitches that are blindingly obvious cannot be ignored.
