Mafia II: Definitive Edition needed more polishing for sure as it is filled with technical issues that could've been avoided, the game in itself is worth playing provided you can ignore all the technical shortcomings.

Mafia II stood out during the last generation of consoles for all the right reasons. This is why it is not surprising that in 2020 it is as entertaining as it was before. Sadly, Mafia II: Definitive Edition turns out to be a remaster that is far from reaching the heights of the original. It is not a catastrophic product at any means, but Mafia fans deserve more.

Mafia II: Definitive Edition offers a fantastic tale combined with a solid set of visual upgrades. Unfortunately, it is hampered by bugs and some missing quality of life upgrades.
No game has me feeling like a member of a mobster family, quite like Mafia II!
Mafia II: Definitive Edition feels like an aged title of an earlier gaming generation, while almost perfectly capturing the feel of a mobster movie.
While Mafia II: Definitive Edition may be an uninspired revisiting, it does aspire to deliver a steady cinematic experience.
If you liked Mafia II when it was first released, this package won't disappoint you as a revisit but if you didn't like it 10 years ago, this version really doesn't do anything to change your mind.

Although Mafia 2: Definitive Edition is full of bugs and glitches and the gameplay feels a bit dated, it is still a fun experience especially for the fans of the series, and as soon as updates and patches start to roll out, we can expect a much more stable game.

10 years ago, Mafia 2 was one of my best experiences in video games, but now Mafia II Definitive Edition is a "not so good experience" just because of its awful remastering quality that is one of the worst and even adds some new problems to gameplay. Story, level designs and characters are still amazing, but the game has so many technical problems with almost zero effective improvements.

If you are looking for a crime caper worthy of Scorsese, this is it.
With a full remake of the original game in development sharing the whole ‘Definitive Edition' title is, at least initially, a little confusing.
Despite not being a full on remake and still retaining the flaws of the original game, Mafia II Definitive Edition is a fairly enjoyable experience that, thanks to a good work of remastering, works decently ten years after its first release

Though it pulls a lot of the punches today’s open-world games freely throw, Mafia II is a time capsule in a lot of ways. Not only because its post-World War II Empire Bay lives and breathes only to have its face driven into the dirt by enterprising individuals fixated on the American dream, but because it’s a testament to the timeless, story-driven crime drama. The kind that became extinct once substance was forced to make way for Rockstar’s frenzied brand of mania.
Mafia 2 is still a game that’s worth playing, but if you own the original for PC, you’re better off just modding it. If you don’t own it, the Definitive Edition is only $20, and you get Mafia 2 Classic with it, so you don’t have anything to lose.
There's so much about Mafia II that feels like a relic of a bygone era.
Mafia II returns with Definitive Edition. A new opportunity to discover the history of Vito Scaletta with visual improvements. A plot full of violence, blood and loyalty. Empire Bay is dominated by the families of the most feared gangsters of the 40s and 50s. Vito will return from the war in search of the American dream, but will he manage to find a place in organized crime?

Mafia II: Definitive Edition only improves the original ten-year-old game and its DLCs very slightly, but if you haven't played it yet, there's plenty to like here.

Mafia II is back with gently enhanced edition. There should be more improvements, however it is still great game.

On the one hand, we have a nostalgic title that, despite not brilliant gameplay, we could still recommend it today. On the other hand, however, it is a version that would have really benefited from some even more significant changes.

A remastered old, single mission driven open world, with hi-res lights and textures on a basic fighting mechanic, helped by a well written mob story.
