An excellent remake that provides an updated experience for one of the most captivating games of its time. Mafia: Definitive Edition is the perfect opportunity for fans and non-fans of the franchise to enjoy the beginning of the series in the best possible way, with incredible visuals. However, there are still problems that could have had a better rework, like a simplified gameplay in several points and an underused map.

The remake takes good care of the story with new cutscenes and dialogues that brings the Italian mafia vibe to life, although gameplay-wise the experience could have been much better.

For those interested in the story elements and the classic atmosphere, I advise them to give the game a try, but if your interest is only the gameplay, then other open world games might be more fun for you.

The definitive edition of Mafia isn't perfect, but the experience is charming thanks to its ability captures the soul of an exciting era to tell us one of the best crime stories in video games. The experience is enough to reinvigorate a game loved by many, but it falls short when it comes to fulfil its full potential.

The Mafia franchise again presents one of the medium's best-written stories, though the series still stumbles on building something special around that story.
Even with its faults, Mafia: Definitive Edition is a fantastic remake of the original game. Its story is as engrossing as ever, tempting you to play just one more chapter before hitting that quit button. And while the gameplay isn’t perfect, it’s solid enough to keep you entertained.
The hardcore fans of the original will find a lot to nit-pick. But they can return to the original, to remember how archaic it is, or can they try to beat the game in classic mode, "enjoying" the quirks of the original recipe. Despite the criticism, we have to admit that Hangar 13 managed to take an 18 years old game and make it work in 2020, without crushing its soul.
Gorgeous remake and feturn of classic Mafia game in great form. Do not be afraid, join a Gang.

Hangar 13 have done an amazing job in modernising Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven into a truly powerful narrative experience, one which I hope that fans of the original will be pleasantly surprised by.
Mafia: Definitive Edition is a must-play for any fan of the franchise. Although it doesn't quite have the narrative cohesion of Mafia II, it still offers a memorable and gripping story that's set in a gorgeous virtual adaptation of 1930s America.
Mafia: Definitive Edition is a fresh coat of paint on a bygone era, adding flashy graphics to gameplay mechanics that definitely could have used the same overhaul. While it's clear that the publishers of the game recognized the limitations of the remake by employing a reduced price overall, this is one case where I imagine a remake of the mechanics and story would have taken the game to new heights and made this a more fulfilling experience.
Mafia: Definitive Edition is a shining example of how a game should be remade. While there are a few issues related to the PC port, animation quality, and how well the gameplay has aged; the updates were focused on maintaining the spirit of game while bringing it into the modern era.
Mafia Definitive Edition is how a classic game should be remade. It keeps the soul of the original and pulls the title back into the modern era of games. The amazing story is kept intact with only a couple of changes here and there, including a totally new cast of voice actors. It's only a pity that the new version of Paulie is not up to snuff. Besides that, however, Hangar 13 has done an amazing job to introduce the original Mafia to a new audience and the game deserves to be played.

Mafia Definitive Edition puts a nice graphical coat of paint on a dated, yet much-loved classic. However, while the story and characters are just as good if not better than the original, its gameplay mechanics fall short and performance even shorter.
Mafia: Definitive Edition is a beautiful retelling of a cult classic, but struggles to stand on its own against a game market that's left it behind.
Mafia: Definitive Edition is a great remake. Hagar 13 treated it with respect, staying true to the original material, while bringing it to 2020 with a much-deserved technical revamp.
