Critic Reviews for Mafia III: Definitive Edition
While not anywhere near as glitch ridden as the Mafia II remaster, Mafia III: Definitive Edition adds nothing more than the previously released DLC along with the very strange removal of Xbox One X support that was added to the original release after launch. Lincoln Clay's story is well worth experiencing a first time, but there is no real reason to venture back to New Bordeaux with this latest release as part of the Mafia Trilogy.
With a couple more years of open-world games behind us, I think it’s clear that Mafia 3 is middle of the pack. It looks good and sounds good, but the core gameplay tasks aren’t as tight as they should be. The story is well presented but lacks the spark you find in more straightforward RPGs. The documentary framing device is brilliant, but beyond that, there’s not much happening that you won’t find done better elsewhere. Mafia 3: Definitive Edition is exactly that – the definitive version of a so-so 2016 action game.
The Definitive edition of Mafia 3 not only hasn't improved on the original version, but actually added tons of new bugs and glitches to it, making an already not so pleasant experience even worse.

Mafia III: Definitive Edition is trying to resolve the technical problems of the original game. In this case, Hanger 13's mission is accomplished. But even this Edition, has a lot of problems and weakpoints in gameplay, graphics and leel design. Actually, story is probably the only perfect aspect of Mafia III and Mafia III: Definitive Edition.

Mafia III may still have a ridiculous amount of glitches yet its plot is fantastically gripping from start to finish. So, if you enjoy character-driven stories set in open worlds then you'll be impressed with what it has to offer.
When Mafia III originally came out because it was so far from expectations, it disappointed many fans of the franchise but I believe it deserves another chance and this Definitive Edition is a good choice for that second chance.

Those who have played Mafia III before, will not find anything to draw them back to New Bordeaux. However, Mafia III: Definitive Edition is probably the best opportunity to enjoy this story for the first time.
