In just 13 days, fans of the Mafia franchise will play the next iteration, Mafia: The Old Country, the first new Mafia came in nearly a decade. Ahead of its release on August 8, developer Hangar 13 has been showcasing different elements of the game, from its story on the origins of the Mafia itself to its old-school gameplay elements, like horse riding and old-timey weapons.
The prequel may be linear but it still seems bloated with uninteresting gameplay.
That said, not everyone, particularly long-time fans of the series, is convinced that The Old Country looks like a good game.
