This might be one of the worst games I've ever played. How the hell do you release a game without an audio slider, without control mapping, and without party creation IN A PARTY RACING GAME. If it had those things it still wouldn't be worth it as it's just a bare bones "game" that is not worth 10 cents, let alone the full price or discounted price. Do not buy it unless they add those things, if and when they add them you can buy the game on sale

I was hoping it is similar to mafia 1 and 2, and it is just that but set in Italy. The attention to detail, characters, map design, interior design, story, graphics, music, everything is just perfect. I am surprised the game runs as good as it does considering how detailed and beautiful it is. It reminded me a lot of Mafia 2 with the slower pacing, which is great as Mafia Definitive Edition felt a bit too fast.

I don't remember the last time I've felt this immersed in a game. It's just beautiful. You can tell the developers put a lot of soul into making the game, as it is pouring out of every corner of the game. The world is so beautiful I can basically smell the vineyards.

Just like Mafia 1 and 2 this is not meant to be an open world game, it has an open world, but it's there to make it more grounded and not just be a bunch of levels. That works in my opinion, I don't need 150 radio towers to climb, 500 things to collect and camps to eliberate in a Mafia game. It just felt nice driving and riding around the world to the next mission at my own pace, stopping at places I found interesting.

The driving and shooting feels incredible too, seeing Enzo shift gears from 1 to N, from N to 2 and so on just looks so nice. I think the shooting in this game feels the best out of any Mafia game so far. There is a real feeling weight and recoil when shooting the guns. The melee combat felt really fresh too as we haven't seen anything like that in a Mafia game so far, and it feels right for the time period. The game does feel more linear than previous games though.

The music is really fitting and memorable too, it just adds to the experience so much.

The attention to detail to the characters is insane, even the most random NPC's look so real that I took like 100 screenshots just so I can look at them and wonder how they managed to make them look that good.

Performance is a thing I see a lot of people have trouble with, but personally the game ran on High, with DLSS on Quality/Balanced perfectly. I don't need 500 FPS in a game like this, you don't need to hit trickshots and pixel peek. Even lowering the resolution helps a lot and the game looked basically the same.

People will complain about anything even when a game is good . The no swimming thing is really not a big deal, you can't swim in Mafia Definitive Edition, or Mafia 2 either , and I never saw people complaining about that. You don't hate on a 4X strategy game for not having a cooking minigame in it, do you?

In conclusion if you like any of the previous Mafia games, especially DE and 2, you will love this game. It does everything those games did good, and does it just as good, if not better in some areas. It's an incredible game.

EDIT: The Free Ride update added a lot of cool stuff to the free roam mode and it just made the game so much better to play after completing the main story

Considering the game is still in early access I am willing to give it a fair shot. It has some mechanics that give it an edge over the first game. The only thing missing right now is maps and the survival gamemode. The current maps are great, but there is only 4 so far.

There are bugs, which I assume will be fixed in the future. The team seems to be actively working on the game, adding maps, weapons and quality of life changes.

I really like the game, I've played 13.9 hours over just a few days, I've been addicted to it.

If you enjoyed the objective mode of the original game, get this game on discount.

Great game overall. Has flaws obviously, but for a game made by a pretty unknown team, it is very worth the money. A friend and me sunk 21 hours in just a few days without even realizing how much time actually passed. Have had some stutters and fps drops every now and then but the overall game makes up for it. The base building is just great, although you unlock some basic things pretty late.

Would highly recommend this game if you have a lot of free time. In general it's an incredible experience that is full to the brim with atmosphere, and it managed to scare me more than any recent game I can think of. Just hearing a twig snap close to me made me terrified, especially if playing on harder difficulty where you lose everything if you die. The panic you feel when having to leave the zone is exhilarating. Absolutely recommend this to any fan of the Stalker games, The Long Drive, and it even reminded me a lot of Euro Truck Simulator. Must play game for at least the beginning part.

Edit: The devs are actively updating the game, fixing issues and improving things overall!

Doing this for the steam awards lol

If Michael Bay made a game.

This is actually the best game to ever exist.

Best game ever

Best tactical game ever made.
