On the whole, most characters are written well, but the game is at its best when focusing on specific characters. While it would be easy to devolve into a bunch of stereotypes, the game deftly avoids such clichés. That tone is at its best when it comes to its cast of characters (even though, like a lot of mafia fiction, it ignores its women).
Mafia: Definitive Edition doesn’t have an obsessive Rockstar-esque amount of environmental detail and contains its share of technical mishaps like screen tearing, pop-in, and long load times, but the extra horsepower is better at establishing the 1930s gangster tone that is so essential to the game. There is just a lot more going on and that extra activity injects exponentially more life into a city could only slightly evoke the tone it was going for back in the early 2000s. Instead, it takes from current design through its graphical prowess that helps set a more convincing scene with an appropriately excellent jazzy soundtrack.īetter lighting drapes across the town and streets are more lively because of the greater amount of people that roam around and more eye-catching, brightly lit buildings. Thankfully, it’s not a map filled with hundreds of icons and meaningless side missions that so many open-world games from this generation have. Hangar 13’s work on the city of Lost Heaven is obvious and immediately noticeable as a 2020 game.
