If you're a Mafia Fan, a few heads up.

Mafia 3, feels wildly different from Mafia 2. Whilst you may no longer be the sluggish boi Vito, You're Clay, the crack head vet with a love for knives.

The Story Pacing is quite lacking and takes a fun documentary story telling approach where you get to relive set pieces through flash backs, outside of those missions sadly. The Very, VERY repetitive mission structure for flipping the city hits you.

The first section I enjoyed clearing out... but once I got further into the game, the reality soured on me and knew alot of the fun was going to be left up to me as the player when it came to tackling the 100s of the same mission types. So if anything, experiement, have fun, and try to approach each senario differently in order to keep things fresh.

The Gunplay, Pretty good. Its satisfying turn a man's knee into dust, and to watch him crumble to the floor clutching at the wound. But outside of the new unique deaths and physics given to enemies, comes a quirk. The AI is either all A. or more I. Sometimes its smart, other times its like you're taking them out back to be put down because they've glitched, ran into a wall, or are frozen in fear.

Sadly Speeding doesn't have a consequence and the Cops are really just there to keep you from turning the whole place into a shooting gallery. You can't even start random fist fights anymore. Whilst the graphics are an improvement, nothing else really gets as much love as the paint if you understand me. Even Car customization is pretty limited. The driving is also a point of contention.

Its a Fun sandbox, but they really dropped the ball making this Open world versus the linear story telling that the previous games excelled at. So be warned.
