Mafia III Game Review

Others/Miscelleneous by stefan @ 2016-10-10

Mafia III is a very ambitious project from Hangar 13 and has required quite a bit of work to make it happen and the open-world environment is great! There are of course bugs which you will encounter if you mainly wander off and navigate through the rich environment, meaning that the game was mainly thought for you to follow the story line and not concentrate on other activities. In most of the situations, the game details are great, the story is being told in a unique way like a documentary and we also did like the fact that you can have other allies in order to take down the Italian mob which has betrayed the main character. The driving experience is available in both Arcade and Simulation modes, while the shooting scenes are pretty brutal, well done, while sneaking behind the enemies is another route we can take for completing the objective.

The Options menu allows customization of controls, general game settings, display settings and audio settings; the latest game patch allows unlocking from the initial 30FPS to 60FPS or Unlimited, which makes the overall game experience smoother:

 

 

The last tab allows us to load a checkpoint, restart the mission from the beginning, work with the 2K online account or exit the game:

 

 

Right after we start the first campaign mission, it won’t be long and we will have to start driving; the cars are rendered with nice details, the lights turn on automatically during night time and we have the current speed along with the RPM in the bottom center area of the screen, as a retro dashboard would look; a handy rear view camera is also displayed on top, while the destination we will have to reach is drawn on the map (they did not have GPSes during that time did they?):

 

 

Mafia III does also come with four camera modes while driving:
