Before trying to play this game on a modern PC it's recommended to install the 4 GB patch, which can be found in the Guides section of the Community tab for this game. If you don't do that, your game will probably freeze and/or crash after a few minutes of gameplay. The main attraction of this game is the story, and I think an average player will find it neat and will enjoy Vito and Joe's "bromance". It's a typical story about criminals who try to achieve the American dream by any means and face the consequences of their actions. You end up cheering for the main characters, despite the fact they're not very good people. The game's tight pace and lack of time-wasting filler content is also a nice change from your average open-world game. For those who want to spend more time with the game there are 2 types of collectibles: Wanted posters and Playboy magazines, the latter is probably some of the best collectibles in the history of videogames (for obvious reasons), but they do come with an annoyance – many of them can only be collected during specific chapters of the story, which means you'll have to replay the chapters in which you've missed them. Then there are the DLCs. I suggest skipping straight to Joe's Adventures DLC, since it's the only one that deserves attention and feels like a worthy addition to the main game. Its missions have good variety and take place in new locations. It's perfect for scratching that itch for more content that you might still have after finishing the base game. Jimmy's Betrayal DLC: it features no cutscenes except for the beginning and the end of the DLC, all missions are dull and uninspired, they ask you to either shoot or melee fight someone, or deliver a vehicle. As a "cherry" on top, the 2 final missions of this DLC recycle the locations that were already used for shootouts in the main game, making the whole thing feel like an afterthought, thrown together last minute for the release of the game. I only recommend it if Joe's Adventures wasn't enough for you and you don't mind consuming something a bit "sloppy". Jimmy's Vendetta DLC: same level of sloppiness as the Jimmy's Betrayal DLC, but at least the final mission takes place in a new location. Mafia 2 probably won't blow your socks off if you're new to it, but it can still be enjoyed for what it is – a simple drivey-shootey gangster game with a decent story.
Vito Scaletta's journey through the snowy, snow-globe version of Empire Bay is an absolute masterclass in period-piece storytelling and atmosphere. While the open world doesn't offer a ton of side activities, cruising around listening to the incredible 1940s and 50s radio soundtrack while running mob errands never gets old. The gunplay is great, the character dynamics are fantastic, and the gritty, cinematic tone pulls you right into the era.
Mafia II (Classic) is a fantastic story-driven game with memorable characters, a great soundtrack, and an immersive 1940s–50s atmosphere. The narrative and world are its biggest strengths, making it easy to get invested in Vito's journey. However, the open world feels underused, some missions become repetitive, and the gameplay mechanics show their age. Despite its flaws, it's still a highly enjoyable crime drama and a must-play for fans of story-focused games.
Great game and plays great on Steam Deck. I used GE Proton 11, max graphics locked to 60fps. I had one crash throughout my 33 hour playtime. The only real issue was, after exiting sleep mode, the audio would crackle for a few seconds before fixing itself and three times the audio would cut out for a while (only after waking the device up mid-play session) then it would continuously crackle until I restarted the game. Honestly though, that wasn’t a big deal and I’d highly recommend playing this on Steam Deck.
The game that made me sign up on Steam all the way back in 2011. Mafia 2 went through something of development hell - a lot of features were left on a cutting room floor: 3 different story paths depending on which mafia family player joins; reputation system; carrying guns in the car trunk and choosing loadout before missions; WW2 prologue open map; buses and subways and other cool stuff. But despite being a chopped version of what was originally envisioned, Mafia 2 is still a good period-piece crime story with colorful characters, style, and smooth gameplay.
