Mafia II: Definitive Edition is one of my favorite games that I regularly return to, especially in winter. It’s incredibly atmospheric and captures the spirit of the era like no other. The story is one of the best in the genre—engaging, dramatic, with charismatic characters and natural dialogue. The shooting and cover mechanics feel satisfying, and I personally enjoy the driving, even though some may find it repetitive. After all, the focus here is on story-driven missions rather than an open world. Unfortunately, the side missions were cut. The remaster slightly improved lighting and textures. I personally had no issues with optimization or bugs, although some players have reported problems. Mafia II is a masterpiece. I spent countless hours in the original version—it’s truly a childhood classic for me. I highly recommend it to everyone. My rating: 10/10.

Man, i have some mixed feelings about this game. To begin with, it is called a definitive edition, which should mean that if there are any bugs, graphical or audio issues, should have been fixed, however, the classic Mafia 2 is more polished and clean off bugs than this. I have gone through most cut-scenes without any music or sound, for some weird reason it was off. There were times when both Vito and Joe would talk over each other and i could not understand a thing or one of the characters would repeat a sentences 5 times while another was talking normally over the 1st character. Besides that, the combat felt annoying, but not because the gun-play or fist fighting was bad, it was actually fantastic, but the amount of health i have is just too low. I get it, the devs were aiming for the game to be more realistic, but 1 or 2 bullets and i was dead. That sort of realism is great from the beginning, but it gets to a point where it is just frustrating. There were not any visual bugs, at least not any i can recall. Now, the main part, the story and the characters. I will not lie, the game feels a lot like the first. last two chapters were kind of predictable, because it is that similar to Mafia 1. I knew what and how it would end and to my absolute no surprise it ended exactly like that. Overall the story is rather simple, it follows the main character Vito, who used to be an ordinary kid, but because of his father and a mischievous friend Joe, he became obsessed with money, women and material wealth in general and that lead him to cause trouble to himself. I like Vito, i really do, but despite all the praise he gets, i think Tommy from Mafia 1 was better, not only as a character, but also as a guy who was trying to get out of the struggles he faced. I really liked how the story was told in the first game, although it was rather difficult to understand from the beginning, it gave me an unique view at the end. To concluding what i am saying, this is a good game with many flaws (notable audio), good character development, good gameplay, but if compared to Mafia 1, Mafia 1 takes the cake. I just felt more connected to Tommy and other people, here Henry was great, but he disappeared at once then came back like 10 chapters after, Joe was okay, but he was predictable often times. Anyway, i will not stretch it any further. Play it yourself, everyone seems to love it and i m probably the only one who simply just liked it. Actually, lastly, i have to mention this. The game has this weird cult like following, where if you disagree with them and say that "i did not really like that game as much you did' then apparently you have no taste in games or you are a clown for not liking it and i kind of get it, but it simply was not as good as you guys make it out to be, it is good / okay

The best mafia game in the series. Brilliant story, amazing setting, one of my favourites ive played through a million times (my first start-up of the remaster recently and I love it! It does look & sound better - so it modernises it a little). The crash bug did happen to me, as with everyone else and was so annoying but can be stopped easily.. You can get around the annoying crashes on start-up by blocking all outgoing traffic for the game in windows firewall: In Windows Defender Firewall, delete all "Mafia II: Definitive edition" inbound rules, and right-click outbound rules > New rule > create an outbound rule > Program > Select Mafia's exe file located in the install folder > Action - "Block the connection". You can still unlock achievements, it will just lock out 2k's rubbish and prevent login - which is no bad thing anyway as all it is doing is sending you adverts on the main menu... lol

It's questionable if this remaster is actually an improvement on the base game. The positive review here is mostly accredited to Mafia 2 being a good crime game and being fun to play.
