Decent game. like a 6.5/10.
Every mission was just stealth->shootout->car chase.
The sewers were pretty cool.
I usually just waited in place and waited for these fools to come and get a headshot.
I felt stressed af during the
"If they catch you get an abortion" stealth mission :damn:

This game was very disappointing. I had really high expectations going in when they first revealed the trailer but the game felt like a remake of an old game.

The controls are straight from early PS3 era. They force you to do knife fight for all the bosses but the mechanics are so bad that it’s frustrating to actually do these fights.

The first 4 missions are wasted on a tutorial like missions. The game really doesn’t pick up till chapter 5.

I don’t mind linear games, I actually prefer them but this game is linear beyond. You make a wrong turn with your horse, now you are stuck in bushes or grass.

The story was also pretty mid if you were expecting going in wanting some Tony Soprano shyt.

The two best characters were Tino and Isabella who carried the game, rest was whatever.

A true 6.5/10 game, that not only didn’t evolve from mafia 3 but downgraded in a lot of aspects.
