    Mafia. The story is good, but you are basically watching a movie with driving and shooting in-between cut scenes. The player has zero choice or influence over the game.

      Which one? If you mean the first one, then it’s because it is basically a person telling the story, and you as a player is reenacting it. It’s basically a movie you can somewhat play.

      It’s also old as fuck lol. Personally loved it, as a proud Czech.

        • Yep. It didn’t bother me except when the handsome guy (Henry Tomasino) set Joe and Tommy up on what was clearly a crap deal. It might have been better if he was trying to kill me off so he could take my job, but no, Tomasino was just stupid.

          Having Joe Barbaro accompany me on every mission was a good set up for the ending.

          There’s a moment that really worked for me, Tomasino asks if Tommy can kill people on command, and he noted he killed a whole lot for President Roosevelt in Sicily. Tomasino says (I paraphrase) Yeah, but those were enemy. These are civilians. Tommy doesn’t respond.

        I was specially referring to “the definitive edition”, which is a remake of the first game which was released in 2020.
