Remember when many people called Mafia 3 trash, mid etc? It blows these out the water. Gamers were spoiled back then. Mafia 3 is fantastic.
A lot of modern games have forced me to reflect on the PS4/One era. We had it so good in comparison to today. Mafia 3's world design, atmosphere and driving were top tier. Especially compared to the garbage featured in the image. It's biggest and only significant drawback was just the mission design. Apart from that the gameplay was good. Driving, shooting, movement were good. Map was amazing. Story was pretty cool too, basically you're the punisher. Not the Mafia game ppl wanted but it was a cool concept. I just wish they followed R*'s formula for mission design instead of Ubisofts formula. Or even the linear design of Mafia 2.
I hope we get another ambitious Mafia game like Mafia 3 with better mission design and open world formula. I hope the reaction from some gamers didn't discourage them from making more games like this.
