After almost 10 years, I decided to give Mafia III another shot. And honestly? I still can’t understand how this game is supposed to be a Mafia game. The whole thing gives me a massive GTA vibe. The open world, the repetitive missions, the gameplay loop… it just doesn’t feel like Mafia. Compared to Mafia I and II, this game feels like it belongs to a completely different franchise. The soundtrack is easily the best …

So the first 5-10 hours are really fun. But after that its just boring af- YOU ARE DOING THE SAME MISSION OVER 10 TIMES. I couldnt finish that game, because after 17h its really the same. And in the part were I am, you have to do those same missions 4 or 5 times again. I cant take it anymore. I really loved it at first, but then hell nah.

Mafia III was The Punisher of the Mafia franchise. In my experience i thought the game was pretty good, it wasn't a bad game at all. The story was really good and engaging enough for me to get through the game. It is very repetitive when it comes to missions where you have to do the same repetitive things everytime you get to a new area but, it's the intriguing storyline that makes u want to keep playing.

Went into Mafia III expecting a repetitive mess… ended up loving it! Yeah, the open world can feel shallow and NPCs get annoying, but if you squint a bit, it all clicks. The loop is predictable, but it feels justified, serves the story. And Lincoln Clay? Boy carries the whole game on his back. Cold, focused, driven, you feel his purpose in every move. Not to mention, seeing Vito and some familiar faces from the …

GREAT STORY, TERRIBLE REPETITIVE GRIND 66 hours spent in New Bordeaux. To be completely honest, Mafia 3 is a game of missed potential. The story of Lincoln Clay, the cinematic documentary-style storytelling, and the legendary 60s soundtrack are absolutely incredible. The combat feels heavy and brutal. However, the mission design is an absolute nightmare. The game forces you into an endless, exhausting loop of "take …

64% of the 291 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Mafia III: Definitive Edition. The complaint that keeps coming up: highly repetitive mission structure. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Mafia III received "mixed or average" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator platform Metacritic. Critics praised the story, characters, and darker themes, but criticized the repetitive gameplay and the presence of numerous technical issues. Alex Donaldson of VG247 gave the game a mixed review, writing, "Mafia III features one of my [favorite] video game stories of the year, some gorgeous presentation, an amazing soundtrack and an interesting world. Sadly it also has by-the-numbers mission design and dubious performance." In his 2/5 star review, Sam White of The Guardian wrote, "To say Mafia III is a disappointment is an understatement. It has all of the surface components to…

The characters and story hit hard, the DLCs focus on that kind of thing so thankfully those are all A-OK in my book. The gameplay is really the part where I have discontent. The gameplay is very repetitive, basically go here, kill that. I get that's going to be a huge thing in a game like this but I feel like they prioritized the driving…

I played this game on console and now I have just gotten it on PC, after a couple of hours, I thought I would leave my two cents since I know the reviews are mixed: Is this game perfect? Far from it. But damn, the overall gritty atmosphere is just crushed out of the park with this one. The acting is done very well, the combat is engaging enough and brutal, the graphics are done very well for the time too. If you plan to play on PC, you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mafia III starts with promise but quickly falls into a repetitive cycle. The core gameplay boils down to the same formula: cause damage, kill a boss, and repeat. That loop becomes stale far too soon, making the overall experience feel more like a chore than an adventure. Gunfights, which should be the highlight of a crime-driven game, are surprisingly underwhelming. The mechanics lack excitement and fail to deliver the intensity you’d expect from a title in this genre. Where Mafia III does…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's 2026, and Hangar 13 still hasn't updated this game. Achievements are bugged, textures are bugged, hell, even some of the models are broken. Like, how in the world could you mess up the position of a pistol suppressor by placing it upside down? Also, several outfits don't have any shadows mapped to them. The game also crashes so often that it can block you from unlocking certain achievements. I wouldn't really recommend the game in its current state.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mafia III is weird for me. I love the setting, I really do. Driving through New Bordeaux at night with the radio on is probably my favorite part of the whole game. I did that more than I probably should have. The story works and Lincoln works. The documentary-style cutscenes surprised me. But clearing districts over and over eventually starts to feel like a checklist. At some point I caught myself thinking, didn’t I just do this? I still put more than 60 hours into it, so the game clearly…

I've heard a lot about this game, "its not a Mafia game", "it's full of bugs", "the soundtrack is stellar"... and well, all of this is true. But let's start from the beginning. Mafia 3 is a 2016 game and well, it almost seems a bit older to be honest: graphics look dated, no real reflection on mirrors, the sky has no seamless transition between different states of light and weather, the AI is as dumb as a 2001 game, there are details like…

Interesting story, very good graphics, well designed side charachters and the 3 extra missions are spectacular. On top of that you get some great great music while playing. I faced some bugs here and there but nothing too often or too bad. Easily the best out of the mafia trilogy imo, highly recommend especially on discount.

Back then, I was fascinated by its PhysX effects and overall presentation. It was a fun ride from start to finish.

For people who just wanna play story and have fun exploring open world this game is fine. I replayed this game again after few years thinking they may have fixed the achievement bugs but nop its still bugged. For many people these things are not important but for some people it is and these things really messes up our completion rate, but i did enjoy the game so i wont complain much !!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This ain't it. But I'm going to start with the positives. I liked the art direction and the graphics. Also, the acting was fine, the main story was OK, and the DLCs were actually a highlight - they were a breath of fresh air, albeit a little short. I particularly enjoyed the renovation of Sammy's. And the negatives? Well, there are a lot. This game is repetitive as hell. The side missions necessary to complete the main ones are just a bore. Also, the game forces you to drive to the most…

To this day it struggles to run at 60 locked. Underrated? Maybe. Could it have reached the status Cyberpunk has if the devs locked in and addressed all the glitches and the severe lack of polish? Not quite since Mafia 3 has a repetition problem. Mafia 3 is severely repetitive with its mission design but I don't think it's as soul-lessly…

The city is full of character, with beautiful districts and lots of little details that make it feel alive. The cars are fun to drive, and the customization options are a nice bonus. Yes, you'll spend a lot of time driving from one mission to the next because there's no fast travel. It can feel repetitive at times, but that's also a product of games from that era, and it…

They saw how hated Mafia 2 DLCs were and decided to use that formula in their next main entry. Do the same mission couple times, now the main mission is unlocked, repeat for the next districts until the end of the game. Remember the stealing vehicle mission? They got that here too, and now more than half of them take LONGER. Still, I would've forgive this but, then there are other things; the crashes, the bugs, the dumbass…

It may have lacked some extra features, but damn the story was a 10/10. Emotional moments, difficult decision making moments. It felt real, like you were actually in the characters shoes.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →5/10. Kind of really, very boring. While this game is more 'fun' to play than Mafia 2, I don't want to play it. After the first 4 hours you've done everything that can be done and the devs expect you to keep doing it till the end of the game. I have 0 interest in finishing what seems to be a great story when there are ubisoft style missions between me and experiencing it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite of how long this game have been out, 6 years as of writing for Definitive Edition. Original is 10years ago the game is still suffering with bugs. DE is supposed to be the cleaner version of the game with bugs and visuals. Even the first 2 Mafia feels better, and less to no bug exp at all compared to this 3rd franchise. Planning to skip this. but ffs I have to follow up with my boy Vito
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mafia III has a decent core story and uses the same visual quality as the other two Definitive Editions, but the overall experience feels heavily stretched. Around 80% of the missions are repetitive, mostly involving doing a fixed amount of damage to properties, which quickly becomes boring and breaks immersion. Because of this, I wouldn’t recommend buying the game separately. If you bought the Mafia Trilogy bundle, then this feels more like a bonus title that comes “free” with Mafia I and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was waiting for my 2nd playthrough to write my review, but I just finished watching my GF complete her full playthrough, and I felt like now was a good time. I highly recommend this game. While the narrative does deviate from the original Mafia and Mafia II, this game very much holds its own in the trilogy. It has the most complex narrative of all the games. It is a revenge story against the mob, but it also utilizes the time period and southern, New Orleans setting to mix in themes of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I went into Mafia III expecting a decent crime game. What I didn't expect was spending hours cruising around New Bordeaux with the radio on, completely absorbed in a city that feels equal parts beautiful and broken. Lincoln Clay isn't your typical gangster protagonist. He's angry, determined, and impossible not to root for. The story doesn't glorify crime as much as it tells a revenge tale with consequences, and that's what kept me playing even when the mission structure started repeating…

Every mission is pretty much the exact same setup: Go from A to B, kill/steal/interrogate X, then go back to A. That's 90% of the missions. What's worse, a lot of them have you driving across the entire map to reach the objective, which takes a couple of minutes, and then you also have to drive back to the start, sometimes in a slow truck. This gets tedious really…

Most interiors are only accessible during specific missions, and the only real side activity available is racing.

The story is strong and engaging, but the mission structure becomes repetitive over time, and repeating the same objectives can start to feel boring. Recommended…

The map has varied terrain, and boats add a nice touch. Graphics are improved, and classic rock selections are fantastic.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros - Visceral combat. Both you and enemies go down fast, making for some intense gunplay, kills aren't always clean too, with enemies lying wounded, begging for their lives or groaning, emphasising the brutality, though for you you do get adrenaline shots you can use to recover from near-death and buff your health back, but that only goes a little towards making you less squishy until you get late game upgrades for it. - Memorable setting and story. A Southern US city with French influence,…

positive · AI labelView post →I would honestly say this is by far the most underrated game I've ever played. It's gameplay does get pretty repetitive towards the end but the story is insanely well crafted. It genuinely is movie quality with the way it portrays 1960's America, and it doesn't pull any punches given it's mature premise.
