Discussion I swear it’s all I’ve been seeing.
Don’t get me wrong, the game ain’t perfect but I’m not letting small imperfections ruin my entire experience.
I said it once and I’ll say it again. The driving is peak.
The story meets the standard for the Mafia series so y’know, it’s good.
The shooting is really good and yes it is better than all the other mafia games and also better than RDR2 and GTA V.
How is it better? Well, first of all, when it comes to shooting in RDR2, as the player, you don’t really feel the weight of the gun you are shooting.
Basically in RDR2 and GTA, it just feels like you’re shootings airsoft guns but mafia: the old country actually feels more realistic and I feel more immersed when it comes to gunplay and I don’t doubt other games also have better gunplay than Mafia: the old country but, I can’t speak on those because I haven’t played them.
To be fair, nobody, not even me, should be comparing Mafia the old country to other games outside of the Mafia series.
This isn’t me being ignorant also. The games has flaws. I definitely think it holds the game back to an extent but then again, consider the fact that this isn’t another Mindseye or Ubisoft game or activision game… and it does what it what all mafia games set out to do? Then you can’t complain too much.

Driving feels great.. but there is nowhere to drive and nothing to do. You have a huge autopark(and a lot of horses btw) but not a single reason to use it.
Shooting is okay, but not too enjoyable. And knife fights is ass. It's cool at first but then you literally doing the same thing over and over for each boss fight. No new tricks from their sleeves, nothing.
And the worst part of the game is the price. Full AAA price for ~12hours of story with zero replaylability? Welp.
Don't get me wrong i like the game, but it feels like they started with openworld hit the budget limit and rolled back to the simple linear story. Tho some parts of the story is kind of stupid, like this first quest for getting a food, like dude why you don't went straight to that window you are used to for exit??
Other than that it's a good game, 100% worth to play if purchased on a discount, story is great, overall gameplay is fun.
