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.

None of the complaints I've seen are valid. Some say it's too short as if the other Mafia games haven't all been around the same length aside from Mafia III which most fans called bloated and repetitive. Now they want an open world again all of a sudden? Also the no swimming complaint like Mafia is known for it's swimming mechanics. I've even seen some people complain about the knife fights. I think it's the most fun melee I've seen in the Mafia games. Most of the other Mafia games had a punch a couple of times and do a takedown at least it's different. It isn't perfect, but I thought Old Country was a worthy addition to the series. And 10-13 hours is a decent length. Not every game has to be a 70+ hour open world experience. It was also never marketed as anything, but a linear experience.
