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.

Like with most games we set expectations and if it doesn’t meet those then that’s what seems to get highlighted. For me I liked the story but the gameplay was just repetitive. There were no surprises in my opinion. I would’ve loved for this little war to have escalated to little random shootouts in passing on the roads. Similar to RDR2. I know this game wasn’t that but it would’ve been more immersive for me at least verses getting a mission, driving/riding to it, shootout, cutscenes, rinse and repeat. It wasn’t great imo and some think it’s amazing. Either opinion is ok. I for one am glad some people loved it. I would’ve hated to see the franchise end and I hope it doesn’t.
