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.

I enjoyed it overall, I'm not that bothered about collectibles, so I played the story, then ragged around the map a bit in a few cars and was happy with the experience overall.

The performance was my mine gripe, I have a pretty good pc (32gb ram, gtx 3080, Ryzen 7) and the first third of the game was stuttery as hell, so had to turn down to 1080p from 1440p, and from there it still was stuttery at times (mainly when there were lots of npcs, such as the races)

So I guess tldr, my main issue is with the optimisations on the pc version, but I enjoyed the experience of the game overall and it met my expectations, but didn't exceed them.
