Mafia III (2016 Video Game)
7/10
Amazing prologue with unfortunate gameplay
15 April 2021
The story and the pace of the game was amazing. The way the story was told was amazing. The setting is incredible too as the city based of New Orleans sets a great playground for the character who is also well build. I must say it was an amazing story full of twists and interesting moments, especially when showed with them great music setting the vibe of the late 60s. The huge disappointment of the game wasn't so much the gameplay, which was alright with a bit of downgrade on the driving from the last Mafia game, but the missions were so repetitive. To progress in the game the protagonist Lincoln Clay has to take up territories/neighbourhoods one by one from the main boss - Marciano. To take a neighbourhood or at least to get to meet the underboss who owns this territory, you have to make 2 or 3 missions which exact copy paste in each of district you have to overtake. The missions for taking down the underbosses of the districts are diverse and pretty good but the path to get there is repetitive as you have to go trough it over and over again. The characters in the game are great and fun to explore, the world is beautiful and stays as a cool background as it looks alive but in the same time there is not much to do if you want to free roam since it's an open world. The story is 10/10 but the repetitiveness of the missions really make the game to be a disappointment. If you are able to sit trough those repetitive missions and ignore them, I ensure you it's worth it, just so You can experience this amazing storyline.
