The game’s lighting engine also, ironically, really shines at night. Cars fill the road, citizens going on about their daily business, broken-down buildings and garbage-filled alleyways during America’s Great Depression. The city is gorgeous and is absolutely littered with detail, just as you’d expect from a Mafia game. Visually, Mafia: Definitive Edition is extremely impressive. The preview didn’t offer the chance to try this mode, so I’m not sure if they’ll be adding anything extra for players to do, but if you just want to go out and mess with the sandbox, it seems you’ll have the option to do so. There is a Free Roam mode though if you do want to just go out and explore the city of Lost Heaven. So, unlike in Mafia III, you won’t have to do the same missions over and over again just to get to the next story beat.
If you weren’t a fan of Mafia III’s repetitive open world, Mafia: Definitive Edition stays faithful to the original game, avoiding the extra open-world bloat you might expect from a modern game. The driving mechanics have also received an overhaul, with vehicles feeling generally comfortable to drive and not weightless, which was a complaint some had about Mafia III’s driving mechanics. The game plays like a modern third-person shooter now with a full cover system and updated movement mechanics.
Elsewhere, Hangar 13 has added a fully re-recorded orchestral score, and, obviously, the gameplay has received an overhaul as well. Mafia: Definitive Edition follows the same story as the original, though the developers have indicated that they’ve updated the script with new dialogue, expanded backstories, and new cutscenes.
