Mafia returns to the salons
Mafia 3 received mixed reviews - not everyone liked the changes in this acclaimed series. Will Mafia: The Old Country do better? We won't get an open world, just a linear adventure, full of action twists and Sicilian atmosphere. This is the beginning of the mafia as an organization, so cars and firearms will be a novelty here, not available to everyone.
Will the new installment handle the weight of the franchise?
In Mafia: The Old Country, we play as Enzo, who begins his criminal life in Don Torrisi's family. We will guide his fate in a truly cinematic style. Nonetheless, fans of the previous installments of the series may feel disappointed, as this title will offer significantly less freedom. If someone was hoping for a fun experience like GTA or RDR, they might be disappointed too. This title is reportedly closer to the Uncharted series, which may be an advantage for some.
