Mafia II: Definitive Edition Review – A Testament To The Timeless
Though it pulls a lot of the punches today’s open-world games freely throw, Mafia II is a time capsule in a lot of ways. Not only because its post-World War II Empire Bay lives and breathes only to have its face driven into the dirt by enterprising individuals fixated on the American dream, but because it’s a testament to the timeless, story-driven crime drama. The kind that became extinct once substance was forced to make way for Rockstar’s frenzied brand of mania.

Mafia II: Definitive Edition may have definitive in its name, but the numerous glitches that plague it really hold back what is still a good game at its core from truly earning that title.
60%Mafia II: Definitive Edition Review (PS4)
After the initial enthusiasm caused by the announcement of the Definitive Editions, seeing the state in which these have been released, leaves us utterly disappointed and raises several concerns regarding the quality of the remaining remaster. After the resounding success of the first part, which attained iconic status among gamers, the sequels failed to rise to the expectations and the remasters so far make things worse. The remaster of Mafia II remains a great opportunity totally missed by the publisher to turn the bad memories, softened anyway by nostalgia, into a new worthwhile adventure. Instead, we received a console port put together haphazardly and without any care or consideration. The Definitive Edition of Mafia II dooms the game to go down in history as an experience that went from bad to worse.
