    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has been criticized for being shallow and lacking depth, with questionable mechanics that can lead to boredom and repetitive strategies. While some players appreciate the nuanced interactions between mechanics, the absence of a tutorial and a confusing user interface hinder the overall experience, making it difficult to fully engage with the game's potential. Many feel that additional mechanics and clearer guidance could significantly enhance the gameplay, especially in a mafia-themed context.

    • “Just keep trying a few games and you will get used to the mechanics.”
    • “I have really enjoyed this game thus far; while initially seeming a little sparse, I very quickly realized that there is actually a lot of nuance and interesting interactions between mechanics.”
    • “This game is teeming with things like that; the mechanics all feel well thought out and nuanced.”
    • “The gameplay is unbelievably boring.”
    • “There is a lack of tutorial, making starting the game a little jarring. Although there is a glossary button that explains the game mechanics well, it is never pointed out to you.”
    • “The UI hinders any understanding of what is going on from turn to turn, so in many ways, the game's bread and butter is completely hidden from view outside of possible profits, which doesn't lead to satisfying gameplay.”
  • graphics
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game receive mixed feedback; while some users appreciate the nice visuals and their contribution to the overall theme, others criticize the lack of detailed representations, particularly in the context of game elements like rackets. Overall, the graphics are seen as adequate but not particularly innovative, with some elements feeling generic.

    • “Nice graphics, and the soundtrack is totally adequate and emphasizes the overall theme of the game, which is brilliant.”
    • “Nice graphics.”
    • “Basically, it's Excel with a little graphics.”
    • “There's a brief description on rackets, but besides that, there aren't any visuals or anything of the sort on what a racket looks or feels like.”
    • “The traits for your soldatos, capos, and your don seemed a little generic and boring at first, until I realized they stack on top of each other in the geographic divisions of the game, allowing for interesting stacking and building of modifiers and a lot of interesting possibilities there alone!”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its incredible soundtrack that enhances the overall theme and immerses players in the setting, evoking a strong sense of atmosphere. However, some users note that the limited number of tracks leads to repetition, which can detract from the experience over time.

    • “Nice graphics, and the soundtrack is totally adequate and emphasizes the overall theme of the game, which is brilliant.”
    • “I think what stands out the most in this title is the incredible soundtrack; the music makes you feel like a true Italian criminal of the early 17th century.”
    • “Great soundtrack.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express a desire for a semi-open world mob game reminiscent of "Goodfellas," highlighting a lack of a compelling storyline in existing titles. Overall, the consensus is that the narrative elements are weak and fail to engage players effectively.

    • “It lacked a strong storyline.”
    • “The plot was predictable and uninspired.”
    • “Character development was shallow and unengaging.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers criticize the game's monetization strategy, highlighting its reliance on mobile design elements that lead to a slow grind and lack of engaging gameplay. They note the absence of significant events or dynamic interactions, suggesting that monetization features may have been removed in the transition to PC, leaving a depersonalized and basic experience.

    • “The depersonalized art, the extremely basic functionality, the extremely slow grind, the impossibility of dynamic or decisive action against opposing families, no endgame or even significant event markers along the way... all these things are hallmarks of the mobile design paradigm, and you can even see the spots where monetization features might have been scratched out for a PC port.”
    • “The game feels like a constant push towards spending money, with essential features locked behind paywalls that make it frustrating to progress without shelling out cash.”
    • “It's disappointing to see that the gameplay is heavily influenced by monetization strategies, making it feel more like a cash grab than a well-designed game.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers note that the humor in the game is lacking, with some suggesting that even simpler flash games offer more depth and comedic value.

  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express that the emotional aspect of the game can be disconcerting and irritating, leading to feelings of frustration regarding the decisions made by the commission and their impact on families.
