“The story is easily the highlight. Lincoln Clay is a well-written protagonist with clear motivations and the game does a great job of showing how his past shaped him. John Donovan is just as strong, his history with…”

“Review summary: I enjoyed my time with this game so giving it a thumbs up. It has its share of issues but the pros generally outweigh the cons in my opinion. A few select details below: PROS:
“i like its style, story, musik, wepon look and feel, cars feels awesome. Only problem - its 2000-s one way gameplay. I want some freedom, instead im just rolling one task to another.”
“My fav game. I actually hoped Mafia 4 would go in the direction as Mafia 3 but it didnt. Sad to see that u wont be able to restore ur bar , place to live, buy some bussinesses like weed warehouse and such.. i loved the…”

“I got this as a gift from my boyfriend and I LOVED it. I actually like that this one is so different from its predecessors. The setting is great, the driving is really fun, and Lincoln Clay is a likeable, strong…”
“Great details and story. Much better in terms of map area and overall driving experience compared to Mafia 1 & 2. Manual gear could've been added but overall was really fun. I love the fact that we were given choices…”

“No ultrawide support but its fine, what gets me is I open the game and it defaults to 800x900 and guess what? There is no main menu in the beginning, you need to start the game. But its all good I continue, open the…”
“The graphics look horrible and dated (more dated than games made 10 years earlier). It has no hardware optimization. Freezes and stuttering are common even on high end PCs. The developer team was clearly a bunch of…”
“Terrible port. Bugged to hell. A real let down coming off the back of completing the I & II remasters, which were great.”

“Went into Mafia III expecting a repetitive mess… ended up loving it! Yeah, the open world can feel shallow and NPCs get annoying, but if you squint a bit, it all clicks. The loop is predictable, but it feels justified, serves the story. And Lincoln Clay? Boy carries the whole…”
— a player, Steam review · 25 hrs played“I have to give this one a thumbs up. The "mixed" reviews just doesn't do this game any justice at all. It's a fun open world type Mafia game with great story and great characters. Sure some of it is repetitive, but all these types of games are and i've seen a lot worse games get…”
— a player, Steam review · 61 hrs played“I would not buy this game again, if I had known it was this buggy from the start. Hanger13 does not care for the bugs enough to fix them. You get stunlocked after a majority of the checkpoints after cutscenes with certain NPC's. And stuck looking at Vito at sitting down…”
