Lincoln Clay’s story is still well worth experiencing a first time, but there is no real reason to venture back to New Bordeaux with this latest release as part of the Mafia Trilogy. While not anywhere near as glitch ridden as the Mafia II remaster, Mafia III: Definitive Edition adds nothing more than the previously released DLC along with the very strange removal of Xbox One X support that was added to the original release after launch. The story of Lincoln Clay is still enthralling and handles some very dark themes quite well, but the lifeless open world structure found in Mafia III: Definitive Edition really hinders what could have been the best game in the trilogy. Mafia III: Definitive Edition somehow managed to improve in one way by including all of the prior DLC, while also taking multiple steps backwards by somehow removing support for Xbox One X, even as a mistake. The stellar soundtrack will constantly have you taking longer routes in your vehicle just to finish an entire song, which at least somewhat helps the fact that the game lacks fast travel. These include songs from artists such as The Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Johnny Cash, as the game offers over 100 different songs in total. With the game being set in the late ’60s, the music was ripe for the picking from the era and Hangar 13 did not disappoint.
MAFIA III DEFINITIVE EDITION TRAINER SERIES
Mafia as a series has always had a great soundtrack to match the time period, but Mafia III takes this to another level entirely. The repetitive nature of these missions though is where the game really struggles.
New Bordeaux itself is split up into nine different districts across nine chapters, each of which have a story mission that is split up for you to complete. The original city of New Bordeaux this time around is larger than both of the first two games combined, but that kind of is a hindrance in some ways as you’re consistently having to drive across the map for new missions. Where Mafia III suffers most though is the very unoriginal game structure as you play through Lincoln’s story in a once again large sandbox open world experience. While it is definitely a different style than the first couple games, the story is very much worth experiencing here and may be the best of the trilogy in that area. Mafia III: Definitive Edition was not afraid to tackle much more intense and dark themes than in the past, which still holds up well now four years later from the original release.
The story is largely carried by the incredibly captivating Lincoln Clay and the other characters around him, with a solid story surrounding them.
