The buildings look like they had been constructed the day before, the cars like they’d never been driven, and Tommy’s suit looks as though it’s constantly being pressed and cleaned. From the redesigned buildings – that better reflect the architecture of ’20s and ’30s America – to emotive character models and the sweeping views of the city skyline, everything is gorgeous, pristine and wonderfully immersive.īut for a story about two ruthless mafia families battling it out to take control of a city that’s still reeling from the Great Depression, the graphics also have an unusually immaculate sheen to them. Tommy’s time with the Salieri crime family is just as (and perhaps even more) compelling as it ever was, and the chance to re-experience it remains the best argument for the remake’s existence.Īccompanying the gripping Mafia: Definitive Edition narrative is a reimagined city of Lost Heaven, now a fully realised and interactive world that comes to life with the help of surprisingly deep radio broadcasts, which also serve to track your time in the world. The excellent plotline and story beats of the original are all here, just meaningfully spruced up and expanded with 2020 production values – even the order of the missions are the same. While it’s an interesting approach to reintroduce the game to a new audience, Hangar 13’s plan doesn’t fully pan out.įrom the get-go, players familiar with the 2002 version of Mafia will feel right at home.
Every pixel, audio file and even the script has been lovingly redone, modernised and then retrofitted into Mafia’s two-decade-old framework to tell the story of Tommy Angelo, an unwitting taxi driver-turned-mobster. Helmed by Hangar 13, which also worked on 2016’s Mafia III, Mafia: Definitive Edition is a remake of the original 2002 Mafia that has been completely rebuilt from the ground up. 2K Games has now thrown its hat into the remake ring with Mafia: Definitive Edition, which tries to straddle the middle ground.

They run the gamut from fully faithful remasters, like Activision’s Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, to a complete reimagining that simply captures the spirit of the original, like Square Enix with its phenomenal Final Fantasy VII Remake.
