The fourth Mafia game is a prequel to the whole series, set in Sicily at the turn of the 20th century, and featuring some amazing graphics and performances.

The Old Country’s old school, and deliberately so. In response to criticism Mafia 3 got when it came out about a decade ago, the developers have opted not to keep trying to evolve what a Mafia game is with a revised approach, but instead to push back against the inevitable onslaught of time.

I spent the majority of the game feeling like I was doing a series of disassociated side quests.
