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 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.
