Mafia: The Old Country

Perfecto but it ends very sadly :(

В целом Mafia: The Old Country получилась довольно хорошей игрой. Сицилия выглядит просто шикарно - красивые пейзажи, атмосфера, города, всё это реально приятно исследовать. Но есть один большой минус - игра очень уж туннельная. Идёшь практически всегда по одному заданному пути, свободы выбора мало, а хотелось бы больше вариантов прохождения и ощущения, что ты сам влияешь на события. Несмотря на это, получил удовольствие от прохождения. Не шедевр, но вполне достойная Mafia. 8/10

Mafia: The Old Country makes no apologies for its outrageous tanganelli!

Here's your full ghoulish rundown for Mafia: The Old Country: Mafia: The Old Country — RECOMMENDED Hangar 13 dug back to where it all started — the sun-baked, blood-soaked hills of early 1900s Sicily — and cut the fat off the franchise in the process. The Old Country isn't a sprawling open-world sandbox; it's a lean, linear, cinematic crime story in the mold of the first two Mafia games, and for the right kind of player, that focus is exactly what makes it sing. The premise is pure old-world dread: you claw your way up through a Sicilian crime family in an era rarely touched by games, back when the mafia was less slick suits and Tommy guns and more dirt, honor, and knives in the dark. The atmosphere is the star here — critics called it a genuine time machine, and they're right. Sun-scorched vineyards, candlelit backrooms, the slow-tightening noose of loyalty and betrayal. It's a beautifully grim world, and the game knows exactly how to make you feel small and disposable inside it. Where it earns its keep is storytelling and mood. This is a game that trades scale for craft — no bloated checklist of icons to clear, just a tight, character-driven descent into organized crime with real cinematic weight behind it. If you were burned out on open worlds padded to death, The Old Country's discipline feels like a mercy. A 76 on Metacritic lands it firmly in "good, not transcendent" territory, and that's a fair grave marker. What'll gnaw at you: it's short, and some players will feel the campaign ends just as it's hitting its stride. The moment-to-moment gameplay — the shooting, the driving, the mechanics — is competent but never spectacular; this is a game you play for the story, not the systems. If you came for deep, satisfying combat or endless things to do, the linearity that others praise will feel like a cage to you instead. But the ghoulish truth is that not every crime saga needs a hundred hours to leave a scar. The Old Country is a focused, atmospheric, well-told tragedy that respects your time and drips with period dread. If you love a good gangster story and you'd rather have twelve tight hours than sixty padded ones, pull up a chair at the family table. Just don't get too attached to anyone.

История постоянно держала в напряжении, следить за происходящим было безумно интересно, хотя последняя глава вышла довольно предсказуемой. Драма в игре хорошая, своё дело она сделала и эмоционально зацепила. Персонажи все очень харизматичные, каждого интересно слушать, и они говорят в прямом смысле как настоящие живые люди без картонности, со своими эмоциями и интонациями. Постановка в игре просто изумительная, смотреть кат-сцены одно удовольствие. Атмосфера Сицилии цепляет с первых минут, мир невероятно красивый, и всё, что связано с картинкой, выполнено на высшем уровне. Безумно красивая, изумительная природа Италии глаз не оторвать. Музыка в игре очень красивая и душевная, отлично дополняет настроение. Каждая мелодия точно попадает в происходящее на экране, и слушать это одно удовольствие. Геймплей тоже порадовал: за всё время ни разу не наскучил. Физика машин очень реалистичная, ездить одно удовольствие, стелс довольно неплохой, стрельба отличная импакт чувствуется, и стрелять по-настоящему круто. Но вот оптимизация в игре плохая статтеры, маленький фреймрейт, не для очень передовой картинки.

So far, when you asked me for the best story in a game, Mafia II was always one of my answers. I couldn't get into Mafia III at all, sadly and didn't think much of it, when this game released. I bought it during the recent sale and I regret not paying more attention to it. The main game is a wholly linear experience, but what an experience it is. If now someone asks me for the best story in a game, this will again take a spot in my top rankings, if not the top spot. It is well written, the characters act very understandably and it carries it through (with a not-so-interesting part inbetween). Even if a bit repetitive in terms of gameplay, you always want to get to the next story point and see how it continues. Last but not least, the Soundtrack is incredible. While I think that the soundtrack itself can already elevate any story, it's expertly used here with a perfect use of recurring themes. They additionally mix it incredibly well with the world building, the set pieces and the beautiful graphics. I went into this expecting not much, but now I'll eagerly wait again for the next Mafia part.

Artıları kadar eksileri de olan bir oyun fakat Mafia III faciasından sonra bence fena sayılmaz. İyi toparlamışlar diye düşünüyorum, zaten dönem oyunlarını da seven biri olarak oyunun hikayesini ve cutscene kısımlarını ekstra sevdim diyebilirim. Ancak oyunun oynanış kısmı biraz zayıf kalmış. Bug'lar mevcut özellikle oyunun son sahnesini bu yüzden baştan oynamak zorunda kaldım :') Gıcık karakterler olduğu gibi bağ kurabileceğiniz karakterler de var. Ben hikayeyle ve bazı karakterlerle bağ kurabildim yani. Sıkmayan, sürükleyici bir hikayesi var. Bölümleri oynarken tekrar hissini vermiyor, "bitse de gitsek" dedirten bölümler içermiyor. Oynanış ve dövüş kısmını pek sevmedim sadece o kadar. Onun dışında beğendim. Mafia serisini sevenlerin de beğeneceğini düşünüyorum. İndirimdeyken şans verebilirsiniz.

DONT BUY THIS GAME. THE FRAME DROP AND GLITCHING IS SO BAD YOU CANT PLAY IT
