the game is alright, doesn't feel like a Mafia game though.
I'm also stuck at the moment because the level to aquire a forger requires you to unlock a safe. But every time I try to unlock it, the game crashes.
I've tried several combinations of graphical settings to avoid this but it always crashes when I've been trying to step through the combo lock.
Performance is pretty terrible, yes I'm on CachyOS so its not native, but I've played just as intesively graphical games than this without half the issues in performance, some levels barely break 50fps even with FSR.
Unity's FSR caused frequent crashing as well and couldn't even load past the first scene without turning it off as well as the graphics settings.
Also, the gun system is absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
I've taken several dead-on headshots with rifles and they miss either due to RNG or bad collisions in the geometry.
-Edit-
Finally completed the game, turns out the bug I discovered earlier was passable due to the combo lock number being 'reset' (0,1,2 I think it was) so I didn't need to ring through all codes, and I just never noticed because the first code is 0, which you don't hear a tick for.
As for the rest of the game, the story is alright I guess. I was kind of underwhelmed by the stealth system in the game. There was never really any puzzles of the situations to solve in that regard so it often got boring.
The combat was also frustrating at times, if I needed to reload, but wanted to switch quickly to a knife, trying to find the keybind for that was also an issue.
The gun system did get a little better when I unlocked the accuracy charm, but seriously its such a frustrating experience having a gun system be so wildly RNG based, unless you find some hidden charm that increases your accuracy about 20%. Very frustrating.
Performance also remained okay to poor at times, especially in critical scenes, despite me having a great GPU.
And finally, the driving system. It was alright. The race scene was frustrating as you had no bearing on where you were in the actual courseand crashing basically requires a reload. The checkpoints were odd as well, as one time I reloaded I went from 3rd position down to 2nd so not sure what happened there.
If anything, the cars didn't mean that much, and the horses meant even less in this game.
I don't even understand why they implemented any customizability options into this game for the cars or horses, sure they're nice, but you earn so little money and never have an option to just freely roam, it makes the whole system pointless.
I bought one car that looked cool as hell, but when car scenes came up, it was always something different.
Sure, for free riding it might be fine. But the original mafia games put a damned good story into an open world sandbox.
Whereas, in this game, they tried to put some sandbox elements into a rail-roaded story driven game.
Finally, I mentioned this previously but again, performance is really bad in this game. In order to hit a constant FPS you need to use FSR or equivalent, and the game greatly suffers for it graphically.
It could be a beautiful game if they spent more time on optimization, but sadly they didn't.
