Mafia elevates the classic thriller with stunning visuals and a more immersive story delivery. The original Mafia launched all the way back in 2002 for PC, and later for the original Xbox. Mafia commanded heaps of praise for its gritty, realistic take on Grand Theft Auto's formula, which by contrast is notorious for its satire and parody. Mafia felt like something that had emerged from the best minds of Hollywood back then, and I'm happy to find that modern tech only elevates this thriller classic.

Mafia: Definitive Edition is an essential buy for anyone that enjoys a gangster flick, with some of the best story delivery in recent memory.
