![]() Out of the streets you can drive like like a madman, but you have to watch out for the cops. Melee combat is equally strong and rather brutal with Lincoln's combat knife at the forefront. They have the right amount of recoil, your enemies sport some good hit animations, and that "splut" sound when you get a headshot is immensely satisfying. Sure, you will fight it out in pitched gun battles and Mafia 3's guns feel good and meaty. I was surprised to find out that Mafia 3 is not one of those run-and-gun style open-world games. Hell, I'd watch this as a television series. Mafia 3 has one of the better stories in an open-world title. I can't tell if it'll hold up throughout the entire game yet, but Hangar 13 feels self-assured in the story it's telling. The presentation and dialogue in Mafia 3 is top-notch. (Vito is the connective tissue between this game and Mafia II, which Vito starred in.) Each feels like they inhabit their own worlds with their own driving motivations. ![]() You gain some insight into the friendship between Lincoln, his adoptive brother Ellis, local mechanic Danny Burke, and Marcano's heir Giorgi.Īs Lincoln begins his revenge, you're introduced to his underbosses: Cassandra, a young woman you free early on who rises to become the leader of the Haitians Thomas Burke, former boss of the Irish Mob and Danny's father and Vito Scaletta, the aging made man sent from Empire Bay to keep the Marcanos in line. You understand the connection Clay has to his adoptive family and the working respect he has with Sal Marcano and other crime families. Mafia 3 takes time to set up its relationships. What I've related above takes place over the course of the opening 4-5 hours of Mafia 3, but it doesn't feel like it's all setup. Lincoln vows to slowly take everything from Marcano, burning down his empire and family before finally Sal Marcano himself.Ĭlay is very good at what he does - killing - and he doesn't do mercy. He's pulled from the wreckage of the black mob's bar headquarters by Father James, who is oddly all about with Clay killing Marcano, but Clay doesn't want to stop there. Lincoln Clay's story is compelling, a young man trying to find a family, only to lose it again and again. I'm not done with Mafia 3, but one thing Hangar 13 has down is the narrative. A botched execution leaves Lincoln alive and ready for revenge. Following a successful heist of the Federal Reserve, Marcano wipes out the black mob and takes all the money. Family comes first though, and Clay brings his military training to bear to help his family out of debt to Marcano crime family. Bi-racial orphan Lincoln Clay has returned from Vietnam to say goodbye to his adoptive brother and father, the leader of the local black mob. In New Bordeaux, a convincing facsimile of New Orleans, Louisiana, the Italian Mob is the dominant faction in the city. I appreciate some of the leaps Hangar 13 has made here.įor one, this game is not directly about the Italian Mob. This sequel comes from Hangar 13, a new studio established to steward this franchise forward. In the past 24 hours and some change I have logged a great deal of time into Mafia 3. ![]() I like living in New Bordeaux, more than I probably would've liked living in 1968.
