Mafia

GOAT

This just has to be one of the most overrated video games ever. The missions are ridiculously uneven and all over the place when it comes to their concept, difficulty level, and intensity.

And on top of that, the checkpoint system makes no sense - like in A Trip to the Country, where you have to walk through the whole farm twice before the actual action even starts.

Also, if the fact that you often have to drive at 60 kph (or 40 mph) in order not to attract cops wasn't enough, one segment is literally a public transport passenger simulator. Who though it was a good idea?

I get it, the story is good, the overall concept is pretty impressive, and the cutscenes have great cinematography. But with level design this uneven, the whole game is average at best.

I loved the immersive sim elements personally, but I get why they're not for everyone

Aged like milk, 80% of it is tedious driving through a city designed to be as frustrating as possible to traverse, the other 20% is cutscenes for a decent story and mediocre gameplay.

This game has absolutely massive cult following here in Eastern Europe, it is regarded as the best game ever on par with OoT and Silent Hill 2.

Took me probably 20 minutes to load it but the Community Modpack is absolutely essential. Makes this game really shine.

i won't lie I remember it being a difficult game. but for the time it was amazing just to experience it
