Mafia III: Definitive Edition

The game feels like an unfinished project, abandoned due to technical difficulties and limitations. Every aspect of it is completely broken. If I had to describe the game in one word, it would be "inconsistent."
Visually, the game looks horrible in most areas due to bad textures, UV mapping issues, and excessive tiling. Yet, at times, it can look absolutely beautiful.
Some cutscenes suffer from severe flickering issues, while others appear stable and well-rendered.
The sound breaks every single time you drive a vehicle, and the directional audio and surround effects are completely broken.
Optimization is extremely poor, with frame times fluctuating wildly, causing constant lag.
Perhaps the funniest part is that the game doesn’t even launch unless you disable fullscreen optimization on the shortcut, which tells that developers didn’t even test.

Overall, the game is in a really poor state, overshadowing all the good aspects—such as the story, gunplay, and city design.

Be ready to look up YouTube videos on how to get this game running smoothly. The game defaults to full screen and wont work until you go into the properties of the game and disable full screen optimizations. The game needs to be installed on a SSD (I know that's kinda the norm now but would expect a game this old to be able to handle a HDD download) unless you enjoy intense stuttering and FPS drops. If you're like me and cant stand the xbox controller, good luck finding a steam input config for ps controllers because there is always something that is broken. Can't believe it l;aunched in this state and CANNOT believe there have been no official patches for these issues.

Honestly, even if most people didn’t like Mafia 3, I actually enjoyed it. I’d give it a solid 6.5/10.

The game had potential, and I liked the story a lot — especially Lincoln and Donovan. There were moments that really pulled me in. Also, I really liked the Faster, Baby! DLC. It was fun and felt different.

But let’s be real, there was a lot of repetition. Missions started to feel the same after a while, and at some point, I just got bored doing the same stuff again and again. The gameplay could’ve been much better.

In the end, I agree with most people: Mafia 2 is better. There was so much hype around Mafia 3, but it just didn’t live up to it. Still, I don’t regret playing it.

It's 2025, nearly 10 years after the original game released. Following the release of Mafia Definitive Edition, which comes with DLSS, this game is buggy and horrifically unoptimised trash. Attempted to run this on a 10th-Gen i7-10175 @ 2.80Ghz and a 3080Ti 16GB VRAM.

In the <5 times I have tried to start this game up, the game needed to have Full-Screen Optimisations disabled from the .exe, and turned off half the settings like the Ambient Occlusion, Bloom and Reflections because I cannot get this game running a steady 60fps at 4K.

I only got this game as part of Mafia Trilogy on 85% sale - at least it made owning Mafia Definitive Edition worth it. I don't recommend buying this at all separately.

cant even fucking boot it up once it fullscreens the screen froze wont unfreeze cant even play the game i bought lol

i played this game twice on the ps4, its superb and truly fantastic. But downloaded via steam on my pc, sadly its difficult to get started as it crashes when expanding the page to a full screen. Really this day and age?

This game crashes with no way to close it without restarting my PC 8/10 times I try to start it. The other 2 times it seems to load fine but this makes it unplayable.

Mafia III – The Wasted Potential of a Grand Vision
Developed by Hangar 13 and marketed as a worthy successor to its iconic predecessors, Mafia III arrived with high expectations. Yet from technical failures to shallow storytelling, the game ultimately squanders its potential and delivers a deeply flawed experience.

Technical Issues: Frustration Before the Game Even Begins
My experience with Mafia III began not with excitement, but with troubleshooting. As someone who uses dual monitors, simply switching to the non-game screen caused the game to black out, put my main monitor to sleep, and continue running on the wrong display. At times, just launching the game turned into a tedious process. These fundamental problems are unacceptable, especially for a game released in the late 2010s.

Graphics and UI: A 2016 Game That Feels Like 2010
Despite being released in 2016, Mafia III’s visuals feel outdated. Texture quality, lighting, and character models all fall short of contemporary standards. While the city of New Bordeaux initially appears atmospheric, a closer look reveals an artificial and underdeveloped environment. The user interface is equally frustrating—navigating the settings is unintuitive, and bloated animations slow everything down further.

Story and Narrative: A Missed Opportunity for Depth
Lincoln Clay’s story centered on revenge and set against the racially charged backdrop of the American South had the potential to be powerful and emotionally resonant. Unfortunately, this potential is left mostly untapped. Conflicts with groups like the Haitians are presented with no real context, emotional weight, or character development. The result is a storyline that feels hollow and surface-level, failing to engage the player beyond basic plot points.

Mission Design: Repetitive and Soulless
The structure of Mafia III’s missions quickly grows tiresome. Capturing territory involves repeating the same tasks over and over again, making progress feel more like a chore than an adventure. Even major set pieces like the opening bank heist fail to deliver the impact they deserve. Instead of feeling like an epic moment, it comes across as a rushed tutorial, wasting a golden opportunity to hook the player from the start.

Music: The Game’s Lone Bright Spot
If there’s one area where Mafia III shines, it’s the soundtrack. Featuring legendary rock and soul tracks from the 1960s, the game successfully captures the sound of the era. Cruising through the streets while listening to Sam Cooke, The Rolling Stones, or Creedence Clearwater Revival can be immersive and evocative. Sadly, these musical moments can’t compensate for the game’s many structural flaws.

Conclusion: A Beautiful Shell with No Soul Inside
Mafia III had all the ingredients for greatness, an ambitious setting, a culturally charged narrative, and the legacy of a beloved franchise. But with its severe technical issues, shallow storytelling, and repetitive gameplay loop, it fails to capitalize on any of its strengths. Despite its stellar soundtrack and occasional atmospheric highs, Mafia III is a major disappointment. What remains is a game that constantly reminds you: this could have been so much more.

Heres why I like it.

Strong narrative-driven third-person shooter with a rich open world, set in 1968 New Bordeaux vibes. ✅

Features a compelling single-player campaign, ✅ no multiplayer. 🥲

Excellent voice acting, licensed soundtrack, and deep character arcs. ✅

Repetitive side missions that are repayable, but the story and atmosphere carry the experience. ✅

Got it a while ago. Played for a few hours but life took a hold again. Just now wanted to try it again. Took its time to install. Crashed three times upon loading. Uninstall. Extremely poor!! All money just gone and wasted, its just simply unplayable..

I have to say, my opinion of this game changed a lot on my second playthrough. The first time I played upon release, I was extremely disappointed—I had expected more of an "Italian Mafia" experience, and I felt the game didn't quite capture the essence of the Mafia franchise. Do I still feel this way? Yes. HOWEVER…

If you judge the game for what it is and truly immerse yourself in Lincoln Clay's story, it’s fantastic. A Vietnam War veteran on a brutal revenge mission, facing racism and betrayal, really embodies the essence of the Deep South during that era.

The map is incredible. Aside from Red Dead Redemption 2, this game captures New Orleans and the Bayou perfectly—it’s a unique setting for an open-world game, and I really appreciate that. The soundtrack is phenomenal too, delivering a Vice City-level of immersion with its radio stations. And the period-correct cars? A fantastic touch.

That being said, it is repetitive, but I’ve learned to enjoy it. I seriously can’t wait for the next Mafia game. Mafia III definitely doesn’t surpass Mafia II, but I still find it enjoyable.

Three hours in and the game felt already boring. Too many useless tutorials, couldnt change sound before I started the actual gameplay, menu navigation is shit. It feels like it wasnt made with passion or tested by casual people, more like it was created and that ended there. The story might be good (great setup and characters). Glad I tried it so that I can never play it again

I don't know if this game is good or bad however, after almost 10 years game doesn't even launch.

In order to fix it: "Steam\steamapps\common\Mafia III\Mafia3DefinitiveEdition.exe" %command%


Go to properties -> launch options and add this line. Game works like that in windowed mode but, if you try to make it fullscreen again it will just give you a black screen... AGAIN...

Found solution on a steam forum

There is no way I am buying Mafia Old Country without waiting for years to get it fixed. Sad part is I have waited years and years for them to fix this one yet it is still a broken mess.

Found a solution online;

1st - go to the game files and delete the launcher;
2nd - go to the game file (the exe file), go to properties, and disable full-screen optimization (it is at the compatibility tab);
3rd - in Mafia 2 and 3 I also had to disable the steam overlay, but I had no problems with Mafia DE.

Hope this helps.

Ok so I finally got a taste to play this game after like a year in my inventory. I launched the game and it instantly froze + the image was like 800x600. I alt tabbed and close the game. I've launched the game again and game froze again so i alt tabbed and found out the game is "running" when I am at the desktop, so I waited, changed the res to 2k and unlimited FPS (it was on 30 default lmfao) and guess what? THE GAME FROZE AGAIN!! So i decided to close it once again and give it last chance, so I pressed PLAY and guess what... FROZE AGAIN WITH 800X600 AND 30 FPS! Total trash! Don't buy this crap and save your money for something good

Driving fells off for me, i don't know if it's the floaty camera that keeps moving by itself in a set positions if i don't move the mouse or if it's the way the cars float on the ground with bad maneuverability.

Another thing is where is the mafia in this game? Where are the italian guys that form the mafia? Why am i playing a 'gangsta' brother from the hood? This is not a true mafia game!

STAY AWAY! The game doesnt work. And if it does its short lived... got about 4 hrs of gameplay and now it crashes before the game loads. Tried a bunch of fixes... but honestly shouldnt have to with a AAA title.... just dont

I just got this today on sale after mafia the old country had a trailer this was on sale and after trying to launch it twice with nothing but a black screen i dont know what to do im glad it was only 6$

Absolutely horrible. Cant even get the game to run. 5 crashes before I was even done with the opening cutscene. DO NOT BUY

I have been playing this game since on PC since it came out. that's Three platform Generations DDR 3, 4 and now 5. That is until the new update came out. Now my favorite game is unplayable. I now get a message that says (this computer does not meet the minimum requirements). My pc specs are: Ryzen 9 7900x
RTX 4070 TI Super and 32 gigabytes of memory. If anyone knows how to fix this issue let me know. Other wise
the game is dead

The game is good, but it has a lot of repetitive gameplay between the story and the achievements are buggy.

Very unstable. Once it accidentally did not quit and could play a while... but now again, cannot even start it.

It is should be a crime to sell old, unstable, unmaintained games for money. 9 years was not enough time to fix it up so not crash all the time... unfortunately i bought it long ago in a sale, so i cannot refund, but this game is a shame in the condition like that.

I've had this in my library for years. I never got it to launch and just tried for the first time in a while and it still doesn't launch. It crashes on the first load every time. Hangar 13, how do you expect anyone to be excited for The Old Country when your last game was this mess?

its a good game in terms of gameplay and the story is kind of interesting but it is so poorly optimised that the game hardly runs without bugs and occasionally crashing

Mafia 3 turned me into a conspiracy therorist. Game's so thoroughly broken--every single aspect of it in fact and I mean it--I'm hundred percent sure the entire Hangar 13 team got kidnapped by an alien race right after the development of this game concluded and got replaced by buncha members of that said alien race that happened to be actual competent game developers. There is no way the same team behind this worked on and produced Mafia: Definitive Edition later on, I ain't buying that narrative.

And like the game being a completely broken mess isn't enough, it pulls off one of the biggest bait-and-switch moments ever in the history of gaming as it starts out as a fine enough game with interesting side characters, a potentially compelling story and decent combat with great music with a combination of not only original work but also a great arrangement of licensed songs, yet only a couple hours in, everything gets thrown out of the window in favor of a completely unlikable cast of side characters, a mind-numbingly repetitive gameplay loop and an ultimately unintereting story starring a painfully one-dimensional main character; repetitive being the key aspect of it all. This might be the single most repetitive game I've ever played in my life, and since the things this game makes you repeat are also shockingly mundane, I can hardly call the entire experience the least bit enjoyable. There was only one, singular mission throughout the entire game I thought was enjoyable because it allowed some sorta freedom and rewarded my creativity but that's it, there are like hundreds of missions in the game and only one of 'em is a slightly fun one, unbelievable.

As a last note I want to reiterate how inherently and incomprehensibly broken Mafia 3 is because it can't even consistently launch. Every time you click that Play button, there is a high chance that the game's gonna crash after the intro sequence. My highest streak of crashing-at-launch was five. Which means at some point, I had to sit through the intro cinematic and the loading screen FIVE TIMES IN A ROW JUST TO PLAY THE DAMNED GAME. When you consider how almost any and every mission tends to get broken at any given time, requiring a complete restart (with loading to a previous checkpoint proving ineffective) that issue gets even worse. I painstakingly took note of almost any and all bug/glitch I've encountered and the list is as long as Big Smoke's order but I just wanted to highlight this one particularly because it's such a core issue.

Even the inclusion of Vito or the game's overall unique and documentary style presentation that I enjoyed, hell not even the great VA performances combined with brilliant mocap doesn't make this game canon in my head. As long as I'm concerned, this was just a fever dream of mine. If you value what's left of your sanity and your remaining time on this earth, I suggest you do the same and don't ever touch this game. It's not worth it.

There is no better soundtrack. I sometimes load up the game and just park on a hill and listen to the radio. I enjoyed playing the game as well. This was a good addition to the series.

Lots of wasted time, drive here, collect this, capture this, do it all by yourself. you are the boss yet you cant order people to take objectives, you have to do everything by yourself, not even a partner.Feels like busy work instead of having a direct story line to follow. Game freezes and crashes constantly. Doesn't follow the same story beat as 1 and 2, it feels more like assasin's creed, run around and do a million side objectives and the main story shows up after completing a zone. almost finished but not a fan of this, hope the new game, the old country, goes back to the old feel and not this.

Negatives (Constructive):
- The mission structure can feel repetitive at times, particularly in the later stages of the game.
- AI behaviour is inconsistent, with enemies sometimes acting unrealistically.

- While the open-world is visually stunning, it can feel underutilised with limited dynamic events.
- Long drive sequences without fast travel options might not appeal to every player.

Must play game, especially for Mafia Fans and Open world RPG Fans !

This is not a Mafia game, it is a repetitive slogfest. The mission design is something out of assassins creed (mainly Valhalla so absolute garbage). This game doesnt even track achievements properly. Please dont buy this expecting anything other than a grindfest that isnt entertaining at all

Would not recommend.
Game has nothing to do with the Mafia series, and is buggy.
Crashes, achievements earned and not received and generally many programming issues.
Developers should have spent more time writing code and less time coming up with a woke story to educate us.

The best review I have seen for this game is that this is a good game, but it's not a good Mafia game; a sentiment with which I concur.

This has a phenomenal story to it, very compelling characters, and personally the map and environment is one of my favorites I have seen in a game. The 1960s American South is such an important and compelling setting to stage a game, and the developers were able to capture the racial tensions of the era whilst not coming across too "edgy" nor is it too "woke". The racism is the background, not the forefront, and the game doesn't insist on any sort of moralism. The only thing that motivates the main character is vengeance, and the story goes to lengths to show that this too can be flawed.

The gameplay loop can be tiresome, I agree, but I found myself very interested in exploring otherwise forgotten and unlikely to be explored parts of the map due to needing to find fuses to hack telephone switchboxes, which unveil collectibles across the map. The attention to detail around the map is awesome.

I think there is some valid criticisms to the game, but overall I find it to be a great game if you are looking for an open-world crime-action game with incredible storytelling. If you are looking for a Mafia game, it is a departure from the first two titles but not so offputting that you should miss out on what is otherwise a fun ride.

Cant run in full screen mode and fps are limited to 60. Gameplay is repetitive and rather boring

This is not the Mafia story based games we have all fallen in love with.

This feels like a spin-off where Vice City meets True Crime.


For a moment forget about the mafia name attached to it and play it as a spinoff DLC featuring Vito and few other characters from Mafia 2.

The racket system, mission design is very solid.


Only issue I had was occasional crashes, could be fixed by disabling steam overlay, delete launcher file in game folder (win11) and disable full screen optimizations.

Overall a GOOD singleplayer experience of 40-50 hrs with DLCS.

Stealth is decent thought I miss being able to replenish health with food and what not..
Car customization is sick in this game best in the series!!

The whole "perks" system is alright but beats the whole point of losing cops or going solo when taking big enemy areas

8/10 Game grab it off sale and enjoy it!

Attempted to play the game, the furthest I've reached so far is the difficulty select screen without crashing. And according to the game's launcher, my 3060 Ti doesn't fulfil the game's minimum system requirements. Add to that the endless reports of achievements somehow being as bugged as they are, it is a mess of a game that will probably never get fixed.

the game wasn't even starting, so I came here to check reviews. lot of people mention something about game not running in full screen. so I tried that and voila! its running. and for some reason, game luncher tells me I don't have good enough system to run this game. b.tch I have a rig with 4070ti, I think it can run you cheap a.s, so called definitive edition game...

The best description I saw for this game was: If you've played the intro, you've played the entire game. I really tried enjoying it, but I've failed miserably.

Short: You need a GTA type of game ? This is your buggy game. You want another Mafia game ? Don't even think about it

Now, a real review
If this game would lose a point for each time it crashes on me, it will be -50/10, and we are only counting trying to open the game, because this buggy mess is going to crash on you after opening, make you watch THE LONGEST INTRO VIDEO EVER (get the mod to remove it, trust me), show you the autosave feature, then crash on you

The story is there, lets not talk about it

The shooting is... boring, but not so much if you consider that bugs can play against you so you may have to fight a boss arena without healing since the healing option is for some reason lock, the enemies won't give you ammo and you can actually punch the s*** out of everyone because the AI sucks
Stealth is an option, even when you go loud, because the AI is not even going to see someone in flames from your molotov and continue doing their activities like nothing happen

Honestly, it is a really, really bad and buggy game, even if they fix is some what how. I will only finish it because there is no other options on the market outside finishing GTA San Andreas or 4 for the who knows how many times already and I need something different. But otherwise ? Yeah, this game is really bad
And I'm writing this after jumping a red light, a cop start to follow me and the game crashed for no reason, again

The game keep crashing and can't even play in full screen.
This doesn't mean that I have got a low performance computer, my thing is RTX 4060

I should have zero issue running the game.
Good bye and peace

VSYNC is broken and crashes the game. (Can be enabled in your video card settings instead).
Charging money for games which don't work by default should be illegal. Why is it my job to find a fix for your games?
Steam needs better quality control.
(All Definitive Mafia games have the same bug)

Gameplay can be a tad repetitive but it's good fun driving, shooting and stabbing people, story is decent too I guess even if some of the characters aren't so likeable.
It's just a shame it's the buggiest piece of garbage, even still, years after release, comically so given the 'definitive' edition

One of the best games I have ever played. From the cars to weapons and the just the flow of the game. Very, very well made!

Too long of a grind, too many witnesses calling the police, too many repetitive tasks, too many items behind locked doors, rooms.

The story is good though and graphics too, however after so many years, they haven't fixed the occasional crashes and it is not compatible with Windows 11 as it just freezes on start if you don't run it in compatibility mode.

This game is just so fun, You really feel the raw experience that 2K was trying to show, with the brutality, racism and all around humor in the game. I played Mafia 1, 2 and now 3 and I don't understand some of the reviews that say "Mafia 1-2 feels more mafia than 3", just because you aren't in the Italian mob doesn't mean there weren't other mobs, examples the Hatian and Irish mobs. This game is supposed to be different and still pays tribute to the older games in many different ways. This game has more action than the past mafias combined, and the dlcs are pretty good. Mafia 1 is boring and it gets cut short, Mafia 2 is so glitchy, glitchy, glitchy. Mafia 3 has its fair share of glitches but they are easy fixes compared to the graphic errors in mafia 2. I really think people are hung up on the idea that because Lincoln Clay isn't Italian, this game is bad and that's total bs. Lincoln Clay is an Ex military running his own mob to take on Sal Marcono's and there is nothing like this in the past games at all, in the past games you get led into a room and shit hits the fan, in this game you take everything from the mob, its so satisfying and leaves me wanting more especially when I ended the game. I recommend this game purely because in the past mafias, you dont have any serious gunfights until 4 hours into a boring story switching between apartments, in this one you have serious gun fights not even 5 seconds into the game.

To no fault of the creators as they were being true to the time period, the music in this game is far superior to the ones in the past, so many classics rolled into one game.

The fact that this games reviews are so mixed speaks volumes of what people really think about the theme, that being said I loved this games theme and have only seen strides like this in Red Dead Redemption 2, where the game developers aren't afraid to display historical accuracy, and obviously this game is fictional but it relates heavily to that time period in american history, I love it. 10/10

One of the most underrated games I've ever played BUT...

The game is still buggy, the no grind mod is mandatory to keep a faster pace to the main plot and the missions are boilerplate as they come.

If you can get over that, you are treated to a unique setting with an excellent story, some high quality DLC and a killer soundtrack.

Feels like history has forgotten this game but there is an experience to be had if you have the patience

Absolutely AWFUL.

Completely bricks my PC, after opening the game it fullscreens to a black screen and renders my PC completely bricked requiring a hard shut shutdown.

If I open it and hard shutdown my PC and repeat it will eventually open after the 3rd/4th time and this caused me to go over the refund timer, id absolutely refund if I could. Ive tried literally every 'fix' online and nothing fixed this absolute joke of a software.

Almost didn't beat the game because it is so buggy. But besides that fact, the artistic vision of this game has illuminates strongly with this one. I like this game primarily because it exposes the dirtiness of American history during a time where division was clashing with unity. I'm gladly awaiting Mafia: Old Country after experiencing this peace of art.

Comming from Mafia 1 & 2 and honeslty, this just feels really boring. Since the end goal is set from the beggining (revenge), there is a very little story to talk about. Taking over territories should be honeslty a sidequest, but instead, it's used to fill-in the main game loop. The mafia has been always about the story, but this so called "story" is something you'd write for homework to school (and you'd get B).

God forbid I drive slighly close to the sidewalk, because the NPCs will just randomly jumping right into my car.

The police system is just awfull. You hit a car => you get shot by cops. Also, there are no star levels.

Overall, I didn't even bother to finish it, since the game keeps crashing at random points.

Conclusion: Save your time and rather than playing this, take a walk outside.

The most broken purportedly serious game ever, bar none. On launch instant CTD %85 of the time, multi monitor support straight outa 2004. If any overlay touches the screen, steam windows nvidia whatever you are now capped at 30 fps. random frame dips, permanent non linear mouse acceleration, mouse is not confined to the program which perfectly pairs with the none existent borderless window option to create a scenario where you are subtly conditioned to only rotate the camera left.

26 hours of playtime? yeah that's cause I didn't close the game once it actually opened, probably only about 6-8 hours in. We are now 3 for 3 on mafia games I sort of enjoyed but could not finish, cant wait for 4

The current top review kinda says it all. This game should be in a neutral category.
I usually keep refraining from writing reviews, but had to do it.

Although the setting is awesome and the racial tension is suspense, the gameplay and gameworld are lackluster. I like side missions, however you always have to drive through the ENTIRE map do complete them in Mafia 3. Which is not a problem in a game like GTA but here... To drive 5-10min in a barren landscape with heavy pop-in is just so.. boring.

The story starts off violently good. You get a reason, you get a narrative etc. But after two hours it just repeats itself. Drive to District A, kill everyone and capture the District. Drive to B, do the same all over again.

I don't leave games unplayed. Today I did.

Like this game. But i love style of Mafia 1, hope Mafia Old Country come with that styles

Mafia 3 is my first game in the series so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I really enjoyed this game and would easily recommend it to anyone that loves third person shooters. It has a great story thats interesting from beginning to end. The only issue with this game is that has tons of bugs and the gameplay can be extremely repetitive. If you don't find the story captivating then you may end up dropping the game because of its repetitive nature.
