The first time I played Mafia definitive edition, I was blown away by how beautiful the world actually looks. It feels exactly like 1930s New York and driving through it is a treat. The other massive strength of this game is the good characters, voice acting, and story. The characters feel like real people, and the relationship with Paulie is fleshed out particularly well. The story is done masterfully, conveying the various eras of the Salieri vs Morello war and how Tommy's place in the mafia and his relationship with Sarah grows. The end the story gives a great conclusion on the downfalls of joining the mafia and how it is a contract that you can't escape.
The only negative that I would give this game is that it doesn't take advantage of the beautiful world that it has created. After the game, there is not much to do besides collect magazines and foxes, which is quite boring. The game would have a lot more content if it had more places where you could interact with characters and complete missions. However, the main story is amazing and is definitely worth playing.
