I picked up “Mafia: Definitive Edition” cheap the other day (I’ve linked it on Steam as it’s still on sale for the next few days).
I was a fan of Mafia (the original from 2002) and felt it was cheap enough to give it a shot and I’m glad I did: besides the infamous/arduous racing level I found it to be very enjoyable overall.
I was sad to see that there wasn’t any “Freeride Extreme” in the latest version (this was bonus, fun, ludicrous content, available after completing the game) as it would have been a nice addition, the “Freeride” mode is likewise a little lackluster but the actual campaign is great.
What was the last game you finished? Was it any good?
Sea of Stars. I liked it but it felt kind of thin. I wish they had had a bigger budget. It really feels like there should have been a third chapter and it feels like things are left hanging. I didn’t get the super true final ending but still felt like there should have been more depth in general. It’s a beautiful game with a surprisingly good and strong narrative. The game play was solid but didn’t really grow much over the course of the game.
They reinvested basically every dollar they made on The Messenger to make this. I’m not sure it could’ve ever been a bigger budget without an entirely different studio - making it a completely different game.
