TripleADigest also said that there won’t be a demo available for Mafia: Definitive Edition. The same was true for Mafia III at launch, but then 2K did release one eventually.
Our Dave got his hands on a preview build of Mafia: Definitive Edition recently, enjoying his time in the remade Lost Heaven.
[…] the fact is that these complaints are incredibly minor, there is still plenty of time for fixes and improvements, and even in the current PC build of the game, I find myself incredibly pleased and impressed overall.
The Mafia series has been troubled recently. Not all critics were fond of Mafia III, and the less said about the Mafia II Definitive Edition, the better. But Mafia Definitive Edition is a true return to form. The story is engaging, the cutscenes are beautiful, and I find myself far more interested in the series than I ever have been before. If you, like me, haven’t really found yourself interested in the Mafia series in recent years, then this might be the game to change your mind. Without a doubt, Mafia: Definitive Edition is the next open-world game I’ll be finishing.
