Though Mafia III has a strong story, great setting and some satisfying mechanics, the mind-numbing repetition and technical issues make it a letdown compared to its predecessors...
There's so much potential, but next to none of it comes to fruition. Repetitive missions, a shallow world, and oblivious AI are only somewhat saved by a remarkable storyline...

Resumen: Any writer will tell you that the intro is the hardest part. Take this review. Intro stinks already.That's true for video games, too. Few nail the opening beats, and that can often make or break the whole experience. Don't explain the mechanics clearly an...

An exercise in apathy, neither solid nor liquid. Not exactly bad, but not very good either. Just a bit "meh," really. How we score: The Destructoid Reviews Guide...

Resumen: Mafia III has one of the best stories about racism in America in the historical context of New Orleans (called New Bordeaux) during 1968. It tells the tale of a mixed-race African-American man, Lincoln Clay — a veteran of the special forces in Vietnam — a...

Resumen: Some gamers believe that we should omit politics from our games, but that's a nearly impossible feat. The games we play reflect the times in which they were created, and creators are likely to include their political opinions intentionally or not. Hangar...
