Mafia II: Definitive Edition Reviews
Mafia II: Definitive Edition doesn't offer any extra content compared with the original version but still impress me with the immersive story and decent gameplay even after a decade. The graphic improvement doesn't stand out but there is no doubt that Definitive Edition is the best way to experience the adventure.

Despite not being a full on remake and still retaining the flaws of the original game, Mafia II Definitive Edition is a fairly enjoyable experience that, thanks to a good work of remastering, works decently ten years after its first release

The remaster of Mafia II remains a great opportunity totally missed by the publisher to turn the bad memories, softened anyway by nostalgia, into a new worthwhile adventure. Instead, we received a console port put together haphazardly and without any care or consideration. The Definitive Edition of Mafia II dooms the game to go down in history as an experience that went from bad to worse.
Mafia II itself is brilliant. Despite the fact that its gameplay and graphics haven’t aged well, the story and the details make me recommend it to newcomers. However, Mafia II – Definitive Edition is not really a remaster, it’s more of a flawed and indolent port

Although Mafia 2: Definitive Edition is full of bugs and glitches and the gameplay feels a bit dated, it is still a fun experience especially for the fans of the series, and as soon as updates and patches start to roll out, we can expect a much more stable game.

Mafia II stood out during the last generation of consoles for all the right reasons. This is why it is not surprising that in 2020 it is as entertaining as it was before. Sadly, Mafia II: Definitive Edition turns out to be a remaster that is far from reaching the heights of the original. It is not a catastrophic product at any means, but Mafia fans deserve more.

In 2020, Mafia 2 is a game greater than the sum of its parts. It shows its age in several areas, and though flawed, it still has its merits.
At its core, Mafia II: Definitive Edition is a good game. Its mechanics don’t impress like they used to, but they get the job done.
10 years ago, Mafia 2 was one of my best experiences in video games, but now Mafia II Definitive Edition is a "not so good experience" just because of its awful remastering quality that is one of the worst and even adds some new problems to gameplay. Story, level designs and characters are still amazing, but the game has so many technical problems with almost zero effective improvements.

Mafia II: Definitive Edition needed more polishing for sure as it is filled with technical issues that could've been avoided, the game in itself is worth playing provided you can ignore all the technical shortcomings.

Mafia II is back with gently enhanced edition. There should be more improvements, however it is still great game.

Mafia II tells one of the best character-driven stories in all of gaming and it does so in a masterful way. Its gameplay may not deviate from genre norms yet it remains a wholly immersive and gripping tale that you'll want to see through to its jaw-dropping end.
Mafia II: Definitive Edition offers a fantastic tale combined with a solid set of visual upgrades. Unfortunately, it is hampered by bugs and some missing quality of life upgrades.
No game has me feeling like a member of a mobster family, quite like Mafia II!
Mafia II: Definitive Edition is like food that is visually rated below average, but whoever dares to grab a bite, will not stop until their plate is clean.

Mafia II returns with Definitive Edition. A new opportunity to discover the history of Vito Scaletta with visual improvements. A plot full of violence, blood and loyalty. Empire Bay is dominated by the families of the most feared gangsters of the 40s and 50s. Vito will return from the war in search of the American dream, but will he manage to find a place in organized crime?

Mafia II is still the game I know and love from 2010, with memorable missions, characters and a tone and time period that it nails as well as LA Noire. But there’s no denying this Definitive Edition is not in an optimal state.
Mafia II: Definitive Edition isn't so...definitive. Technical problems, lackluster graphics and dated gameplay mechanics make for a package that is difficult to recommend.
