The game did not participate in the agreement.
Recently, Studio Hangar 13 was released Mafia: Old country, the continuation of cultivation. For the new part, the initial attitude is vague. Some people desire the world to open from the game, while others, on the contrary, are happy in the room and the corridor. In addition, someone complained about replacing the background from the US in the middle of the last century, and someone called Sicily in the early 1900s with an ideal location.
After the release, the dispute only strengthened. On each forum, there are people who praise the game about the image and the atmosphere or are made for an outdated game. Who is right? Alas, both sides.

Mafia: Old country: How to play?

The atmosphere of the old “mafia” is perfectly conveyed
At one time Mafia 3 scold the bugs, too much of the task of grinding and monotonous. But the statement is that this is simply not a mafia. The game lacks characteristic comfort, leisurely to the top, talking about family and honor. But in the new part of this atmosphere exceeded. The old country not only regenerated the mood before, it copied the first part in many ways.
In the eyeball, our Enzo hero is an exploitation and almost a slave. He flees from cruel owners and will be adjacent to their main rivals for the family. You guess what will happen next: First you bring the boxes and clean the stable, then step by step you to the top and participate in the criminal war. There will be familiar races both on horseback and car back, and even love in the boss's daughter.
Do not expect something unusual from the story. The old country is an absolute classic work of this genre, where people are repeating the honor, getting brothers, burning in all directions and experiencing betrayal. Someone will call this approach obsolete, but someone seems to return to the good old days, when people admire “glory people” and “godfather”.
The developers themselves certainly did not worry about this and even were forced to look for cliché words in one of the missions, although to produce fake bills. Players are also worth relaxing and allowing stories to develop. Because it is not complicated, but seductive and like a classic film. The acceptance in the family, partying with New Brothers, banned from love, conflict with the sworn enemies, a desperate struggle for power – there is a certain romance in this.
Emotions enhance itself. Sicily turned out to be an amazing place: It was always sunny, throwing another great look, clinging to the richness of the details in each room. Looking at the city and seeing linen on the window, hanging flags, overwhelmed by the market. Go to the orange field and admire the stubborn hard -working people, fruit boxes, scattered scratches. Anywhere has been done for the smallest detail and deserves screenshots!
Dissolve in peace and stories are easy for a reason: this is a rare linear game, where nothing makes you distract. There is a pair of additional tasks besides the main tasks, and many collectors such as newspapers and images. If not, you just need to rush in a straight line. Therefore, the feeling of a pleasant criminal adventure created – in fact, an interactive movie. After blockbuster films have open world, it is pleasant to switch to this. Still Mafia It is not pretended to be a big game in ideas or at price.
The game was cruel outdated
To describe the ancient play, I will give an example. Once you are instructed in jail and withdraw an important prisoner from it. The surrounding is full of guardians, so you can make noise. If you pay attention, the task will be interrupted and you will return to control.
Forced stealth is bad, but tolerance if developers store interesting mechanisms. However, at Arsenal, the old country is basic and mediocre tools. Enzo hid behind the corners, illuminated the opponent with the mafia instinct, distract them with a bottle and slowly strangled through a boring qte. You can cut it quickly, but the knife is limited, and it is spent, including hacking door and money box. Therefore, more often you will squeeze the guards, and not a blade.
With such ability, the mission turned into an absolute Nudyatin. You are waiting for boredom on your face, while a guard turns away, and with the same boredom, you break the bottle to distract the other person. Slowly blow the next goal. Extremely slow slowly along the corridor. And God forbids you to receive, then a part of the road will have to be done again. Even the desire to be added by the fact that the mandatory stealth still ends in the doodles of these guardians.
It seems that such levels should be destroyed from the gaming industry. However Mafia: The old country continuously threw the same entertainment.
When it comes to shooting, you … just shoot. The enemy responds to restraints of shots: basically they simply absorb bullets and only fall convincingly when HP drops to 0. Between photos from two names and rifles, the difference is only at distance and damage, otherwise they are similar.
However, shooting is still more fun than fighting on the knife. But it is the last mechanism that all struggles are built. You have a few shots, defeat and escape, so tighten all the important enemies with their help. The first pair of hands seemed stylish and happy, but then you dreamed of a button to ignore them.
Even in the game there are cars and dancing. They were not realized, but nothing special. Just go forward, fit and slow down the right point. In general, these are all the mechanisms provided by the game. The problem is not very few of them. A mistake in the study, this rushed from terrible people to the city will go.
Is it possible to scold the old country for such an outdated game? Sure. Anyway, it is very bad when related to the game. Because this is a linear adventure, but in recent years has not been desperate is not enough. Because the paragraph takes about 10 hours and has no time to finally get tired. Because the atmosphere of the same mafia mafia has been posed, and the image is great.
Mafia: Old country: Is it worth playing?
The answer depends on your expectations. If you believe in the working and modern play, you will quickly disappoint. However, if you are ready to plunge into a simple but stylish story in a beautiful world for 10 hours – in fact, in a classic movie about mafia – you can hardly be disappointed.
