So, in the end, is “Mafia 3” worth the money? We’ve seen some clashing opinions in this regard, but most fans seem pleased with what the game has to offer.
Steam reviews are currently in a mixed state, so there seems to be a large portion of displeased players among those who’ve bought it. Anyone considering investing in “Mafia 3” should definitely go through the most recent, popular user reviews.
Critics seem to be fonder of the game, on the other hand. This has raised some questions among gamers about the legitimacy of some reviews we’ve seen, considering the contrast between them and what fans are saying. But in many cases, this is actually normal.
Combined with the decision to avoid sending out review copies, this definitely paints the game in a suspicious light and makes fans rightfully wonder if the developers knew they had a sub-par product and wanted to hide it all along.
It’s not like it would be the first time we’ve seen this happening in the industry, and sadly it actually seems to be becoming a trend among some developers at this point. 2K Games are not traditionally one of them though, so hopefully this was a one-time mistake and the developers are going to polish the current issues with some additional patches. After all, most of the negativity seems to be focused on the technical performance of the game, not its actual gameplay.
