Mafia: Definitive Edition might not be the most word-for-word retelling of the 2002 original's ambitious story, but it certainly feels more true to the series' utterly unique identity than anything released after 2010's Mafia 2—with the numerous subtle changes to the game's storytelling more firmly establishing the game's time period and the devastating effects of the Great Depression. It is developer Hangar 13 confidently stating that, despite having previously made the worst game in the series (2016's Mafia 3), they clearly understand what makes the series tick at its best—this is not only the definitive way to play Mafia 1, it's arguably the definitive piece of crime fiction games have to offer.
