Mafia: The Old Country, on paper, contains a lot of promise for the series. It’s a return to linear form, eschewing the biggest problem with Mafia III; it brings players to the earliest period of this series’ timeline; and it’s set in the mafia homeland of Italy, refreshing the formula with Sicilian countryside instead of East Coast metropolis. Though it’s a beautiful game, with an excellent Sicilian dub to boot, it unfortunately leaves a lot on the Don’s table, failing to rise to the promise of its premise. Its story is fun and serviceable, but predictable and devoid of any surprise. And its gameplay is repetitive and will leave you yearning for something more, much like the rest of the game.
