Out of the entire Mafia series, this is by far the one that is the most high brow and grounded in the entire series, long leaving behind the tropes of American mobster films that inspired the originals, but all for the absolute benefit of a more realistic story with considerable artistic value. Sincerely and tremendously well researched, even a native Italian playing the game in its high effort and genuine Sicilian dub, would find themselves easily mistaking it for an Italian game from the ground up. Of course, its safe to say the most appropriate way to play the game is in Sicilian, but it should be noted that there is a clear difference in the localization text and subtitles between the languages. The english subtitles are close enough, but fundamentally, many instances and nuance are lost. Above all, Silician spoken is far more vulgar and characters come off as more sinister, mean spirited and generally more in line with the mid-to-low-brow attitudes of the Southern Italian mafioso sort. Some small errors persist, such as the utilization of far more modern terms like "guarda" and the fact that the guarda themselves still primarily speak in Sicilian dialects, when in reality they would be more diverse as much of these forces would have been transferred in from other parts of Italy, as per the tradition of those forces. Strangely enough, the game does have a small scene that illustrates a large number of the recruits are from Sardinia and must hold themselves to the higher standards, but ultimately, everyone encountered will be extremely Sicilian in dialect, accent and personality. Mafia: Old Country does not sanitize its setting and while it certainly tells a more modern story than arguably, many of its own entries in the series, it is ultimately a story that takes place in a very conservative time in a very conservative country. In other words, the politics and attitudes of the time are hardly progressive and many people are victimized by the traditions of their culture, families, oaths and religion. This makes for a stunningly realistic narrative that subverts a lot of the media that otherwise glorifies the Mafia. The game's location does not shy away from its intense poverty and the disgusting, violent attitudes that the criminals embody in more than just attitude, but as a way of life. The setting itself is absolutely gorgeous, capturing the distinct fact that while Southern Italy has more in common geographically with North Africa than the rest of Southern Europe, it is still utterly one of the great wonders of the world in terms of pure natural aesthetic. The developers did a fantastic job of capturing the sizzling heat, extremely bright days and in other instances, the thick fog and damp evenings and early mornings. The graphic fidelity of the game is definitely higher than the average unreal game, with relatively good optimization with some small hitching in driving sequences, but other than that, the game boasts masterful environments, expressive and human-like characters and an abundance of immersive animations. All of this plays well into the fact that the game deliberately holds itself at a grounded, slower pace and while it does allow itself to be cinematic, it tries to not break your suspension of belief, maintaining a considerable realism without becoming boring. Not all players will appreciate the deliberate pacing of the game, but they will find that the combat itself is very reactive, responsive and the controls are hardly ever your enemy in this game. For what it is, it is a huge improvement over the combat in the Mafia 1 remake and the utilization of period-accurate weapons only make the battles more exciting, stressful and unique, with all of its shotgun-reliance, bolt action rifles, pre-stripper clip era rifles and multitudes of revolvers. When semi automatics and long-shotguns do get introduced near the end, they are a welcome way of making the gunplay feel like an evolution of itself and it certainly allows for variety of choice. The knife fighting and knife mechanics add a lot to the game in adding much needed variety, but still, many of the best parts of the game are spent in long drives with charming characters, who are written with an incredibly high level of competency for a game. There are plenty of horses too. And for the absolutely masochistic, another painfully difficult, poorly made race sequence returns as a trademark of the franchise. But I have to admit, as painful as the race was, the context of it and the humour present in it, makes up for the frustration mechanics and clearly scripted, linear functions of it. Old Country is definitely a game for those who always wanted something that felt more real and serious than the past entries in the series, one that is not full of movie-borrowed tropes or obnoxiously in love with trying to be better and richer than its arch rivals such as GTA. This prequel manages to fully embrace being its own thing and feels well at home with the tone and presence of the first game's remake. All in all, it is massively rewarding for fans of the original and remake, but also is happy to welcome back those who played the other games. Logging in with my linked account and being greeted with Vito's handgun from Mafia 2 is one of those little things that genuinely shows how much the developers acknowledges its small but die hard fan base. The Czechs have, once again, proven that not only can they make better guns and beers than the Germans, but they can sure as hell make better games than them too. I honestly will not be surprised to see this studio further rise to compete with the giant that CDPR is becoming and I am sincerely sure that the next game they make will be once again, steps in the right direction. Most studios in their position are in stasis, constantly stepping forward and backwards and running around in a vicious circle of chasing themselves. But for once, we see a game that choses to master what it already does right instead of chasing the gimmicky innovations of other titles. The game, does however, have some strenuous stealth sections which can be a bit frustrating due to how long it takes to reload a checkpoint. Some scenes feel a bit antiquated from a different era of gaming, but everything that masters the most is really polished and refined. Definitely not made for the inattentive gamer who appreciates more chaos and free roam games, Mafia is a story and character driven game that just happens to have a beautiful map connected with it. But for those who want what it is offering, it delivers on all of its promises and will surely surprise as well.
