  • Open world
  • Strong, story-driven narrative
  • Dark, serious atmosphere

A cinematic gangster drama set in 1930s Lost Heaven, following cab driver Tommy Angelo's rise within the Salieri crime family. Authentic period cars, punishing shootouts and one of the finest stories of its era make it a classic.

Mafia II

Open world

A cinematic gangster saga set in postwar America, following Vito Scaletta's rise through the mob with cover shooting, period car chases and rich 1940s–50s atmosphere. Empire Bay is less a playground than a lovingly detailed backdrop for a tight, linear crime story.

Mafia: The Old Country

Realistic visuals

A linear, cinematic crime saga set in early 1900s Sicily, following Enzo Favara's rise from forced laborer to Mafia soldier. Cover shootouts, knife duels and stealth sections serve a richly atmospheric story of loyalty and family.

Sleeping Dogs

Open world

As undercover cop Wei Shen, you infiltrate the Triads in a neon-lit Hong Kong, brawling through kung-fu-movie style melee with counters and brutal environmental takedowns, plus car chases. Its tale of torn loyalties between police and gang is the real hook.

The Godfather

Realistic visuals

An open-world action game set in 1940s-50s New York where you rise through the Corleone family ranks by extorting businesses and taking over rival territory. Its film-faithful atmosphere and characters are the main draw.

Grand Theft Auto IV

Open world

As immigrant Niko Bellic, you chase the American dream through the gritty, living metropolis of Liberty City, only to sink deeper into crime and revenge. It tells a darker, more grounded story than earlier entries while keeping the series' sharp satire.

Driv3r

Realistic visuals

As undercover cop Tanner you race and shoot your way through Miami, Nice and Istanbul, hopping into any vehicle while chasing a car theft ring. It is known for its ambitious sandbox structure, but also for high frustration and technical rough edges.

True Crime: New York City

Realistic visuals

As a cop in a large recreation of New York, you shoot, brawl and drive through a crime story voiced by Hollywood actors. Playing as a straight or corrupt officer shifts missions and the story somewhat.

Mafia III

Open world

As Vietnam veteran Lincoln Clay, you wage a revenge war against the mob in 1968's New Bordeaux and divide conquered districts among your lieutenants. Its gripping, unflinching story about racism and its iconic period soundtrack shine, even if the missions get repetitive.

Alan Wake

Lavish presentation

A novelist hunts for his vanished wife in a misty Pacific Northwest town, fighting shadowy possessed foes with flashlight and gun while the pages of a manuscript he doesn't remember writing come true. Its TV-series-style episodic storytelling and eerie atmosphere are the main draw.
