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.

Mafia II

Strong, story-driven narrative

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.

Sleeping Dogs
