No open world

Sure, €50 isn’t a bargain, but it’s no longer the standard price for a full-price game from a well-known series and a major publisher. We would have expected €60 or even €70 in advance. But then we also thought that Mafia: The Old Country would get another open world.

However, a FAQ has now been posted on the game’s website, stating that the latest installment will be the first in the seriesnot to feature an open world It will be a completely linear story-driven game with a focus on action.

The trailer reveals more about the gameplay

As expected, apart from some intense shootouts, the gameplay also features a lot of close combat, in which antihero Enzo takes on his enemies with a knife. But he can apparently throw it too, or use it from ambush during various stealth passages. The reason for the focus on close combat is also the setting, as we find ourselves in a time and place where firearms were not a matter of course.

Another nice detail is the destructible objects. Apparently, the various level areas are packed with all kinds of items that can be broken in a hail of bullets and set nearby enemies on fire.

Apart from the shooting, we see a lot of car chases. Both in cars and on horseback, which was also known beforehand and has the same reasons as the limited weapon selection.

less money than expected.
