Mafia 3 early impressions - I fell into a burning gameplay loop
It all started so well; scripted level design, great cinematography and direction, brilliant performances and animation. I might of known things wouldn't stay at that level. Mafia 3 has a fantastic opening, one that will get you falling in love instantly, nodding your head as 'Paint It Black plays effortlessly to the events on screen. It feels distinctively 'Mafia' especially to the fans of the more linear nature of Mafia 2. A stark contrast to what the game turns into afterwords, it makes you wonder if an Assassins Creed game really did get released this year but under a new guise.
