Part 4 of Geekaloud's play through of Mafia: Definitive Edition..

From the Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia:_Definitive_Edition):
Mafia: Definitive Edition is a 2020 action-adventure game developed by Hangar 13 and published by 2K Games. A remake of the 2002 video game Mafia, it was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 25 September 2020, both individually and as part of the Mafia: Trilogy pack, which also includes remastered versions of Mafia II & III. Set within the fictional city of Lost Heaven (based on Chicago) during the 1930s, the story follows the rise and fall of taxi driver-turned-mobster Tommy Angelo within the Salieri crime family. As a remake, the game improves on the original's gameplay, remaking the entire setting, enhancing mission dynamics and utilising a new voice cast. It also introduces motorcycles, absent from all previous installments of the Mafia series.

The game received favorable reviews from critics, with praise for revitalizing the story, performances, and graphics, yet faced some criticism over its animations and artificial intelligence.

Conceived as a full remake of the original, Mafia: Definitive Edition was built from the ground up with new assets and an expanded story, although missions and arcs from the original game are carried over. As with the 2002 game, players control Tommy Angelo throughout the game's single-player campaign, and its world is navigated on foot or by vehicle. New to the remake is the introduction of motorcycles, a first in the series. Mafia: Definitive Edition's gameplay mechanics are based on those of Mafia III. A 'Classic Difficulty' setting is also included, serving as the game's hardest difficulty setting that changes some gameplay mechanics such as ammunition management and police response to crimes, bringing the game closer to the original 2002 game.

Outside the main story mode, a separate Free Ride mode is included "as a nod to the original game", allowing the player to explore the city at their own leisure without any mandatory mission objectives. Unlike the original game however, Free Ride and Free Ride Extreme are merged into one game mode, with the latter's outlandish and over-the-top side missions incorporated into the main Free Ride segment as hidden secrets to be uncovered by the player.
