An inadvertent brush with the mob thrusts cabdriver Tommy Angelo into the world of organized crime. Initially uneasy about falling in with the Salieri family, the rewards become too big to ignore.
What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
May 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $5.99. It has been discounted 60 times in the 6 years tracked here, typically at 65 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 6 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 32 percent on value. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 76 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Mafia ($14.99, scores 73) beats it on value, while it beats Mafia II: Definitive Edition ($29.99, scores 31).
Critics scored it 78. Players sit 9 points higher at 87 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
Steam's global achievement data puts 50 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 8. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 9 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2026 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 53 percent of the 4,058 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
The game is really good; I think it's one of the best games that handles the mafia theme. I really liked the relationship and the sense of conflict between Tommy and Sarah. I was missing games that I could finish in one sitting without high expectations, so I finished this one in 10 hours. The racing section was where I cursed and went crazy, but I still finished it in a few attempts. If you haven't tried it and you...
Mafia: Definitive Edition is a benchmark for ground-up remakes and a glowing showcase of why the Mafia series remains my absolute favourite crime franchise in gaming. Rather than chasing generic open-world padding, it delivers a hyper-focused, cinematic mob masterpiece. PROS Unmatched Storytelling: Outstanding voice acting, motion capture, and dynamic character writing that feel straight out of a classic mob film...
Незважаючи на те що проходив я її пів року, це чудесна гра Сюжет ніби в фільмі, і мабуть не знаю такої гри яка має щось схоже.

Mafia: Definitive Edition scores 54/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/1030840/mafia-definitive-editionThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 15, price as of Sep 24.
