Unusually for a shooter, the story is the real reason to play – this is something Mafia: Definitive Edition has in common with its source material. It makes each of its leading men seem trapped, melancholy and fallible in their own ways. This is faithful to the original's arc and themes, but more dense with dialogue and characterization.

Well-acted cutscenes break it all up – while the original game looks like it's acted by Thunderbirds puppets by today's standards (though for the time it was fantastic), the presentation of the story in Mafia: Definitive Edition makes it feel convincingly cinematic. You'll gun down rival goons in a church, on a cruise liner and in a bank, among other lavishly-rendered locations. Mafia is pleasingly uncomplicated: you shoot your way through a whole bunch of set piece-heavy missions that follow the arc of the original game.
