The Old Country’s old school, and deliberately so. In response to criticism Mafia 3 got when it came out about a decade ago, the developers have opted not to keep trying to evolve what a Mafia game is with a revised approach, but instead to push back against the inevitable onslaught of time.

Old Country dials down the experience compared to the bloated open world of Mafia III and goes for something much more linear, but exploration remains a treat as a result. It does, however, clash with video game must-haves such as the player’s “Instincts” that let them highlight stuff in the environment.
