Mafia II Definitive Edition

Mafia II follows Vito Scaletta from a Sicilian childhood through the war and into the Empire Bay mob, across the 1940s and early 1950s. It is a crime drama first and an open world second — the city is there to drive through between chapters, not to fill with icons. That focus is the point. The story is tightly scripted, the period detail is unusually careful, from the cars and the radio stations to the way the seasons change between acts, and the friendship with Joe Barbaro carries most of the weight. Combat mixes third-person cover shooting with melee, and driving models heavy period cars with a speed limiter for anyone who would rather not be pulled over. The Definitive Edition remasters the 2010 original with rebuilt lighting, textures and character models, and bundles all three story expansions: The Betrayal of Jimmy, Jimmy's Vendetta and Joe's Adventures. Single-player only. The Definitive Edition is the only version sold, and it includes the remaster plus all three story expansions and four cosmetic packs. Keys activate on Steam or Xbox — despite what some listings suggest, there is no GOG key for this game.
