The highly anticipated return of the Mafia saga is here, and it’s left no one indifferent. Just hours after its official release, Mafia: The Old Country has already accumulated dozens of reviews and first impressions globally, with an overall average score hovering around the high end of the scale in most media outlets.

With a more cinematic approach and an atmosphere centered around early 20th-century Sicily, this installment presents itself as a prequel that bets on linearity and narrative, moving away from the traditional open world to reinforce immersion. Many highlight the more mature and focused tone, and although not everyone agrees on their assessments, the overall criticism is being favorable.
