The old country's recent play has fans rolling their eyes

In just a month, Mafia will be officially released over all major consoles and PCs and marked the first Mainline Mafia game since Mafia 3 2016. Before the publication, Studio Hangar shared 13 nine minutes of play with IGN, including some stealth, driving and story.

It should be enough to drum up interest in the game. But those who have seen the game are not convinced, with many who are disappointed by what they saw.

Mafia: The old country digging its open world is good

Hanger 13 has the right to create a shorter, more curated experience.

In order to be fair, Mafia has never been a revolutionary title

“All I can say is that I'm glad I'm not pre -ordered,” wrote a fan in the official Mafia subreddit. Another added partly, “As expected, the game is in no way revolutionary or new – the story and atmosphere will have to carry the game.”

Others in the thread pointed out what the stealth animations and the game of the execution looked strange like Mafia 3, a game that is almost a decade old.

For what it is worth, revealed take-two back in May that the game would come in at a price point of $ 49.99, $ 30 lower than most games start shopping for. The lonely should have been enough to give players an idea of ​​what they can expect to be released.

“I don't like to be negative, but it looks like something from 2013, and it's an insult for some games that came out that year,” another player wrote hard. The frustration is evident, but it is worth remembering that 2013 also gave us precious stones as foreigners: Colonial Marines and Saints Row IV, which is not exactly banner titles either.

Other threads on Reddit shared many of the same emotions, with the negativity largely drowns those who are happy to play the game. In the end, nine minutes of play is just that … nine minutes. While Mafia: The old country will not be a 60-hour rush, it will still have a certain length, which means that they are nine minutes just a small representation of the game.

In other words, we have to wait until next month to see if things are as “generic” as they seem.
