When I first got my hands on Mafia 1 I was 8. It brought me to the world of video games and it will always have a place in my heart. But to be fair Id not pick that game up again in 2020 no matter how I love it, the graphics seem outdated, mechanics rather clumsy and Id not want to destroy the good memories I have playing it as a child. So when I heard Hangar 13 was planning on releasing a remaster I had to preorder it as soon as it was announced. Couple days after the release Ive finished the game and here I am with my review.

First of all, they did this game a justice. I absolutely love the updated graphics and the depth they added to the story, especially the details of a relationship between Tommy and Sarah. This remake felt more like a movie than the original one did and thats quite an achievement. I was glad some missions were shorter (they got rid of annoying driving and cut straight to the good stuff), but they also made some others longer by adding new interesting content. Another positive thing I really appreciated was that I was able to run this game on High settings in 4K on my budget outdated GPU (RX 580), really good job Hangar 13!
But now to the things I did not enjoy this much. One I hated the most was for sure movement. I seems like the main target for this game were consoles (bad job Hangar 13...). Most of a time it felt like either Tommy was drunk or my controls were inverted. If youre planning on playing this game brace yourself for hitting every wall around the doors you want to enter, randomly jumping out of a cover in the middle of a gunfight because you just wanted to change the cover, not being able to sprint on some occasions and tons of other impairments... This applies only for the walking tho. I have no complaints about driving and shooting. Maybe just one, It feels like Auto-aim is never really turned off. Even if I did turn it off in the menu I still felt my "crosshair" (another terrible mistake) was snapping to my enemies.
As for the story I mostly enjoyed new additions. The only exception was the ending scene. Dont wanna spoil anything but it sure felt better in the original one.

So the short summary:

Pros
new graphics
additions to the story and deeper characters
more movie-like

Cons
movement
only 10 hours long main story
crosshair

Overall Id rate this game as high as the original one or maybe a bit higher (maybe it was not clear from my review but i really love this game too). Id recommend playing this game to everyone who either played the original one or is completely new to the series. You will not regret it!

Well new Borderlands.. This series has always had a special place in my heart cause of its raw sense of humor and original plot. And pre-sequel is not different at all. It's as gripping and as addictive as previous episodes but during the whole game i had kind of weird feeling that i'd already done quest like this, i'd seen character like this or this area seems familiar. I couldn't help myself but it was following me through the whole game. But not to criticize only I'd like to point out new awesome features added to the gameplay such as low gravity and all things connected with it (The best thing/detail was that you cant ignite enemie while in vacuum and smacking the gound pretty hard). I really enjoyed playing as a claptrap with its "random" VaultHunter.exe skill mode but other characters are also playable. Also the laser beam gun is refreshing innovation but i would appreciate more if i wasnt forced to use it as much as i was (in sidequests) i would find my own way to this gun. Cryo element is the same story... All in all this game had an amazing potential and even higher momentum after flawless previous episodes but it didnt use it in its advantage. I wouldnt call it DLC or step back but it's not a step foreward either. The main reason why i enjoyed this game was the story which is inseparable part of my childhood and i was interested in knowing how it continued. To sum it, i wouldnt buy this game for full price in my opinion 15€ is enough. But it definitely worth playing at least for those awesome references to BL2.

8/10

At the beginning i want to thanks a lot to authors. I think it was the best game i've ever played. One reason is the story (it's also the reason why it's so popular), but the thing which do this game different than others is the fact that my girlfriend played it all with me and she accually liked it. :) So we want to reccommend it to other guys who wants to make their partner play video games. But there's also one negative thing. Many times we had to repeat the chapter because cinematic hadn't started. But we enjoyed the game at all. :)
