Jeuxvideo.com (80 out of 100): “Mafia is finally back to its former glory, and this remake is a good starting point for those looking to immerse themselves in a more forgiving game. At the same time, fans will appreciate the makeover, which does not betray the original experience, although it feels dated in places

Gamer.nl (65 out of 100): “Mafia: Definitive Edition is enough to bring back fond memories, but it won’t let newbies understand why the original is considered legendary
