Mafia is free on Steam until September 5

Mafia has been made available as a free game on Steam, for those who missed out on this classic, in celebration of its 20th anniversary on PC.
If you’re planning to jump right in with Mafia, one thing to bear in mind is to temper your expectations with the graphics. Of course, this is a game from two decades ago, so unsurprisingly, it looks dated – although the rest of the experience and atmosphere easily makes up for that. Particularly if you’re the type of gamer who can rely on their imagination more, and not be niggled by the appearance (and potential glitches here and there) of an older game.
There are options to improve the graphics, mind, as there are community modpacks out there to pep up the visuals (such are the joys of PC gaming, of course). Or alternatively, you could purchase and play the remake, Mafia: Definitive Edition, which has a full upgrade in terms of all the graphical bells and whistles.
One thing to note is that going by critical feedback, not everyone is happy that the Definitive Edition doesn’t hold to the original in terms of tweaks to the storytelling, most notably some more contemporary framing around things like dialogue. That said, we felt the reboot was a fine effort.

Apr 4, 2016 · Organized crime has inspired some of the best films and television shows ever – Godfather, GoodFellas, and The Sopranos, to name a few. And though a handful of games have tried, few have successfully captured the feel of gangster movies. But with Mafia: City of Lost Heaven, Czech developer Illusion Softworks has done something quite unique.
