Unlike the previous games, Mafia III does a lot with the world. Lincoln will assist civil rights activists, chase down a former CIA agent who stole a nuclear bomb, and engage an insane religious cult. The DLC storylines aren’t as gripping as the main story but they are somewhat interesting. The story does touch on multiple subjects including loyalty, betrayal and racism which is extremely rampant. The voice performances are phenomenal and the plot is conveyed through both interactions and cut scenes including documentary-style cut scenes detailing how Lincoln became one of the biggest crime bosses in New Bordeaux. I really enjoyed the story and the way it was presented. Lincoln plans to get to Sal by taking over his rackets and eliminating his underbosses. Rather than showing players what it’s like to be a recruit and/or soldier in a Mafia family, it shows players what it’s like to essentially run their own criminal organization. Mafia III is a little different than its predecessors. Lincoln is shot in the head but manages to survive and when he recovers, he seeks revenge against Marcano. After Lincoln and his friends rob the Federal Reserve, Sal arrives to collect his cut and then him and his crew proceed to kill Lincoln’s family and friends. Lincoln intends to leave for California but stays to help his father cover his debt to mob boss Sal Marcano. Set in late 1960’s Louisiana, in the fictional city of New Bordeaux, the player is put in the shoes of Lincoln Clay, a Vietnam veteran who returns home and reunites with his surrogate father and Black Mob leader. A version containing all of the DLC titled Mafia III: Definitive Edition was released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in May, 2020. Developed by Hangar 13 and published by 2K Games, Mafia III was released for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in October, 2016. The next game in the series shows us what it’s like to be a gangster in the 1960s. These games are simply doors to a criminal fantasy but for the protagonists, that fantasy is a life full of fear, bloodshed and often betrayal. Mafia II showed us what the life was like in the 1940s and 1950s. The original Mafia and its remake showed us what life as a gangster was like in the 1930s.
