Mafia 3. I’m probably half way through and starting to get burnt out by the grind and the buggy nature of the game. It is infected by Ubisoft formula, but it’s much more notorious and less fluid. Glad they are going a different route for Mafia 4

Sas to hear, Mafia 2 was at the time it released my favorite “gta” type game and one of my favorite cinematic experiences in gaming. It absolutely had a less is more attitude rather than ubisoft bloat… There wasn’t that much to do, and it was ery linear which was a strength that made the characters and story feel well presented at all times for me. Haven’t played it in ten years tho so might be a bit of nostalgia mixed in…
What type of ubisoft mechanics have they jammed into it, out of curiousity?

Mafia 1 DE and 2 both were largely linear and didn’t waste your time with fluff. I really enjoyed those two. Mafia 3 on the other hand had good story drip fed to you after hours of grind.
Ubisoft like mechanics:
