And so it's sort of impossible to think about Mafia III without thinking about GTAV. The most recent installment, GTAV, remains a touchstone now three years after its original release, not to mention continuing to generate sizable revenue for its publisher. It's the series that revolutionized the genre by dropping the camera down to the street in GTAIII, it's the name that still draws more attention than nearly any other game out there with every iteration. We can call the genre "open-world crime" if we like, but we all know the name that looms so large over this suite of games so as to define the entire genre single-handedly: Grand Theft Auto. It's not hard to recognize the influences here, either, from the other games in the Mafia series to those all-important other games that came before it. Mafia III is special: it's about something, which is a rarity in a world of samey AAA blockbusters. Hangar 13's debut title has been praised for its acting and writing, but ultimately critics have found the missions too repetitive and the gameplay not interesting enough, pushing this exceptional game a little closer to the bargain bin.
