Mafia: The Old Country is a prequel that introduces us to the sun-drenched landscapes of 1900s Sicily, as opposed to the familiar urban jungles of America we’ve been used to. The series’ dedication to historical authenticity and its unflinching narrative grit is something that’s continued since the now 23-year old first game. This is a decidedly slower paced story that doesn’t always pay off, and often goes in predictable directions, it still manages to have well-earned payoffs. After riding horseback through dusty vineyards and tense shootouts in dimly lit catacombs, Mafia: The Old Country is a compelling, if occasionally flawed, return to form.
