Mafia: The Old Country

Man of Honor is an honest expansion that lacks any real creative spark, relying almost entirely on the introduction of a young Ennio Salieri for its charm. Narratively speaking, the future Don's characterization works well and delivers great moments for long-time fans of the franchise, even if it ultimately remains a self-contained detour that has no real impact on Enzo’s journey. The gameplay holds no surprises and actually feels downgraded compared to the main game: ditching horses and melee duels turns shootouts into more conventional affairs, while rigid exploration boundaries and barren countrysides lay bare the flaws of the level design—further hindered by a bizarre 'winter' Sicily that sports the exact same spring/summer climate as the base game.

Mafia: The Old Country - Man of Honor might be more of the same, and that’s perfectly okay with me. Hangar 13’s nod to the original game is appreciated, as is the narrative flair The Old Country has already. Seeing Free Ride revamped is also a pleasure, alongside a meaty amount of content via Salieri’s introduction to the map.

Man of Honor doesn't reinvent The Old Country, but its compact story, stronger Free Ride content and connections to the wider series make it a worthwhile return.
