Abstract: People of colour in South Africa have faced a long history of ostracism on multiple levels. Though I missed the worst of it, apartheid laws mandated racist exclusion: careers, political roles, even door entrances and homes, all were determined by race. Th...

Amazing Characterisation, Surprisingly deep, nuanced story
Glitchy. Like flying cars and bottomless boats glitchy, Repetitive gameplay in a mostly barren world
Tackling tough issues like racism in games always carries a bit of a risk, but Mafia 3's dev team has managed to pull it off. The story is well executed, the city full of incidental detail and the the political commentary consistent through every rung of...

Beautiful graphics, Well-written story, Great music soundtrack
Repetitive gameplay, No fast travel
Come for the music and the gameplay, stay for the story. In a postracial America that isn't so postracial, where minorities are fighting to prove their lives matter against fear-mongering demagogues, Mafia 3 delivers an uncomfortable, forward-facing story...
Though Mafia III has a strong story, great setting and some satisfying mechanics, the mind-numbing repetition and technical issues make it a letdown compared to its predecessors...
There's so much potential, but next to none of it comes to fruition. Repetitive missions, a shallow world, and oblivious AI are only somewhat saved by a remarkable storyline...
