I really loved it. :D

I will continue to play next AC after this one, but I give it negative score. The game is awesome, however at very end of the game there are so many bugs. Some are fixed by retrying missions, some by avoiding enemies, but in the very last part of story. Desmond jumps from lamp to lamp in church. If you make wrong jump Desmond becomes invisible, and also even if you manage to jump trough all that without seeing him. game stacks at my last print screen. Where they are all looking at green room. I had to go to youtube to see how story ends and this is pure crap of experience.

Made old memories better. :)

Short but awesome. :)

The game has a lot of content(leveling, a lot of quests, daily, weekly quests, dungeons, raids, boats, strongholds, gathering, etc) which should be a plus(it should provide days and days of fun), but they all suck.
Quests:
- All quests are too repetitive. There are basically 4 types of quests:
- you kill some mobs in some area
- You lift some object and carry it for 10 steps and then drop it
- You act like a messenger between two NPCs.
- You gather some items in the area.

- Quests don't really ask for you to read them. You just follow the target on the map, and it will be perfectly clear what you need to do. So there is not much involvement of the player.

It is too easy to finish multiple quests at the same time. All mobs are stacked next to each other. One quest will ask for their drops, the other one will ask for their kills, etc.

Some of the quests are dumb, and it seems they are there just because somebody was lazy to make good content. On every map, you will have quests, where you have to act as a messenger between two NPCs that are standing next to each other like they cannot talk between them selfs.

Leveling:
Once you start the game you are instantly LVL 10 for some stupid reason. And you can reach max level in one day of play.

Combat: Combat is not total trash, you have like 20 different attacks, but even here you can see some attacks look exactly the same in different classes. You can see the lazy, repetitive design.

Raids/Dungeons:
Plain and simple raids are comedies compared to the ones you can see in other PC Games.

Gearing up:
Once you reach level 50, again, for some odd reason, you can basically jump from no gear to tier 5 gear in 20 minutes of clicking.
And after that you have to play game every day, 2 dungeons, 2 raids, 3 daily quests, 3 weekly quests to provide yourself a better gear, just so you can enter another boring dungeon/raid to do it all over again.

PVP:
I was so disappointed by the game that I didn't even want to try pvp-ing.

General Impression:
This game reminds me of facebook or mobile games, where you can do something only twice a day and then you have to log in every day to do some repetitive crap just to get some more gear, so you can do newer dungeons/raids which all look alike. IF I was 15 years younger this would be so addictive, but now I really feel like this is some crap.

After playing counter strike since 1.36 version 20 years ago, and almost 3.000 hours of CS:GO, after getting Supreme Master Guardian rank and holding it for few months, I can honestly say: I have not played one match in my entire CS:GO life with or against Global rank that did not have cheater in the match. Sometimes it is guy with Global rank, sometimes it is his friend that is boosting him. I have encountered numerous cheaters with 2000 hours of game play.

They have various tactics and cheats to avoid Valve anti-cheat Overwatch system and I will try to state a few:
- Hacks:
1. Spin bot
2. Aim
3. Wall hack
4. Seeing all enemy players on mini map all the time (the worst one by far)
5. Hacks in hardware(mouse) to counter recoil

- Tactics to avoid reaching Overwatch system in the first place.
1. To be in overwatch video you need to have bad rating. You get bad rating by being reported by multiple players for cheats that you played against. So what you do? CSGO recommendations give you positive rating. You pay for CSGO recommendations (Friendly/Teacher/Leader) on various websites. When ever you see guy with 300+, sometimes 1300+ recommendations on CS:GO you can be assured he payed for those, and he is a cheater. And he usually has the exact same number of all 3 commendations. What is even worse, Valve actually sends them in-game warning that they are being reported too much for cheating, so they know when to get more recommendations.
2. Their friend has just bought new CS:GO account for 12 euros and he played like 100 hours on it. So he is doing cheating for them, so they never get caught. Yes there is a system that claims to delete all of the games and score you played previously with them, but it will not return these noobs to silver 1 where they belong, instead it will let them play next game, and if they win it they keep their rating, if not, they lose it by one.

- Overwatch
Even when hackers reach overwatch, there a few tricks that they will use to make other less experienced players claim they don't use hacks. Skins! They would be using expensive skins, so when some kid watches them he is feeling bad for the them and their skins and he thinks he must have been lucky. He would surely not use hacks on profile that has 100e knife.

Even when Valve bans them from some reason they allow them to come back. If you play long enough I am sure you encountered this before. Finding profiles with red VAC BAN record 1 label under players avatar profiles.

Last thing: Before even seeing some guys kills in video in overwatch, you see right away he is cheating, by where he aims. If he runs and aims at the floor, and lifts up aim only when about to encounter enemy player, you know he is a cheater. That is the first thing every Master Guardian learns, you cannot run and point your gun into the floor.

I have stopped playing this game sometimes before Corona happened. I come back almost 2 years later to find out nothing has changed. Do I recommand this game? No.

Finished this one for the 2nd time. Gameplay and story are that good. Actually they are so good that I bought 10 more Assassins Creed titles, few of which I already finished years ago.

Now there are few bugs in this one: like Altair or NPCs fall trough the texture, or start spinning like crazy in the middle of fight, or gets kicked out of some platform, like they stepped on a bomb. Vertical SYNC has to be ON, or Altair will die when doing Leap of faith.
Also there is that thing with game going to window mode in the middle of the play. But it is easy to forgive for these as they do not disrupt the game so much.

THE BEST platformer I ever played in my entire life.

7.5/10
Pros: Great music, nice graphic details, charismatic characters, interesting side missions. Brutal kills can be awesome, also ending of more than few missions are so satisfying. Proper looking cars, proper music, it takes you back to the time after war in Vietnam. It has a nice story.
Cons:
* Boring main missions. They are so repetitive. You beat up informer, kill enforcers, destroy mini bosses workplace, make them work for you, give districts to one of 3 of your under-bosses and game over.
* Story has nothing to do with mafia. This is GTA after war in Vietnam. Story is good, but it is not mafia story.
* Bugs! So many bugs made by the same guys who are asking now for 50$ for reworked Mafia I game. (Unable to pass true security in boxing mission, max 60 fps if you want to play with useless v-sync, unable to load from Full Screen - I had to load game window mode to pass first few videos before menu window where I would switch back to full screen again... so on)

I don't see myself ever coming back to this game, because how boring main missions are.

This is second time I am finishing this game, it is really good but as almost any other it has its pros and cons.
Compared to Mafia I:
Pros: Better graphics, nice details (like car light on snow - amazing even for 2020), I dare to say nicer cars.
Cons:
1. Story is shorter and predictable.
2. Game has many bugs:
- Like intro videos to some missions have worse quality than Mafia I had.
- In 3-4 missions game will stuck if you have more than 60hz or if all video options are on High.

Still I had fun playing it for the 2nd time and I don't regret buying it. Game is also honoring Mafia I with the mission where you go to kill Angelo, with proper close, car and music from game one.

7.5/10
