Once you have successfully done this, a third mission within the chapter will open where you have to take out the person in charge of that district. Within each district, you have to take over both of the rackets that are found in that location. The repetitive nature of these missions though is where the game really struggles. New Bordeaux itself is split up into nine different districts across nine chapters, each of which have a story mission that is split up for you to complete. The original city of New Bordeaux this time around is larger than both of the first two games combined, but that kind of is a hindrance in some ways as you’re consistently having to drive across the map for new missions. Where Mafia III suffers most though is the very unoriginal game structure as you play through Lincoln’s story in a once again large sandbox open world experience. This leads Lincoln to having to gather a unique crew of different partners to help take them down, which is the central focus for most of the game. This ends up going very poorly and leaves Lincoln wanting revenge against mob boss Sal Marcano and his mafia family. Soon after he tries to work out a debt to the Italian mafia that his surrogate father has accrued. Instead, Lincoln Clay is a soldier that has just returned back to the fictional New Bordeaux that is based on New Orleans from Vietnam and agrees to help some family and friends with the Haitian mob that have come knocking. While the prior two games had the traditional Italian mafia akin to Scarface and The Sopranos, Mafia III was taking a different route by having an African American protagonist that is not part of the traditional mob seen in the first few games. When Mafia III was originally released, there was certainly some controversy about the change in setting. While that version is not out for a few more months, they recently released the remastered Mafia II along with including the already existing Mafia III that is now known in the collection as Mafia III: Definitive Edition. It has now been four years since the third entry, but 2K Games is set to remake the first game as part of a new release known as Mafia Trilogy. The Mafia series has seen multiple hiatuses between games, with eight years between the first two and six between the second and third.
