Tommy guns feature in previous Mafia games, but they hadn’t been invented at the time of Mafia: The Old Country’s story. It’s a prequel to the first three games, “set in the brutal underworld of 1900s Sicily”. Expect “authentic realism and rich storytelling”. Personally, I don’t think you’re allowed to be both authentic and realistic. It goes against nature. I’ll allow it, though, because I enjoyedMafia 3for all its flaws. That game had the most incredible review bugs, but it had a lot of style. Being set in 1960s New Orleans definitely helped.
