The allure of a better, higher-paid high-life seduces Tommy fast, who quickly accepts the Salieri crime family's invitation to join them as a driver, fixer, and eventually capo. Mafia follows Tommy Angelo, a Lost Heaven cab driver who, by chance, winds up helping the mob make a speedy getaway. Mafia sits up there with the best Hollywood crime thrillers.
Without going into spoilers (which is tough, given that the story is really the top selling point of this game), Mafia really is one of the better story-focused games I've played this entire gen, due to the effectiveness of its character acting, even if some of the tropes are a little familiar. Mafia: Definitive Edition Story (Spoiler-Free) Often, in Mafia, it's what characters don't say that really makes the moment, letting the visuals do the talking instead.
The graphics refresh extends well to the game's character models too, which are expressive in their delivery of the game's truly great script.
I had the occasional frame rate dip during some car chase scenes, but there is a day one patch on the way, promising to bring further optimizations. The game runs at dynamic 4K with 30 frames-per-second (FPS) on the Xbox One X, and holds that target pretty well over all. My only other regret is that there's not much of a reason to explore the game's detailed world, since the story pushes you in a very specific direction throughout. If you're sitting far from the TV you probably won't catch it, but once you notice, it's hard to ignore. It seems to kick in when the game is struggling, performance-wise, along with dynamic resolution scaling. The only issue I really had with the visuals on the Xbox One X was the odd shimmering technique they use for anti-aliasing in some scenes.
