The name is Lincoln Clay

A video game review on Mafia 3, by MathiRaj



The first thing that got me hooked up with this game series was its name, Mafia, I don't know why but it just sounds way too badass. Mafia 3 is an action-adventure open world video game developed by Hangar 13 and published by 2K games. It was initially released in October 2016 for PlayStation 4, Xbox one, and Microsoft Windows platform then on 2017 for MacOS. The first plausible thing about this game was the capture of reality of the plotline and gameplay. Then as of the graphics, it was not the greatest ever but was pretty decent. As of music, the game has done a decent job on selecting the set of songs and soundtracks which were just perfect with the time when the game takes place. As of the plot, we get to play as Lincoln Clay, a colored US army veteran returning home to new Bordeaux from the Vietnam war. Being the 60s, just like every other colored person, Lincoln did not have many choices, so he and his brother takes up a job offered by the most influential man in the town, Salvador Marcano, or as he is referred, Sal. It was a heist carried out by Lincoln and a few. The heist will be a success, however, Sal and his son betray Lincoln by killing him and his family. However, Lincoln survives after a bullet ricocheting off his skull. He sets out with his friend John Donnavan to get answers for the death of his family. There was a LOT of things that flabbergasted me about this game. For example, you get to have underbosses who act as your lieutenants, and their loyalty is influenced by the number of rackets you assign to them after taking over illegal rackets

Nice and well described review covering every aspect of the game. Again it is like a movie review. The story is overwhelming and described well. The climax uniquely where the player will be the hero, needless to say will be enthralling
