Liked the first two quite a lot, but the third one didn't have a good reputation, so I have skipped it. With a fourth one reportedly in development it might be a good time to check the third one out.
Does it run well? It had a bad rep for having technical issues, but it got a bunch of patches and a remaster later. Story, characters, gameplay? Anything woke?
Nothing that I know of, I just played Mafia 1 right before the remake was announced. So, bad timing.
