Gotta love how the PlayStation Store seems to always be throwing some sort of sale at us, right? Like, just the other day, I was scrolling through – doing my usual “am I really gonna buy another game I probably won’t finish?” dance – and bam! One special stood out. It’s this bizarrely epic little title with a huge discount. Seriously, I wasn’t even looking for a deal, but I mean, how can you not check out Mafia: Definitive Edition when it’s, what, 85% off? For real.
Okay, so here’s the lowdown: Mafia: Definitive Edition is hanging out on the PS Store for a measly $5.99 – down from $39.99. Pretty wild. Offers like this seem to vanish right before your eyes, like those cookies you swear you were saving. It wraps up on May 13 at 2:59 a.m. ET, which is an oddly precise time, but hey, marketing, right?
Diving into the game’s backstory, they’ve got this whole narrative built around a guy named Tommy Angelo. Just your average cabbie in 1930s Lost Heaven, until – plot twist – he brushes shoulders with the Italian Mafia. One chance encounter spirals him into a life of crime. It’s like those old noir films where you blink and suddenly you’re knee-deep in mob drama. Tommy’s journey is a bit like navigating a maze blindfolded, where friends and foes flip roles faster than you can say “gangster.”
And oh man, if you’re already sold on this one, there’s more. The entire Mafia Trilogy is on sale for $11.99. Just a tad pricier but considering you’re bagging two more games, it’s basically a no-brainer. Never thought bargain hunting could be so exciting.
Now, about reviews and nitty-gritty details – when it dropped in 2020, Mafia: Definitive Edition got decent nods. Metacritic pegged it with a 78, which I guess means people thought it was pretty alright. Seems like a steal for something originally cooked up by Illusion Softworks in ’02. Nostalgic vibes, anyone?
Thinking about checking it out? Probably a good call since Mafia: The Old Country is rolling out on PS5 this August 7. Mark your calendars, folks. At $49.99, it’s apparently bucking the trend of hiking prices, thank goodness. Why do games sometimes cost more than a night out? No clue. But here’s hoping for more sweet deals like this one, right?
