After the announcement of Mafia: The Old Country. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it will not be open-world. Instead, it will be focusing on a linear narrative that made the first couple of games some of the best in the series.
I actually think this is the perfect game before GTA VI hits next year. I cannot remember a time when we had this many games in the same mould as GTA coming before GTA. It’s wild. Anyway, for those interested in wanting to play a game with some form of likeness before GTA VI. These are your options.
If anything, it tells me if your going to do an open-world. Not many can lay claim to the level of detail and absolute premium experience that a GTA game can provide. That’s why we love it. However, narrative games like below offer another level of gaming that are nice. After all, not everything needs to be open-world, as we know.
You can check out the following trailers provided. Let us know what you think and which of the two you’re most excited about before that all important GTA release next year.

I haven’t seen much game-play from MindsEye. It’s from Leslie Benzies who helped make past GTA games. So hopefully it should be good. However, Mafia is looking as good as it ever has.
