Mafia: The Old Country: 1900s Sicily, a sourced analysis

Enzo Favara and the Torrisi family

Released on 8 August 2025 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam, the game is set in early-1900s Sicily. A survivor of the sulfur mines, Enzo Favara joins Don Torrisi’s crime family. Expect a linear third-person story campaign with gunfights, stealth, knife duels and rides on horseback or in period cars. Hangar 13 designed it as a shorter, tighter experience sold for less than a typical big-budget game. The paid Man of Honor expansion adds two chapters and is included in the Definitive Edition.

What the press says

Opinions differ sharply. GamingBolt calls it a worthy addition to the series, with great storytelling, strong character development, solid voice acting and production values, and simple but effective combat and stealth; it regrets an abrupt late-story transition and limited replay value. PC Gamer is far harsher, describing a decent but clichéd mob story and bland, frustrating gameplay that make it, in its view, the weakest Mafia yet. On PS5, Push Square (6/10, not counted in the average as it covers another platform) praises the acting but finds the gameplay too repetitive.

Platforms and price

On 12 November 2026 the standard edition is listed at €49.99 on Steam, the PlayStation Store and the Xbox Store. The Definitive Edition (game, Man of Honor expansion, Padrino, Soldato and Gatto Nero packs, digital artbook and soundtracks) is €64.99 on Steam and Xbox, and on sale at €38.99 instead of €64.99 on the PlayStation Store until 21 November 2026, 12:59 am Paris time. The game is also included in PlayStation Plus Extra, a subscription condition not used as the public price. No retailer offer or physical edition was verified for this survey.

Who is it for?

Fans of crime stories and cinematic presentation who accept a linear structure and a limited open world. It is rated PEGI 18 (violence, bad language, in-game purchases).

Press average

The score block above shows the press average computed from original reviews of the PC version, checked on 12 November 2026: GamingBolt 8/10 and PC Gamer 45/100. Each score is converted to /20 and averaged with equal weight; the gap between the two reviews is large. This summary is not a hands-on review.
