Video Game Franchises Most Likely to Fade Away Next
Mafia
While there are actually games made with The Godfather name and story attached to it, the Mafia series has always felt more like playing the revered movie in video game form.
Mafia and Mafia II are cult classics, with fans begging frantically for a third title for a while. The third installment’s fetch quest system and repetitive nature bogged down what fans loved about the series though in Mafia III.
Missions felt drawn out in Mafia III, with gameplay and necessary quest feeling tacked on simply for the purpose of artificially lengthening the game. What results is a hallow world, one that doesn’t give you much of a reason to want to keep playing, aside from interacting with Vito.
Overall, it is clear that the series has lost its charm with Mafia III and would only continue to do so with more installments.
