MAFIA II (PS3, XBOX 360, PC)
Mafia II’s Empire Bay is not as huge as Grand Theft Auto V’s Los Santos but you can most definitely find great stories and characters in both games. In Mafia II, you play as Vito Scaletta who is attempting to climb his way through the rank of the Mafia while also trying to pay some debt that his father owed to some pretty dangerous folks.
Mafia II really expanded on the story of the game with three story DLC packs that came out after the game launched, including alternate storylines that showed a different perspective on the main story during a time when the main character was imprisoned, shedding light on events that occurred that wasn’t originally presented in the main game.
The exiting mobster drama that occurs in Mafia II is worth your time, especially if you’re interested in a story that’s full of betrayal and family issues.
