Mafia III vs. Gears of War 4: Which Should You Buy?

Multiplayer

If you’re looking for a multiplayer experience, you unfortunately have only one choice between these two major releases. Gears of War 4 offers both competitive play, so you can test your skills against other players around the world on PC and Xbox One, as well as Horde 3.0, which is a co-op mode that pits you against waves of increasingly difficult enemies. If you don’t think that’s enough human interaction, you can also play through the campaign with a friend.

Mafia III is more focused on Lincoln Clay’s story and the development of New Bordeaux. That doesn’t leave much room for friends, or even enemies, to join in on the action.
