“Mafia: The Old Country” joins the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium game catalog on October 20. It is a third-person action-adventure set in early 20th-century Sicily that explores the origins of organized crime. The protagonist, Enzo Favara, fights for survival and tries to prove his worth to the Family.

The PlayStation Blog provides an introduction to the catalog addition rather than an independent review. It confirms the genre, setting, time period, protagonist, and overall direction of the story, but does not assess the game’s quality.

A crime story centered on Enzo Favara

At the center of the game is Enzo Favara, who fights for survival in Sicily’s criminal underworld and seeks to prove his worth to the Family. The official description connects the story to the origins of organized crime, decades-long blood feuds, and protection rackets run by mobsters.

The official description states that Enzo is fighting for survival and seeking to prove his worth to the Family. The source does not reveal how his relationship with the Family will develop or which other characters will take part in the story.

It is also impossible to judge the story’s pacing, the depth of its characters, or the impact of choices on the narrative in advance. The general direction of the conflict has been confirmed, but not the specific narrative structure. If the quality of the writing is usually the deciding factor for you, the catalog introduction provides enough information to assess the theme, but not its execution.
