Thank You, PS Plus, For Making My Backlog Even Greater
The usual Mafia II, which 2K Czech launched for PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2010, is all proper, with an interesting Goodfellas type of story, although not as memorable as the unique Mafia from 2002.

A common Reddit submit additionally notes that Definitive Version’s PS4 model (which is what you’ll be capable of obtain on PS Plus) is “so vulnerable to stuttering” and audio issues.
