Alright, let’s dive in. So, the PlayStation Store is at it again with one of those sales that makes you think you’re getting away with something. Seriously, they’re practically giving away some top-tier PS4 and PS5 games, including this open-world classic that’s hit rock-bottom pricing. If you snooze, you lose — just a heads up.
### Wait, Mafia: Definitive Edition is Super Cheap?
I mean, like, 85% off kind of cheap. You can snag this gem for just $5.99 instead of the usual $39.99. But here’s the kicker: the deal’s gone after May 13 at 2:59 a.m. ET. So, if you’re anything like me and tend to procrastinate — well, maybe set a reminder or something.
The game pulls you into 1930s Lost Heaven. Classic “hardworking guy meets Mafia” storyline. Tommy Angelo, just a cabbie trying to make ends meet, suddenly finds himself all tangled up with the Italian Mafia. It’s a series of unfortunate — or maybe fortunate? — events. He starts running jobs for Don Salieri against the cutthroat Morello family. I mean, talk about a career change.
Oh, and just throwing it out there, if you’re thinking “I need more bang for my buck,” the entire Mafia Trilogy is on sale too. A mere $11.99. For two more games. I did the math. Crazy, right?
So this remake from 2020? Not terrible. It’s got a 78 on Metacritic, in case numbers sway your decisions. It’s like the 2002 game but, you know, spruced up.
Now might be the time to dive into this whole Mafia saga before the next chapter, Mafia: The Old Country, hits PS5 on August 7. Price hike rumors were swirling around, but they settled on $49.99 for the base game. Not too shabby.
And honestly, I kinda want to see how “rewarding” a life of crime can be — in a virtual sense, of course.
