Mafia 3 takes place in New Bordeaux, which for all intents and purposes is New Orleans in 1968. Having been raised an orphan by pastor by father James (played by Gordon Greene masterfully) Lincoln Clay finds family in the black mob. After a double cross in a botched armed robbery it becomes a revenge rampage starring Lincoln Clay.

Overall, this was definitely one of the hidden gems of 2016. Honestly I was excited to have a video game character named after me that wasn't saving Zelda. If you enjoy games like mad max (which I will be reviewing soon) or GTAV then Mafia 3 is definitely worth your time. I give it 4 Creedence Clearwater Revivals out of 5.
