I’m a huge OG Mafia fan as well (I even ran the “official” Subreddit). I thought the sequels and the remake were pretty good with the exception of Mafia 3. It was a solid game by itself but not really as part of this series IMO.
Mafia 3 was my favorite. It’s definitely a departure from the first two, but it was a good melange of mafia and blaxploitation genre tropes. It also continued the tradition with a killer soundtrack. I never got tired of the radio.
With 3, I felt like my time was being wasted every time I played. The dumb collectible things are spread just far enough apart that it makes them a pain in the ass to collect them on foot, but not so far that a car is convenient (because the animation to get in and out of vehicles takes too damn long imo) either. The weird “lock picking” mini game where you just wait for the two bars to meet then press a button was stupid imo. I only ever got so far to do one of the ally’s side missions, and it was just “drive a boat all the way through the city and bayou to pick up some drugs or whatever, then drive the boat all the way back.”
Didn’t the remake rip out all the amazing period songs from the original OST? I remember vibing to Django Reinhardt as you’re driving was a huge part of it for me.
As a huge fan of the original, but disappointed with the sequels, I’m cautiously optimistic!

The songs were even removed from the original game due to a licensing issue. Luckily there are mods to restore them.
The remake still has a solid soundtrack, though it’s mostly orchestral.
