This is my favorite game of all time. period.
I just adore its story and everything that happens to the protagonist, Vito.
It just makes the player dive into the environment with full action by protecting his family, where he earns cash with his childhood friend [Joe].

However, those activities weren't legal, and I was soon caught by the detectives and sentenced to 10 years in prison. During the years in bars, you'd understand Vito's feelings and emotions about how he's been struggling.

Five years of imprisonment have passed, and his mother died due to sickness, which is the most dramatic moment of the game since Vito wanted to do good for his family.
He soon got released from prison due to the positivity he's been receiving from the guards and staff, and he dove into the 50s Americana.

Besides that, I will not spoil anymore since you already know how well-written the story is within the game.
The game is not always dramatic or sad, but sometimes it has some comedic or bright elements within the story that may give you a sense of hope for a good ending. Maybe you'll find out for yourself.

But we see that the developers were extremely focused on the story and how it was connected to its previous title, ''Mafia I'', which I also deeply recommend trying out since that game is set in the 30s, while Mafia II is set between the 40s and the 50s.
Since 2013, the game has made me admire the 40/50s!
It's just defining how the times were back then, such as the style, music, and vehicles.
