If you want to stealth through Mafia 3, you can do that in the majority of the sections I played. That extends to the ways you can play the game, too. “I think that’s part of the appeal when Lincoln comes to him and says, ‘look, I’m going to go after Sal and I want you to sign up for me.’” “ a man who’s given his entire life to the Mafia, and I think he feels he’s never really received his just rewards for that,” writer (and former PC Gamer senior editor) Bill Harms tells me. You can then assign your rackets to one of three underbosses who form your crime family: Haitian mob lieutenant Cassandra, Irish car specialist Burke and an older, exiled version of Vito Scaletta, pleasingly played by the same voice actor from Mafia 2.

Deal with this guy and you’ll take the racket for yourself, which include prostitution, drugs and other assorted illegal activities. Once you’ve made that number tick down to zero by performing a number of tasks dotted around the open world-interrogate this guy, stealing money, take out this gang, investigate this place, free these people, that sort of thing-you’ll draw out a mob boss, a little like the Nemesis system in Shadow of Mordor. For each racket, you’re given a certain amount of dollars you need to take out of a business in order to damage it. We’ve talked before about how rackets work in Mafia 3.
