It’s because it’s grounded that Mafia II’s plot lands harder than its contemporaries and, even a decade later, there’s value in that. The determination to make something of himself is a relatable baseline for Vito as a human being, though his methods are callous. There aren’t any heroes in this story and that, in itself, is a refreshing change. A no good crook, and this ‘pitfall of the selfish’ is the catalyst constantly driving Mafia II forward as Vito and Joe ceaselessly pursue more until the city has no more left to give. What started out as a means to clear his family’s debt grew with Vito’s misplaced ambition, and his mother died with her only son behind bars.

What follows isn’t a standard tale of ascension free of consequence, Vito’s rise is offset by the alienation of those closest to him. For a crook turned discharged war hero like Vito Scaletta, anchored by his dead father’s debts, a life like this can look alluring. It’s a point-blank, stark admonition that the road to hell might be paved with good intentions, but it’s paid for in blood. Mafia II doesn’t romanticise the mobster lifestyle, nor the passage one takes to rise through the ranks and get made. Though it didn’t receive the notoriety of Rockstar’s sandbox of depravity, Mafia has managed to maintain an understated dignity, prioritising class over ‘Hot Coffee’.

A couple of iterations later we, of course, had Grand Theft Auto III which made its bones as the veritable godfather of the modern, ‘orgy of violence’ simulator. A lowly thief, out to steal back a book of stamps soon led to Grand Theft Auto, a hail of gunfire at my fingertips.

Growing up, my first exposure to a two-bit crook came by way of Tom Sizemore’s Milo Peck in the tremendously underrated comedy-drama Hearts and Souls.
