I picked up "Mafia: Definitive Edition" cheap the other day (I've linked it on Steam as it's still on sale for the next few days).

I was a fan of Mafia (the original from 2002) and felt it was cheap enough to give it a shot and I'm glad I did: besides the infamous/arduous racing level I found it to be very enjoyable overall.

I was sad to see that there wasn't any "Freeride Extreme" in the latest version (this was bonus, fun, ludicrous content, available after completing the game) as it would have been a nice addition, the "Freeride" mode is likewise a little lackluster but the actual campaign is great.

What was the last game you finished? Was it any good?

Lol, Micro-Genre... I remember commandos and desperados being absolutely huge.

I more meant the narrow intersection of 2 larger genres that rarely cross over, particularly these days.

Though having said that, I do feel like the only person still talking about them anymore. It's so rare to see them brought up in casual conversations outside their dedicated Steam forums.
