Whiskey.Mafia. Leo's Family Reviews

For those who are desperate for more mob stories, I'd recommend going back to films in the 1930's and 40's, if you haven't already. My pick would be The Public Enemy (1931) with James Cagney. If you're super desperate and don't mind a simple mob story, Whiskey.Mafia. Leo's Family is a pixel novella that regurgitates mob tropes and Goodfellas quotes. It can be completed in 30 minutes for a fast reader with the ability to left click and mash the 'W' key to 'test their might.' I think the story is decently written. It's very basic for anyone familiar with mob stories. To its credit it does invest in moving the story forward in ways that kind of support attachment to the protagonist through lengthy conversations with his father and uncle. But when I say lengthy, this is still a half hour game for a fast reader, so you're not getting attached to much of anything. There's some grammar issues here and there that would lead me to believe English isn't the native language of the developers or they were trying to avoid directly quoting referenced material, like Goodfellas, by putting a hit out on the grammar. The pixel art is cool and the developers should feel accomplished for making a tiny mob pixel game. Yet, if you've looked at the screenshots on the store page, you've seen most of it. Still, the pixel art is probably what I enjoyed most about the game. I did encounter one bug where clicking on things around the screen prevented the protagonist from entering the bar. I had to exit to main menu and continue to proceed. Simple enough, at least. For the general audience and at $6, not recommended. This one is recommended only on a dirt cheap sale for mafia nerds who are still newer to mob stories, pixel art enthusiasts, and achievement seekers looking for an easy game to perfect.

Short little point and click game. I loved the music and aesthetic of the game.
