7 Mafia Games as Good as GTA 6

Mafia: Definitive Edition: This remake of the classic Mafia game brings players into a 1930s crime world filled with compelling storytelling, authentic cars, and detailed environments. Unlike GTA 6’s sprawling chaos, Mafia: Definitive Edition focuses on a linear yet powerful narrative. With improved graphics, voice acting, and refined controls, it allows players to experience the rise of Tommy Angelo in a beautifully recreated Lost Heaven cityscape that feels alive with history and crime.

Mafia II: Mafia II takes you to the 1940s–50s America with an immersive storyline centered around Vito Scaletta, a war veteran turned gangster. The game beautifully mixes family struggles, loyalty, and betrayal while giving players a cinematic crime-drama experience. Although not as free-roaming as GTA 6, its attention to detail, period-accurate setting, and realistic narrative make it a must-play for fans seeking a Mafia lifestyle simulation.

Mafia III: Set in 1968 New Bordeaux, Mafia III shifts from traditional mafia storytelling to a revenge-driven plot with protagonist Lincoln Clay. Players build their criminal empire by taking over districts, making choices that shape relationships with underbosses. While GTA 6 excels in modern open-world chaos, Mafia III gives a grittier, racially charged, and politically rich atmosphere, making it a more emotionally intense alternative for fans of crime-driven stories.

The Godfather: The Game: Based on the legendary film, The Godfather: The Game allows players to rise through the ranks of the Corleone family. Its unique ‘Black Hand’ combat system, extortion mechanics, and sandbox mafia gameplay set it apart. Like GTA 6, it gives freedom to explore, but with more emphasis on building influence and controlling businesses. The cinematic immersion of stepping into Don Corleone’s world makes it a true rival in the genre.

L.A. Noire: Although different from traditional mafia games, L.A. Noire captures the crime era with investigative gameplay, interrogation mechanics, and a stunning 1940s Los Angeles setting. Instead of leading a gang, players embody a detective solving crimes, some tied to organized mafia syndicates. While GTA 6 thrives on chaos, L.A. Noire excels in realism, atmosphere, and unique face-reading mechanics, making it equally appealing for players who love crime-driven storytelling.

Scarface: The World Is Yours: Inspired by the cult-classic film, this game reimagines Tony Montana’s survival and his path to rebuild a drug empire. Like GTA 6, Scarface: The World Is Yours gives freedom to roam, fight rival gangs, and expand influence across Miami. Its ruthless tone, strong narrative, and empire-building system deliver a high-octane crime saga. Fans of GTA 6’s gangster underworld will find Scarface’s brutal journey equally addictive.

Sleeping Dogs: Set in Hong Kong, Sleeping Dogs combines open-world exploration with martial arts combat, undercover police drama, and rich cultural authenticity. Unlike GTA 6, which focuses more on crime chaos, Sleeping Dogs gives a unique dual perspective where players balance life as a triad member and an undercover cop. The fast-paced action, brutal hand-to-hand combat, and diverse city activities make it one of the finest GTA alternatives with a mafia twist.
