In a nutshell, the primary distinction between the Mafia trilogy and The Old Country lies in their settings. San Celeste, a fictional city nestled in Sicily, Italy, serves as the central point for the Italian mafia families depicted in previous games, whose roots originate here. The game pays meticulous attention to detail when it comes to San Celeste, with weathered, sun-kissed architecture that reflects the authentic style of the region. The developers conducted extensive research trips to Sicily, taking photographs for a comprehensive representation of the region’s diverse beauty. To my mind, The Old Country evokes a sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of the historical landmarks found in the Assassin’s Creed Ezio trilogy.
