I'm currently playing mafia 2 and I like it but I wonder if I should start playing mafia 3 after since I heard people say the game is dissapointing

It's an okay game, but far worse than the first two. They forced an open world onto it, and made it pretty repetitive. The DLC is more linear and feels a lot more like a typical Mafia story telling.

Oh man I remember the open-world obsession era. It's still sort of with us, but a few companies are daring to stick with linear narratives that don't allow as many branching paths, like Control or Alan Wake 2. Even non-linear narratives are being pulled off in non-open-world games like Baldur's Gate 3.
