Reviewing (mostly) every game (or DLC) in my library, part 492: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆☆ (7/10) I feel like I say this a lot, but I was very pleasantly surprised by [i] Life of a Mobster![/i] Written by Mike Walter, this is one of the earliest Hosted Games, all the way back in the ye olden days of 2014. As you might cleverly guess, you play as a mobster. The store description doesn't do it justice, I think. For one, the game follows your whole life, starting as a kid to an adult. Second, it’s quite stat/mechanic/choices heavy. While I don’t know a whole lot (read: anything) about coding, it seems like the author must have a good grasp on coding. Third, the story is surprisingly gripping. My only complaints are the length and character development. All in all, though, a solid work, especially in 2014. (And thank you to the staff for giving me a free copy!) [b][h2]Pros:[/h2][/b] ✅ Story. Who doesn’t want to be a mobster? Walter puts his own twist on the genre, though: the game follows your whole life and the rise and fall of being a mobster.

so heres the problem the person who wrote this clearly went to the bother of learning what a mob story includes , capos ,families protection rackets etc ....... why would you include female mobsters ? i mean a lady beating up two mobsters with a pipe ? its just pandering to everything the genre is not i wouldnt recommend this tbh , its not thats its text based its that its just woke1 found this helpful
After shooting the enemies, it's a good idea to keep this evidence with you. Stupid game. Or drop out of college economics and go fight in bars. Stupid.
Sopranos fans need not apply. Female mobsters, non-Italian mobsters, the developer basically took the idea of the Italian mafia and just felt they were somehow qualified to bend the rules for the sake of their game. And the game isn't very good, it basically expects you to play it repeatedly to get achievements from what I can see. There is no logic here, it's all random, it's a cheap text-based game but it's pretty bad in my experience.
Played it all in one sitting. Enjoyed it.
A very good story well written with engaging choices to be made. I can't complain.
