I took a look and I see that Mafia The Old Country isn't available to pre-order on US Amazon. I'm sure it will appear there since I also took a look at both CAN Amazon and UK Amazon and it's available to pre-order on those sites.
Looks like the US price for this game is $49.99 USD.
The UK price is £37.49 (though on Amazon right now to pre-order it's £33.29, which sounds like a good deal. That makes it roughly $45 USD)
In Canada, on Amazon, to pre-order it's $69.99 CAD (ugh, I can only hope that lowers a bit more eventually).
So when compared to other games this seems pretty fair. Yes, it'll be a shorter game than something like a Last of Us Part II but it aims to be just as good when it comes to story. Hangar 13 want you to experience an entertaining and well made story. That's what I'm seeing from the trailers. I trust this team since they won me over with the other games.
And hey, who knows. Maybe if people vote with their wallet with games like this (and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33) more companies will charge better prices for games.
