DmC: Devil May Cry

★★★★★ — DmC: Devil May Cry is the best Devil May Cry I’ll say it: DmC: Devil May Cry outperforms every other game in the series — including Devil May Cry 5. The combat is ridiculously satisfying, the movement is smooth, the weapon switching feels natural, and the entire game has this stylish, aggressive flow that makes every encounter feel like a spectacle. The Angel/Demon weapon system adds a great layer of variety without making the controls unnecessarily complicated. And honestly? The atmosphere and presentation are fantastic. The distorted Limbo world gives the game an identity that the other entries simply don’t have. The soundtrack goes unbelievably hard, too. Yes, it’s a reboot. Yes, it changed Dante. And yes, people still seem to hold that against it. But judging the game on its own merits, DmC is an incredible action game. I’d take its combat, level design, visual style, and overall vibe over the more traditional approach of the other Devil May Cry games any day. DMC 1? Great. DMC 3? Legendary. DMC 4? Solid. DMC 5? Excellent. DmC? Better. Downvote me all you want. The reboot clears. 10/10 — Vergil was right.

I will always defend this game. It's a TERRIBLE DMC game, but not a bad Hack n' Slash. The gameplay is TIGHT and it alone makes it worth playing.

Behind the awful character design and personality containted in this game, is another amazing entry in the devil may cry franchise. If you can look past what Ninja Theory has done to Dante and Vergil you'd actually find a really solid hack n slash game. Very worth it to pick up on sale for those that enjoy DmC games. 8/10
