One of the best things about the remaster is that it gives you a lot of options on how to play. In Part Two of my review for the original game I wrote, ' Despite the linearity of its levels and the awkwardness of its story and my intense dislike of New Dante (and each and every miniature cut-scene of his face) I’m having a hell of a good time playing this game.'Īnd this is basically how I feel still to this day, though I'm enjoying it more this time around. (If only Bloodborne were hitting that frame-rate when it launches later this month!)
The graphics and the art-style were both phenomenal, and they look even better in the new-gen remaster (though not mind-blowingly better.) Then again, especially in a game like this, 60 frames-per-second makes a huge difference. As someone who has only ever been passable when it comes to Devil May Cry, I actually enjoyed the combat and platforming quite a bit, both of which I found engaging and fluid, with a good balance of challenge and superfulness.
On the other hand, I liked the gameplay itself.
