The Good: Visually Stunning, great cinematic cut scenes, a great new chracter, simple and smooth controls.
The Bad: repetative gameplay (fight sections, boss fights and
enviroments), the platforming and puzzles feel last-gen and bring the
game down.
This was my first time playing a DMC game and I wasn't partucularly
impressed, while visually stunning the game has repetative gameplay
that detracts from the overall greatness of the game. While the
cutscenes and camera angles can seem cool it can sometimes feel cheesey.
The gameplay can become very repetative. You run for a bit, jump around
then you fight some demons then rinse and repeat and then theres the
odd boss thrown in. Enviroments look the same and seem lifeless. Combat
can be fun combing melee, gunplay and a demonic arm but essentially it
is just button mashing which should have stayed last-gen.
Regardless of what platform you play this on the game is a looker. But
also on any platform the game is equally repetative. This game is a
love or hate affair of which I am the latter so not everyone will agree
with this review.
