#Devil may cry hd collection review Pc

Perhaps the more pressing question is, for those who didn’t pick up the 2012 release but have played the original games before, is it worthwhile? The answer will pretty much entirely depend on how much you want to go back and play the original Devil May Cry titles.įor this is very much Devil May Cry 1, 2, and 3, with pretty much all the good and bad that came with the original titles. On the flipside, if you haven’t played these games in any form before, this represents an excellent opportunity to experience some of the genre’s defining titles, and I would certainly recommend trying them however you can, be it through this collection or some other means. If you bought the 2012 version of the Collection, there isn’t much reason to buy it now unless you really want it on current generation platforms. Sad to say that this appears to essentially be a port of the 2012 Devil May Cry HD Collection - there are only very minor graphical improvements from the PS3/360 games. If you’re thinking that a HD collection of the first three Devil May Cry games sounds familiar, don’t worry, you’re not going crazy. The first and third game are widely regarded as classics within the hack and slash genre, while the second is generally viewed as terrible. The gameplay is heavily focused around chaining together combos while using as many different and “stylish” moves as possible to boost your score, which in turn improves your ranking as well as how much in-game currency you are rewarded with at the end of each mission. The games mostly focus around the adventures of Dante, a half human/half demon who works as a mercenary hunting demons and whatever other supernatural beings may be posing a threat to the world.

The first DMC game is now over 15 years old, and being available for the first time on current gen platforms presents as good an opportunity as any to see how well it and its first two sequels hold up compared to more recent games with the benefit of modern innovations.įor the uninitiated, Devil May Cry is a hack and slash series that started on the PS2 and moved to the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC when the seventh generation came around. The original Devil May Cry titles stand as one of the most important influences on 3D action games, impacting future games such as God of War, Ninja Gaiden II, and Bayonetta.
