Very impressive improvement coming off of both the good but sort of basic DMC1 and extremely disappointing DMC2. Easily the best of the original ps2 games, and still very fun to play even 15 years after the fact. The only real flaw I'd say is how much the second half of the game is just reused environments from the first half jumbled and rearranged together or with minor changes but that is a minor nitpick for what is otherwise a contender for the best hack and slash game around, possibly just on soundtrack alone.

Anytime I played this game, everything felt clunky. But after putting the game on turbo & playing with style switcher via switch ver, everything clicked. Just beat the first virgil boss fight. This really is the best combat system ever. Ill let yall know how the rest of the game is now that I have DT.
people be like "why call stuff soulslikes or souls clones thats uncreative" and then when a genre like this gets a term they're just as mad about it. i hate semantics i hate semantics i hate semantics
If you want an action game where the enemies are engaging to fight, then yeah this is boring. All the enemies have like one attack, none of the encounter designs are good and most of the bosses suck.
An underrated aspect of this game is that you can actually do the stuff he does in cinematics
I remember 11 year old me wishing I could do that thing where he gets on top of an enemy and glides over him and then having my mind blown when I realize you actually can do that
