Return to the classic stylish action of Devil May Cry with lots of flashy combos and familiar faces, plus a new playable character

This more realistic vision of the DMC universe looks great, though some of the enemy designs seem to blend together this time around

The soundtrack is the usual mix of ambient gothic and rock music, and the voice performances are well done

Moderately high
