“[h1] One of the best in this genre so keep that in mind. Play as different characters which is cool. Try to shove Sparda into Sanctus exhaust and spread mayhem with dose of decent combat style. Score high and get high.…”
“Absolutely unacceptable that I have to do a bunch of weird workarounds, including downloading a hex editor, just to get the game to not crash on startup. Even after that, the game will freeze up my computer if I have…”

“I really ended up enjoying this one. This was my first playthrough, so I only did the campaign that actually matters (Nero and Dante), but I'll come back later to try out Lady and Trish and later Vergil to check out…”
“It sometimes bugs out and crashes but regardless managed to find a temporary solution and still enjoy and finish the game a bunch of playable characters and enjoyable playthrough and other difficulties are so fun…”
“A very fun and challenging beat-em-up puzzle game. It doesnt take itself seriously but still knows when to shut up and let the awesome moments speak for themselves. The only thing holding this game back is the lock-on…”

“absolutely love this game, the bug where you cant launch the game can easily be fixed by changing the games resolution in the properties and then switching the game from fullscreen to windowed. the issue also occurs if…”
“peak storyline. insufferable with mouse in keyboard. genuinely might be the worst keyboard port, but that says nothing. the game is extremely peak, so long as you have a controller.”
“This is a great game and I remembered it on the ps3 and when they did a PS4 remaster. I played this game in 1080p at 120 fps and 60 fps. Either works well for this game 120 is spectacular in a pinch 60 fps will do. This…”

“Right, so onto DMC 4... Nothing of note happened between DMC 3 and DMC 4. Don't worry about it. I'll be honest, while this is the *best* looking DMC up until this point, pretty much all the assets from DMC 3 were…”
“Original game was made quickly, and it shows - what with backtracking and boss repetition. But it was also made with love, with excellent and in-depth combat mechanics, beautifully designed world and a myriad of small…”

“The game is unplayable. It crashes on launch for pretty much everybody. There is a fix but it has a lot of steps and without a proper youtube guide it feels downright hopeless. Do not buy this game. That being said I…”

“You have to go through quite the song and dance to get it working in the first place and that's primarily why I wouldn't recommend buying it. Personally, I think it's got good gameplay (minus some of the platforming…”

“Enjoyed the game and it was fun playing as Nero and dante, but it did get boring playing as dante since its basically the same run as nero but going back. Vergil's part of the game dosent have story but his fighting…”
“very good from start to half way but other half so ♥♥♥♥ u legit replay the same areas as nero but as dante, also last boss is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.”
“I'm very conflicted about the game. For the first few missions, the game is so easy on normal, and outright tells you to play legendary dark knight if you've played the last 3 that it feels like that should be the…”

“It's dmc, so of course it's good. But the Port is a bit horrible. And, dmc4 is "weaker" than 3 and 5 unfortunately, due to the lack of time that they had. The backtracking is annoying, but thats dmc4 for you”

“It's a strange feeling. I want to criticize it, but I can't. My love for this series won't allow me to. All of CAPCOM's add-ons are not worth a full-fledged game (3 additional characters, a couple of costumes, four new cutscenes, and achievements; they've also introduced…”
