Is Shadow close enough to use Guillotine? Can't tell. I had trouble judging distances in this game in generally, but it's especially problematic when V (and the camera) is standing around half a city block away from the actual fighting. This does have the downside of putting V very far away from the action. He hangs back, avoiding damage, while his minions do all the actual fighting. Strategically, V plays very differently because he's basically a squishy mage or summoner. The only real mechanical difference is that V can only kill enemies by using his special action assigned to the circle button. It feels completely unnecessary though, because V's controls are basically the same as Nero's (which are basically the same as Dante's): triangle for melee attacks, square for ranged attacks, L1 for a limited-use super attack, circle for long-distance grapple/teleport attack. The fact that the game has to re-tutorialize a new character only four missions in (and then again a few missions later) means that the training wheels stay on for a long time. Tutorializing multiple characters means the training wheels stay on for a long time. Was I right? Is the story that predictable? The non-linear mission and story progression seems designed for no other purpose than to hold back information for a "surprise twist" that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.īy the fourth mission or so, I was betting that V turns out to be Vergil, back from the dead. In the case of V, we're given control without any real clue who he is, where he comes from, why he has monsters from the first game as magical animal sidekicks, what his relationship with Nero is. Who are these new characters? What is their relationship? The game doesn't allow us to get to know them at all before throwing us into the action. Now read on if you want to read about all the weird shit.

It's peak Devil May Cry and a satisfactory follow-up to Devil May Cry 4. Long story short, the game plays very well. As such, this review is going to come off as unduly negative because I have a laundry list of complaints and "what the fuck?"s to go through. "odd" if we're being generous or "bafflingly stupid" if we want to be overly critical. The core gameplay if fantastic, but almost all of the supporting features and production surrounding the gameplay is. It's a very weird game, that may be a bit overly-complicated, and which might be starting to suffer from a degree of " Kingdom Hearts syndrome".
