This review contains spoilers
I played this on the Nero/Dante storyline.
The story is bland. A basic "I gotta save my love interest and uncover a really big conspiracy" song and dance is really whatever. The second half of the story is just backtracking as Dante then you play as Nero for the final bit which culminates where I stopped with a dogshit ass board game boss rush and one of the most silly bosses ever. DMC has some annoying bosses in Arkham from 3 and this is somehow WORSE. Without going into too much detail all I can say is it lacks the fun of other bosses.
The combat is good though, Nero's devil bringer really adds a new level of depth and Dante being able to switch styles on the fly is addictingly fun to just spam, but also allows for a lot of versatility in your play compared to 3's choice at the start of a level.
Overall I think there is a good game here but it's held back by a lot of things that add up to an overall just "okay" experience.
