Played through about half of this on normal. Then needing to redo entire missions when i died got too annoying.
Apparently easy mode is an option only if youre bad during the first 3 missions.
Was going to just drop the game, but something about it made me want to finish. So i started a new game on easy.

Easy mode kind of sucks though. You can't really control dante during combat, they replace most of the enemies with marionettes, and everytime you interact with something dante fires his gun and goes into a fighting stance for a second. Just really annoyed me lol

The game also kind of lacks the personality that was present in the opening cutscene.
Really just not a very interesing game.

I liked it anyway though. Filled my dark soul with light
