A great way to get into Devil May Cry or even just the action genre. The style changing system was an incredible decision and invention (this gets even better with the freestyle mode on switch, allowing you to use every style even quicksilver and doppelganger at anytime.) allowing you to switch between a more melee, movement, ranged (albeit I find gunslinger underwhelming to use especially without gun stinger for the shotgun.) or a parry focused playstyle at anytime with the mode I just mentioned. If you want to play devil may cry 3 and have access to a switch I definitely recommend this version as you can also go back to the original PS2 mode where you only have 1 style at a time if that's what you prefer.
To add onto this bombastic party are the equally badass characters like the stylish demon hunter Dante, just showing off how much of a fun loving badass this guy is while he mocks his demon foes. Watching him duel it out and back and fourth dialogues between his more calm and collected brother Vergil is always a treat. Seriously, every cutscene with these two are entertaining as all hell to watch. The music just adds on to how damn cool this game is, devils never cry, while it doesn't play too much in the game is a song that will get you pumped up to beat up some demon arse, the devil and angel voices singing alongside each other in the latter part of the song as well.
Though my complaints mostly stem from me enjoying DMC5's less exploration focused levels. I did not enjoy exploring the demon tower, my enjoyment of the exploration just kept getting worse since I found it boring finding these items back and fourth when I was here to bury some demons 6 feet underground yknow? Speaking of demons, I take issue with some of these enemies. While a lot of them are fun to fight (I enjoy fighting the spiders with Royal Guard a lot.) I can't stand the soul eaters and the fallen angels. Soul eaters are miserable to fight with you having to face your back to make them appear and THEN being able to attack them, thankfully spiral + royal guard makes quick work of them but these blue shit heads are more than capable of being a pace breaker to this otherwise active combat system. The fallen angels being able to go into the walls and basically rendering them unhittable is such a baffling decision. With their sword attacks having huge hitboxes as well. Not to mention you having to take out their face armour to deal any damage to them. Thankfully some of the bosses are incredible really. The three of the 3 Vergil fights, Agni and Rudra and Beowulf being the stand outs for me.
Overall, while Devil May Cry 3 does have some issues that bother me to no end it's still a fantastic game that I'd recommend anyone that wants to get into Devil May Cry to play.
