I'll be entirely honest, this game didn't do it for me at first, I'd say for the first 4 missions I was really starting to wonder if character action games weren't for me. Then I hit mission 5, and everything clicked, specifically with the fight with Agni and Rudra, something about parrying their strikes and hitting them so hard their sword-heads fly out of their hands, then from there I got their weapons and oh my god I was having so much fun, and then getting to mission 7 and fighting Vergil and having it be one of my favorite bosses in recent memory, and each Vergil fight brought a new twist to the formula and the game just clicked for me so much and next thing I know I've put 30 hours into this game over the span of a single week, and continuing to grow that number, 100%ing the game with both Dante and Vergil, planning to see how far I can get in terms of the harder difficulties, not to mention the freestyle mode added in the switch port (my main method of getting that sweet sweet stylish goodness, although I occasionally dabble in the PC port a friend gifted me a copy of thank you you know who you are) I feel like this is a game I'll continue to come to learn and master, because that process is absolutely thrilling so far and this game has cemented itself as one of my absolute favorites, from the style to the presentation to most importantly that crunchy gameplay, this game is an absolute masterpiece, can't wait to play 5!!!
