this is basically just dmc1 with extra sauce. everything feels ten times better: combat, story, secret levels.

the few things i missed from dmc1 is probably just guns being a bit more useful. one thing i liked about dmc1 was the ability to use guns with dt to get quick health back and that has basically been taken out entirely and the only way to get health is through high combos and killing people. this is a non issue really but it did make me sad.

extremely solid and now im kind of sad i didnt try some of the other rereleases that added style switching and other shenanigans because i felt kinda locked into the style i chose since leveling styles seemed like a bitch to do more than one in a playthrough.

dante has also become one of my favorite video game protagonists of all time. good stuff all around.
