This is such a gorgeous incredible love letter to action games.
The combat gameplay is smooth, easy to pick up but not too low a skill ceiling, and so much variety.
The setting design and character design has me speechless with how much intricacy there is. It’s literally stunning.
The music matching up with the gameplay as well? So fun, and they’re such bops. Chefs kiss on that one.
The main characters are incredibly well written. However the writing of certain characters is where my only issue comes in. Trish and Lady make up 2/3 of my top 3 characters (the other being Dante) but their reduction to fanservice is ): DMC has a habit of reducing female characters after their debut (eg Kyrie is voice only) and I hope if we get 6 or remakes with added content that we see more of the girlies getting their chance to shine.
The ending is perfect. I won’t go into it and spoil but it’s incredibly bittersweet and has definitely left me wanting more DMC to be released after this. <3
10/10 😌‼️

Another game that's PEAK PSX aesthetic, with a mixture of the comfortable, soothing music.
The low-poly environments and super expressive sprite work.
The very silly interactions between the characters and the wonderful dynamics they have.
And the wonderfully written story!
The only issue I have with the game is how incredibly slow the battles are, and how way too easy the game is. Though both of those things do admittedly add to it's comfy atmosphere, it's a real joy!
