  • I found the combat in this game to be extremely fun, possibly even the best I've experienced. It starts off challenging but becomes rewarding as you learn to juggle enemies and improve your skill rating.
  • The level design in terms of navigation and exploration is decent, but it doesn't stand out as particularly remarkable. However, the visual spectacles are unique and interesting.
  • My first 60-70 hours aiming for 100% achievements were incredibly enjoyable, and I never felt like I hit a skill ceiling with any of the four characters.
  • Playing through the game on 'Dante Must Die' difficulty became torturous due to increased enemy health and a mechanic that further boosts their attack and defense, making fights tedious and boring.
  • Bloody Palace is a fantastic mode for improving skills, smacking enemies or bosses around, and providing a great challenge.
  • The story is decent, but the dialogue can be unbearably cringe at times, breaking the charm when it leans too heavily into silliness.
  • Nero's and Vergil's battle themes are incredible, with top-tier hype music that motivates and enhances the experience.

  • I was initially concerned about my son spending too much time playing the game, as it made it harder for me to find ways to spend time with him.
  • I decided to create a Steam account and buy the game to try and connect with my son by playing alongside him.
  • I felt lost and confused when I first started playing the game, unsure of what to do.
  • I asked my son for help, and he lent me his controller, which made me feel supported and closer to him.
  • Playing the game together with my son in turns was one of the best experiences I’ve had with him since my wife passed away.
  • The game has brought me and my son closer together, helping us rebuild our relationship after a difficult time.
  • I now spend more time with my son outside the house as well, which has strengthened our bond.
  • The game has helped me reconnect with my son in a way that feels similar to how our relationship was before my wife died.

  • I am extremely frustrated that directional inputs depend on character direction instead of camera direction, as it makes gameplay confusing and unintuitive.
  • I find it impossible to combo effectively when the control scheme inverts every time I end up on the opposite side of an enemy, which ruins the flow of combat.
  • I believe this game could have been top-tier if the developers had included an option to switch between character and camera-based directional inputs.
  • The lack of a toggle for directional input preference feels like a major oversight, which significantly impacts my enjoyment of the game.
  • I feel that the current control scheme is a major flaw that holds the game back from reaching its full potential.

  • I really like this game and the DMC series in general, as I have played DMC 5 on my old PC many years ago and wanted to replay it on my new setup.
  • I find HDR to be a garbage invention, similar to ray tracing or mechanical keyboards for gamers, as I believe these are just repackaged versions of existing technologies marketed to people who don't think critically.
  • I am frustrated that HDR turns on automatically at the start of the game, blinding me, and that there is no option to turn it off within the game.
  • I am annoyed that even after closing the game, my monitor remains in HDR mode, forcing me to restart my PC to disable it.
  • I dislike the idea of having to use mods like Special K or trainers to fix such a basic issue, as I feel this is unnecessary and lazy on the part of the developers.
  • I usually enjoy modding my games, but I find it unacceptable to have to mod a game just to address such a fundamental problem.
  • I consider this the worst game in the DMC series due to what I perceive as laziness by Capcom in not addressing these issues.

  • I think the game looks good, which is a positive aspect.
  • I encountered a pretty big bug that made the game totally unplayable, which is very frustrating.
  • The camera rotation issue is a major problem, especially during the boss fight.
  • I was able to turn the camera 360 degrees with the mouse initially, which worked fine.
  • As soon as I reached the boss room, the camera stopped working properly, which is disappointing.
  • The camera only turns for about 60 degrees now, which is crippling in a fight.
  • This issue made the game totally unplayable, which is a significant drawback.
  • I was really looking forward to playing the game, so this bug is a big letdown.
  • The prologue was fine, and everything worked as expected initially.
  • It's a shame because I had high expectations for the game, but this bug ruined the experience.

  • I have experienced an unmeasurable amount of bugs, including camera lock issues and the game not reading my inputs, which forced me to restart the game.
  • The combat system feels raw and poorly designed, especially with the bad locking system and misplacement of interaction buttons on the same keys.
  • The game frequently misregisters my inputs, likely because I click buttons too fast for the game to handle.
  • I find the inclusion of microtransactions in a PvE storyline game to be unnecessary and disappointing.
  • The game feels very repetitive and boring, both in terms of game mechanics and level design.
  • Overall, I am very disappointed with the game due to its technical issues and lack of engaging content.
