DmC: Devil May Cry
The game is set in an alternate reality of the series. The game's story takes place in Limbo City, a modern-day city secretly controlled by all-powerful demons, manipulating humanity through the comforts of life, with the demons themselves residing in a parallel plane called 'Limbo'. Living on the fringes of the brainwashed society is Dante, a young man at odds with the demons who constantly hunt him, and the civilian authorities they control. Dante is warned by a young woman named Kat that he is in danger just as a Hunter demon drags him into Limbo. Dante navigates the Bellevue Pier's carnival and kills the demon with Kat's aid, who can see into Limbo with her psychic powers. Dante returns to the human world and accepts Kat's offer to meet with her boss, Vergil. Along the way, Kat explains that Vergil leads "The Order", a rogue vigilante organisation intent on exposing the demons and releasing the world from their control. Vergil tells Dante that with his help the Order can bring down the demons. Dante learns that he and Vergil are not only long lost twin brothers but also Nephilim, the children of Angel and Demon and the only beings capable of killing the cruel demon king Mundus. Their demon father Sparda was Mundus' chief lieutenant in the war against the angels until he betrayed Mundus when he fell in love with the angel Eva and sired the twins. Mundus, afraid of the Nephilim, attacked the family and killed Eva.

I think the reboot series has plenty of potential to be amazing. You can never replace the original DMC series but honestly DmC was a pretty badass game. I don't see why they can't just keep making DMC and DmC games, everyone would support them if they did both.

I love how this game uses the name Dante
Like instead of Dante acting like a cool demon slayer, he just acts like how someone named Dante would act irl; Right up there with names like Hunter and Bryce

It doesn't deserve the hate it bore at launch. This game got me into DMC as a franchise. This parallel Dante deserves a home. Just not in mainline DMC. They tried many things and it was enough to get me hooked. Ninja Theory didn't completely fuck this project up. Anyways if you love DMC you'll have fun with this side project. This game has a place in my edgy teen agnst heart:P

Best level design in the series and it's not even close. Over-hated in the past. Ahead of its time fs.

This game got a lot of hate because of Dante's new look and personality. I personally didn't mind it. Ninja Theory still made the game shine where DMC really matters: the combat. Combichrist and Noisia coming together for the soundtrack was crazy too. The only gripe I have was the absolutely awful virgil campaign. The story wasn't the best written, even by spectacle action game standards, but some of the dialog was entertaining and the anticapitalist message was an interesting backdrop for the game. It's like a bag of trail mix. You're not going to like everything, but the whole experience might be worth it.

Making this review a long time after I played this game.
I have one tip that will make this game VERY enjoyable to play: Mentally separate it from the actual Devil May Cry series. A lot of people harp on this game because it basically insults the original series. But if you just look at it as another demon hack and slash, with stylish moves, you'll enjoy it a lot.
This is worth the play, but if you get mad at it for not being like the original, then I'd say you are setting out to get mad in the first place.
