Mechanics

The productions included in the release on the PC platform, PS4, etc. Devil May Cry HD Collection represents a species of slashers. Each of these titles is divided into missions, where we deal primarily with the exploration of different locations (Devil May Cry takes us to the fictional island of Mallet, where gothic buildings dominate; Devil May Cry 2 takes place in a modern metropolis; while the places we travel in Devil May Cry 3, combine the best features of locations prepared for both earlier games) and on the fight against enemies.

On our way we face both smaller enemies (we are talking about masks from hell) and powerful bosses, whose overcoming requires not only perfect reflex and skillful fingers, but also mastering the secrets of an extensive combat system. The clashes take place in real time, and Dante confronts enemies with a sword and two pistols - a wide range of combo launchers allow you to lead out spectacular attacks.

When the special indicator is charged, the heros can turn into a demon, wreaking havoc in the ranks of the enemy. In addition, the struggle to Devil May Cry 3 The Swordmaster technique is based on precise sword cuts, Royal Guard is used in defense, while Gunslinger is the most effective in offense.

During the game we observe the action from film shots - the series is based on prerendered backgrounds with a static camera. The above described elements of the game are complemented by simple platform segments and uncomplicated riddles based primarily on searching for objects. It is worth ing that our actions are constantly watched over by the scoring system; the grades awarded to us are determined by the time of completion of a particular stage, the style of the fight, the objects used and the damage suffered.

DualShockers: 5.5 / 10 by Taylor Lyles

When factoring in on whether or not I can recommend this game to newcomers to the series, I honestly do not think I can; Devil May Cry HD Collection‘s re-release poorly-made compilation fails to show what made the franchise as popular as it is, while old fans of the series will be disappointed to see this game is nothing more than a rehash, and obviously, if you did not like the series already, then there is a high probability that this compilation will not change your mind.

We Got This Covered: 3 / 5 by Jon Hueber

It's great that the first three entries of the series are now available on current gen systems, but it's hard to ignore that the Devil May Cry HD Collection is essentially a re-release of a port of decade old games.

Hardcore Gamer: 2.5 / 5 by Colin Stevens

In the end, the Devil May Cry HD Collection is a lazy port of a set of lazy ports from six years ago, but it is technically the best way to play two fantastic games – and also Devil May Cry 2.
