Sure the game was vastly bigger than its predecessor, but the monotonous gameplay and high repetition in both enemies and boss battles made Devil May Cry 2 feel like a chore to play.

Considering this is the second time these three games have been ported, it would have been presumed that the issues with the camera should have been corrected.ĭriving my focus onto Devil May Cry 2 it is quite obvious that I find the sequel not only a disappointment but also the weakest link in Devil May Cry HD Collection. In addition to ruining the protagonist and featuring a difficult camera, the combat has been dumbed down, which is a bit questionable considering the combat controls were never difficult, to begin with. More often than not, I found myself fighting with the camera to get it in the direction I wanted it to be placed in, it doesn’t help the fact that Devil May Cry 2 already had a problematic camera, to begin with. While the overall combat is still just as addicting as it was all those years ago, the game can still be a pain to play, primarily because of the camera. Primarily because he was exciting and while I did not find the overall narrative enjoyable his personality provided me an incentive to continue playing the game, then the second game completely ruined his character making him feel like a piece of wood. More often than not, it reminds me of cheesy cartoons from the 80s, and 90s and I still love Dante’s character…in the first game. However, they are interesting because of the low-budget production value they offer.

However, the cutscenes are still enjoyable to watch. Of course, not every game is going to have The Last of Us levels of emotional journey’s and a solid story does not make or break a game. To put it nicely, the whole story is weak, and it is quite apparent that the game was heavily dependent on the gameplay. It’s the overall combat of the game, which drove me to the series, unlike its narrative. Grinding will eventually lead to no longer needing to rely on point-type rewards to help indicate your progression, but of course, it is still present. Over the course of the compilation, you can acquire additional weapons and moves, which provide more options for how you want Dante to play and what type of attacks you want him to execute.
