There are games that, like a pair of acid-washed jeans pulled out of an attic box, act as a window into a certain time. Devil May Cry is very much a window into the year 2001, a snapshot of the post- Matrix pop-cultural moment where the black-clad, industrial noise-rock aesthetic had come as close...

The chance to properly spruce up Dante's first three adventures has been missed here, and instead we get the already miserly remasters that appeared on PS3. At a time where it'd be great to remember why Devil May Cry can be so good, we get minimal effort and Devil May Cry 2.

Style and powerful combos – it's something that's followed the Devil May Cry franchise since it launched on the PS2 in the early 2000s. Move on to 2018 and what we have here is what we can expect from the world of gaming we live in today – a remaster of a remaster.

Devil May Cry 3 is still loaded with style; You want Dante You got Dante; Defeating a boss is still satisfying

Devil May Cry 2 - kill it with fire; PS2 CG cutscene quality

I always remember standing in my local video game store all the way back in 2001 pondering the tough choice of Devil May Cry or Max Payne . I asked the store assistant for her opinion and she said that I should get Max Payne , so I got Max Payne and Devil May Cry , which worked out great.

Gameplay is still fun; Some great enemy design; DMC series arguably at its best; DMC3 benefits more in HD Collection

Re-worked textures and 4K support is a missed opportunity; Dated camera can be frustrating in first two games

Developed by Capcom, Devil May Cry is yet again getting the remaster treatment, this time bringing it up to speed with the PlayStation 4. The series, of course, follows the son of Sparda, Dante, as he jumps, shoots, slashes, and sasses his way through hordes of demons and horrible creatures.

Fast Paced; Nostalgic; Dante Is Back; Notable Series Progression

Camera Angles (DMC 1; Boring Dante (DMC 2; No Camera Controls

Buy DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition The original Devil May Cry created the character-action genre, and the reboot of the franchise by developer Ninja Theory drew a lot of ire from Devil May Cry die-hards.

'DmC: Devil May Cry' was always destined to be the game that wasn't enough like the numbers 1,3 & 4. But with the passage of time, the new Dante and his enjoyable combat can now be considered as their own fun action set, worthy of a hardcore audience.

Still fun, still crazy, and still worth buying.

Graphics are more mellow and creamy this collection is for nostalgia and if you ever in the mood to play the series again, love it but they dont need to emphasize how they worked on the graphics, makes it seem they just went in there and just dimmed the texture a bit.

Only masochists will appreciate all of the new features, but they do help to round out what was always an unfairly pilloried and already highly competent action game.

Hugely entertaining combat system is fluid, highly versatile, and relatively accessible; The optional tweaks to the difficulty are substantial and hugely challenging

Few real changes to the core combat, leaving the boss battles and late-game enemies as frustrating as ever; Dante is still a douchebag and the low res textures are still distracting
