🥱I played this through in one painful sitting and it honestly felt like I was being fucked with the whole time.

The game is insultingly dull, the enemies are lacking for the series and the areas are both uninspired and needlessly huge or complex. Every mission has at least one part that either makes no sense or exists only to waste your time, often both. The combat felt exactly the same start to finish and every boss could be killed near instantly by activating Devil Trigger and holding square.

Seriously the reputation is deserved, just skip this entry it adds nothing to the franchise but a sour taste.
