Sometimes in life, we make what are called mistakes. These mistakes range from a variety of things, and DMC2 is one of them. However I did not genuinely think my fellow Backloggd members would be so evil, so cruel as to wish upon me the experience of playing Lucia's route in Devil May Cry 2.

First off, let me give some compliments.

It's nice that not every single level is just a repeat of the Dante playthrough, providing at least some visual variety, and I like her animations and design more than Dante in this game but that is where the compliments end.

Onto the problems.

The game is still DMC2, which means it basically plays itself and is barely an experience for the player. The levels are dismally boring, the enemy design is basically non-existent, and the music is just white noise.

However Lucia's route provides one feature that makes DMC2 become even more unbearable than it was: Underwater Levels.

These control, so awkwardly, and you are expected to fight a boss fight, an INVISIBLE FISH BOSS FIGHT, which only allows you to lock on sporadically.

Disgust is not harsh enough a word to describe it.

Sometimes I like to ponder the philosophical meaning behind games. What meaning they have to me and others, and the intention of the creators, and their vision.

Do all games have value?

Well, this sure doesn't.

Anyways, I think I really need to get a life, playing games like this are why I'm so out of shape and why I can't seem to be happy.

Next is DMC5 though, thank god.

P.S.
I hate Dante's design in this game, the grey part on the torso looks like a vest without being a vest and it looks so fucking weird and I don't like it god I fucking hate this game, I'm so glad I never have to play it ever again.
