Holy crap this was by far a massive improvement over the previous installments and easily one of the best action games I've ever played. The sheer amount of options the game lets you utilize in terms of guns and melee weapons is crazy. The style system was also a really cool way to get a lot of variety in moveset dynamics, I enabled a style switching mod which opened up so many fun possibilities to really get the most out of this combat.

Story wise they really found their mark here, this younger Dante is a lot more interesting and his carefree spirit is a joy to watch. Some of the cutscenes are here are easily some of the most entertaining I've ever seen in a video game.

Sadly there are a few things that hold this game back from being a masterpiece like some of the non-linear levels being an absolute chore to play and the inconsistent camera can really lead to some unfair hits especially when the targeting system really struggles around walls and obscures your view.
