Great game made even better thanks to now being able to freely switch between all weapons and styles like in dmc 4 and 5. It doesn't effect your combo score like it does in the later games but it definitely is nice to have everything at all times. I can't be the only one who never bothered learning royal guard back in the day since using it meant being locked to it for a whole level.
DMC3 still has some of that Resident Evil DNA in regards to the map that isn't exactly ideal. I kinda prefer my character action games to just be more linear.I will say there are a couple of enemy types that are more annoying then actually difficult. I also don't like that 2nd to last fight actively taking away moves and replacing them with a one time gimmick. It more than made up for it with an excellent final boss though.
BTW It's pretty wild this version is still a Switch exclusive. It needs to get ported to everything since this is the definitive version of DMC3 in my eyes.
