an okay late 80s RPG. Square was still coming into their own at the time and the dragon quest influences were still apparent to me. However, it's still a nice story about war and strife. It really gets into the sacrifices a rebelling country can make during such a time. Also, the character designs are really cool! Overall a fine time

The perfect hack and slash! It not only features an amazing cast of characters but also doesn't take itself too seriously at all, which I feel most games do way too often. Most games would have a brooding protagonist based on what happened in Dante's life but the game realizes that everyone handles grief differently. This is truly a story about grief and loss but also about finding oneself and they do a good job with putting a veil of humor over it. Dante distracts himself with problems in the human world while Vergil does the opposite to avoid thinking about what they have both lost, only difference is that lady was there to show Dante the error in his ways and to not distract himself. This game made one of the greatest gaming franchises into what it is today. The only thing I gotta mark it down for is its lack of weapon switching but that's fixed in later versions. Overall, one of the best games of all time!!

If I gotta start off this review with one thing it's that I'm a sucker for a good hypothetical. Another way to describe it is moral questions. This game, in my opinion, offers a very good moral quandary. Not only does it do that but it also tells an amazing story that leaves you seeing the beauty and ugliness in so many things in life. It's truly a game that lets you question things about yourself and others. How far will a human go for something he loves whether it's organic or inorganic? Alive or dead? Does it really matter if they're not hurting anyone? All things said and done, I like this game a lot.

I prefer the original series to be honest but dont get me wrong, the world-building, as well as the character growth in this game, is crazy good. I feel it's hard to not make kid characters either unrealistic or annoying but this game does the job well. They make aterus feel needed and at some parts even wanted. Great game with a great story and great combat.
