Felt too short and too long at the same time. Thought I was really liking the game at first but I got to about mission 16 and realized that I had stopped playing the game for the enjoyment of it but was instead just playing it so I could beat it and move on. Felt repetitive and uninteresting and compared to DMC3, this game lacked a lot of personality. It still had a bit of that devil may cry edgelord vibe that I've come to appreciate but it also felt blank and I don't know why. The locations of the levels all blended together, the bosses were meaningless and the enemies were bland. The story (while story is never a staple of DMC) was basic and uninteresting.
But the gameplay? People say the gameplay is amazing and like... sometimes? The game forces you to play as three different characters are all varying degrees of fun. Nero is fine, he can be cool at times but he feels more like a diet Dante in pretty much every way. V is terrible to play. He's clunky, unfun and also extremely easy. And then Dante is about as fun as he was in dmc3, but you don't unlock him until halfway through the game and by the time I got him I was already starting to lose interest.
6/10
