So after playing through all of the DMC games, it finally led up to what made me interested in the series to begin with. And it truly did live up to my expectations, if not more so. I was skeptical of how Nero would play this time around but I really grew to love it, V's cool to play as but not really my style. Playing as Dante is fun as hell, especially with Cavaliere . The bosses in this game are great, a portion of them are fanservice but most of them were fun nonetheless. Fighting Vergil this time around was fun as I anticipated while not dethroning DMC 3's Vergil boss fight as the best but it was truly great to fight him. Playing as Vergil is where my love for this game peaked. His theme, his gameplay, his taunts, all of them make it a treat to play as him. I'm still conflicted on whether I think it's better than DMC 3, but it definitely comes close.
