A few years ago I tried out this game knowing many said it was a great starting point to understand the appeal of DMC.

I put down the game feeling more frustrated than anything.

After playing DMC5 and understanding how everything worked, I was convinced I needed to give DMC3 another go to truly understand its appeal.

I beat the game in that second playthrough.

It still frustrated me more than anything.

I can understand it may just be me sucking at games like these, but this was not a game for me honestly. Just glad to have beaten it.
