dmc4 is undercooked as hell but i still love it as much as the other entries. like, yeah,
-the campaign folds back on itself about halfway through
- story is underwhelming and lacks the same focus seen in DMC3
- superfluous stuff like the dice game
- the savior boss
-the god damn style ruining chimera seeds, who thought this shit was a good idea
-(more of a personal gripe) not being able to equip/unequip Dante's devil arms.
despite it all, the combat does a lot of heavy lifting and was arguably the most intrinsically enjoyable it ever had been in the series before 5 came out. Dante is absolutely insane, in and outside of gameplay, and Nero, while not as deep, is still an absolute treat once you're used to him. his exceed system is just too good. and I love most of the bosses in this game.
it's hard to ignore what dmc4 could have been, but what's there is still a blast.
