This is turning into one of those games that can’t be easily put down. I played for a couple hours last night, and then I woke up and played a bit in bed. It helped my computer generate some heat to keep the bedroom warm, handy when you wake up to cold weather. I’ve continued playing it through the evening and so far I’ve been enjoying it. I’m playing on Human difficulty and it feels a little too easy though compared to the older games. I’m thinking when I do my second playthrough I’ll bump up the difficulty, and even install some mods. The Nexus already has a few things that have piqued my interest.
So far I’ve played as Nero, V and Dante. V seems easier to play compared to Dante or Nero, but still takes some getting used to since his fighting style is quite a bit different. Instead of fighting straight on you wear your enemies down using your familiars, and then once the enemies turn purple you can successfully go in for the kill with your cane. There is a sort of yin and yang at play here, because your demon pets can’t finish off an enemy, and you can’t wear them down like Nero or Dante. I’m not sure if I have a favorite between the three; they’re all fun and they all compliment each other in fighting styles. I especially enjoy the arsenal of arms or “Devil Breakers” Nero has to choose from throughout the game.
There is a healthy selection of Devil Breakers that you’ll find throughout the game that grant you different abilities, some are insanely powerful and others exist mainly to make you question why; aside from the pic above there’s a Breaker designed with your girlfriend in mind… and no it isn’t a dildo, but may as well be. :v:
The graphics for the PC version are nicely optimized. Everything runs butter smooth on ultra, even when playing in 4K downscaled. I may have to install this on the laptop for those special days at work. :zorak:
