Session fun rating: 8/10
Here's a game that I've been interested in for a long time but haven't had time for yet. I'm a huge fan of both Heavenly Sword and Enslaved by Ninja Theory. DMC is their latest game which is a reboot of the Devil May Cry series. The first thing that impressed me with the game is just how sharp and precise the controls are. The demo had a regular level and a boss battle. The level was mostly melee combat, some puzzle platforming and some action platforming. Everything works perfectly and on cue. There is no way anyone can complain that this game does not control well.
The combat system is interesting, there are buttons for ranged attack, melee attack, lift attack, jump and evade. Most of these functions can be modified on the fly with the L2 and R2 buttons which basically equips Dante with a scythe or an axe. There is also a grapple that can pull enemies or pull Dante, depending on the situation. It all plays really well honestly. The graphics are pretty good but if I bought it, it would have to be on PC since the frame rate took a few hits and the textures were a little meh.
The boss battle was fucking awesome. The beast is some fucked up demon that vomits constantly, is 12000 years old and has a very expressive way of saying "Fuck you". The battle itself was pretty fun but pretty basic with Dante attacking it's hands and grappling from platform to platform to evade attacks. I think I like this game!
