DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition

Overview

DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition brings the same great game to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, along with a couple of tweaks to make it feel different for returning veterans. The sharper visuals, smooth 60-fps gameplay, and other features and enhancements gave me plenty of reasons to be happy about coming back, and to recommend that you pick it up for the first time.

Expert reviews and ratings

Neither the visual enhancements nor the added content transform DmC, but this is the best version available of a cracking and under-appreciated action game, with tweaks to bring it more in line with what Devil May Cry fans loved about the earlier chapters.

Most of what made DmC Devil May Cry so enjoyable has been altered; some of it for the better, some for the worse. While the fluid and highly enjoyable combat remain intact, the restructuring of collectibles and scenarios such as the final boss tarnish the experience.

When you read "definitive edition" in the title of Capcom's new next-gen re-release of DmC: Devil May Cry, be sure not to mistake it for "Director's Cut." Aside from some very slightly improved visuals, a more consistent framerate and a few oddly minor dialogue edits, this is exactly what the original release of DmC was — no more and no less.

No game is perfect. Even when we play the best ones, we find things that we wish the developer had done differently. Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition is a rare case where the developer goes back and fixes those things, big and small. Whether you’re a newcomer or a devoted fan, this is a remaster done right.
