    FUCK, I love those guys!

    Don’t judge me, but I think their take on DmC is the best combats system in any action game.

        Amen!

        Actually, Doom 2016 felt strangly similar to me with it’s action, secret room keys, soundtrack, half-cartoon visual style and overall flow.

        Devil may cry 5 is the best for me. I think it was DmC but polished too a mirror finish.

          I wish I enjoyed it as much, but the “hold trigger” swap was so good. I kind of get lost in Dante’s moves with the d-pad. Wish I could replicate the controls… maybe I should try again lol

      I was so sad when they announced the acquisition couple of years back because I knew this was about to happen

      DmC introduced a lot of gameplay elements to the series that I loved, but I think the way dmc5 builds on it is truly unmatched

      gonna miss Ninja Theory o7
