Played a bit more DmC. Still not sure how to feel about it. I think it has some gorgeous visuals, and as far as 'edgy' reimaginings go, I actually really like the direction DmC has taken it. It's basically taken every part of the original franchise that worked, stripped out the melodrama and streamlined and modernised the storytelling.

There are other improvements as well, most noticeably in the platforming, which is actually as fun as platforming can be, rather than downright infuriating like it was in the original games.

The only thing I'm not really sold on yet is the combat, I know DMC is famous for its combat, but I've always found it overrated. DMC was just lots of cool ideas laid on top of each other with minimal effort to make them cohesive. They have tried to make it a bit more cohesive this time around, but it still feels oddly cluttered at times.
