2.5/5 ★ – ethan_level's review of Devil May Cry 2.

This is a strange one. While I don’t think it’s an absolute horrible game, I do not think it’s great. If I were to sum this one up in one word it would be BORING. From the gameplay to the story, it’s all pretty bland, specifically the first half of the game I found to be kind of insufferable but I actually found myself enjoying the later half even if the combat can be summed up as “Hold X to watch Dante shoot his guns.” On a character note Dante just doesn’t seem the same, he’s way less witty and more depressing and the coin flip thing kind of rubbed me the wrong way, like he didn’t really have a heart, the story with granny and Lucia felt really pointless and in some parts a rehash of Trish. The villain was comical in some of his parts 😂 but yeah anyways, I’m glad I ended up playing it and not skipping it but yeah it’s really not that great, swords didn’t have to be in this game at all.
