DmC is everything that Capcom fans should dread. It’s a reboot of a beloved franchise with the hero transformed beyond all recognition, and one that’s been tackled by an external, Western developer. Bearing in mind Capcom’s previous experiments with Western teams – Resident Evil: Outbreak, Bionic Commando and the diabolical Dark Void spring to mind – that’s reason enough to fear the worst. Yet DmC is a triumph, not simply as good as the old Devil May Cry games but arguably better. It’s taken the best of the series and twisted it into bold new forms, yet without sacrificing the overall spirit.

On the non-combat side there’s good news and vaguely bad news. The bad? DmC is a fairly linear action game, and there’s little option to really explore the crumbling mansions and sinister facilities you’ll find inside. There are hardly any puzzles to solve and the focus is very much on the action. The good? Dante’s new weapons and capabilities make for some excellent platforming sections, with the new Dante easier to control and more responsive than the old. With abilities to grapple and swing from glowing blue hooks or grapple and tug glowing red ones, there’s more opportunity to interact with the environment, and chaining jumps, glides and grapples together is almost as much fun as chaining combos.
