As someone new to the series, I don't see a need to play this when DMC 1-5 exist. Not that the game is bad. Dante comes off as a tryhard in this one, but the music and combat are good.

This game got a lot of hate because of Dante's new look and personality. I personally didn't mind it. Ninja Theory still made the game shine where DMC really matters: the combat. Combichrist and Noisia coming together for the soundtrack was crazy too. The only gripe I have was the absolutely awful virgil campaign. The story wasn't the best written, even by spectacle action game standards, but some of the dialog was entertaining and the anticapitalist message was an interesting backdrop for the game. It's like a bag of trail mix. You're not going to like everything, but the whole experience might be worth it.

They left us behind. Missing content from the PS4/Xbox One version. Unacceptable.
