Starting the DMC series, honestly having a good time
So I've just started playing DMC. Been wanting to play the series for a while, and due to the recent sale I was able to buy DMC 1-5 (Not DmC, not sure if I'll get it tbh).
I'm having a great time playing through DMC1 rn, love the vibes, definitely RE vibes (I know that it was originally supposed to be RE4 before becoming it's own thing). The controls are kinda iffy, but overall this game doesn't feel that hard.
HOWEVER, I had just finished Mission 17 and DEAR GOD that mission was hard. Like difficulty-wise all prior missions were at most 4-5/10 while this mission was closer to an 8-9/10. (Image attached was my live reaction)
Anyways, just wanted to share my feelings so far. Honestly I've been having a grand ol' time, definitely a fun game. Excited to play throughout the series seeing the games evolve over time.
So far I'd say DMC1 is looking to be a solid 7/10, maybe higher. The combat is fun, the atmosphere is amazing, and the story I'm enjoying, but the somewhat jank controls and bad camera angles (not saying that fixed cameras are bad in general, just doesn't work well for this type of game) make some aspects of the game more tedious than I'd like.
