- Ultimately, DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition is a steal for its $39.99 price tag. It provides fantastic gameplay which is accessible to all, an ingenious redesign to a beloved franchise, some very memorable moments (including some of the finer voice acting in gaming, even if some of the dialogue is as cheesy as the game’s predecessors), fascinatingly executed social commentary, plenty of replay value and – something many games are missing these days – tons of good, pure fun.
Adrian Winters · Mar 30, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - With combat so fluid and well-implemented, my only real concern would be the same issues I've had with the game in the past, and others of its ilk. Instead of levels that flow along, with enemies to fight and kill, DmC repeatedly locks you in an arena-style fights, and these instances are often easy to telegraph. ...Now, this is Devil Mary Cry, not an open world sandbox, but I feel it could be a little less rail road and more flexible, but it's a minor concern, and there's plenty of game here in the decent length campaign.
Aaron Birch · Mar 16, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition proves that DmC is still brilliant. A slight resolution upgrade, frame rate boost and additional content make for a good value package, but if you've already played DmC on last-gen platforms, you may want to carefully consider re-purchasing this, despite it remaining deliciously devilish.
Richard Walker · Mar 11, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - As impossible as that sounds, DmC’s frenzied monster-clobbering is moreish enough to tempt me back. Given the current release crop on Xbox One and PS4, DmC should be the go-to choice for hack-and-slash connoisseurs. Who knows, maybe you'll even come to not-hate punk Dante.
Tom Senior · Mar 10, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - It may be another HD remake, but DmC does more than dust off and polish up an old title. In fact, it doesn’t really improve its looks much beyond the resolution and frame rate, but rather gives players the tools to tailor the experience. This is a remake that’s been created based on community’s feedback, upping speed, increasing difficulty and moving items to keep player’s on their toes, meaning there’s plenty here to justify a return, especially at a budget price point.
Brett Phipps · Mar 10, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Clearly, Capcom and Ninja Theory put their time into creating DmC: Devil May Cry Definitive Edition. Between the upgraded visuals and new features and modes, the Definitive Edition is worth buying for fans of the series or complete newcomers. There is enough new material here to allow players who have already completed the original game to go back and enjoy the Definitive Edition, and, besides the few cutscene errors and the poor writing, it is a must-buy title.
Mark Labbe · Mar 10, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - The Turbo Mode is a welcome addition, speeding up the combat just enough to make a difference, and the Hardcore Mode offers an old school rebalancing structure to the core mechanics. While DmC Devil May Cry is still a top-notch experience that’s highly recommended for newcomers and existing fans, calling this the “Definitive Edition” is a stretch.
Adam Beck · Mar 10, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - DmC Definitive Edition beefs up the excellent original with better graphics, all the DLC, retuned combat, and a host of difficulty modes. If you loved the original, Definitive is better. If you were avoiding it because you're a Devil May Cry purist, Definitive is closer to the original series than ever before.
Mike Williams · Mar 10, 2015 Reviewed on PS4 - DmC: Devil May Cry is one of the best hack-and-slash games out there, and now it's even better thanks to a higher frame-rate, fresh difficulty settings, and a slight speed boost. If you didn't get around to slaying demons with Dante back in 2013, now's your chance to do so. As far as return business goes, this one is deserving of a purchase if you simply want an excuse to revisit this adrenaline rush of a game.
Dave Letcavage · Mar 10, 2015 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - You can argue DmC‘s merits as a Devil May Cry entry all the live long day. You can bicker over whether or not it deserves the share a name with the series’ frankly spotty past. This, however, is not an argument I choose to indulge, because the bottom line is that DmC is a beautiful, bold, and supremely enjoyable videogame in its own right. It deserves to be praised.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
The Dante of DmC is a young man who has no respect for authority or society in general. Dante knows that he is not human, but also that he is not like the demons that have tormented him throughout his life. Caught between worlds, he feels like an outcast. He is now discovering and coming to terms with what it means to be the child of a demon and an angel. This split personality has a real impact on gameplay with Dante being able to call upon angel and demon abilities at will, transforming his Rebellion sword on the fly to dramatically affect both combat and movement.
Developer: Ninja Theory
