Devil May Cry: HD Collection

While this is the second time this collection of games has been released, it still highlights how good these action games were when they first appeared. Devil May Cry: HD Collection offers 1080p visuals running at a higher frame rate to take advantage of the better hardware that powers the Xbox One, PS4, and modern PCs. While the textures have been updated, the lighting still looks flat, and many of the dull gray walls and rust-colored floors look only so-so after the makeover. The PC version also had some visual stuttering issues here and there that many players will find to be jarring. Still, the action is fast, intense, and memorable. The bundle also adds some new content, including exclusive artwork and videos, and other assorted goodies available from the main menu. The third game in particular is a real thrill; Dante can kick a creature into the air and, with the help of twin handguns, kill it eight times over before it hits the ground. For under $30, these three repackaged award-winning games are a delight for longtime fans and newcomers alike (especially those that may have missed the collection the first time around) -- but this demon hunter's adventures should clearly be kept for only mature players who can handle the gothic occult adventure and constantly bloody combat found in all three games.
