Devil May Cry HD Collection Reviews
In the end, the Devil May Cry HD Collection is a lazy port of a set of lazy ports from six years ago, but it is technically the best way to play two fantastic games – and also Devil May Cry 2.
Out of the three games in this collection, Devil May Cry 3 is the only one to stand up to the test of time.
If you expected something new from this version, too bad. Except that it now runs in 1080p/60fps, Devil May Cry HD Collection is the exact same compilation it was in 2012. Nothing more was added, the first two episodes feel quite old in terms of gameplay compared to a still fun DMC 3. And that's it: decent for newcomers, useless for those who already know them by heart.

The chance to properly spruce up Dante's first three adventures has been missed here, and instead we get the already miserly remasters that appeared on PS3. At a time where it'd be great to remember why Devil May Cry can be so good, we get minimal effort and Devil May Cry 2.
It is unlikely I will end up in the eighth circle covered in my own excrement after this review...
The Devil May Cry HD could deliver better performance and an acceptable graphics level rather than transferring the same version of previous generation devices to existing platforms with little change except for 1080p resolution and 60 frames, making collection unworthy experience for those who have already played The game before, but the newcomers will undoubtedly face many problems with the collection within graphics or camera or the level of enemies except the third part

The past which really may make the devil cry.

When factoring in on whether or not I can recommend this game to newcomers to the series, I honestly do not think I can; Devil May Cry HD Collection‘s re-release poorly-made compilation fails to show what made the franchise as popular as it is, while old fans of the series will be disappointed to see this game is nothing more than a rehash, and obviously, if you did not like the series already, then there is a high probability that this compilation will not change your mind.
Another bad porting of a mediocre collection, that definitely doesn't stand the test of time. It's pretty pricey as well, and the only title worth of your money is probably Dante's Awakening. It could – and should – have been better.

Devil May Cry was once the pinnacle of action games, but 2001 is 17 years ago. Back then we had no smartphones, no Twitter, no Youtube, no Facebook and barely had online gaming. In gaming years it's ancient and should perhaps remain in the past. We have a new demon slayer and her name is Bayonetta.
This is very much Devil May Cry 1, 2, and 3, with pretty much all the good and bad that came with the original titles.
The Devil May Cry franchise deserves better than another low-effort HD collection. Dante’s Awakening is still a great game that you should play if you haven’t already. However, the second game is terrible and the first game is a little rough due to the awkward camera. The lack of any extra content celebrating this great series is disappointing and makes this collection hard to definitively recommend for new and existing fans alike.
It always feels great to be able to play enhanced versions of good old titles on new consoles; but in Devil May Cry case, there's not enough to get excited about, as visuals are dated and old issues are still there. If you are not a fan of the series, you should probably ignore this one.

Devil May Cry HD Collection is a lazy work by the developers: compared to the previous HD remastered it doesn't add anything and it even more accuses the old age of the saga.

At their best, the Devil May Cry games are – and will always be – brilliant, but couldn't Capcom have given them back to us with a little more Dante-style panache?
It's great that the first three entries of the series are now available on current gen systems, but it's hard to ignore that the Devil May Cry HD Collection is essentially a re-release of a port of decade old games.
A relatively competent remaster collection but the games are so old now that, without a full remake, newcomers will struggle to understand how they became so beloved.
Devil May Cry HD Collection delivers the best, as well as the weakest, game of whole franchise in a single package. Unfortunately, Capcom didn't put in the effort to refresh Dante's stories for the standards of today. It's a shame, these games deserved more attention.

Devil May Cry HD Collection despite its graphical and camera controlling issues, is a quite good choice for the fans of hack and slash. However if you have experienced the trilogy before, you wouldn't miss something.

It's a shame that Capcom did not want to include new features that would improve the game experience of these 3 classics.
