Originally intended to be the fourth installment in the Resident Evil series, Devil May Cry is an action-adventure game that introduced a host of new elements to the gaming community. Chief among them is the Stylish Rank, which grades the player's performance in combat. The game is split into Missions, which are individually scored according to various factors, such as Orbs gathered and damage taken. Additionally, Devil May Cry did away with the pre-rendered backgrounds of prior Resident Evil games in order to allow for a dynamic camera system.
Set in modern times on the fictional Mallet Island, the story centers on Dante, a demon hunter who uses his business to carry out a lifelong vendetta against all demons. He meets a woman named Trish who takes him on a journey to defeat the demon lord Mundus, who is responsible for the deaths of Dante's brother and mother.

Is it a masterpiece? no, but it IS amazing and unique game . it's also the spookiest devil may cry game, having the perfect balance of the resident evil puzzles and exploration and combat in the franchise.
it could've been better with a better story/writing, mission select, bloody Palace, weapon switching (like DMC3), let's hope for a DMC1 Special Edition or something 🫦.

The game didn't age well,
and those fixed camera angles? They’ll have you cursing every corner.
Sure, it’s an old game, so it's excusable, but even nostalgia can’t save it.
I wanted to feel unstoppable, carving through demons with style and grit, but instead, I was struggling from the camera angles more than the enemies. A relic of its time, sure, but some relics are better left in the past.
