In 2022 I decided to only play hack and slash games, in whatever order i saw fit to connect any threads I wanted to explore. This is one of the games I played during The Year of the Hack and Slash! I’m porting over this post which originally appeared as a thread on twitter in 2022.*

I’m playing a few games right now, but next in the Year of the Hack ’n’ Slash is a doozy… Devil May Cry! I chickened out and got the HD collection on Series X as instead of using my PS2, but I forgive me. And as it turns out, I’ve got feelings about this game.

I’m about 3/4 of the way through. For a PS2 game that’s been upped to HD, it looks GREAT! It’s just a cool game, kind of the way I imagine a (good) 3D Castlevania would look. It’s got an air of mystery to it and handles the vagueries of a haunted castle ambiance pefectly.

That’s a wrap on DMC! By the end I was in love. It’s everything I love from games like this; attitude, fast action, baffling story and HARD bosses! I spent 4 hrs on the last 3 chapters, the difficulty really ramps up, which rules cause you fight gods for the fate of the universe!

Here’s a secret… I’m terrible at these games. BUT this game clicked at a point and I was able to go from a C/D student to B, but the final areas were challenging so making it through was a triumph! I AM tempted to go back on Hard and see how far I get! But for now Im moving on!
