Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
For one, you have 3 different main characters all with extremely good and fun movesets that all have their nice little pieces of skill expression in each of them.
111 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
If you like playing zoners in a fighting game you might like the back and forth push pull style gameplay that they have of keeping demons outside of melee range so you can do your own sorta thing but personally its not for me and i find it repetitive and boring.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The visuals still hold up well, the soundtrack fits the action perfectly, but unfortunately, the bosses are not as challenging.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
And one final thing I want to mention is how amazing the soundtrack is.. especially the Prologue, Credits, and statue of divinity theme :-).
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Dante can now switch styles on the fly without having to open the menu like in DMC3, which really elevates the number of Super Sexy Stylish combos you can pull off.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
To fix this go to the game's folder and change the .exe properties to disable full-screen optimization.
