Ninja Theory's reboot, with a reimagined Dante switching between angel and demon weapons in a Limbo that reshapes itself around him. As a standalone action game the combat is fluid and the levels are the most visually inventive in the series. It is also mechanically simpler than DMC3 or 5, the writing tries hard to be edgy, and the constant camera shake genuinely causes motion sickness for some.
