≠ Where it differs: brings fantasy world, while skipping deep RPG systems

The high point of character-action combat: dodging at the last instant slows time, which turns defence into the main source of offence and makes mastery feel enormous. Its detractors are right about the pacing — shooting and vehicle sections interrupt the fighting repeatedly, and the original PC port needed patching before it ran acceptably.

✓ Both are third-person Action RPGs — sharing deep RPG systems, action RPG combat and adventure storytelling

≠ Where it differs: brings puzzle design, while skipping deep simulation

Open-world traversal built around electricity: you climb, grind rails and fight in the same continuous motion, and it rarely asks you to stop moving. Combat stays readable even when the screen fills up. The karma system is the weak part — choices are signposted as obviously good or evil, so the moral framing lands flatter than the moment-to-moment play.

✓ Nearly identical: deep RPG systems, action RPG combat and adventure storytelling.

≠ Missing: deep simulation.

Web-swinging is the whole appeal here, and it works: momentum carries between buildings without breaking, and the city is built to be crossed rather than walked. Combat is Arkham-style freeflow, simplified. The open world is thin — collectibles and repeated crime events fill it, and the indoor stealth missions stop the traversal dead every time they appear.

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.
