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

≠ Missing: precision platforming.

The largest of the three by scale: kaiju summons fight alongside you and levels open up considerably. Core combat is as sharp as ever when the game lets you use it. That is the issue — demon sequences, side characters and setpiece variety cut into the moment-to-moment fighting, and the story is the weakest of the series.

Released 15 years after Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix.

✓ Nearly identical: action RPG combat, shooter and third-person shooting.

≠ Missing: 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.

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.

The castle is the achievement: densely built, worth exploring on its own terms, and full of small detail. Spell-chaining combat is more involved than expected. Outside it, the open world follows a familiar checklist of camps and puzzles, and the main story resolves in a rush that leaves several threads sitting unfinished.
