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.

Released 4 years after Sonic and the Black Knight.

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.

A mid-budget RPG with a colonial-era setting that is genuinely unusual, and diplomacy that can resolve most quests without combat if you invest in it. Faction reputation matters. Production values show the budget — environments repeat heavily between regions, animation is stiff, and combat never becomes more than adequate.

Released 10 years after Sonic and the Black Knight.

≠ Where it differs: brings adventure storytelling, while skipping precision platforming

A Yoko Taro game, which means the systems are secondary to the structure: repeated playthroughs reveal different perspectives on the same events, and the tone is deliberately unpleasant. The combat is basic hack-and-slash and the technical performance is poor, with heavy frame drops. The final branch is notoriously difficult in a way that has little to do with skill.

Released 4 years after Sonic and the Black Knight.
