Summary

Vergil's Downfall, while unable to reach it's full potential, isn't terrible. Vergil's unique combat mechanics are fun and engaging, but everything else just feels too lazily slapped together to ignore.

We like

Interestingly dark plot does a good job of making this feel like a prequel (and homage to DMC3)

We dislike

Frequent low-severity bugs, typos and glitches detract from overall experience
2D animated cut-scenes fail to impress
Feels artificially lengthened, and doesn't offer much replay value
