Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition

Very spectacular dynamic game with many fights, boss fights and puzzles. Very well-made tutorial and hints. Can recommend it for everyone.

First time playing DMC4 (Playstation 2 was the last console I bought), I find it smoother than previous games (although DMC1 and 3 are truly epic). In addition, the chance to (finally) play with Trish and Lady, with their own techniques, really adds value to the game: the only downsize is that the same levels are repeated many times, as the only difference between them, Vergil and Dante/Nero is few more cutscenes. I find also the "fierce souls" mechanism a good one, as it is possible to avoid the trade-offs in previous chapter (to buy a technique or an item? Tricky question when the item is a blue, purple or gold orb). Nero, the new main character and his devil bringer changes the usual "sword and guns" approach in a good way; the devil bringer attacks can be different for each enemy, increasing of variety of combos. I didn't face any crash issue on startup, but I understand that the game has been tweaked to a lower resolution until (hopefully) Gog will issue a patch (hope soon). This is also mentioned in the "Description" section. This is the same issue as the Steam's release and there is an already available fix, so my vote is mainly for the game itself and for GOG for having issued it DRM-free (this has to be taken into account). When GOG will have fixed the resolution issue I will be happy to increase my vote by one star.

Keeps crashing as you start it, the same as the steam version.

Game plays perfect, when the game first launched I had to tweak some settings to get it into full screen, but after that it plays like butter. Love the port, thank you GoG for what you do!

This title does NOT work on modern hardware, despite the GOG title.
