DmC is the perfect reboot and should be set as a benchmark for other action game reboots. The story is simple yet entertaining thanks to the great execution of characters. The combat is fantastic and friendly to newcomers as well as challenging to veterans. At the end of the game you have a satisfying feeling of accomplishment. I haven't had so much fun playing a game since Batman Arkham City! The game will take about 12 hours for the first playthrough.
Story
The story of the game is quite straightforward. You don the role of Dante, a Nephilim. He is an offspring of the demon, Sparda, and the angel, Eva. Dante doesn’t remember anything before the age of seven. He is a brash badass with not a care in the world and does what he pleases. The opening of the game makes this very clear. He is reunited with his twin brother, Vergil, who unveils the truth to Dante that his mother was murdered and father imprisoned by the demon God Mundus. And now it is time for revenge!
