Just finished Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition on PS4.

Clocked 36 hours - that is playing Human (Easy) and Devil Hunter (Normal) as Nero/Dante, Vergil and Lady/Trish playthroughs.

Unlocked all skills/abilities and maxed out health and magic.

Tried out Bloody Palace, it was okay.

Enjoyable experience and yet some repetitive level design.

+Playable Vergil, Trish and Lady with additional cutscenes
+Improved visuals (resolution/frame rate) and improved gameplay (combat improved a bit)
-Repetitive level design and annoying sections in the game such as the level disguised as a boss at the end
-Back and forth travel which makes the game feel like a chore at some parts

Combat as always is the best thing about the series/game - worst level design/progression out of all the games (yes including DMC2).

Score wise comparison to the rest of the series I played so far....
