Bonus game. DmC: Devil May Cry
I considered this game for around this spot but eventually gave up trying to fit it in. The game on the highest difficulty has an absolutely incredible combat system and the level design is brilliant but because of the style of the game I can not add it to my list, it simply doesn't gel with DMC and aside from that on it's own it's fairly lack luster aside from the parts where the style choices make their way into the level design, some cool stuff done with it but it foesn't hit the mark for me. That flaw aside, this game is a really underrated gem and I just know people hating on it aren't bringing out the games amazing combat mechanics and the skill it takes to get high scores on those difficulties, it is super rewarding and I'd recommend anyone who loves the genre and has no allegiance to DMC to try going for the platinum with this game, the second playthrough on the highest difficulty trying to get some of the trophies tied to it, it is one of the most difficult things I've done in gaming and is so worth it for the reward it gives despite the frustrations along the way. It'll show how well the game is designed at it's core. Just a pity about the soft core punk vibe they brought to it and failed to understand why DMC is so cool. In it's defence, DMC 5 almost made the same mistakes ripping out the Catholic background that made DMC4 so memorable along with some pretty modern day European settings that very nearly put the vibe off.
