I played this game on PS4. While there is already a PC version that is being sold on Steam, it would be lovely to see this compilation on GOG for newcomers to the series.
As a person that had a PS2 but missed many classics of that era, I was a rather late comer to the series when I played this on PS4. DMC1 and DMC3 are really good games that still holds up really well. In particular, DMC3 is a must play if you like action games but don't you dare skip DMC1! DMC1 is also a must play but not necessarily due to its action... just play it.
This compilation entered my life when I was getting bored with the similarity between the games I was playing. So, playing this game was quite refreshing and maybe even saved the joy I get from gaming.
DMC2 on the other hand... offf... it is bad. The moment I started that game, I felt displeased. My whole positive mood from DMC1 was gone until DMC3 restored it. But DMC2 is also short enough to finish it in 2-3 sittings. It is possible to beat DMC2 by only shooting your pistol in most cases (though not all). In fact, I would recommend it so you can get rid of the game faster. Why play properly when the game is so bad that it rewards pistol spamming and punishes you when you want to play it in more proper fashion. This, alongside the terrible story, is the reason why DMC2 is a bad game.
