    Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition has tons of new mechanics with its new characters. Classic hack and slash gameplay, smooth visuals and great challenges in terms of difficulty.

    A great action game with new characters, but the new version keeps the weaknesses of the original and re-uses a lot of levels.

    Though not as expansive enough to call it a true special edition, Devil May Cry 4 features a lot of fan-favorite additions and an attractive price that makes it well worth double-dipping (or triple-dipping if you originally started on console and moved to PC).

    Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition is a good way to enjoy the last episode of the classic DMC series.

    DMC4SE does not improve the gameplay as much as DmC: Definitive Edition did, it does not offer the spectacle God of War is famous for, but I assure you that in no other game building combos is so much fun. [09/2015, p.42]

    Devil May Cry 4 has not aged that well. Too much backtracking, boring riddles and the dull levels affect the fun overall. The gameplay instead still feels fresh and the action is really cool in 60fps. The new characters in the Special Edition are also really good, but when you play the story with them, they do not appear in the cut-scenes which looks weird. Overall Devil May Cry 4 is still a good game, but if you have played it before, you definitely do not have to buy the Special Edition. The new elements do not affect the game that much.

    While this Special Edition provides slight combat tweaks and additional characters to toy with, there's just not enough mechanical or architectural variation to justify the fluff. As a result, the endless combat rooms and recycled scenarios can be exhausting.

    The original DMC4 had serious problems, Capcom should have patched them at least, but no, they just released 3 characters, that areThe original DMC4 had serious problems, Capcom should have patched them at least, but no, they just released 3 characters, that are unbalanced, with an antialiasing effect for sharper textures with worse performance, same backtracking, same game play problems, for just 40$, good plan Crapcom.

    This special edition is just worthy because Vergil is playable, that´s all.    … Expand
