I've been driving trains, learning how to build a medieval town and killing a bunch of zombies in Bel Air. How about you?

Background: I've never been a fan of the original Devil May Cry trilogy. I think they're foundational to what's probably my favorite genre, but as with a lot of foundational games, what came later surpassed them in most aspects.

What I'm doing this break: replaying through the trilogy in release order to see if I still hold the same opinion. I finished DMC1 and I'm halfway through DMC2 RN, and yup, I still hold the same opinion so far. Immense respect for the ideas this trilogy introduced, but I don't care what kind of nostalgia glue fans are huffing, there's a reason even Kamiya and Itsuno moved on from fixed cameras, for example.

They're fun games, but I would rather be replaying Bayonetta, DMC4 or 5, Assault Spy, or even Hi-Fi Rush. I enjoy the breadth and freedom all these descendants offer.
