10 Controversial Video Games You Must Play In 2022

When Capcom rebooted their beloved and long running Devil May Cry series in 2013, fans revolted. Not only was the entire continuity wiped clean, but so were the characters. Their names were the same, but their looks and personalities were completely different.

Dante, the snow-haired anime bad boy fans had grown so attached to, now looked more like a young Morrissey. They were not interested.

The experiment was considered a massive failure, and Capcom pivoted back to continuing the original series.

However, those of us who did play it found an action game every bit as solid as its predecessors. The vaguely Biblical story was made darker and projected onto a tapestry of US politics of the time, even resulting in a mission where you basically fight a demonic Bill O'Reilly of Fox News.

But now that the fans have gotten what they wanted with Devil May Cry 5, there really is no good reason not to go back and check out the game they derided so much.

Taken as a brief, historical tangent or a "what if?" indie movie-style take on a massive IP, there's very little not to enjoy.
