As Reference (Metacritic Scores):

Ninja Gaiden Black: 94
Bayonetta: 90
Bayonetta 2: 91
NiOh: 88
BloodBorne: 92

Challenging games have never stopped reviewers from giving out high scores in the past.

DMC games are challenging but usually give casual players enough options and means to get through the game and have a lot of fun. Its not like this is La Mulana or anything where you gotta work just to advance a tiny bit.

The GOTY is here ladies and gents. Holy shit I just stopped playing and it's middle of the night where I live, and I... didn't even realize.

Anyway, BEST. DANTE. EVER.

Here's my professional 'complexity' chart:

Not US
Considering how the preview coverage for this game has been close to universally positive, I can't see any outcome other than high praise from the majority of outlets.

I feel like people are overestimating the skill floor for these games.

More like underestimating, lol.

Anyway, I've just finished my review. Technically, it's already 06.03. over here, but we still have to wait a few hours. Tomorrow's gonna be fun ;)

Review embargo lifts at 8:00am Pacific Time tomorrow. In about 14 hours from now.

I now you're in Capcom, but are you 100% sure? I'm pretty sure I was told it's 8:00am GMT, and I've been scrambling to finish the review till now, lol.

Damn you already got the game?

Do you know if there's an option to completely turn off all of the HUD like in the launch trailer gameplay footage? The game looks super clean without all of the health bars and text cluttering the screen. Hoping there's an option to turn the HUD off like in RE2

Anyone who does below an 8.5 is going to be eaten alive. DMC fanbase is a true demon.

I just hope you can go back and replay chapters with any character after you beat the game.

I think 85-90 is a safe bet, but I'd love to see 90+. If any pure character action game is going to crack the 90s it's this one; those amazing RE Engine production values will take it a long way.

Sekiro seems a lot more stealth-focused from what I've seen, with that Souls-style interlocking world design. When I say 'pure' character action I'm talking about your standard DMC/Bayo/etc design, i.e. level based, basically linear corridors that you run down while regularly getting locked into arenas and forced to fight enemies to continue.
