After Daymare: 1998, another iconic game of the Playstation era is given the indie treatment in the form of a new IP called Devil's Hunt. The few trailers which were released showed nice promises in terms of visuals, and it's true that the game actually looks pretty good. The artists at Layopi Games have done a pretty good use of Unreal Engine 4 when it comes to the different landscapes, but the character models still look pretty dated. The main problem isn't there though, animations are really stiff and the game just isn't fun at all. Even when not comparing it to Devil May Cry 5, it cannot be recommended to the fans of the genre. We don't really mind the tacky storyline and characters, it could even be part of the charm for some, but with such an emphasis on long and chatty cutscenes, the pace of the game suffers a lot and the gameplay sequences even add to that feeling because of how they play. This is a game we would have loved to defend but it unfortunately failed to entertain us in the end due to its many shortcomings, which we believe our videos prove.
Update 2: We've added 3 videos captured with the 7 GB patch we downloaded today in the afternoon. As you'll see compared to the first 3 videos we posted, performance has really improved. That being said, it still crashed on us at the end of our recording session.
