HG writes: "Slashing away at the hordes of Hell with Dante's scythe is as extremely gratifying as doing the same with Kratos. The combat is incredibly polished, and I had no problems connecting with the huge arsenal of attacks available. What makes Dante's Inferno stand apart from the competition is how its moral choice system coincides with its upgrade tree. As Dante's journey takes him through Hell, he will cross paths with historical figures in eternal damnation that he can "Absolve" or "Punish." The same can also happen to enemies Dante can execute with an "Absolve" or "Punish" finishing move. Doing either adds to Dante's holy/unholy experience level. Dante has both a holy and unholy upgrade tree of attacks available which are unlocked with souls that are accrued from the hundreds of demons Dante slays throughout gameplay."
There are good video game protagonists, and there are bad video game protagonists.
I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.
Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.
i had to stop reading after the "blatant misogyny" in the Dantes inferno section.
i actually liked Max haha.
the forspoken chick is missing tho
Grab your katana, and slice your way through this list featuring the best hack and slash games the PlayStation 3 had to offer.
Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.
heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.
I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
Dante's Inferno at 4K 60FPS!
Sad this may never get the sequel it deserves. It's still one of the best GoW clones around.
I would love to revisit my old PS3 games played at a higher framerate and resolution. UC2, TLOU, GOW3, KZ2 & 3, Demon Souls
