How this score was computed
The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.
| Component | Positive | Quality (0-100) | Weight (pseudo-reviews) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Press reviews (OpenCritic) | – | 65 | 16 |
| All-time Steam reviews | 93% | 88 | 1000 |
| Metacritic user ratings | – | – | 0 |
| Post-patch Steam reviews (trust-weighted) | 97% | 93 | 158 |
| Calibration prior (typical game) | – | 72 | 50 |

“Despite lazy efforts of Capcom, Devil May Cry HD Collection definitely will please fans of the cult series from PlayStation 2, thanks to the distinctive style, hardcore gameplay and favorite characters in DMC and DMC3.”

“Out of the three games in this collection, Devil May Cry 3 is the only one to stand up to the test of time.”

“This is very much Devil May Cry 1, 2, and 3, with pretty much all the good and bad that came with the original titles.”

“The Devil May Cry HD Collection on PS4 may essentially be a straight port of the PS3 version that released in 2012, but ultimately, that doesn't detract from the overall experience. The original Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 3 still stand strong, and while the second game is easily the weakest of the three, there's still some enjoyment to be had at the very least. If you've already played through the collection on PS3 then the value of this port is undoubtedly diminished, but for everyone else - newcomers included - this is a fine way to get acquainted with Dante.”

“It is nice to have these three games to complete the entire DMC anthology on my shiny new console. I enjoyed revisiting all three games as they are definitely memorable parts of my past.”

“A relatively competent remaster collection but the games are so old now that, without a full remake, newcomers will struggle to understand how they became so beloved.”

“Devil May Cry HD Collection delivers the best, as well as the weakest, game of whole franchise in a single package. Unfortunately, Capcom didn't put in the effort to refresh Dante's stories for the standards of today. It's a shame, these games deserved more attention.”

“If you expected something new from this version, too bad. Except that it now runs in 1080p/60fps, Devil May Cry HD Collection is the exact same compilation it was in 2012. Nothing more was added, the first two episodes feel quite old in terms of gameplay compared to a still fun DMC 3. And that's it: decent for newcomers, useless for those who already know them by heart.”

“It's great that the first three entries of the series are now available on current gen systems, but it's hard to ignore that the Devil May Cry HD Collection is essentially a re-release of a port of decade old games.”

“The Devil May Cry franchise deserves better than another low-effort HD collection. Dante’s Awakening is still a great game that you should play if you haven’t already. However, the second game is terrible and the first game is a little rough due to the awkward camera. The lack of any extra content celebrating this great series is disappointing and makes this collection hard to definitively recommend for new and existing fans alike.”

“The cheap technical improvements in the newest version of the collection are definitely not worth of such a great series. If you own the PS3 Collection don't bother with an upgrade. For newcomers it's still the best entry into the series because of the 1080p/60fps in the gameplay section.”

“The Devil May Cry HD could deliver better performance and an acceptable graphics level rather than transferring the same version of previous generation devices to existing platforms with little change except for 1080p resolution and 60 frames, making collection unworthy experience for those who have already played The game before, but the newcomers will undoubtedly face many problems with the collection within graphics or camera or the level of enemies except the third part”
