The collection emphasizes high style ratings based on combat flair, encouraging players to fight with both efficiency and panache.
Graphics and Performance:
Resolution and Frame Rate: All games have been updated to run in Full HD (1920×1080) at 60 frames per second, offering a smoother and more visually pleasing experience than the original releases. Textures and models have been refined, though some aspects might still reflect their age.
Control Support: The games support modern controllers, with recommendations for Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers, enhancing the console-like experience on PC.
Gameplay Mechanics:
DMC 1 introduces basic gameplay mechanics with a focus on perfecting combat style.
DMC 2 adds new weapons and the ability to switch between characters Dante and Lucia, though it’s often critiqued for simplifying some mechanics from the original.
DMC 3 significantly deepens the combat system with style switching, offering multiple approaches to how Dante fights.
Additional Features

Steam Features: Includes trading cards, achievements, and cloud saves, enhancing the PC experience.
Community and Mods: The community has developed mods to further enhance gameplay, graphics, or restore cut content, although these are not officially part of the collection but can be found through community resources.
Reception
The HD Collection has been well-received for bringing these classic titles to the PC with updated visuals and performance, though the reception to “Devil May Cry 2” within the collection remains mixed due to its gameplay changes from the other games.
Steam Deck Compatibility
While not officially rated by Valve for Steam Deck, community feedback suggests it’s playable with minor issues, such as cutscenes not displaying properly, which can be mitigated by alternative viewing methods like YouTube.
