- Trophy / Achievement support.
- Freely selectable difficulty in some versions. (Though some older bits still retain limitations of the original ports.)
- Limitations / Things that stay “classic”:
These are ports/remasters, not full re‑designs. Some art assets / textures may still show their age. Reddit+1
The first game has simpler mechanics compared to later entries; less variety in combo / style options. Devil May Cry 2 is often considered the weaker one in gameplay design by many fans. Reddit+2Reddit+2
On consoles, the resolution is usually 1080p; on PC you might get higher (depending on your setup). gamexx.vip+24Gamers 官方網站+2

Pros & Cons: Is It Worth Getting?
Pros:
Good way to experience the origins of the Devil May Cry series, especially DMC1 and DMC3 (which many consider classics).
Decent value: three games in one package, especially if offered at sale.
The nostalgia / historical interest is high: you see how the series evolved.
With trophies/achievements, gives extra incentive for completionists.
Cons:
Some parts (especially DMC2) are less well designed, more clunky compared to later games. New players might find DMC2 frustrating.
Visuals are improved but still show their age; expectations need to be set accordingly.
If you already own DMC3 Special Edition or later versions, some content overlaps; might feel redundant.
