Kind of wish there was a "Maybe" recommendation for these things. This collection is a mixed bag to be completely honest. All the games run amazingly, you do get the silky smooth 60 fps action that you crave, however Devil May Cry 1 and 3 (the best ones) have glaring graphical issues not present in the original PS2 versions. Devil May Cry 1 is missing motion blur, and certain visual effects, and yeah I get it boo motion blur, but the motion blur used in Devil May Cry 1 was used to emphasize certain actions, and cutscenes that relied on the motion blur now look weird and unfinished without it. Devil May Cry 2 is fine. Devil May Cry 3 is okay for the most part, however the most noticeable issue is that the transparency on hair and a few other objects is completely messed up, and it just makes close up shots look really bad. For a "Definitive HD Release" it fumbled in the one place it shouldn't have and as a result made PS2 games look worse than they originally did. I would say don't buy this, but not everyone has a PS2 to play the original versions of these games, and this is the most accessible version of these games. Luckily this is the PC version and most of the issues related to textures in Devil May Cry 3 have fan made fixes for them and can be easily applied, however, a fan patch to restore the original graphical effects in Devil May Cry 1 does not currently exist, and I doubt NeoBards or Capcom are going to do anything about it seeing as these issues are present on the recent Switch releases.
However, despite the games looking worse than they did on PS2, they still play great, and you don't have to mod the game to make it work on PC like you do with the stand alone Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition. So I guess by those merits it's a functional port, but it could have been better.
