Dante's Inferno
Dante's Inferno
Dante's Inferno, développé par Visceral Games et édité par Electronic Arts, est sorti le 4 février 2010 sur PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 et PlayStation Portable. Ce jeu d'aventure et de type hack 'n' slash, construit sur le Visceral Engine, s'inspire de la première partie de La Divine Comédie de Dante Alighieri. Il propose une expérience d'action à la troisième personne en un seul joueur, animée à 60 images par seconde, avec des armes évolutives, des combos et des sorts alimentés par la mana, ainsi que la possibilité de punir ou absoudre les âmes des ennemis vaincus. La durée de la campagne principale est estimée à huit heures, contre seize heures et demie pour une approche complétiste, et le score agrégé du titre s'élève à 74,95.
Du côté des retours, la presse a salué un ensemble divertissant malgré un gameplay peu original, Cheat Code Central évoquant huit à dix heures d'action rapide à ne pas négliger et Destructoid jugeant le package particulièrement plaisant. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic ont de leur côté loué le design de l'enfer et des ennemis ou encore la réalisation sonore et la personnalisation, tout en regrettant parfois certains défauts appelant un remake graphique.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« It's about eight to ten hours of pure, fast-paced action no one should look down on, unless you're just not a fan of the genre. With such an appealing story and addictive gameplay, Dante's Inferno's only sin seems to be its shameless similarity to Sony's celebrated franchise. »
« You're not going to find a wholly original gameplay experience with Dante's Inferno, but that doesn't mean it's not a hell of an entertaining package -- it's one that fans of action shouldn't miss. »
« Dante's Inferno is a captivating fight through Hell that any action gamer should partake in. Highly recommended. »
« Dante's Inferno is not an innovator of the action genre, but a game that can entertain until the end credits. The gameplay is solid and the great design is an added value, able alone to raise the level of the production. Ultimately a title not brilliant as Bayonetta, but perfect to be played waiting for the upcoming king Kratos. »
« If you are looking for a mature title that features some of the best action-adventure gameplay on Microsoft’s system look no further than Dante’s Inferno. »
« Playstation gamers will probably turn their noses up at this whilst Xbox followers finally get a chance to play a game like God of War. »
« Dante’s Inferno has taken a bit of flak from the gaming community for borrowing a lot (and I do mean a lot) of gameplay elements from God of War. But when it’s all said and done, Dante’s Inferno is a fun experience. »
« Dante’s Inferno borrows quite some gameplay from other successful franchises, but that doesn’t mean that this game knows exactly how to weave them into a fun and interesting game. The fights are fun and bloody, the enemies and surroundings offer enough variety and its gruesome atmosphere fits the game perfectly. Whoever is looking for a fun action game and doesn’t care about a pint of blood more or less, will want to take a look at Dante’s Inferno. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« 7,8/10 o mundo, Design do inferno, dos inimigos são perfeitos, esse jogo precisa de um remake, com gráficos modernos e principalmente melhorando o maior defeito dele que é a câmera e a repetição na jogabilidade, ainda bem que é curto »
« Excellent game! Very nice sound design, customization, story, and gameplay. I played it on the series x and it looks and plays fantastic. Hack n slash greatness »
« Jogo com enredo fascinante e jogabilidade frenética. Bons tempos da Viceral Games! »
« [SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.] »
« The Best Hack 'n Slash of Xbox 360 era, or at least my favorite of all time. The construction of universe is so rich that made me buy the book "The Divine comedy". Unforgettable Bosses and characters, such as Dante Alighieri, with his complex moral choices that make you love and hate at the same time, with his badass death scyfe and Holy Cross. 10/10 »
« Ce jeu est tout simplement enorme ! Gof like avec un tres bon gameplay, tres bonne histoire et tres jouissif ! Meme en 2025 il reste un incontournable de la ps3 ! »
« Un juegazo enXbox360, es muy parecido a god of war pero sus mecánica,mejoras e historia son muy llamativas me arrepiento deno haberlo jugado por pensar que era una copia de god of war »
« D- (5.3/10) A forgettable God of War knock-off. The story is decent, and a few moments stand out, but the combat and levels feel repetitive and bland. Only worth it if you’re curious about the narrative — otherwise, it’s hard to stay engaged. »
