History YMMV / DantesInferno

* UnfortunateImplications: Besides the homophobic content, Beatrice, who pretty much saves Dante in the original poem (granted, not in a very active way, [[FairForItsDay but still...]]). Here she is a damsel in distress. On other words, a game made in the 2000's manages to be more sexist than a poem written in medieval times!

* CompleteMonster: Lucifer, unsurprisingly.

* KarmaHoudini: The game pretty much illustrates the extremes in which this trope is averted. A certain man whom [[spoiler: killed Beatrice]], for example?

** This may not be that bad, as some speculate Dante's mentor is actually in Hell for being a pedophile (a ''slightly'' more reasonable excuse to place someone in Hell). Either way though, there will be dissonance. If you believe the FM is in Hell for being gay then you'll at least have [[ValuesResonance a nice Achievement to be gained by sending him to Heaven via absolution]]. If you believe the FM is in Hell for pederasty, then getting an Achievement for sending him to Heaven may feel like a slap to the face.

** Virgil claims that the sinners are wallowing in mud for all eternity. But given the context the level, ''that's not mud.''

* DisappointingLastLevel: Many reviewers have praised the game's first several levels, but have stated that the later levels fall into this.

* RatedMForMoney: Somewhat subverted as this was meant to be a realistic depictions of what hell is said to be like. Which would be horrifying and filled with nudity( especially in lust) and violence, not to mention people only go there for one reason. While it did change the basic story of what the book was about, it was pretty faithful to its core message of redemption and ends on a peaceful note.

* KarmaHoudini: The game pretty much illustrates the extremes in which this tropes is averted. A certain man whom [[spoiler: killed Beatrice]], for example?

* DesignatedVillain: The first three bosses. Death is... well, [[TheGrimReaper Death]], Charon is just there to move souls, and King Minos only sorts the souls into the proper circles. Not terribly glaring, though; No one likes Death when he visits, the other two "work" for Hell regardless, and all three [[KnightTemplar got in Dante's way]].

* AdaptationDecay: Dante scholars and fans of the Commedia were...unamused by the many liberties the game took. But at least it featured the Carey translation.

** The fully charged blast of the cross comes to mind. It is very powerful, has a long range and area of effect, breaks all defenses and knocks the enemy over. The only downside is of course a charge-time which isn't very long though. Single enemys (even some bosses) can just be spammed to death by it and even groups can be reduced to dust pretty quickly if you let them hug together on a tight area.

* {{Narm}}: A damned woman heard in Greed:
-->'''Oooooooooo..... I had it aaaaaaallll......!!!!'''
** Also the reason Dante is confused why things suck for him.
-->'''BUT THE BISHOP ASSURED US...!'''
** "SNIFF AGAIN!"
** "You said we'd be together....forever.." Anthony's last words to Cleopatra.
* NauseaFuel: Gluttony. Nothing quite as disturbing as walking though a giant digestive system. Or, for that matter, the Gluttons themselves explosively shitting excrement on you.

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: A ''lot'' of things in this game may count as this, like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGvjueo_Mlg this game's version of Cerberus]] for example.

* HellIsThatNoise: Some of the background music is eerily reminiscent of the theme music from the [[TheLegendOfZelda Shadow Temple]].

* SoOkayItsAverage: The main line the reviewers are taking is that it's a very competently-executed ''GodOfWar'' clone -- [[TheyCopiedItSoItSucks but still, ultimately, a]] ''[[TheyCopiedItSoItSucks God Of War]]'' [[TheyCopiedItSoItSucks clone]].

* GodIsEvil: [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment Without getting into religious debates]], it's entirely possible to feel really sorry for all the damned souls you come across, which in turn makes it easy to wonder if the punishments they're undergoing are really justified, considering who built the place.

* XenSyndrome: Many reviewers have praised the game's first several levels, but have stated that the later levels fall into this.

* KarmaHoudini: The game pretty much illustrates the extremes in which this tropes is averted. A certain man whom [[spoiler: killed Beatrice]]], for example?
