    It is very, VERY rare that a game is able to out shine it's predecessors, especially a game like DMC which has a game base spanning back to the PS2 days, but this in my opinion is the best in the series so far. The combat is slick, the story is great, Dante is exactly how you expect Dante to be years after DMC 3/4, there is just no aspect of the game that hasn't been improved on.

    Capcom are doing a great job at the moment with both their remakes (Resi 2) and new games (this). The game is very well optimised on PC, no signs of a generic "PC port" and actually feels like they put in effort in for the PC community.

    Fans of the series will feel right at home, new players may be a little confused at first, but I am sure YouTube by now has a "everything you need to know before playing DMC5" or something to catch you right up.

    All in all I highly recommend the game to anyone who is a fan of the genre, this is definitely going to be a GOTY contender for 2019.    … Expand

    Back in 2002 when i finally got my PS2 (took a while to save up money as a 13/14 year old) Devil May Cry was first game i got for it, been psyched about it for a year and was one of the main motivators for me to get a PS2 in the first place.
    As i suspected when i finally played it DMC was everything i hoped for, and it instantly skyrocketed to the top of my favorite games list.

    As i suspected when i finally played it DMC was everything i hoped for, and it instantly skyrocketed to the top of my favorite games list.
    Bar DMC2 which was a "slight" disappointment, DMC games always held a special place in my mind.
    DMC reboot wasn't a bad game, on the contrary it was pretty good, alas it was not what fans wanted and what we waited for.
    I'm glad to say DMC5 is a return to form for Capcom and for DMC franchise, all the main characters are back with a vengeance, and i can honestly say that the game is everything i've been hoping for from a new main line DMC sequel.

    Graphics 10/10

    Not much to say here, RE engine looks incredible, game seems well optimized, and it ran great on my system (Ryzen 2600X, 16GB RAM, GTX 1080, at 3440x1440), only small gripe i had was that game doesn't support ultra-wide (atm) so i had 2 grey bars on the sides of the monitor.

    Audio: 9/10

    OST is as expected great, game's main anthem Devil Trigger, which is also Nero's battle music is a departure from usual heavy metal songs. But it fits Nero much better imho.
    Rest of the soundtrack especially Dante's battle theme are more in line with older OSTs.
    DMC3 OST still stands as best in the series for me, 5 isn't far tho.
    Played with English dub, and voice actors did great work, not much else to say, there are some scenes where lip sync doesn't sync very well, but luckily it doesn't detract much from game, and it's doesn't happen very often.

    Gameplay 10/10

    Nailed it, and nailed it so much.
    Everything just "feels" right, way Nero and Dante control is just like i remember from old games, and any veterans returning should feel right at home in DMC5.
    V is a fresh take on combat in DMC where he doesn't fight directly, Instead you control his "pets".
    It's weird at the start but you get used to it, altho i quickly found a way to cheat my way to SSS with him and it's rather easy to pull off.

    Story 9/10

    I'm rating it within "DMC sphere" of storytelling, anyone who played older DMCs knows that DMC story can be weird to say the least, like a fun B movie.
    And that's fine, DMC never took itself very seriously and DMC5 is no exception.
    If you are new just relax don't engage your brain too much and enjoy the ride.

    Overall I loved every second of new DMC, I'm gonna play higher difficulties now, and hunt some achievements.
    And here's hoping Capcom makes a proper DMC6 in a couple years and we don't have to wait 10+ years for a new mainline DMC again.    … Expand

    that's what the fans wanted in 2013, not the stupid restart of the series. A great combat system, not a chopped version like in DmC, and a great soundtrack, not like in a stupid restart. pull my devil trigger bite into memory for a long time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing game. Gorgeous graphics, exciting OST, fluid combat mechanics and kind of unlimited(?) combo potentials. Have always been a fan of the DMC series. Although I am not very skillful, I always enjoy spending time hack and slash my way to infinite devil trigger mode, and for all achievements in later games in the series. The reason I marked it down by 1 is because I am a little bit unsatisfied with the weapons/combat, characters and story. Despite all the complains in the below, I am still gonna go for DMC6 in the future lolololol.

    Weapons/Combat(Nero):
    Interesting twist with the devil breakers. Is it just me or is the game constantly giving out mega busters? I had like 8 of them in stock after one play through while the others have like 2-3. I broke devil breakers from time to time for more stylish points but it seems to me that capcom is dishing out a lot of mega busters for me .... Anyway, the skill set of Nero did not change much and I still suck at Max act/Exceed. Just Nero being Nero.

    Weapons/combat(Dante):
    I have always loved seeing Dante showing off/trying out his newly obtained weapon. In DMC5, 2 new melee weapons? Come on. Nunchuck is not even that new coz it appeared in DMC3. I like the Bruce Lee sound Dante is making tho. The motorbike is a slow (grinding?) weapon. Slow weapon is just not my type. It's a hack and slash game. What do you expect? If it is a slow weapon, I would like it to be impactful like the gauntlets. Not the mention the Rebellion/Sparda evolved into Devil Sword Dante fked up the Sowrdmaster move set. Of course it is stronger this way, I can land extra hits with O/B while doing my normal combos. But the home run move is gone which made me sad. Luckily I can change back to Rebellion after endgame.
    For ranged weapons, only the usual guns without weird **** like Pandora's box? That just made me reluctant to upgrade Gunslinger. Maybe because Pandora's box was too OP? But I do think Dr. Faust
    is a nice idea for players to farm red orbs more easily.
    And I think Royalguard is the most OP style now, just because of the royal revenge. Vergil dodges your SM combo but got wrecked by RG.

    Weapons/combat(V):
    For me, this is the most boring character. Interesting idea of adding different play style. Need to hold the controller in a weird way for micromanaging Shadow and Griffin, lock on and read a book from afar. Not the most comforting gaming experience for my right hand. Going in for last hits occasionally. Can easily get high stylish points compare with other 2 characters coz low risk of being hit. The battles are so far away that I can't really feel it. Playing as V is like a subject that you are doing well naturally but you have no interest in it.

    Characters:
    DMC series has been trying to make characters looks badass. Mostly by main characters taunting bosses before boss fights, inhuman/stylish combats moves against enemies during cut scenes, etc. But I think DMC5 has gone a bit too much for over emphasizing "coolness" in places where characters could be acting normally. The whole poetry reading from V is getting on my nerves. I don't know whether there is a deeper meaning to this but I certainly think he is more like "acting cool" than "being cool".
    On the other hand, the characters grew old in a way that is not very pleasing. I mean you can see them growing from teens/young adults in DMC3 to mature adults in DMC4, especially Dante, Vergil and Lady. In DMC5, Dante went from playful adult to a drunk street beggar look. Vergil was a handsome man (no homo) and now he is like a grumpy, gloomy bastard. I guess Lady is kinda alright. Trish was hot from DMC1-4 but she is looking like an aunt right now.... And where the fk is Kyrie? Not in a single fking cut scene? Only voice during phone calls? What the fk is wrong with you game designers? Budget cut of sth? And why is Nico suddenly popping up out of nowhere?

    Story:
    Didn't explain how Vergil got back from hell. How the hell did Vergil had a son Nero? Like Dante said, it's kinda expected when Nero and Yamato reacted in DMC4. But no explanations of what was going on in hell with Vergil? Did he fked a succubus or sth so Nero is like 75% demon and stronger than him? Nero just awaken his potential right before final boss fight with will power? Not getting beaten up and end up in a bad situation with sword pierces through chest? So the "apple" just fixed Vergil? He was like crippling and falling apart, he separated himself, causing big ass troubles, ate an apple, recombine, then he is good to go. What happens to the supreme power from apple that made Mundus the king of hell? All in all, Vergil just life stealing from normal humans for healing? And Dante decided to forgive him at the end because Vergil is not taking over the world? Not that I really mind the somewhat typical/lame story lines and endings from all DMC games. I am just here for some hack and slash. But there are just a lot of things unexplained.    … Expand

Newbies will feel at home. There's even a "The Void" practice zone whenever you learn a new move (you can even try out all the moves before you decide on the upgrade for your character, so it is accessible between missions and when you get upgrades). Said another way, you won't be prone to forget a huge list of combos. It is as incremental as you want it to be. If your're new to the series, you get new moves as you progress in the game. Inside the gameplay, even beginners will soon see how to mix moves together. This makes the game an absolute joy to play.

    Speaking of which, the combat system is great. There are different settings for beginners to advanced players. Some settings even let the game do combos for you if you physically can't do the combinations of button presses. I do find turning around or changing direction a bit jerky, but I guess they wanted the controls to be very responsive rather than have smooth transitions during quick change of directions. This only happens when you completely change direction, so no big deal.

    There are a lot of cutscenes. So if you're not a fan of that, it may be annoying. But that's always been a staple of DMC games. The bosses are interesting. They're not just boss #1, #2, etc. Well, at least the ones I've seen so far. The characters are of course very dismissive of any opponent they defeat because that's their shtick.

    As others have said, story is simple and yet keeps you intrigued. I do like the various characters and personalities. This part is extremely well done. Overall, it's fairly linear. There are secret areas and secret mission that you should try to find throughout though.

    The games runs very smoothly on 1440p with everything maxed out. Then again, I have 1800X + 1080Ti. The game does not fill ultra widescreen (3440x1440). You just get black bars on the side. Note that it does widescreen just fine. Having said that, I'm reading there is an unofficial ultrawide fix available that I'm gonna try right now.

    Can't recommend this game enough!    … Expand

The story is kinda campy, over the top and totally capcom,but it's still a great time. Voice acting is pretty good, and the performance is great, running on 120+ fps on older hardware. However, the camera needs more work. Devil may cry 4 had multiple camera modes and i'd like to see a return of those. No 21:9 or arbitrary resolution support. Some more graphical options would be really appreciated too. The coop sections are really cool but only 2 missions really use that feature and it's impossible to train coop combos reliably. More levels would be my priority after Bloody Palace and more playable characters.

    There's no cancerous walking segment or tons of cutscenes to screw your pace over BUT i would like some missions to have faster checkpoints and reload times. Mission 19 and 20 shouldn't have a checkpoint option. And it shouldn't have the cutscene replay if you select restart mission. Other stuff also appreciated would be native PS4 Controller support on PC, like Yakuza has so far. I would also like the void to be a bit more refined. i would recommend the team to look at trainers available for previous games to see what players really want to use.

    One huge bug that has cropped up is that force quits or game crashes corrupts and deletes your saves, including all your golden orbs from logins and stylish appraisals. This is a huge bug that made me replay the campaign 2 more times. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Capcom, you've outdone yourselves. Ok first off, this is a TRUE sequel and it isn't bad like a certain reboot, looking at you Ninja Theory.

    Well jokes aside, this is one of, if not the, best entry in the Devil May Cry series. The story is excellent, characters just feel right, the combat system is smooth. There really isn't much to complain on this game. The only thing I personally would nitpick on is Vergil's facial structure, he looks a little derpy and the dubstep music. But even so, this is not just a game, it feels like true fan-service from Capcom. The dubstep music is only used for combat with Nero, BUT if you feel like you want an old soundtrack from the older dmc games, then you can do just that.

    Devil May Cry 5 offers a new way to play Nero with a mechanical arm he loses early on in the game and at first i wasn't convinced but during mid-game i was kind of digging it to be honest. All the arms have different abilities and ultimates and varies the gameplay.

    At first I was a bit concerned about how Capcom was going to handle the playable characters in a way that feels natural, but they happily surprised me.

    Verdict & TL-DR:

    Graphics: 10/10
    Gameplay: 9,5/10
    Story: 10/10
    Characters: 9/10
    Music: 9/10

    This is the long awaited and theorized DMC game that all the fans have gotten and it lived up to the hype, Graphics are the best they've ever been in DMC without even having a big impact on performance all thanks to the RE Engine. Gameplay was even better that I thought it would be, the story was fantastic, the characters felt right and although i didn't like the dubstep battle music, there was an option to change that and the soundtracks were epic.

    Gameplay is just as brilliant I have never played earlier instalments.
    players get to play as three characters: Nero, V and of course Dante. Each of them has their own unique powers i like to play v the most myself.

    it is amazing, i really enjoyed it 9/10.

    As A devil may cry fan I absolutely love this game. It's one of those guilty pleasures that makes you want to keep playing ,and go for that SSS rating. The graphics are great, the soundtrack is good, and the combat is AMAZING. if you want a good hack and slash game with the absolute best combat around this is your game.

    The soundtrack departs a bit from the metal we're used to from 1-3, and adds a bit more of a pop-ish tone, which caught me off guard but does ultimately work and ends up making it very catchy.

    5 improves GREATLY upon 4 by restoring Dante and the Sparda family story to the forefront of the main plot, and ironed out a lot of my major gripes about Nero as a character, namely his somewhat whiney and borderline angsty personality. He seems to get a lot more close to how Dante was in DMC3, though not quite as flippant, which is fine, he is his own character.

    Like with every DMC proper title this game is easy to learn but difficult to master. The first two difficulties are fine for beginners and/or casual play, then the more experienced/skilled can enjoy more challenge with the later difficulties, which really do start living up to their names (Dante must Die/Hell and Hell).

    The multiplayer element, which is totally new to the series with this title, is thankfully not in your face. There's fairly minimal interaction with other players, you may see them from across the level, or in one particular mission very briefly fight alongside them, or you can turn this feature off entirely if you just want a pure solo experience. Though you will miss out on some chances for gold orbs if you do that, which can be useful.

    My only complaint is a personal one and really has no impact on the value of the game, so I won't reflect it in my score. My one complaint is that one particular character does not get enough screen/story time for my liking. The way he was used was executed well and is properly paced for the story, but I just didn't get enough of him. Hopefully more will be added as the game ages, maybe DLC including this character if 5 follows any of previous game trends. *fingers crossed*    … Expand

    Awesome music, beautiful graphics, a lot of funny moments, interesting story line, great optimization, addictive gameplay(especially as Dante), each character has his own style, etc. But these levels inside the tree are very boring, as all you can see is a lot of red/black color, no fascinating views, but there are a lot in the city.

    + The game is linear but has several hidden areas to explore.

    Things that made me lower the rating:

    - The game camera sometimes hides the character behind some obstacle and this breaks the fluidity of combat.

    - The deluxe version of the game has additional content that also changes in gameplay (and changes a lot).

    - In RE2 remake Capcom made available free DLCs but in Devil May Cry 5 Capcom recalled their times of stinginess with completely unnecessary but not mandatory microtransactions, the purpose of which is buy orbes to get the skills faster or revive for example.    … Expand

    Hands down one of the best games out there. With smaller budget than most AAA games, but the graphics, storyline, environmental details and character to NPC interaction/combat is on point. Having a company such as capcom completely putting big companies such as ubisoft and Ea to shame. It's definitely a must try. 10/10 would suggest

    Character Design looks also weird in my opinion, DMC has more of an anime look from DMC 1-4, now he is a 45 year old realistic man.
    Combat is great but also pretty much the same as in DMC4 and unlocking Air Hike and enemy step for the 100 time is kinda boring.

DMC5 is such an amazing game with such a great story, beautiful graphics, awesome characters and fun gameplay.

Man you have to pick it up whenever you get the chance. It's easily worth your money.

    Dmc 5 is the best in the entire franchise in my opinion. The art style is quite unique and the combat use all the good things that make so great DMC...
    You can use 3 characters each one with unquiet move stets and also you can upgrade in the "skills tree" that the game have. May be the ost is not the best but... works.

    Another RE Engine game from Capcom, and another yet again visual treat for us PC gamers, no doubt.

    First off, I have to say that I didn't play, back in the day, the original DMC games, didn't have a console and I only got to play DMC 4 on my PC when it came out, but didn't finish it (I needed a better PC back then, the game looked amazing on DX10 and all new'ish stuff and tech from    Another RE Engine game from Capcom, and another yet again visual treat for us PC gamers, no doubt.

    First off, I have to say that I didn't play, back in the day, the original DMC games, didn't have a console and I only got to play DMC 4 on my PC when it came out, but didn't finish it (I needed a better PC back then, the game looked amazing on DX10 and all new'ish stuff and tech from those days, but I didn't have enough power to enjoy it fully).

    I did play DmC, the reboot, and I didn't felt it was compelling enough to play a lot more than I did, as an action hack and slash game it did its job, yeah, quite decently, although the rest of the game, coming from my limited knowledge of the DMC lore...I didn't feel it so I can only imagine that the proper DMC fans didn't, either.

    But well, I do enjoy these type of games with really good character based combat that is not just mashing buttons nonstop, and has some thought behind it. And man, does DMC 5 has that and the some more, yeah, it does. This game's combat is Amazing, with a capital A indeed. The more you play, the deepest you go into tapping your long dwelling skills dormant inside, that's for sure, there's just so much stuff to do, combine, and improvise, and all of this in split of a second, fast, action packed moments. Yeah, I like games that put my reflexes to the test, that's for sure, as an old school shooter player, that's my jam for sure, so when it comes to action combat games like this, I feel at home here and I can feel my skills and understanding of the game's mechanics growing more and more every moment. That's when you know you're playing a great game right there, among other things.

    On the PC settings / "port" department well, it's the RE Engine, it's incredible what this engine can do, with its Physically Based Rendering (PBR), everything looks quite realistic and the character models, specially, are incredible, more so in cut scenes of course.

    My only small complaint about the PC version is that they implemented mouse and keyboard support, but it feels incomplete...well because it is. Moving the camera with the mouse is well done, I'd say even better than with a gamepad, of course, it's a mouse, it provides more freedom, but when it comes to keyboard controls...meh, some keys cannot be used, like TAB or Left Shift, or most of the right hand side part of the keyboard (oh yeah, I said right hand side...because I'm left handed, and I use that area a LOT). So, being left handed it's quite difficult to use any decent setup, because only the arrow keys can be mapped, not any surrounding keys, and not the Numpad, which according to the keymap menu....it's like it doesn't even exist. That feels poorly done, and I was expecting better coming from the nice PC controls RE 2 Remake has, or even RE 7. Maybe a patch could improve this, but I'm just playing with my trusty Dualshock 4, which is good enough of course.

    Also, it feels like the PC version is being held back a little bit by console parity, since many of the graphic settings (those set to "Variable") will only be active in cut scenes, and not in the actual gameplay. This makes the game run even better than RE 2 or 7, sure, but was it really necessary on the PC? I don't think so, and it should've been an OPTION for the player to choose from. Hopefully a patch can make this right too, so we can have an even better looking experience which, don't get me wrong, it already looks incredible, and the fluidity of the combat and the game in general really shows.

    All in all...another great hit by Capcom, this is just amazing how right after the GOTY contender that was RE 2 back in January, we now get another one here with DMC 5. Capcom is on a roll here, and I say keep 'em coming!! We need more Capcom franchises brought back on the RE Engine, this has so much potential, for any platform be it console or PC.

    Very, very solid 9/10, doesn't get the perfect score only because the poor mouse and keyboard controls: yes, this is better with a gamepad, that doesn't mean a PC game should have sub par options for the other input method, it could've been better, but well, it's just that, nothing more.

    1- RE Engine looks good
    2- It's more story driven and that is popular at the moment
    3- You can play the entire thing using the same 3 combos and get S ratings

    DMC 4 SE is more well paced, has more level variety, you don't fight the same boss 4 times, the dante fight is actually intense instead of each taking turns doing anime transformations into devilman crybaby, the foundations for something better is there, combos are more fluid and the new mechanics could add some very cool stuff but no, the game makes swordmaster useless with the rebellion and after you see under the flashy and pretty colors there is a putrid garbage that reeks of DMC 2, stupid AI that feels like they just move at your general direction and do random moves, sometimes struggling to hit you while you're stationary, fluid combos that serve no purpose since enemies can be downed by whatever, barely any challenge after you slightly upgrade and even if you die, the game gives you free gold orbs, checkpoints and you can buy a revive on the spot.

    And **** me for not liking this game amirite? i'm just a grumpy old timer that can't enjoy anything past the ps2, now you can go back to rating games due to public opinion, the company behing it and flashyness, go find some excuse to not refund cyberpunk 2077 or memes to hate on EA even though their latest games were great, when you're disappointed because DMC 6 continued the downgrade that was DMC 5 i'll be here to say "i told you so" just so i'll be ignored again.    … Expand

    Devil May Cry 5 parece ser una adición casi perfecta a la franquicia DMC con mucho combate fluido y técnico, una historia intensa y visuales absolutamente hermosos. Para los fans de la saga Devil May Cry o alguien nuevo en la franquicia e incluso en el género, vale la totalmente la pena y destruir algunos demonios.

    Why didn't I play any of the older games before ? I always heard that Devil May Cry was kind of a joke in the gaming community with the games being too anime, over the top, difficult and apparently some of the ones before this, pretty bad.

Easy to pick up and play for all types of people. Great job capcom, I hope you revamp all of your franchises in the same way.… Expand

    Easily one of the best games released in the last couple of years.

    The absolute pinnacle of this esteemed franchise and genre as a whole- If you don't like this game you might as well say you don't like the genre itself since it's the best it's gonna get.

    From gameplay to story everything is just fantastic.

    Now to the review:
    Fantastic graphics and very smooth and stable gameplay I don't know how Capcom does it. They deliver very good graphics yet does not require the most high end PC to run smooth.
    Everything beautiful in this game from the combat to the design to the main menu to the soundtracks. Lots of customization to your character and you can even customize the music that are going to be played in certain situation how cool is that.

    The negatives about this game is that there are not much to its world design nor atmosphere variations. I wish the chapters were more different in design and had more variety like different weather and maybe forests etc. Also the game is super liner just straight forward. It could have done it better with a bit bigger areas to walk around and explore a bit.

    All in all WELL DONE! Waiting for more games from you Capcom hope you keep the quality gaming alive!    … Expand

    DMC5 is a unapologetic love letter to action games that marks a return of the classic action genre franchise to the spotlight, delivering a thrilling, action packed and emotional sequel to the franchise many thought was doomed to ostracism.

    Devil May Cry has always been a franchise plagued by mismanagement with as many ups such as DMC3 and DMC1 and downs like DMC4 and DMC2, the root of the problem being Capcoms troubling management issues such as Hideaki Itsuno having to help salvage DMC2 four months before release, DMC4 terrible asset flips to overshadow yet another deadline issues all while having no concrete idea of the future plans for the franchise that after DMC1 could have reached for the skies and yet came to a failed reboot in 2013.

    None of the issues above plagues DMC5 which makes it the first Devil may cry game in decades to have a clear concise, emotional story with hilarious scenes, over the top action, emotional cutscenes all while still keeping the flamboyish corky style that made the series popular and iconic, all of this coupled with an incredible throwback gameplay that builds upon DMC4 and DMC3 while still inovating and adding tons of gameplay dynamics makes DMC5 the Ultimate Devil May Cry experience and yet another Capcom sucess in recent years    … Expand

    The controls are just beautiful, pretty responsive, and all combos/special moves are really satisfying to pull off, i even thought that playing with keyboard felt great (most action games like this leave keyboard as an afterthought and focus on improving controls with normal Playstation, Generic USB or XBOX controllers) and i love the fact that this game has full support for switch pro controller (which in my opinion is one of the best controllers ever made).

    The game runs at a stable 60+ FPS with high settings & 720p on an outdated Intel I5 & a Nvidia GTX 1050, which means almost every current computer can run the game at a stable framerate on lower settings.

    The only things that bring the game down for me are the lack of turbo mode, Denuvo and the fact that we don't play as the new character "V" that much.

    all in all one of the best, if not the best Devil May Cry games.    … Expand

    Devil May Cry 5, while seemingly shallow on the surface, conceals its greatest features and true experience for only the dedicated to discover. The satisfaction of finally overcoming a block in the game that held you back for so long is where the real experience lies, and the game demands that you not be weak of heart to reach it. Put in the time and effort that the developers expect of their fans and you’ll truly be able to reap the rewards and see DMC5 for what it is; a truly off the wall, batshit insane romp through the best the genre has to offer.

    The culmination of the franchise and so much more. Capcom is still putting up the pressure one notch above, with new mechanics, a renewed gameplay, and a replayability that will make you start the game a second time without losing your smile. The story has matured and a good balance has been found with its three destinies that intersect over the course of the missions, until its apocalyptic final. Only big downside in a game that requires precision in its highest difficulty levels: the camera problems and the targeting system.

    Bland location design aside, Devil May Cry 5 is excellent in all other aspects. Deep combat system, charismatic characters, nice graphics, vibrant soundtrack — this is one hell of a crazy-ass meaty slasher.
