    I am impressed by the story it has a lot of elements from the old games they bring fourth and built on it doesn't feel like it's just using the old mechanics to make something the same it feels like a springboard to something new and I really liked it and the game make me feel a lot about the characters in The later half.

    The game looks beautiful, but sadly they go into a giant tree in the later half of the game and the colors gets a bit borrowing and especially Dante's jackets. It is not a lot red. It's more like a really dark red which is just sad.    … Expand

    "DMC is back!" When I first heard those coming out of Hideaki Itsuno I knew for certain that the king of hack and slash games was returning with a bang. The amazing combat and action that this gaming series is famous for is back and better than ever.

    DMC 5 is pure action. Although story has some revealing moment it is rather trivial story and nothing to think twice about. Characters are likable and overall are great, game didnt provide much space to get "intimate" feeling to them, so what happens to them is not much emotional, its rather cinema pop corn experience.

Nevertheless I am pretty sure fot those, who played another DMC games will have different feelings and enjoyment.

    Game is basically about searching and using combination of fighting techniques. If combos are successfully delivered, you are rewarded with more bonus points and those points u spent later to unlock more fighting techniques. And thats whole point of game, searching for best combo.

    Its console type of game and it is fast, and super fan. I was lacking some kind of atmosphere, but its more in fun and entertainment field than immersive type of game.

    In the beginning its rather slower if you as me never played game like that so its 8/10, but later game is 9/10. If you know you like those type of games, you can go even for 10, as it has replay value and game is counting on rising difficulty for next playthrough.

    Its really good game and if you never played game like, give a try, its really good.

    DMC5 has recently gained popularity because of it's amazing soundtracks that became a classic when it comes to video game scores. This is also how I found myself interested in a game.

I haven't played previous titles. I always knew of the series but it never caught my attention before as it was a game marketed for east market with a majority of fans coming from that region. I am amazed by this game even though I haven't been with the series for very long. That being said to understand a lot of things happening within the story it is better to know what happend in previous parts as the story of 5 builds of off them directly. That however didn't deminish my enjoyment of the gameplay which is absolutely fantastic. Different characters have extremly unique kits which completely change how you play. They are however very hard to master but if you do manage that you'll be rewarded with insanely satisfying combat that. The game is best described as easy to learn, hard to master and I think it makes it really good for both casual players who can just enjoy the simple combos and the story and people who want to put the time in and really learn how to play the game at it's highest level of skill. The writing is very cartoonish. All characters act very cheesy and while it may be strange to some in my opinion it very much fits the game and sidetracks the story which is very basic. Because the focus is on characters and their interactions the game has many memorable moments and honestly this game really made me laugh in certain moments. It is simply genius and I can't stand how great DMC5 in all of it's aspects. I think the game is awesome and definitely worth a try at least but it is a game made for a specific audience therefore I can totally see why someone wouldn't like it as much as I did. It's not for everyone but for the people which it works it is a great game worth playing through it at least once.… Expand

Other than this installment, I've only played the first game in the series. As such, the story was very confusing. Still, near the end, when a certain character is reintroduced, the story won me over and its conclusion actually moved me. Early on, the scenes are so chaotic and disorienting, that I found them hard to sit through, but once Dante is involved, the story becomes somewhat more investing. He's the cocky bastard I'm familiar with and it's a breath of fresh air when his glorious smugness hits the screen. Nero was fine, but V was cringey. I kinda get that's the point, but even playing as V was tedious. The biggest shortcoming of its narrative structure, which leaps forward and backward in time, is that it was hard to judge how far into the game I actually was. There were many moments earlier in the game where I thought it was already nearing its end and, at the literal end of the game, I thought there was still a final act waiting. All the pieces for an outrageous climax were set, but then the credits rolled. It's a surprisingly wholesome ending, but it feels somewhat incomplete.

    As far as gameplay is concerned, I think it's good but there are lots of shortcomings that I have gripes with. Firstly, the good; the character variety is cool— it keeps the combat from becoming too repetitive. I hated playing as V, but I appreciate the effort that went into creating and balancing him. Regardless, whenever there was the option I'd always choose Dante, then Nero if Dante wasn't available. My biggest issue was with dodging. It's really annoying that you have to hold RB/R1 and then press A/X to dodge. Even when you think you're doing it, sometimes your character will end up jumping instead because you're not moving the toggle-stick in the correct direction. Another reason I preferred playing as Dante is because one of his Styles allows you to dash around freely with the push of a single button, instead of multiple.

    The next biggest shortcoming was the abundance of cutscenes interrupting the flow of gameplay. Then there are also the frequent load screens, but the game's beautiful graphics are worth it. The only time the load screens were cumbersome was whenever I wanted to go to the Customization Shop. I get the enticement of seeing Nico lounging about, but I honestly would have preferred a simple menu screen so I could get back to the game faster.    … Expand

    卡普空的动作质量首先就是有保障的，目前一个周目下来爽就完事了，而且动作系统还有很多可以深度研究的东西，这方面以后再去练习。剧情一般，游戏其他方面也不突出，应该全部的亮点只有动作系统了，算是相当看人偏好吧

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In many ways this game perfects what is great about DMC but it also takes a few steps back in some areas.

    The graphics has obviously received a technical boost since DMC4. The art style has changed noticeably as well. While I think I prefer the more stylized look of earlier games, the more realistic look did not bother me.

    This time around Dante & Nero has a huge arsenal of fun moves to explore. The new arm system adds a whole new dimension to Nero whom I found a tad lacking in the previous instalment, then of course the big surprise at the end further expands his capabilities.

    Dante as usual have several styles, devil arms and guns at his disposal making for a seemingly endless possibilities of combinations.

    V on the other hand contrasts the other two with a playstyle that conflicts with what makes DMC a fun brawler. Sadly for me, it was always a downer when a mission was "wasted" on him.

    The environments started out very detailed and immersive while running around the city. As the game progressed and you ventured through ruins and the tree it became visibly less polished and more repetitive. I found the areas from earlier installments much more memorable and iconic compared to the new ones.

    The bosses are ranging from okay to good. The most fun ones are were you are constantly engaged in fast close combat(ex: Cavaliere Angelo) while others have a repetitive gimmick to them(ex: Gilgamesh). We've yet seen a really solid boss fight since Credo(DMC4).

    Lastly, I am a bit disappointed with Vergil taking the big baddie throne once more. We already did that and we did it better in DMC3.

    Despite its shortcoming it's a really fun game, especially when you are battling(or styling on) hordes of demons!    … Expand

    This is one of the best Devil may cry games, comparable only with Devil may cry 3. It features 3 characters wich you can use to play and an additional 5$ DLC if you want to play as Vergil. Every character is really enjoyable and fun. The story is really great. The worst thing about this game is one of the characters, V which isn't really fun to play in my opinion.

    Devil May Cry 5 absolutely oozes style in everything it does. And that is saying something in a series that has always been about stylish combat and over the top action sequences.

    All the playable characters were super fun and had unique playstyles. V is the only new playable character and his playstyle is very different from anything we have seen in the series. Surprisingly, I had a ton of fun playing him although I initially expected him to be boring due to his no hands-on fighting style.    … 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.
