    A very good game and the best DMC game so far. Coop existed in this game so i like it. Best performance, good gameplay, plot may not be perfect as a thought to be but the only thing i super enjoy of this game is the gameplay mechanics and also weapons.

    DMC is Back as we remembered in the previous games, but with new Characters, Combos and Move sets and a New Set of Bosses

    RE Engine really sets this new entry alive with Amazing Graphics and Texture work with both Models and Environment, The game is just so well Optimized with a Smooth Framerate

    CAPCOM IS BACK WOOO!!

    To be honest I'm not a big fan of hack and slash games (even though i played all the DMC's) but damn this game is brutal.

    I've never seen such insane graphics, particles and effects in my entire life, their engine is way over anything else and runs so smooth on PC.

    What I liked the most was the evolution of the gameplay, may be similar to the old but is much more refined. Highlight and evolution from the Rebellion's playability to the Devil Sword Dante.

The family feels is really what made the game stand out to me, along with the amazing music and cut scenes - some of them, like the intro with Nero, are so iconic that they have easily become some of my favorites.

    The game looks gorgeous, the gameplay is really fun, varied and has a nice pacing, the story is straight forward (which is not a bad thing) and the characters are super charismatic and entertaining. The only thing I dislike are the environments, they don't detract from the game but they could have made it perfect.

    Great gameplay, Nice graphics. Excellent sound and music, For adult gamers the story is cheesy and many ridiculous things happen but it was never meant to be a serious game and it's made mostly for teenagers after all. Overall this is a very good game and very polished and you don't need a powerful PC to enjoy it,

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

    Favorite Thing: Three different playable characters was a nice touch. V in particular has a nice and different play style.
    Least Favorite Thing: Lady and Trish aren't featured enough. They feel like an afterthought.

    Date Completed: 2019-08-12
    Playtime: 12h
    Enjoyment: 8/10
    Recommendation: The action is solid and super stylish. Definitely worth playing.

    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

La jugabilidad de V me parece una basura.
    Jugué a este juego después de haber disfrutado de Astral Chain, y cuando me tocaba una fase donde tenía que manejas a V, solo deseaba apagar el PC y encender la switch para volver a Astral Chain. Por suerte las fases donde controlas a V no son demasiadas y las fases con Nero o Dante lo compensan.

    La historia es tan floja que lo único disfrutable de sus escenas es disfrutar de su espectacularidad gráfica.

    But combat was a little bit... well... meh... it wasn't bad, but is not perfect either. In the game the player will be switching between Dante, Nero and V, each character has their unique and different combat style and upgrades that can be done with red orbs that the player will found through the level,back at the combat, at the moment you get use to play as one character the game forces you to play as another and now you most adapt to that character combat style, so... i never fell 100% comfortable with this combat style switch.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Devil May Cry Continues... This sentiment makes me giddy with joy as a gamer.

    Setting aside the character design aesthetics of DMC:Dmc it was a competent game, but one that lacked heart and soul of everything that made DMC series into what it was.
    With this entry all is forgiven and forgotten as this is An Absolute Blast to play and even more since it reminds me of the finger hurting combo/switching techniques required to get the Smoking Sexy Style that gave DMC 3 it's legendary status.
    Special shout out to Nico for feeling right at home in the crazy world of DMC hotties.

    I had a full on joyous experience playing through all the protagonist added with nostalgic feelings from DMC 1, DMC 3&4. Even though the story is not as deep, but it has never been a focal point in any from this series.
    The game play is near flawless and the weapon switching and style switching mechanics were fun once you crossed the minor learning curve. Each of the three protagonists have a unique play style of their own which served to keep it fresh and challenging to achieve the SSS ratings.

    Minor gripes of course exist. Would have liked Dante to be more playable and would have also enjoyed if Vergil Returning was not the whole and sole reason for this game to exist. But I am happy none the less since future games in the series have potential for much more varied story lines. Also would have loved for Trish and Lady to have a more significant role, but this can be rectified in a sequel as well.

    If u ever loved Dante's Cocky one liners or fell in love with Dante rocking out with Nevan in DMC 3 or wanted to slap Nero so he could be more cooler like his Dad in DMC 4; You will love the experience this game provides you and if you are fan of the Series I can bet this will bring back all the good feels.
    If you are not it is also a good place as a starting point to get a feel of what this series is like.

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.

    I can't say the last time I had this much fun with an action game. The visuals are top notch, and on a level you'd expect from a fast-paced hack & slash games. Characters in the main focus are simply fun and interesting, although the side characters got really small amounts of "screen time".

    Upgrade system is a bit wonky and broad, which is a caliber you'd expect from a DMC game. Controls do feel a bit overcrowded at times, but are trumped by a sheer pleasure from landing a blow from any of offered abilities from your arsenal.

    Story itself is sub-par when compared to the rest of the game, but still good and interesting even though the ending didn't rise up to the expectations. But I do get they have to plan these things out openly considering it's a strong franchise with a dedicated fan-base.

    Among the sea of lack-luster and disappointing titles. This is a game I will surely replay.    … Expand

Dante, Nero and V were all fairly interesting characters, and the ending was great imo.

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

Dante, Nero, V, and Vergil all have drastically different play styles and move sets and all of them work really well.

    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.
