    El mejor juego que existe, al menos en términos de gameplay, no existe un juego mas completo, complejo y profundo, fácil de aprender y muy difícil de dominar, por no hablar de sus gráficos bestiales gracias al RE engine, o su música dinámica, una verdadera pieza maestra que vuelve para recordarles a todos, que los juegos, siguen siendo juegos y lo mas importante siempre sera el gameplay

    Amazing gameplay and music. My only gripe is that the game wasn't that long and doesn't make a ton of sense, and that there was a bit of confusing amount of bonus purchase content. I'd like to receive the whole game please. It's definitely one of the best DMC games

    Although its story and environmental design leave much to be desired, Devil May Cry 5 is a superb and insanely fun hack and slash title that no action fan should miss out on.

    A must-have if you enjoy character action, the game feels incredible and the skill ceiling is so high. The adrenaline rush of chasing that SSS rating is unmatched, paired with amazing life-like visuals thanks to the RE Engine and a soundtrack that you will never get out of your head.

    Devil Trigger slaps so hard, and may be the best song ever made.

The trailers made the game looks stunning and great, and... it is a great game.
    DMC 5 was built using the RE Engine from Resident Evil 7 and this game looks better than those two previous RE games. Facial animations look real with huge detail, the lighting made the game looks real at times and the level design is amazing, maybe a little bit linear but amazing.
    I did like the story, even that i think it made reference to the previous games that i haven't played... I will eventually.
    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.
    Now moving quickly to the performance... woow!!!! Using a GTX 1080 Ti this game runs amazingly smooth with no fps drops what so ever without using too much GPU and CPU usage
    Aside from that DMC 5 is an amazing game that is worth your time.    … Expand

    It's pretty annoying that it keeps saying "DISMAL" during the beginning of every fight, and situations where doing anything else would be bad strategy. Wish I could turn that stuff off and just play the game without it trying to rank everything I'm doing.

    There are some glitchy things where something may not seem possible until you see someone do it, and thus know to just keep trying.

    In many instances during battle you can't tell what combo you're doing or at what point of a specific combo you're at (it's just chaos). Which pretty much defeats the whole idea of the combat type.

    Tips only show up on the loading screen, and they automatically disappear instead of having you press a key to continue. Many of them disappear too fast.

    It seems like a console port that wasn't thoroughly done. Some annoying things like not being able to press space or the keypad "enter" as equivalents of the main "enter" key. And instead, the "forward" key (E for me) has that function.

    Many of the items/abilities in the game are unclear on how they should be used. A good game doesn't make you search the internet for instructions.

    There are so many combinations of keys/moves. I couldn't remember them all. Thankfully there's an "auto" mode that randomly chooses and performs various combos.

    If you have your equipment/devil breakers in a certain order then lose/use one, you can't add back the same one in the same place. You either have to put it at the end or tediously reorganize everything.

    At the end there's a fight scene that you control when the credits are rolling, then it switched to directions and when I press escape to pause it skipped the entire thing.    … Expand

    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.

    Thank you, Capcom, for all these amazing 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.
