    Great game.
    Way, waaaaaay too short. ~15 hours
    Wonderful character animations/models.
    "Online" features are as useful as googly eyes : They are silly but ultimately a waste of time and attention.

    DMC 5 is the best Hardcore Action Combat game ever made! The production quality is phenomenal, the enemies challenging, and the 3 playable characters diverse.

    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.

    I can not express how much I am dissappointed by this game.
    The only solid thing is the combat, but lets be honest, it was good already in all previous titles of the series. This solid foundation was unfortunately wasted by everything else.

    - levels design is poor and repetitive, like they are done by novice map maker, like really low budget game,
    - constantly switching characters with different steering scheme is really bad idea, it disconnected me from the game, its annoying to say the least
    - I really enjoyed reboot DMC few years ago, but many people complained about design of the main character, Its out of my capability of understanding how could they accept character such as V, who has no fighting system apart from bashing 2 of his demons buttons at once all the time and getting S for this. He is enigmatic the same way he is boring and week and feels out of place, the same place where master Dante destroyed anything in his path
    - good fighting system may sometimes cover the fact that the game is completely empty, few secret missions and that is it
    - structure of the game, splitting the game into missions is thing of the past, please move already to present times, watch Remedy's Control and learn how it should look in 21st century
    - the devil hunter difficulty is really really low, too low, and after what I saw in this game, I will not play it again at a higher difficulty, it throws me away so bad,
    - the story is poor excuse for this game to exist, its boring, naive, predictable, with some really soap operas plot twists, total cringe
    - once again steering - WHO decided that Nero should have his hook and his booster arm under one button? its another example of the mess this game is

    On the bright side, Im done with this game, will never get back to it. This series just became parody of itself.    … Expand

    it's cheesy and cringe to max level, and the difficulty is weird; you wont die once to normal enemies, but some bosses need some specific patterns to be beatten, wich can take a while for you to understand, and that can be really frustrating. but the game is as cool as it can be. lots of weapons and gears and technics and play styles and combos and etc. and the fact that dante and vergilit's cheesy and cringe to max level, and the difficulty is weird; you wont die once to normal enemies, but some bosses need some specific patterns to be beatten, wich can take a while for you to understand, and that can be really frustrating. but the game is as cool as it can be. lots of weapons and gears and technics and play styles and combos and etc. and the fact that dante and vergil are really back at in the plot made the teenager inside of me really happy… Expand

    BEST gameplay
    BEST graphic
    BEST OST
    BEST story (almost)
    BEST DMC
    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.

    I finished this game. I think this version of devil may cry is better than the other devil may cry games. Because of the fantastic graphics, I just don't like the story very much.

    Maybe it's not my type of game but i get bored quickly if i do always the same: go forward + closed room + fight, go forward + closed room + fight, go forward + closed room + fight, etc.

    What else is there to say? it is a damn bombastic game, whether you are familiar with it or not.
    A must buy for DmC fans. Strongly recommended for fans of action games.

    Honestly, I am not that into games where you have to fight your way trough hordes of enemies but DMC 5 somehow made me adore it anyway - especially since V´s fighting style where he uses summonned demons fit my favorite play-style perfectly.

    The story is amazing and the relationship between Dante, Nero and the mysterious V (with a secret revealed later in the game) is both deep and    Honestly, I am not that into games where you have to fight your way trough hordes of enemies but DMC 5 somehow made me adore it anyway - especially since V´s fighting style where he uses summonned demons fit my favorite play-style perfectly.

    The story is amazing and the relationship between Dante, Nero and the mysterious V (with a secret revealed later in the game) is both deep and engaging. 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. I can not recommend this game enough!!    … Expand

    Awesome story. Fun characters. Smooth gameplay. Some of the best graphics you can find, with some models incredibly detailed. Combat can be very easy on lower difficulties so I suggest the higher ones.

    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

    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,

    Really trying to like this game but it's not for me. The battles are unsatisfying - mindless enemies, each encounter is very instanced & limited, and every character seems like they have the same personality.

    Me lo pase sin morir y sin desbloquear casi ningún combo, en mi opinión la dificultad tan absurda arruina la primera partida y lo hace aburrido. Habiendo jugado Sekiro antes que este la diferencia se nota.

    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.
