    It's an okay action game, but the characters are not cool at all; in fact, they seem rather comical.

    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.

    a grey filter and some Japaneses mucus and tentacles and you get absolutely not varied missions.

    2. Fights feel non responsive. Bad camera and key binds to position of character make difficulties to do desired hits and combos. Most combos are just useless because of because of one ultimate attack. this is especially acutely felt when you playing for V. All his gameplay is narrowed down to endlessly push two buttons; very boring. There are hardly visible indicators of enemies' attacks, so after GoW it feels like a mess.
    3. Music is great! All that rock sets the mood to beat some demons.
    4. Cinematics are astonishing. Full of humor and anime/epic moments. Good director's work! Bad thing is you have to grind through repetitive and not diverse fights to see another video. Couldn't last more than 13 chapter.

    "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.

    It's a good game, but it was difficult to learn the gameplay. I don't think I will be back again. The game is technically quite successful.

    I pushed buttons and stuff happened on the screen. The level design is very poor, just corridors that lock, kill enemies and then proceed. The same generic "alien mush" in most of the levels. Overwhelming numbers of weapons that you can swap between for no good reason. The story is incoherent. Naff dialogue. DmC 2013 was a far superior game in every aspect. Music is worse in DMC5 as well.I pushed buttons and stuff happened on the screen. The level design is very poor, just corridors that lock, kill enemies and then proceed.

    No other game allows you to slay demons in such a stylish manner.
    DMC5 and it's combat is so good it made any other hack'n'slash unplayable for me, this game really is levels above games like bayonetta etc.
    If you like hack'n'slash games and haven't played DMC5 yet, i both pity you and am jealous at the same time. The ONLY thing about DMC5 that could be done better is the leved

    The ONLY thing about DMC5 that could be done better is the leved design. After mission 10, many levels look alike, and could use some variety.

    Still a solid 10 - if any game of this kind deserves top score, it's DMC5. It's Badass.

    Kılıçla çatır çutur düşman kestiğin oyuna, yaratık çağırıp onunla vuran adam ekle. Aynen bide onunla birkaç bölüm ekle. Mükemmel fikir. Kötü hikaye, yine de oynanışı o kadar iyi ki anlatamam.

    its pretty fun, combat and visual effects are a highlight in this game. I like the plot twists and some level designs but some of them are forgettable and kind of boring. Platforming camera angles gives me a massive headache because of how annoying it is and some boss fights are just too difficult and do not really scale well with level progression properly.

The combat ranking system is really dope and when you pull off a sick combo and get SSS you feel pretty amazing. The dialogue for some characters is god awful i recommend skipping all Nico cutscenes. The story is kind of weird and hard to understand. Not a totally bad game but not something ill classify as an untouchable masterpiece. Expand

    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.

    Played on 110" projector screen. Surround 5.1

    First one Devil May cry 5 have the best Soundtrack of all games!!! Devil Trigger, Bury the Light sooo nice.

    The gameplay feel so smooth and if u have skill for smashing around, you will feel the music
    The story is not that wonderful, but devil may cry is not and was not a good stroy telling game. If u want to relax and enjoy a game with nice soundtrack here you got Devil may cry 5

    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.
