    It is very, VERY rare that a game is able to out shine it's predecessors, especially a game like DMC which has a game base spanning back to the PS2 days, but this in my opinion is the best in the series so far. The combat is slick, the story is great, Dante is exactly how you expect Dante to be years after DMC 3/4, there is just no aspect of the game that hasn't been improved on.

    Capcom are doing a great job at the moment with both their remakes (Resi 2) and new games (this). The game is very well optimised on PC, no signs of a generic "PC port" and actually feels like they put in effort in for the PC community.

    Fans of the series will feel right at home, new players may be a little confused at first, but I am sure YouTube by now has a "everything you need to know before playing DMC5" or something to catch you right up.

    All in all I highly recommend the game to anyone who is a fan of the genre, this is definitely going to be a GOTY contender for 2019.    … Expand

    Back in 2002 when i finally got my PS2 (took a while to save up money as a 13/14 year old) Devil May Cry was first game i got for it, been psyched about it for a year and was one of the main motivators for me to get a PS2 in the first place.
    As i suspected when i finally played it DMC was everything i hoped for, and it instantly skyrocketed to the top of my favorite games list.

    As i suspected when i finally played it DMC was everything i hoped for, and it instantly skyrocketed to the top of my favorite games list.
    Bar DMC2 which was a "slight" disappointment, DMC games always held a special place in my mind.
    DMC reboot wasn't a bad game, on the contrary it was pretty good, alas it was not what fans wanted and what we waited for.
    I'm glad to say DMC5 is a return to form for Capcom and for DMC franchise, all the main characters are back with a vengeance, and i can honestly say that the game is everything i've been hoping for from a new main line DMC sequel.

    Graphics 10/10

    Not much to say here, RE engine looks incredible, game seems well optimized, and it ran great on my system (Ryzen 2600X, 16GB RAM, GTX 1080, at 3440x1440), only small gripe i had was that game doesn't support ultra-wide (atm) so i had 2 grey bars on the sides of the monitor.

    Audio: 9/10

    OST is as expected great, game's main anthem Devil Trigger, which is also Nero's battle music is a departure from usual heavy metal songs. But it fits Nero much better imho.
    Rest of the soundtrack especially Dante's battle theme are more in line with older OSTs.
    DMC3 OST still stands as best in the series for me, 5 isn't far tho.
    Played with English dub, and voice actors did great work, not much else to say, there are some scenes where lip sync doesn't sync very well, but luckily it doesn't detract much from game, and it's doesn't happen very often.

    Gameplay 10/10

    Nailed it, and nailed it so much.
    Everything just "feels" right, way Nero and Dante control is just like i remember from old games, and any veterans returning should feel right at home in DMC5.
    V is a fresh take on combat in DMC where he doesn't fight directly, Instead you control his "pets".
    It's weird at the start but you get used to it, altho i quickly found a way to cheat my way to SSS with him and it's rather easy to pull off.

    Story 9/10

    I'm rating it within "DMC sphere" of storytelling, anyone who played older DMCs knows that DMC story can be weird to say the least, like a fun B movie.
    And that's fine, DMC never took itself very seriously and DMC5 is no exception.
    If you are new just relax don't engage your brain too much and enjoy the ride.

    Overall I loved every second of new DMC, I'm gonna play higher difficulties now, and hunt some achievements.
    And here's hoping Capcom makes a proper DMC6 in a couple years and we don't have to wait 10+ years for a new mainline DMC again.    … Expand

    that's what the fans wanted in 2013, not the stupid restart of the series. A great combat system, not a chopped version like in DmC, and a great soundtrack, not like in a stupid restart. pull my devil trigger bite into memory for a long time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing game. Gorgeous graphics, exciting OST, fluid combat mechanics and kind of unlimited(?) combo potentials. Have always been a fan of the DMC series. Although I am not very skillful, I always enjoy spending time hack and slash my way to infinite devil trigger mode, and for all achievements in later games in the series. The reason I marked it down by 1 is because I am a little bit unsatisfied with the weapons/combat, characters and story. Despite all the complains in the below, I am still gonna go for DMC6 in the future lolololol.

    Weapons/Combat(Nero):
    Interesting twist with the devil breakers. Is it just me or is the game constantly giving out mega busters? I had like 8 of them in stock after one play through while the others have like 2-3. I broke devil breakers from time to time for more stylish points but it seems to me that capcom is dishing out a lot of mega busters for me .... Anyway, the skill set of Nero did not change much and I still suck at Max act/Exceed. Just Nero being Nero.

    Weapons/combat(Dante):
    I have always loved seeing Dante showing off/trying out his newly obtained weapon. In DMC5, 2 new melee weapons? Come on. Nunchuck is not even that new coz it appeared in DMC3. I like the Bruce Lee sound Dante is making tho. The motorbike is a slow (grinding?) weapon. Slow weapon is just not my type. It's a hack and slash game. What do you expect? If it is a slow weapon, I would like it to be impactful like the gauntlets. Not the mention the Rebellion/Sparda evolved into Devil Sword Dante fked up the Sowrdmaster move set. Of course it is stronger this way, I can land extra hits with O/B while doing my normal combos. But the home run move is gone which made me sad. Luckily I can change back to Rebellion after endgame.
    For ranged weapons, only the usual guns without weird **** like Pandora's box? That just made me reluctant to upgrade Gunslinger. Maybe because Pandora's box was too OP? But I do think Dr. Faust
    is a nice idea for players to farm red orbs more easily.
    And I think Royalguard is the most OP style now, just because of the royal revenge. Vergil dodges your SM combo but got wrecked by RG.

    Weapons/combat(V):
    For me, this is the most boring character. Interesting idea of adding different play style. Need to hold the controller in a weird way for micromanaging Shadow and Griffin, lock on and read a book from afar. Not the most comforting gaming experience for my right hand. Going in for last hits occasionally. Can easily get high stylish points compare with other 2 characters coz low risk of being hit. The battles are so far away that I can't really feel it. Playing as V is like a subject that you are doing well naturally but you have no interest in it.

    Characters:
    DMC series has been trying to make characters looks badass. Mostly by main characters taunting bosses before boss fights, inhuman/stylish combats moves against enemies during cut scenes, etc. But I think DMC5 has gone a bit too much for over emphasizing "coolness" in places where characters could be acting normally. The whole poetry reading from V is getting on my nerves. I don't know whether there is a deeper meaning to this but I certainly think he is more like "acting cool" than "being cool".
    On the other hand, the characters grew old in a way that is not very pleasing. I mean you can see them growing from teens/young adults in DMC3 to mature adults in DMC4, especially Dante, Vergil and Lady. In DMC5, Dante went from playful adult to a drunk street beggar look. Vergil was a handsome man (no homo) and now he is like a grumpy, gloomy bastard. I guess Lady is kinda alright. Trish was hot from DMC1-4 but she is looking like an aunt right now.... And where the fk is Kyrie? Not in a single fking cut scene? Only voice during phone calls? What the fk is wrong with you game designers? Budget cut of sth? And why is Nico suddenly popping up out of nowhere?

    Story:
    Didn't explain how Vergil got back from hell. How the hell did Vergil had a son Nero? Like Dante said, it's kinda expected when Nero and Yamato reacted in DMC4. But no explanations of what was going on in hell with Vergil? Did he fked a succubus or sth so Nero is like 75% demon and stronger than him? Nero just awaken his potential right before final boss fight with will power? Not getting beaten up and end up in a bad situation with sword pierces through chest? So the "apple" just fixed Vergil? He was like crippling and falling apart, he separated himself, causing big ass troubles, ate an apple, recombine, then he is good to go. What happens to the supreme power from apple that made Mundus the king of hell? All in all, Vergil just life stealing from normal humans for healing? And Dante decided to forgive him at the end because Vergil is not taking over the world? Not that I really mind the somewhat typical/lame story lines and endings from all DMC games. I am just here for some hack and slash. But there are just a lot of things unexplained.    … Expand

Newbies will feel at home. There's even a "The Void" practice zone whenever you learn a new move (you can even try out all the moves before you decide on the upgrade for your character, so it is accessible between missions and when you get upgrades). Said another way, you won't be prone to forget a huge list of combos. It is as incremental as you want it to be. If your're new to the series, you get new moves as you progress in the game. Inside the gameplay, even beginners will soon see how to mix moves together. This makes the game an absolute joy to play.

    Speaking of which, the combat system is great. There are different settings for beginners to advanced players. Some settings even let the game do combos for you if you physically can't do the combinations of button presses. I do find turning around or changing direction a bit jerky, but I guess they wanted the controls to be very responsive rather than have smooth transitions during quick change of directions. This only happens when you completely change direction, so no big deal.

    There are a lot of cutscenes. So if you're not a fan of that, it may be annoying. But that's always been a staple of DMC games. The bosses are interesting. They're not just boss #1, #2, etc. Well, at least the ones I've seen so far. The characters are of course very dismissive of any opponent they defeat because that's their shtick.

    As others have said, story is simple and yet keeps you intrigued. I do like the various characters and personalities. This part is extremely well done. Overall, it's fairly linear. There are secret areas and secret mission that you should try to find throughout though.

    The games runs very smoothly on 1440p with everything maxed out. Then again, I have 1800X + 1080Ti. The game does not fill ultra widescreen (3440x1440). You just get black bars on the side. Note that it does widescreen just fine. Having said that, I'm reading there is an unofficial ultrawide fix available that I'm gonna try right now.

    Can't recommend this game enough!    … Expand

The story is kinda campy, over the top and totally capcom,but it's still a great time. Voice acting is pretty good, and the performance is great, running on 120+ fps on older hardware. However, the camera needs more work. Devil may cry 4 had multiple camera modes and i'd like to see a return of those. No 21:9 or arbitrary resolution support. Some more graphical options would be really appreciated too. The coop sections are really cool but only 2 missions really use that feature and it's impossible to train coop combos reliably. More levels would be my priority after Bloody Palace and more playable characters.

    There's no cancerous walking segment or tons of cutscenes to screw your pace over BUT i would like some missions to have faster checkpoints and reload times. Mission 19 and 20 shouldn't have a checkpoint option. And it shouldn't have the cutscene replay if you select restart mission. Other stuff also appreciated would be native PS4 Controller support on PC, like Yakuza has so far. I would also like the void to be a bit more refined. i would recommend the team to look at trainers available for previous games to see what players really want to use.

    One huge bug that has cropped up is that force quits or game crashes corrupts and deletes your saves, including all your golden orbs from logins and stylish appraisals. This is a huge bug that made me replay the campaign 2 more times. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Capcom, you've outdone yourselves. Ok first off, this is a TRUE sequel and it isn't bad like a certain reboot, looking at you Ninja Theory.

    Well jokes aside, this is one of, if not the, best entry in the Devil May Cry series. The story is excellent, characters just feel right, the combat system is smooth. There really isn't much to complain on this game. The only thing I personally would nitpick on is Vergil's facial structure, he looks a little derpy and the dubstep music. But even so, this is not just a game, it feels like true fan-service from Capcom. The dubstep music is only used for combat with Nero, BUT if you feel like you want an old soundtrack from the older dmc games, then you can do just that.

    Devil May Cry 5 offers a new way to play Nero with a mechanical arm he loses early on in the game and at first i wasn't convinced but during mid-game i was kind of digging it to be honest. All the arms have different abilities and ultimates and varies the gameplay.

    At first I was a bit concerned about how Capcom was going to handle the playable characters in a way that feels natural, but they happily surprised me.

    Verdict & TL-DR:

    Graphics: 10/10
    Gameplay: 9,5/10
    Story: 10/10
    Characters: 9/10
    Music: 9/10

    This is the long awaited and theorized DMC game that all the fans have gotten and it lived up to the hype, Graphics are the best they've ever been in DMC without even having a big impact on performance all thanks to the RE Engine. Gameplay was even better that I thought it would be, the story was fantastic, the characters felt right and although i didn't like the dubstep battle music, there was an option to change that and the soundtracks were epic.

    Gameplay is just as brilliant I have never played earlier instalments.
    players get to play as three characters: Nero, V and of course Dante. Each of them has their own unique powers i like to play v the most myself.

    it is amazing, i really enjoyed it 9/10.

    As A devil may cry fan I absolutely love this game. It's one of those guilty pleasures that makes you want to keep playing ,and go for that SSS rating. The graphics are great, the soundtrack is good, and the combat is AMAZING. if you want a good hack and slash game with the absolute best combat around this is your game.

    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.
