    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.

    - 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

    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 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.

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,

This is a competent game. It has likeable characters and a relatively interesting story.

    Some journalists have stated that DMCV has the best combat system in the entire hack & slash genre. I completely disagree with that. In a proper hack and slash game...

    ...the player should be able to fight effectively against multiple enemies at once. Yet in DMCV, most fights are 1v1 between the player and one enemy NPC, even if there are surrounding enemies in the given area. It feels like a glorified souls-like rather than an actual hack & slash title.

    ... the player sould have at least as many ranged attacks as close-combat moves, because that way he can fight effectively against multiple enemies that are in the area at different distances from each other and from the player. Yet in DMCV, basically all moves are close-combat moves (even though you can use a pistol, for example), and even the close-combat moves have way smaller range that I've seen in other games (Darksiders, DmC, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Bayonetta, God of War, etc.).

    ... is supposed to be tough, but fair and should have a combat system that is easy to learn, but difficult to master. The enemies should be fearful and strong but they should also have their weaknesses. For example, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is a very tough game, especially on Paladin difficulty, but because the combat system is so excellent, if you master it, you can complete the whole game without ever getting hit - and you can also exploit the weaknesses of the countless different and unique enemies of the game. However, DMCV is stupidly easy even on the hardest difficulty because the A.I. barely do anything at it makes enemy encounters quite boring after a couple of hours.

    ---

    The other problem is that because the combat system is very much centered around one on one fights for multiple reasons, there's practically no reason to ever not use the Lock-On system. Yet, the only way to use the Lock-On feature (lock-on enemy target) is to use the Right Bumper button (if you are using an Xbox controller). This makes my hand hurt after a while, it just feels weird to constantly hold that button down, especially the same time that I'm continously doing combos using the X and Y buttons. In other hack & slash games, it's basically a standard in terms of controls is to toggle Lock-On using the Right Stick (click), then switching between targets by tilting that stick to left or right. I don't understand why DMCV didn't use this. It feels just as weird as shooters did on PS3, because you had to use the upper shoulder buttons to aim and fire instead of the triggers.

    TL;DR: The combat system feels very limited because as a player, you don't really have the chance nor the tools to fight against multiple enemies at the same time, the game rather chooses to focus on 1v1 fights instead and because of that, the overall combat feels way less satisfying and chaotic. Also, the game is stupidly easy because the A.I. most of the time stands still even on the hardest difficulty so it removes all the challenge and it makes the game boring after a while.    … Expand

    Graphics are excellent, probably the best Capcom has ever produced, the game runs smoothly and in general is well put together. I had no problem maintaining a locked 60fps on ultra settings.

    In terms of pacing there is good and bad. It is a relief for me not to have to collect a load of pointless collectables like in so many games these days, DMC5 at least gets to the point of the game in that respect however is it really necessary to have so many cutscenes. It seems like every new area or enemy encounter has to have it's own cinematic introduction. At least there is no quick time events though.

    New moves are unlocked with red orbs which can be farmed in-game or bought with real money which is a disgrace as the game does not really start until you have unlocked all moves so this does affect the games balancing. Capcom is very greedy and also want you to spend more money on soundtrack items which cannot be unlocked any other way but will show up in game menus (like in Street Fighter V).

    In summary only buy this game when it's on sale if your willing to put the time in to mastering the controls and overcoming DMC 5's steep difficulty curve.    … Expand

After finishing the game, I started son of Sparda (hard) and it was only slightly more difficult. Some dancing enemies are replaced with enemies that actually attack you, everybody has more HP and they do more damage, but it wasn't very challenging.

    The game seems rushed, it has 20 missions, you get 1 weapon for Dante on mission 18 and 19 which seems waaay too late, since mission 20 is just a boss fight. On mission 18 you fight a monster you've already fought in DMC 3 or 4, and you get the same weapon.

    Gameplay for Dante is very fun, Nero is so so due to his lack of primary weapons (1 gun + 1 sword + many special abilities) and V is just very uninspiring button mashing until the enemy dies.

    Overall, a bit too short, very repetitive, bosses without much personality and fun to play, but not incredible. Currently it's rated 9.0 which seems too high.    … Expand

For such a "Big Game", the general vibe it exudes is just "silly and unserious" like the developers where making it to be a "Big Joke" instead.

    Pretty disappointed with the game. Seeing how high it is rated by both the press and players I might have expected a bit too much but there are some issues that just can't be overlooked.

    First, the story is very simple and straight forward, i wouldn't say it was bad but definitely not memorable. On top of that the levels are very linear and there's not much diversity in the environment.    Pretty disappointed with the game.

    But my main problem with the game is that the 2 difficulty levels you get to choose on your first playthrough are too easy. This is my first DmC game and I literally steamrolled through the entire game without seeing the death screen once. You unlock higher difficulty levels by finishing the game or by beating Urizen at the begining but most people don't know that on their first playthrough, I didn't.

    That's a shame because I enjoyed the gameplay and would have had a much better time playing this game if it was actually challenging.
    Aside from a good gameplay, the game has very likeable characters and some good pieces of humor.

    I think the reason behind DmC 5's success is that it offers deep gameplay mechanics while staying very casual friendly.    … Expand

If you want a super good rich story telling games, please go for other games such like Persona 5. If you really like a great combat game, please go for God of War. I don't think this game is a masterpiece. A masterpiece games will let player feel the story is unexpectedly interesting and feel tension during combat but not just simply make a game just hit, fly and jump. Then make a story to tell someone this guy is your father then end of story, it is too short, you know? Probably the PC players never experience what is a real masterpiece game. That's why a PS4 console is a must for every PC gamers. Please wait until April 2019 and play this game -- Days Gone.… Expand

    Everyone talks about graphics and story, battle system is great they say. And it doesn't matter that Darksiders with same battle mechanics were unsuccessful, press 3 buttons to dodge, really? About music: anyone will disagree but I think that soundtrack at this game sucks. Even in DmC 4 it was better, and don't even speak about 2013 DmC. As a conclusion game is good (kind of) but not for all.

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

    I played this at my friend's, it was okay, but I felt like it was geared towards consumables in order to get through the levels. Then I looked at the store page and saw the red orbs microtransactions. It makes me feel sick to see that and I will not buy a game that does this or support it in any other way. This kind of exploitation is disgusting and capcom should be ashamed.

    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

    I wanted to like DMC5 more, but I couldn't.

    For starters, I was hooked from the first trailer and in one sense I'm not disappointed at all. This game is absolutely STUNNING. It's undoubtely one of the prettiest games I've ever played. And it knows it. Because it's presentation is so over-the-top insane it couldn't be forgiven if it was another title. I'm talking about high-fidelity    I wanted to like DMC5 more, but I couldn't.

And it knows it. Because it's presentation is so over-the-top insane it couldn't be forgiven if it was another title. I'm talking about high-fidelity japanese panache. That goes from photorealistic cinematics and intricately detailed character models to hardcore eye-candy babes and mind-blowing antics. All coupled with some immersive soundtracks and voice acting. On top of all that, the game is not only gorgeous but runs like butter. Mad props to optimization.

    Where else it is most praised, however, I have to disagree. Gameplay. It's not that good. Best hack 'n slash ever? Hardly. First off, the controls are a mess. There's no way you're playing them on default without a rebind. And good luck on using mouse and keyboard. Also, if you're sporting a Dualshock, there's a detour you should take by installing a mod with the proper layout. Because you're gonna do A LOT of button-mashin'. Even though there is a rich variety to skills that implies some training and mastering, the game never gives you the opportunity to do so, for two main reasons: 1. It's always counting, meaning the combo meter will reset quickly if you idle or take your time to strategize or to even remember all the skill moves and abilities that you have (because you're constantly thrown between characters and playstyles); 2. It prioritizes 1v1 combat and there are few area-of-effect attacks even though you're always crowded by foes, so much so the camera will betray you and you won't even see what freaking combo or move you're actually performing, so you better off smashing every joint of your pad and hope by the end you'll be rated zZz for letting the game play itself.

    To make matters worse, the level design is straight-up LAZY. They must have been very proud of the groundbreaking visuals because this other department was half-baked AF. There's the ruined city, there's the ruined cemeteries and there's the demon tree, which gets even worse by late game - and they're all deserted. The encounters follow the same thread: advance from this arena to this corridor to get to the next arena and so on, and maybe with some godawful and unresponsive platforming thrown in the mixture.

    And lastly, the story. It's barebones and generic, and most of the characters are ultimately wasted - which is a shame, considering how cool they all are.

    Looks so good though, I almost forgot I came to give a mixed review.    … Expand

    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

    A masterclass in character action games with an extremely satisfying and complex combat system which never gets repetitive (besides maybe the new character V who I'm not too big a fan of). Overall, it's still a must play if you're into action games, though there may be a learning curve before you get invested in the combat.

    That's how games should be made. It's pure fun, it doesn't give you thousand of worthless content just to fill the game, but enough to test all the combat possibilities and things, that are available. Story is great, much better than I expected. Combat just can't get boring with so many awesome mechanics (motorcycle, rocket launcher and a hat, what else could we possibly ask for).

    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.

    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.

So what about story telling? it is well created as well, as tell before while you play the game you have ability to play by different characters with their own play style and own vision of story. you will enter different locations which somehow intertwined with each other. and all of this accompanied by cool music. so do i recommend this game ? yeah exactly especially if you slasher lover as me you will enjoyed as well.    … Expand

    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". Nonetheless the playable characters are tons of fun to play and upgrade.    Devil May Cry 5

    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.

    It's alright, nothing special.

    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

    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.
