    It’s fun, in the ways that the old games are fun, and, taken out of context, it makes some interesting changes to mix up how you approach its beloved Style. Devil May Cry 5 manages to shake off the rust and remind us why we liked these games before, but you have to work to ignore the fact that some of its moves are just a little bit out of date.

    Devil May Cry 5’s risk-averse approach grounds it as other games in the genre are reaching for the sky.

    Devil May Cry 5 is the consummate "return to form" package, Capcom's unapologetic comeback for Dante, Nero, and a mysterious Adam Driver lookalike called V. Sidestepping the DmC reboot, this is the Devil May Cry fans know and love. Not a step has been lost. DMCV is everything fans want, and everything the rest of the world needs...It's the best Devil May Cry game.

    It zeroes in on what it does particularly well: fast, fluid, and frantic combat that remains fresh even a dozen hours into the experience. Despite its stunning presentation, it can feel like a game from a different era, as if you were playing the best-looking PS2 game ever made — and I mean that as the highest compliment.
