    Потрясающая боевка . Красивая графика . Отличный саундтрек. Единственный минус как по мне это то что пол игры ты находишься в какой то кишке Сатаны.

    I can love DMC 1 and 3, 4 is ok and we all know 2 is the worst. But this game is not much better. It has no story, no heart, kind of just going through the motions. V is an interesting add but his combat sucks. The girl in the van is just annoying and the plot twist is a joke. Sorry but this is not much better than 2.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The worst game in the series, I liked DMC 2 even more than this game. I bought Collector’s Edition and thought that DMC is really back but it isn’t. RE engine is too dark here, though it was fine in RE7, the ending is abrupt and doesn’t make any sense, the locations are linear with no backtracking like in DmC but it doesn’t work here in this game, because fights are boring. There’s no exploration, no puzzles, just a set of arenas to fight some boring monsters in boring dark grey-filtered locations that get worse towards the end of the game. Battle system in DmC was really great and you could feel the difference between locations. The Boss battle with Urizen’s shield seems to be this game’s direcror’s favorite. But this boss battle is one of the worst and poorly designed in the entire series. 3 playable characters is a very questionable decision. This game is the Resident Evil 6 of DMC series, I would give it a 3/10 but I liked music, intro, secret missions, V’s gameplay (though it gets repetitive too quickly) and the character design. Dialogues are well written and cutscenes are really good. The story is fine but when I played DmC, Devil may cry 1,2,3 and 4, after completing these games I felt like I watched a movie, maybe sometimes a bad one, but a movie. After playing DMC5 I feel like I watched an episode of a mediocre TV show. Being a big fan of the series since 2000s I can say that this game is a big disappointment that makes me doubt in Capcom’s future games. I still don’t want to buy Resident Evil 2 because I don’t want to be this sad again. I wish someone from Capcom sees this little review and makes some notes of it. Capcom, I wish you good luck in your future projects, I really liked RE7 and I hope you will never let me down again.… Expand

    I can't believe I'm saying it but there's too many weapons and too many characters. Rather than focus on one or two awesome weapons with complex move sets, you get tons of not very good ones. I had access to a range of almost identical combos pretty early on. The button combinations were too similar and damage outputs were practically the same. This left me just spamming one or two moves as I lost interest in using new moves and getting S rank combos. The combat is easily the worst of all DMC games.

    There was no build up to improving your character like previous games since you can buy all the moves and combos early on. I missed the anticipation of being able to afford new moves and slowly increasing in power. The sense of reward was totally missing from the game.

    You switch characters often and never really get a good play session with just one character. The combat is so bad though, the frequent switches ended up not really mattering.

    The story is awful. DMC games are always a bit daft but usually coherent and fun. This was just plain boring.

    The level design sucks so bad! Especially in the later sections of the game. No cool gothic design like previous games, just boring organic looking corridors.

    The worst part beside the game play was the V character. He's literally the 'Internet nerd in a fedora' meme. I cringed every time I had to play as him or watch his cut scenes. Combat using V is incredibly dull too.

    I appreciate Capcom bringing back the Dante we all love. But the DmC reboot was way better than this. And DMC 4 utterly blows this installment out of the water.

    Skip this or buy it when it's so cheap it's practically free.    … Expand

    BAAAAAAD!!! Linear and dull gameplay, repetitive, when you think the game is stepping up for finally something interesting, the credits roll, mysogynistic, objectifying female characters
    shallow scenario, poor storytelling, worthless characters, bosses and levels are flavorless

    I played 4th and DMC. I like it. But this project is mediocrity. A variety of locations plunges into horror.

    At best this is an Ok game. It's not bad, but not entirely good. V's dialogue in particular was insanely grating. Some of the worst dialogue ive heard within a game in a long time. V is basically a human version of Shadow the Hedgehog. By that i mean that he is a total edgelord. He's SO CRINGY.

    Story jumps back and forth between past and present so its not always coherent. Combat is so split up between the three fighters that it seems like you never get a good chance to learn any of them. It would have been better off getting to play this with your choice of character.

    Not worth it by any means, maybe a redbox rental. Graphics are ok but everything else is super lazy and poorly designed. This is a prettier but horribly designed and written Devil May Cry 4.

    Too short
    Badly designed
    Lazy
    ****
    Not serious at all.

    I enjoyed DMC way more.

    I never played the game but I figured I'd give it the review it deserves since the graphics are so ugly
    This is a completely valid review I can leave despite me never playing the game because Metacritic doesn't have any way to verify if I have or not.

    Hypeado hasta que salió y empecé a jugar, parece que esté jugando a un hack and slash de hace 10 años. Vale que la gente lo quiera por su nostalgia, sus gráficos son espectaculares, pero la jugabilidad es bastante mediocre, a parte la historia es mala no, lo siguiente, prácticamente nula. Hay muchos hack and slash bastantes mejores que este. Sobrevalorado al 100%, un saludo :)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I couldn't wait to play DMC5 when i heard about it's release in March 2019. I was over excited being a very big dmc fan. I pre ordered the game ahead of time & patently waited for it's release....... Just to be disappointed omg first the story line was completely trash! All the same moves and acts from dmc4. The missions was completely short literally. I completed the game in under 5 hours of playing, I was expecting way more than just a couple hours of playing. It wasn't at all anything i expected. Each stage at best is about 3 minutes of fighting, literally even on Demon Hunter Mode. I wish i could get my money back this is sad, I'm a very disappointed fan right now. I waited for this to come out just to get another tale of "two brothers' fighting for no reason & Nero finding out Vergil's his dad. Laaaammmmeeeeeeeee...............… Expand

    Another success for Capcom. Devil May Cry has received a fresh injection of demon blood, and is as SSStylish as ever. A treat to look at, and a treat to play. [Issue#161, p.86]

    When one rival put on weight, grew a bushy beard and decided to raise his son in the Northern bewilderness, the other chose a pair of stylish high-heels a couple sizes too small and the third now only appears to smash some oversized ta-tas, Devil May Cry 5 is proving that it is too early to put hack'n slash games out of commission. It's a gorgeous, glorious game of great current interest. A crown jewel from Capcom's most skilled goldsmiths.

    Although the online functions could have been better, the unique and satisfying combat styles of Nero, Dante and V greatly contribute in evolving Devil May Cry 5 to the next level. While gaining a more photorealistic look thanks to Capcom’s RE engine, the stylish action we have come to love from the series is better than ever.
