    A must buy game for any Action game fans, especially a DMC fan.
    This is the climax of the entire series.

    One of the best looking games ever.
    Loved the story.
    Gameplay is insanely fun.
    Best DMC by far.
    This was my game of the year. I'm shocked it did not get game of the year.
    Highly recommend

    The best DMC since "Dante's Awakening". It looks fantastic thanks to the RE Engine which also powered Resident Evil 7. Stylish action, crazy humor and a good story all help to make this an instant classic. There's a bit too much loading screens, but that's my only real complaint. If you didn't like the DmC reboot from 2013, then you'll probably love this over-the-top entry. I would rate itThe best DMC since "Dante's Awakening".

    Pure videogame bliss.
    This game looks absolutely phenomenal, the visuals are stunning, the environments are beautiful and the music is absolutely banging, easily one of the best and most important parts of the game.
    Arguably the best Hack 'n' Slash combat in any videogame so far, Dante is easily the best character to play as, his mechanics are insane and he has so many weapons, it's    Pure videogame bliss.

    Arguably the best Hack 'n' Slash combat in any videogame so far, Dante is easily the best character to play as, his mechanics are insane and he has so many weapons, it's wild. Nero is very enjoyable aswell, at first he feels kind off generic, because his kit is all-around quite balanced, but once you unlock more abilities his combos are incredibly fun to do. As for V, he is... interesting, his gameplay mechanics are quite different but not really in a good way, he slows down the pacing by a lot and sometimes his levels feel like a slog to go through.

    I didn't really mind the story, the writing is a little bit weak but there are some nice plot twists and epic moments in it.

    The cast is pretty good, every character is entertaining and cool, but what bothered me is the very cheesy and cringey dialogue, the over-the-top "badass" one liners and the unnecessary jokes.

    I think the biggest issue of the game is the outdated level design, every level is linear and boring to look at, dark colors everywhere, pathetic puzzles and no variety at all.

    It's worth to mention that, at first, I wasn't a big fan of the gameplay and the characters, but once I reached Chapter 10, the game got progressively better and better, with Dante carrying the entire game, I really came to appreciate it by the end, it's just a very fun and solid game that I recommend to everyone.

    Final Rating: "Fantastic" ~ 8.5/10.    … Expand

    a blast of fun, for sure. somehow they managed to add another new protagonist that is unbeliavably charismatic
    the 3 playable character system kind of don't give you so much time to get deep into the characters, but they all play pretty smoothly and this is easily overlooked by the great story, enemies desing and visuals

    Worth the 11 years of wait, removing all of the series' problems (bad plataform sequences, the fixed camera angles, and the boss rushes), delivering what is the best entry in the franchise.
    The adition of Vergil (which is now included for free in all digital versions of the game) just makes what was already close to perfection even better.

Porem DMC 5 é muito mais acessível e vai agradar um publico mais abrangente.

    Continuation of the stylish and very good Devil May Cry series is once again based mainly on Nero. gameplay, style and graphics are at a really top level, the story is in any case interesting, but short, I recommend it to everyone who likes challenges because the game has many levels of difficulty and the the highest of these is literally 'hell'

    lets start with the cons because there is so little of them

    Cons:
    - there is a mission where they recycle bosses which was annoying
    - story is a little bit short and i wanted more from this game because the fun i had
    - game is a little bit slow compared to the other ones and it takes time to get used to it

    that's basically it for the cons

    Pros:

    -the graphics are just a wow the new engine cap com used on resident evil is awesome looking

    - the amount of nostalgic feelings when you get in is just overwhelming and you remember just from that feeling alone how much game were good back in the day

    -the music for every character is awesome i actually want to fight more just for the music

    - micro transactions are present in this game but are so pointless and don't impact your game and i appreciate that a lot

    - the gang is back and there are new members such as Nico and V but also you get to fight with lady and Trish also Nero is so fun to play with and of course the man the legend Dante is back and when you get to play him the game gets so much better he lightens to mood and basically makes the game better because its Dante

    - the ranking style system is really rewarding and i always try my best to get a SSS

    - bosses are awesome and the Goliath fire boss is so much fun because of everything braking and you really feel like fighting something really strong and monstrous

    - the replay value in this game is crazy you can new game plus it with new difficulty every time and still enjoy your self that much

    in conclusion this was the most easiest fun review i had to write for a game simply because devil may cry 5 is that much fun i really recommend this game with a smile and this brings me to the final score my final score to devil may cry 5 is an easy nine out of ten    … Expand

Definitely a "I want to feel like a demigod" experience.

    This is all the more enhanced by the phenomenal graphics and sound design. The soundtrack in particular being a note worthy aspect, with awesome battle themes that ramp up in intenssiveness as you get more stylish rankings, which makes getting top rank more adrenaline pumping than ever! The graphics that had already shown their spectacular design in previous Capcom games have lended their amazing detail and glimmer.

    At last, the story, a story with plots that had been left open ended for so long have had their loose ends tied up quite nicely, I won't say more than that.

    In conclusion, definitely worth a play or two, and don't worry about not knowing too much story wise, there's a quick story so far in the menu to get you caught up. So get ready to rock, because DMC IS BACK!    … Expand

For me, Devil May Cry 5 is more a combat game separated in different levels than an action/adventure title. The game can be completed in a short amount of time (10-12 hours for a skilled player) but has great replayability.

    To be honest, I started this game with high expectations (my wife was really looking forward to see me play this game). Both of us were a bit disappointed as we were expecting a GOTY (9 or 10/10). Why exactly ? Here are a few weaknesses we noticed:

    1. The level design is weak and lacks creativity. The levels feely samy (especially past mid-game)
    2. There are no puzzles anymore...
    3. My wife (who is a backseat gamer) found that the game on Devil Hunter difficulty lacked challenge (the satisfaction is not the same as DMC 3 when we beat a boss). Maybe, it's because the yellow orbs are so abundant. For me, it was ok but my wife prefered DMC 3 for the challenge.
    4. The story was a bit weak...

    However, this game is still really great because of all the options it offers in term of combat. You also have 3 playable characters who have unique styles. To fully enjoy this game, keep in mind you're playing a combat game which is a playground where you can try so many combos and styles. Don't expect an adventure / action with rich levels and exploration.

    I consider now trying a few levels on the higher difficulty levels to see how it goes :)    … Expand

    Let's go to the game itself DMC V brings us a frenetic gameplay as it already is and tradition with a great variety of weapons, enemies and frenetic action that is packed by a soundtrack that perfectly matches the visual of the series, a story not made for raise big questions but follow the well-known novel by the Sparda family being accompanied by a group of charismatic characters that work very well in this context. As for what doesn't work so well, we have the level of design, the design of the stages is very limited, repeating itself several times and giving the impression that we are walking in a large corridor several times, we also lack creativity despite this game being set in London could be in any generic city.

    Well short for those who want to know what a DMC experience is like V it's like playing an old game but in a positive way DMC is not a great cinematic experience that will make you question human existence no it just wants to be so **** fun, and it manages believe when you start playing soon you'll be juggling demons trying to achieve the highest possible note the game mechanics are so round that it's easy to waste hours just playing with the various weapons and possible combos the only downside is the slight alternative at the end and that the game ends abruptly but a delivered experience is so exciting that you'll soon want to start a new save to test out new possibilities.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Devil May Cry 5 is an over the top ridiculous game that makes me so happy to play. The Devil May Cry series hasn't been seen for a while, but now it has come back with one hell of a bang! Bringing back all the old, with lots of great new, is exactly what I want out of an action game. With fast fluid movement, a ridiculous amount of combos, that make it a game you can just mash a button or carefully chain moves together but have fun either way. Old favorites like Dante, and Lady, as well as new faces like Nico and V, DMC5 has a lot for old and new players to enjoy. The story is silly with a very Japanese feel. It's a great background for what the beauty of the combat, bouncing between three playable characters (Dante, V, and Nero) who all have fun and different play styles. Nero with his interchangeable robot arm, V with the two demons he controls, and Dante who plays like Dante with 4 styles and a bunch of weapons that you unlock right to the end of the game. Such as dual wielding motorcycles. There is a style of play for everyone. And for anyone looking for a game that is replayable, this game is perfect with a range of difficulties, and the ability to replay levels with a different character. DMC5 is great for a boring day with nothing else to play. Overall Devil May Cry 5 is a game that I would recommend to most. While this game does technically have microtransactions, there is genuinely no real reason to buy them as the game itself has all the options you could possibly want or need.… Expand

    First of all I must say that this is not my kind of game. I played devil may cry 3 many years ago and I don't remember much but I think the gameplay dynamics are the same.

It has a lot of action and during the battles you don't stop smashing buttons. This game has 20 missions that last about 30 minutes each one so it will take you about 11 hours to beat. I started the missions in demon/devil (don't remember the exact name) of difficulty and because I found it a bit difficult in the third mission I change to human difficulty (easier). My advice is that you choose human difficulty from the begining if you don't want any challenge and want to focus in the plot although I must say that it gets very easy until the end when I died twice in a battle but I have plenty of items to revive. But if you start with demon/devil difficulty and then you want to change to human you'll have to do all the missions again so think it well before starting. Good plot and good graphics although as I said, not my king of game, too stressful, ugly enemies and blood.

    Dmc5 is one of the best action games I've played in a long time. I played Gow18 last year and was put off the by all the walking in the game. Nier Automata had annoying tacked on RPG stuff. Dmc5 has neither. It's just pure action.

Nier Automata had annoying tacked on RPG stuff. Dmc5 has neither. It's just pure action.

    There are 3 playable characters. Dante and Nero are great, V a little less so. He summons beasts to fight for him instead of direct combat. He takes some time to get used to, and I didn't like his character much, but overall he's a net positive. All 3 have FANTASTIC battle themes, but they play for EVERYTHING. They really do outstay their welcome.

    The great combat is still here. There are lots of cool additions to Dante's moveset (which I won't spoil here) and you can use them to great effect.

    One let down gameplay-wise is that the game is fairly easy on the normal mode. I don't why anyone would want a Dmc without challenge, so I highly recommend playing on the hard mode. I think 3 difficulty options would have been better, but it's a small nitpick.

    As I mentioned, V's character is bit of a let down, but that's not the only issue story-wise. The villain isn't really very menacing, and the game's final arc is never resolved, leading to a weak conclusion.

    However, this game is great in spite of all that. This game is a must-play for anyone who enjoys pure action games. Maybe it's a sort of relief after playing Gow2018. Either way, highly recommend.    … Expand

    I loved almost everything about this game. This game was so close to beating DMC3 S.E in my mind for best DMC game. The only problem is 1/3rd of the game is marred by this one. annoying. fragile. man.
    I absolutely hated playing as V. It was so boring I would actually fall sleep or I would have hand pain from mashing the attack buttons over, & over, & over, & over, again until the enemy eventually died.
    Nero & Dante were an absolute blast to play with. Both unique & complex. V was just mash both attack buttons until they die. Also jump out of the way sometimes. Completely boring & killed the flow of the game.

    I was planning on playing this game over & over again until I got to the hardest difficulty. I was planning on maxing my characters out. That was until I played as V & realized I would have to play 1/3rd of the game over & over again as that boring character.

    2/3rd of this game is a 10 out of 10. It's just too bad that it's ruined by V. I honestly celebrate when he would go away or I would get to play as a different character.

    This game was absolutely perfect. If you could just pick who you want to play as for each mission, I wouldn't knock it a point. But the fact that you're forced to play as boring emo guy just kills a portion of the experience for me.

    I loved everything else this game was. The music, the style, the characters, the grandness of the way things are presented. 2/3rd's of a masterpiece.    … Expand

He just doesnt have the depth of Nero or Dante. Level design is also pretty boring. The way Nero gets his new arm and Devil Trigger was really lame and contrived. I know Dmc isnt focused on storytelling but having Nero get his arm back the way he did felt like a cop out so he could fight Vergil without it seeming like bull since without DT he'd be too weak.

    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.
