    This game is pretty dope. The combat is far better than what we had in DmC, and the story is the better so far.

Capcom have really hit their peak with this game, and they couldnt have done a better job. The game wasnt too short at all, it's not too easy or too hard. You have plenty of options to suit your play style. DMC and Capcom are definitely back to it's roots. 9/10 From me, It's not a 10 only because they are just a few minor issues with loading times and mini bugs but that can be patched out easily. Truly a masterpiece and i hope Bloody Palace comes next month with some surprises!… Expand

If i had to pick out a flaw its that some of the story leading up to DMC5 is only found in the Devil May Cry 5: Before the Nightmare Novel and while the game certainly stands on its own knowing you're not getting 100% of the story from the game is a bit of a downside.

    Simply a must-own game for fans of hack'n'slash and DMC fans in particular. The story is mediocre by standards of games like God of War or The Last Of Us, but DMC has always been about style and combat rather than deep storytelling. This is not the Citizen Kane of gaming, this is the Kingsman of gaming. Its over the top, cheesy and fun as all hell.

This is not the Citizen Kane of gaming, this is the Kingsman of gaming. Its over the top, cheesy and fun as all hell. Quick note on microtransactions: they're 100% unnecessary, combat is complex enough so that progression through skills leaves you learning how to use the character in the best way right up to the end of them game. And so we're all aware I don't think you've been able to fully upgrade any character on the first play through of any DMC game, anyone complaining that you can't without buying red orbs flat out doesn't know the series well enough. The game took me about 18 hours on devil hunter which may seem short, but the game is designed to be replayed multiple times on increased difficulties. Believe me, there's plenty of replay ability.

    Nero plays almost identically to DMC4 which is a shame as they really could've expanded or changed many of his moves. He has a few new ones excluding the devil breakers and by the end of the game his moveset expands nicely, but not enough to not feel like a bit of a rehash. The new devil breakers are a mixed bag: some you'll love and others you'll barely use but on higher difficulties it'll be quite clear what is best to use in what situation and there's a huge amount of counterplay you can do to enemies with the correct setup. I'm only beginning to mess around with this but there's a lot to explore.

    Dante begins the game in much the same way as he did in 4 but very quickly develops a massively new moveset. Some of his weapons are complex and fun enough to carry a game on their own - Balrog being one such weapon that is a joy to use. By the end of the game he's a nigh-unstoppable demigod when played well.

    V is a polarising character: to some he's a breath of fresh air, to me he's boring and brought my fun to a grinding halt on his last couple of missions. There's definitely things to explore with his combat style but he's not for everyone and certainly not for me.

    TLDR: Excellent game. Play and replay. Ignore microtransaction. V sucks.    … Expand

Nero has gained a level of complexity that was not found in 4 with his Devil Breakers. This addition allows to really spice up your moves and abilities thanks to how varied the different arms are with them all having viability in any situation.
    V is a little bit more mixed in my opinion, with his summoner style of gameplay being a bit too passive for my taste, but can still be enjoyable especially to anyone that does prefer to play it more safe.
    The story is also the best since 3, having some really good character moments and revelations, though I do think the writing was a bit tighter in 3 overall.
    I do have to criticize the inclusion of microtransactions, but thankfully they are not too predatory, as they only reduce the grind which isn't too bad except for one ability for each character. Other than that, you can easily get all the gear and abilities for everyone without having to spend an extra dime.
    Overall I am beyond thrilled with the return of classic Devil May Cry and can't wait for the next step in the franchise.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So after about 10 years, DMC5 releases. Not been a fan for very long I must admit. I saw the initial trailer for 5 and decided the time had come...and by the end of the marathon of all the games, so had I. Playing through DMC5 was a treat. I would rank it among the best of its genre alongside DMC3, GOW2 and Bayonetta 2. The tight control of every swing, every step and the sheer force you can put into your attack makes the combat system so incredibly satisfying. Each character plays like a treat.

    Nero is probably my favourite. His simplicity yet oddly high skill ceiling (though nothing on Dante's) makes tearing through enemies such a joy. Hitting every exceed and even occasionally hitting max-exceed just makes the whole experience that much more rewarding. The new devil-breaker arms add more layers of replay-ability and style to Nero's repertoire of weapons. Alongside his returning Devil Bringer after you finish the games, Nero fans will be pleased as punch at his stylishness and flare.

    V is the odd character out in this game. Opting to summon rather than go in and swing a sword, Shadow, Griffon and Nightmare are very fun to mess around with. While not having much of skill ceiling, the crazy combo's and sheer badassery of standing and watching your enemies fall before while you read some poetry is unbelievably cool.

    Dante. How to describe Dante? Stylish. Badass? Hard to use? Yes! Satisfying to learn? Most definitely! Dante has a range of weapons to keep him going- my favourite of which being Cerberus. Switching between styles such as Swordmaster and Trickster to dodge and deal the damage is a treat when pulled off correctly,although I admit Royalguard is rather ridiculous in this game.

    The game looks visually stunning. The rich backgrounds and detailed textures are some of the best in any action game to date. Accompanying this is the music. By god the music is glorious. With the exception of Dante's Subhuman (which I'm still not that fond of), every track fills you with hype. As I reach an S rank as Nero and the beat drops as the chorus of Devil Trigger comes in I can't help but have my mind blown. Much the same as V, when I reach an S rank and hear, "SAVIOUR, BLOODSTAIN, HELLFIRE, SHADOW! HEAVEN ON A LANDSLIDE!" I always grin.

    The story is probably the second best in the series, although that isn't saying much. Vergil's return was incredibly satisfying with Nero having a meeting with his Father that made me giddy. I only wish the game was maybe just 4 or 5 missions longer.

    Overall, DMC5 is great. If I were to look at this game as a critic (which I,m doing right now), this game is a solid 9. But as a fan? 10/10. 12/10. 1000000/10. I love this game and I guarantee any fan will!    … Expand

The music, atmosphere, fighting and the combos are all generously spliced together to give a pleasing and rewarding experience. The reason I landed on a 9 is for the following reasons. The levels all seem similar in design and look. Although this does not take away from this fantastic game a little bit of variety would have gone a long way and the fact that is is unlikely to have any DLC after Bloody Palace is slightly disappointing although it has been stated it may be considered if enough interest is shown.

    Больше всего порадовало, что игра не потеряла своей главной изюминки и осталась таким же японским слешером с кучей пафоса, за который его так любят и ненавидят.
    Но у игры есть и минусы, а главный, пожалуй, это непонятные флешбеки, да и в принципе дробление игры на части. На протяжении всей игры вас переносит то вперед, то назад. То вот вы играете за Неро, то вот вам решают показать, что делал Данте 15 дней назад. И я считаю это огромным минусом, так как вы просто напросто теряетесь.
    Так же есть прекрасный мальчик Ви или в простонародье Виталя, играя за которого вы мечтаете, чтобы миссия скорее закончилась. Конечно, создатели хотели добавить кого-то новенького, отличного от Данте и Него, как видом, так и стилем боя, но это не отменяет, что геймплей за него крайне скучный и все что вам нужно уметь, так это бесконтрольно нажимать на две-три кнопки.

    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

    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

    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.

Cons: - Too short/not enough content: Bloody Palace    After a very long wait we finally get another proper DMC. Does it deliver?
    Short answer: Yes. Could it have been better? Also yes.
    Pro:
    - Three playable characters with different fighting styles.
    - A somewhat cohesive story (for a DMC game it was good).
    - Good graphics, mostly stable frames (60fps targeted).
    - Good DMC-mechanics.
    Cons:
    - Too short/not enough content: Bloody Palace (will be free) only available within two or more months / Later half of the game is stale in comparison to the first, lots of "backtracking" (doing the same things/areas in different perspectives) / Only three to four memorable bosses (unique/balanced/fun to fight) / Not enough weapon variety, combinations possible (exception is Dante, but even for him many skills from prior games (DMC3 & 4) are absent) - In short: lots of repetition for a good part of the game.
    - Lowered skill-gap, more accessible but somewhat less responsive (this can be good but there are some gameplay decisions that stayed in the game that just bug (compared to earlier games)).
    - Re-used assets from prior games (sometimes almost 1to1 taken). Sure it can be seen as fan-service but when they are that prominent (and also mostly the good part of the game) and the "new" features are not memorable, it shows.
    - Long loading screens for everything you do (every menu you open from the title screen, every time you enter shops etc.) - very prominent and annoying.
    - V may be a deviation from classic gameplay but the mechanics often don't work properly.

    The game has 20 Missions where there some that are merely boss-rush modes (f.e. the last 3 missions). The first half of the game is very good and gets you going whereas the later part is repetition and (more) tedious.
    Yet it feels and sounds like a proper DMC after the long wait and for fans it is definitely worth it. But beware that you may not get a DMC3 surprise. Yet a solid hack&slay adventure that warms your soul. It could have been more perfected though (more content, less repetition, more variety of bosses, more gameplay-polish).    … Expand

And to take the conclusion away, it was worth waiting and is by far (yes, i say it) best Devil May Cry every made. Let's Rock, baby.

    Story
    The game starts with a big bang. We fight against the new self named Demon King of the underworld Urizen, unfortunately it doesn't go so well for our heroes and we have to retreat. Oh, yeah. You just don't play Dante here, you play as Nero and the mysterious new character "V". After our butts got kicked, nobody knows what happend to Dante, we find our self one month later in pure Chaos. Demons are all over the town and collecting blood from humans. Giant demonic trees growing out of the ground, everything is destroyed and if nobody puts an end to this, the whole world will be run over by demons.
    That's a really short summary of the plot. The characters are all like able and you meet a few familiar faces (Trish and Lady). Everything feels round. You get what you expect.

    Gameplay
    Typical Devil May Cry or Stylish action gameplay like Bayonetta. Here and there you have some puzzles or jump and run sections, but overall it's a pure action based game like you would expect. The music is Rock, Metal and Electronic and fits perfectly to the combat. Every protagonist (Dante, Nero and V) has his own unique gameplay style. Nero uses a bionic arm which gives him the ability to grab on to enemies, or push them away with a shockwave. He can jump higher with it in the air or let his arm explode in a group of enemies. Every arm has the ability to grab onto enemies to close the distance between them. His metallic arms are build by Nico, a young lady with the goal to become as great of a weapon blacksmith as her grandmother. She drives around in a van and let you buy skill upgrades, mentioned arms or blue orbs which increases your health bar. Furthermore Nero has his sword to send demons fly or slash them in half. You can even charge up your so called "Exceed gauge" to unleash even more damage in a whirlwind of flames.
    V works completely different. His goal is to stay away from trouble and let his "pets" do the dirty work for him. It isn't any less spectecluar to watch though. For example, when the giant golem "Nightmare" smashes through walls or comes flying to the ground and ignites the ground with flames after activating V's Devil Trigger. His other companies are chicken, i mean Griffon for long range- and Shadow for close range combat. It's really satisfying to reduce the health gauge of your target and jump right in to land the last blow with V, since non of his demons can kill other demons.

    Dante is the most complex character in the game, but also the most fun in my opinion. He can choose between 4 different Styles and can switch freely between them. He gets a huge arsenal of weapons. Which ones i won't spoil. It's a lot of fun to create your own combos or just mash away to your hearts content.

    Conclusion
    If you are a die hard Devil May Cry fan, you probably played through the story already a couple times at this point. But if you are new to the genre or franchise and uncertain to buy it, it's an absolute must have if you like action games. The only negative things i can say are the long loading screens between missions (standard PS4) and the unnecessary Microtransactions (MTX). They just implemented them for the sake of it and for all the praise it became from me i have to lower the overall rating of the game, because of it. Nobody asked for this, nobody wants or needs it. It doesn't effect your gameplay. You get plently of red and gold orbs during your playthrough and on higher difficulties, you just don't hit continue anymore, because continuing would lower your overall rating of the mission. So, why lowering the score you ask. It's pretty simple, because it doesn't have to be in the game. It's already a round package how it is. Why slam MTX in it? I hope publisher and developer realize we don't want that in our games. At least i don't want it. Such a shame. Capcom didn't hit the Jackpot with this decision.    … Expand

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.

    Devil May Cry 5 is a great new entry in the beloved action/hack n' slash series, but I think it's a bit overhyped due to its amazing-looking graphics.

    The story can only be summed up as a monotonous "I got my ass kicked repeatedly and have to take revenge for it each time". There is a giant tree and a demonic invasion but there is no drama. Honestly the story is little more than an    Devil May Cry 5 is a great new entry in the beloved action/hack n' slash series, but I think it's a bit overhyped due to its amazing-looking graphics.

    The story can only be summed up as a monotonous "I got my ass kicked repeatedly and have to take revenge for it each time". There is a giant tree and a demonic invasion but there is no drama. Honestly the story is little more than an excuse for the player to slay demons. As far as characters go, I love it when they do some over the top action or pull off some smart-ass taunts (like Nero vs Goliath). But there are plenty of cringy moments as well.

    DMC5 offers 3 playable characters with different playstyles. Nero is the default hero, he's very straight forward, his robotic arms come with cool abilities, he's got a grappling hook, and is the easiest to learn. V is a summoner who deals damage with his pets and has to finish off enemies with his cane, but the pets are too random to control directly. Dante has the most moves and styles but the way the game is structured you don't have enough time to master all of that. The are a few chapters that can be played with multiple heroes.

    Graphics in DMC5 are amazingly detailed. Even the teeth on Dante's mouth during an early cut-scene are almost too realistic. This game runs at 60 fps on PS4. Soundtrack is good, too, with some catchy tunes playing in the background.

    Despite all the shiny graphics, DMC5 at its heart is a PS2-era game. That's both good and bad. Good news is, action is great and satisfying, launching enemies and pulling combos is a joy, and the boss fights are good (if not particularly memorable, apart from the Goliath fight and the final fight). The bad news is, fights always occur in self-contained arenas that can't be escaped. Level design is just what I said, it's PS2-era like, it's linear with little exploration available and lots of invisible walls. But the worst is that the game forces you to first play on 2 difficulties that are too easy for any seasoned gamer (let alone DMC veterans). I played through to the end on Devil Hunter and it was mostly a walk in the park, but in the final few chapters there is a noticeable difficulty spike. The next difficulty Son of Sparda is more like how I'd want my first contaxt with the game be, it's just the right amount of challenge for me.

    There are microtransactions in DMC5, but there is no need to pay for them. Thankfully the game is already generous enough with what it provides, and it's not artificially rigged to force players to pay to win. When you are defeated, you have the option to either give up and start over a checkpoint or continue fully healed. It's strange to see this in a hack n' slash game, but at least DMC5 gives different people different options.

    Overall Devil May Cry is a great game. I just wish it was a bit better in the story and some design aspects, but maybe next time.    … Expand

For me personally I would of loved the game to just be dante, I dont really care to play as the other characters. The story is really good and i feel like this game was just a set up for the next game and the future events. the main story is only about 10-11 hours long which is unfortunate because i really would of like another 10 hours with the game. There is a lot of replay-ability though if you want to complete challenges and also try to get higher scores on your next play-through, also harder difficulties. Great game looking forward to the next one. I bought the game for $30 well worth it at that price.… Expand

    I'm no DMC or action game expert (you can read other reviews for more informed opinions comparing this with prior titles in the series - some of those reviews are very good and accurate), but so far this game is a lot of fun. The graphics, sound, presentation, cutscenes, voice acting, menus, and extras are all top-notch. Really a huge difference to my other recent purchase, Dear or AliveI'm no DMC or action game expert (you can read other reviews for more informed opinions comparing this with prior titles in the series - some of those reviews are very good and accurate), but so far this game is a lot of fun. The graphics, sound, presentation, cutscenes, voice acting, menus, and extras are all top-notch. Really a huge difference to my other recent purchase, Dear or Alive 6, which was extremely bare-bones compared with this. You can tell real love and care has been put into this game. There'a a helpful video included which details the story from the previous DMC games (although YouTube retrospectives are better), and also a tutorial mode where you can select your weapons, enemies, and edit various parameters, so people new to the series won't feel lost. There's also a well-structured way to replay missions and see your ranks and progress, as well as hidden missions and various difficulty settings, so even though it's a single player campaign, it should last a long time. I think I read a review which said this feels like a PS2 game, and in some sense that is correct, as it's sticking to a classic formula of gameplay and keeping things pretty simple. The ability to play as different characters is welcome and needed to spice up gameplay a bit, but overall the simplicity isn't necessarily a negative. On the other hand it certainly isn't pushing any action game boundaries like NieR: Automata or even the upcoming Sekiro.

    Having completed the game once, here are a few things I would like to see changed / added:
    1. There are invisible walls throughout, which for a game which has an element of exploration and finding hidden areas, can be a bit annoying.
    2. The levels are generally well designed, but can certainly feel generic, repetitive (narrow area followed by wide open area for battles, repeat, then boss), and a little empty, especially in the latter half of the game. The game is set in a London-like city, but more could have been done with this! How about something inside a museum? A shopping centre? An arcade? If there's one big let down, I feel the level design is it.
    3. I feel the game world could use some more NPCs to interact with during missions, even just a few. Maybe some survivors here and there with something to say, not much.
    4. You can't combine wall jumps and double jumps to reach higher areas for some reason, so even after purchasing the double jump ability you can still only reach the same height as a wall jump, which is odd.
    5. Nico's van is screaming for some sort of mini games! Would definitely fit the feel and aesthetic of the game.
    6. The ability to purchase red orbs from the PlayStation Shop could be seen as negative or positive, as it lets you acquire skills quickly but is also sort of cheating.
    7. Yes there are three playable characters, but all are moody white dudes. Let us play as Nico, Trish, Lady, or Morrison, even just for one small section or a mini game / New Game Plus mode.
    Overall though these are minor points (apart from the generic / repetitive level design which really is a shame) in an otherwise highly polished and enjoyable experience.

    I got the Deluxe Steelbook from GAME UK for £55, £15 more than the standard edition, which is very reasonable for a Deluxe version these days (not EA or Ubisoft rip-off joke prices, not that I purchase their games anyway). I'd say the best features of the Deluxe edition are the ability to select music tracks from past DMC games, additional Devil Breakers (arm weapons), and the live action planning stage versions of the cutscenes, which are only in Japanese, but pretty hilarious. Then you have the ability to select voice overs for the ranking announcements and title, and the extra costumes. Oh and a Steelbook of course. Yes, the extras are a download code, like every other game these days, but that's just life.

    So overall, a great game - nothing groundbreaking but fun nonetheless - with some minor points I would have liked to see addressed. 8/10. Certainly not perfect and a shame they didn't include some of the things above or design the levels with more variety. Well worth it even for newcomers to the series like myself.    … Expand

    Capcom’s second outing of the year is a return to form of the Devil May Cry franchise, which has not gotten a new installment since 2008 (if you don’t count the 2013 reboot). Running on the now popular RE engine previously used only for Resident Evil games up till this point.

    Capcom’s second outing of the year is a return to form of the Devil May Cry franchise, which has not gotten a new installment since 2008 (if you don’t count the 2013 reboot). Running on the now popular RE engine previously used only for Resident Evil games up till this point. Will this game be as good as some of the previous installments or will it be as mediocre as the 2013 reboot?

    The plot of the story is pretty simple, a new demon is trying to take over the world and Dante is asked by a mysterious new character to kill it and save the world. This new threat proves to be too powerful for Dante to take on alone. While Dante tries to find a way to take this new demon out, the mysterious character that contacted Dante, who is named V and the Devil Hunter Nero make their own plan to take out this demon so Nero can get revenge for the demon taking his arm. The plot can sound a bit complicated with the number of things going on but I would say you need no knowledge of the series to be able to enjoy this story. If you have played the previous games, there are plenty of nods and other detail that longtime fans will be happy about. I have only played the first 2 DMC’s (so far) and the reboot so I was a bit scared I would not get what was going on in this installment but the story is a great time regardless if you’re familiar with the previous DMC games or not. Well written with a bit of cheese at times, makes DMC 5 story a goofy and fun time throughout.

    Throughout the game, you have 3 unique characters that have varying play styles. You start off with Nero, he has a pretty standard sword and gun for these type of games. Attacks using those methods are pretty satisfying but what makes him special is his robotic arms. With 8 different arms to choose from that do various things like shocking and drilling. There is never a dull moment when playing a Nero section. Next, you get to play as the new character, V. Out of the 3 characters, I found his segments the least fun. For the most part, the character does attack enemies, his pet vulture and cougar do most of the fighting while V only does the last finishing blow. I found these sections boring due to how easy they were. Getting max style rank was easy due to how far you are normally away from the action. Some parts of V missions were also annoying to do due to the animals deciding to go off in different directions and not attack the enemies that you are trying to target. Every time there was a V mission, I wanted to rush through it to get to the next part but at least he gets very few missions overall. Last but not least is Dante, the character that started the franchise. The variety of moves that Dante has is nothing more than breathtaking especially when you use his full arsenal in one big combo move. Dante has his sword, numb-chucks, a motorcycle that transforms into two giant motorcycle swords, melee combat with gauntlets, a variety of guns, a hat that lets him attack using dance moves inspired by Michael Jackson and on top of all these weapons, he can switch between 4 different stances to mix in with any of the weapons. Dante sections alone warrant buying this game due to the amount of time and care that was put into the complexity of his move set. The only downside is that if you’re new to playing hack and slash games or you’re not very good at them, the amount of tools at your deposal can be a bit overwhelming. DMC 5's gameplay is slick and stylish as hell. The gameplay alone is some of the most fun I have had in a hack and slash since Metal Gear Rising.

    DMC 5 presentation is nothing short of spectacular due to Capcom’s RE engine. Cut scenes look like they are strip straight out of a movie due to how real the engine makes everything look. The soundtrack is nothing more than amazing. Every track makes me excited for each encounter. The most notable track being Devil Trigger, one of the best tracks I have heard in a hack and slash in a very long time. Load screens are quite long and frequent thought-out. After each mission, you have a load screen for going in and out of the customizations screen and then another load screen to start the mission and then another load screen after watching the opening cut scene for the start of the mission. This happens after every mission throughout the game. My last complaint is that there is microtransaction in this strictly single player game. You can buy red orbs in this game which is not a big issue since you can get them fairly easily by playing the game but I hope this does not become the new norm for single player games in the future.

    Devil May Cry 5 has a simple and enjoyable story, fast and stylish gameplay and amazing presentation that only held back by some annoying load screens and some boring missions by newcomer V. If you’re a fan of DMC or hack and slash games, this is a must buy game still. Despite its flaws, Devil May Cry 5 is still a great return to form.    … Expand

I feel that DMC3 is still the best game overall, while DMC2 is undeniably the worst. This game basically combines the DmC reboot and DMC4 for an interesting new take on the series. My first impressions tell me this is a good Devil May Cry game, with some minor factors that could be holding it back from achieving the level of greatness that DMC3 is known for.
    The combat is basically everything we saw from DMC4 with some added twists. The Devil Breaker ability for Nero definitely adds another layer of strategy and "style" for the battles. Dante's new motorcycle weapon is fun to use but feels sort of clunky compared to his classic weapons. I love his new Devil Trigger abilities and he feels insanely powerful in this form. The Dr. Faust hat is another interesting new gameplay mechanic that I haven't fully explored yet.
    Then there's V, who is easily the oddball of this game. I remember reading about his play style and wondering how this could work in a game like Devil May Cry, but Capcom has sort of managed to make this work. At first it threw me off a lot because you have to constantly keep him at a distance, but I quickly got a handle on using him and started destroying everything. He even almost seems a little TOO powerful at times, because there were several levels where I took absolutely no damage until the boss fight. It becomes quite easy to maintain an S rank style or above with him, so I still have to wonder if he really belongs in this game. Still a fun and interesting character to use but I'm not sure if he should've been designed for far-range combat in a close-quarters hack-'n-slash game.
    The difficulty feels right, it's definitely a challenging game and there is a pretty steep learning curve. The graphical style and presentation was clearly borrowed from the DmC reboot, which I felt was the best part of that game next to the combat. It would still be nice to have the ability to choose any character to use for the ENTIRETY of the game. I thought Capcom might listen to the fans on this complaint, after the backlash from DMC4. I still enjoy using Nero and his move-set, but his abilities feel sorely limited compared to Dante. These games have always been about Dante and Capcom needs to understand that.
    The micro-transactions don't bother me since I plan on playing through every difficulty and grinding red orbs the whole time. The "censorship" issue seems like the dumbest reason to give this game a low score, because most people will end up skipping the damn cut-scenes anyway!!! Go beat off to some hentai of Trish and Lady if you really need to see it that badly.
    All in all this is a very well crafted Devil May Cry game. People saying this is "the best DMC ever" seriously need to go play DMC3 if they haven't already. And if you have, then shame on you. It's definitely not THAT good but it nails many of the series' trademarks. I'd say it's about as good as the DmC reboot was, despite all the hatred that game received. After playing through the higher difficulties and earning the platinum, I can definitely confirm that this is indeed a true-to-form Devil May Cry game. I would not give it lower than an 8, nor higher than a 9. I think my actual score would be 8.5.    … 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

You’ll often be hitting a body that’s knocked to the ground and the hits do take a while to kill these guys. I’d rather have more enemies with lesser health swarm me than 2-3 that are rolling dead bodies getting slammed by all my attacks til they vanish.

    The Layout of the maps is at times really brilliant and other times bare bones, like empty streets as you pass through.

    Lastly the game doesn’t allow you to pick up and choose which character you want to beat the game with. Your stuck having to play one character per mission and at other times you’ll have the option to select up to two different characters for the mission. Can’t run all the levels as Dante which in comparison to others like V make you want more Dante. If the game were faster, like the past titles and made the enemies health points based on difficultly and offered the choice to play as any character then without question this game would be the action game to play over and over.

    Aside from these gripes the game really is an improvement on visuals and immersion. The story could of been more engaging, but instead it takes it time jumping through each story of the characters which is a bit distracting.

    My hopes is Capcom keeps up the game series and locks on what it does right. It happened after dmc 2, leading to part 3’s edge.    … Expand

    This game was difficult to master at first but once you do, ohhh man it gets wild. The standout is the gameplays variety with Nero, Dante and V. I found the platinum trophy immensely tedious more than challenging, since it requres you play the game about 6 times. but apart from that, what a game

    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

    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.
