    So many things to say about this game, so little time. What you’ve got to keep in mind is that unless you deep dive into the mechanics of this game it’s hard to rate it fairly. But the game is polished, complete, and has the best fighting mechanics in any action game to date(pros might argue DMC 4 for that). I love this game. There’s so much replay value and the skill ceiling is prettySo many things to say about this game, so little time.

There’s so much replay value and the skill ceiling is pretty high. There’s always more to learn and once you get really good, it straight up feels empowering.

    But this game. Love it. Cherish it. There’s something very special about it.

    Devil May Cry 5 é um jogo incrível que possui um gameplay insano, uma historia épica e uma trilha sonora espetacular. Recomendo fortemente esse game para qualquer um, os gráficos são espetaculares e a história prende você a todo custo. Os personagens possuem diversos combos e habilidades diferentes, de longe é o melhor Rank Slash da história, a capcom acertou em cheio!

    DMC 5 returns to show the world why it called the king of fast pace action game. The gameplay, graphic, music, cinematographic in this game is just on another level that most other games wish they can come close to.

    The ultimate action game experience, the combat system is such a well executed easy to learn hard to master model that makes me wonder how anyone could balance a system so well without slipping up anywhere in the process.

    The long awaited sequel finally shows itself, and comes back with a bang! A true return to form, DMC5 is the best the series has to offer.

    First, gameplay...wow, as tight and stylish as ever. With the enhanced visuals and animations, along with the tight controls and awesome moves iconic to the series, you will feel on the edge of your seat as you battle with the spawns of the underworld.

    First, gameplay...wow, as tight and stylish as ever. With the enhanced visuals and animations, along with the tight controls and awesome moves iconic to the series, you will feel on the edge of your seat as you battle with the spawns of the underworld. 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!

    Absolutely amazing. This has to be one of the best games in terms of gameplay, characters, and music. The plot is simple, just a standard save the world from demons but that's a staple of all Devil May Cry games but other than that, this game is great. Combat is very smooth and fun for all three characters you are able to play as and each character is unique in their own fighting style.Absolutely amazing.

Combat is very smooth and fun for all three characters you are able to play as and each character is unique in their own fighting style. Unlike the previous games where I felt they were only appealing to hardcore gamers, this game is simple for new players to understand and get a feel for each character they play.

    Overall, this game is worth the price and if you can get it during a monthly deal for even cheaper, buy it. You will not be disappointed in the amazing things it does. This game gets a 10/10 and a SSS rank for Devil Trigger, Crimson Cloud, and Subhuman alone.

    I can't understand the story and the game is full of fanservice. Graphically it's perfect, it could only have more nudity.

    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.
