    Very disappointing story, gameplay is fine but forgettable. Glad I didn't have to buy it and just got it from Game Pass

    The gameplay is Amazing! Soundtrack is a ressemble of DMC3 mixed with DmC. One of the best games of the year! Nero model is also incredible.

    DMC5 is fun, fast, and action packed. The game looks incredible, using the RE engine capcom has really pushed their current games to look amazing.

As soon as you get comfortable using one character and their move set you are forced to use another character in the next chapter. 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

    Only played DmC 3 before, as a second entry it didn't fail. Great combat and the variety between the 3 characters is great, mediocre story with a lot of cringey moments, Bosses and enemies are average.

    The graphics are quite good, however the environments can be very dark and repetitive, not making use of these graphics. The demons are also generally of dark colour palettes, not standing out in any way. Even bosses can be quite monochrome.

    The story is quite incoherent due to jumping back and forth in time, and it's only in the last couple of levels that things come together. If anything, it feels like Vergil was shoved in at the last couple of levels to tie together the story.

    The gameplay is where the game shines, as ususal, however other than V it is quite a lot of recycled material. Nero has improved and Dante's moveset is more dynamic, yet the basic weapons and attacks from previous make up 70% of combat. The extra devil trigger is nice but barely lasts ten seconds a lot of the time.

    Overall, this game would be excellent as a standalone title, however the legacy of DMC has this paling in comparison. The microtransactions are also disgraceful and marred my experience also. Get this when it's £20 or less.    … Expand

    Aside from a lack of level variety I don't really have any complaints.
    It's probably the most enjoyable dmc since the original.
    All three characters feel very different and are so much fun to play, especially Dante. Visually it's stunning and while the story wasn't incredible it was quite enjoyable.

    A legit masterpiece, and the best DMC game, surpassing DMC3. The story is great and the OST is a work of art, the game itself is gorgeous with the palette of colors, sounds efects, a stunning visual. The gameplay is impeccable, very fluid and with a lot of deepness. 3 different characters with a totally different playstyle and unique mechanics. The best action game out to date, in my opinion.

    Capcom is back. Even the sounds in the Menu are the same of 3 and 4. This game should get a sequence fast!!! I love every character gameplay and the story is simplie, but cool! The gameplay is so much fun and flows in a natural way.

    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. A 2 to me seems like a fair grade.    … Expand

    As a Devil May Cry fan since I was 5, I could say that: Devil May Cry 5 is the best DMC in the series.
    The combat system is dope. The story is what a 11years later seauel have to be.. A masterpiece.

    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.
