    I had such high hopes for this game and they've all been met! Truly a wonderful game. I wish I could've played as Dante a bit more as I feel he is the heart and soul of the DmC series. It also brings that touch of nostalgia, not too much, but just enough as to remember the first entries into the series.

    This is a really great and cool action game. I think it's great that the fps are stable even though the image quality is good.

    I kinda feel weird about this game. On the one hand I really like the aesthetic of it and the vibe it is going for. On the other hand, it kinda felt like a "look, dont touch" type of world with a combat system that didnt really do anything for me. I get that it is a hack and slash game and that combat arena after combat arena is the main point, but I kinda expected more. I think it isI kinda feel weird about this game.

I guess I will skip Bayonetta then and maybe try out Nier Automata as that has more of a story?… Expand

    Awesome game.

    The gameplay is absolutely perfect. nothing more to say, it is pure FUN. The difficulty scaling is also very good, and the 2 hardest settings truly feel like an huge challenge, expecially if you are going for the platinum. -1 point only for the V sections. They are too spammy and making your pets die in one hit in HaH makes getting an S just boring and tedious, not hard.    Awesome game.

    There's something deeply unfulfilling about the mechanics of this game. It can be beat once on normal difficulty in about a day and a half.

None of the characters felt particularly "fun," I hated playing as V, and Nero was my favorite, but even then, I didn't really like playing as him that much. Dante is the most varied but something about his mechanics felt unsatisfying after getting Nero's EX Gauge ability. I liked the timing aspect of trying to fill the EX Gauge, but they never teach you how to use it. You just have to experiment and I wasn't willing to put in the hours to learn how to do it right by chance alone. It was too frustrating. I'm quitting after about 10 hours, having beat the game once on normal (getting mostly A's or above throughout my first play through) and stopping after getting to the Goliath boss the second time. I just don't see the replay-ability that most DMC fans see. Honestly, I think the combat system could use a little more polish. V is too broken (button mashing with auto-battle gets you an instantaneous triple S score), Dante is outdated, having not changed much at all since DMC3, and Nero needs more polish. I'd also would've like the ability to cancel animations a little to make dodging easier.… Expand

    The story is okay but you are not here for that, you are here for the combat and it's here baby!
    It's more fast paced, flashier, smoother with more complex and unique combat mechanics than all the previous DMC installments making it not only the best hack and slash game but also one of my ALL TIME FAVOURITES! I need to breathe...

    Absurdo. Únicos pontos fracos são a variedade de cenários após mais ou menos a metade do jogo e o mal aproveitamento das personagens femininas. A gameplay é maravilhosa, todos os personagens são muito divertidos de jogar. A história funciona muito bem e me surpreendeu, não esperava uma história decente quando peguei o jogo. Simplesmente incrível.

    I really have no words to describe how good and cool this game is, despite some mistakes in it (like irony and the lack of sense of some characters, acting like children sometimes) DMCV is a very frantic game, being the first DMC I play in my life, and certainly, it won't be the last, sustainable history, charismatic characters and conical villains. With rampant action.

    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.
