    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.

    Amazing and very fun game with a lot of replay value! Now this is the Devil May Cry games all true fans and all true gamers wanted and deserve! The graphics and animations are excellent, the gameplay is extremely good with a lot of variety, Dante, Nero and V all have different and refreshing play styles! You really can't go wrong with this game if you are a fan of action oriented games! BUY IT!

    I can't believe I'm saying it but there's too many weapons and too many characters. Rather than focus on one or two awesome weapons with complex move sets, you get tons of not very good ones. I had access to a range of almost identical combos pretty early on. The button combinations were too similar and damage outputs were practically the same. This left me just spamming one or two moves as I lost interest in using new moves and getting S rank combos. The combat is easily the worst of all DMC games.

    There was no build up to improving your character like previous games since you can buy all the moves and combos early on. I missed the anticipation of being able to afford new moves and slowly increasing in power. The sense of reward was totally missing from the game.

    You switch characters often and never really get a good play session with just one character. The combat is so bad though, the frequent switches ended up not really mattering.

    The story is awful. DMC games are always a bit daft but usually coherent and fun. This was just plain boring.

    The level design sucks so bad! Especially in the later sections of the game. No cool gothic design like previous games, just boring organic looking corridors.

    The worst part beside the game play was the V character. He's literally the 'Internet nerd in a fedora' meme. I cringed every time I had to play as him or watch his cut scenes. Combat using V is incredibly dull too.

    I appreciate Capcom bringing back the Dante we all love. But the DmC reboot was way better than this. And DMC 4 utterly blows this installment out of the water.

    Skip this or buy it when it's so cheap it's practically free.    … Expand

The storyline is straight up garbage, V is boring to play as, since he is OPAF, Nero is taken straight from DMC 4, almost all the same moves,combos ETC, with new Devil Breaker mechanic(which is simply boring and unfun to use, and there is even a hand,that acts exactly like his demon hand from DMC4).

    Story too short and simple, combat system is playing like the street fighter hack and slash. As an adult serious player, you will dislike this game. I don't think this is a masterpiece. If you want to play a rich story telling game, go for Persona 5. If you want to play a great combat system game, go for God of War. DMC5 is nothing, it's just a kids' and teenagers' product.

    Game is alright... I guess. My favorite DMC is third part. Its one of my favorite games for PS2. And I am not a hater of DMC reboot. I think If you are die hard of Old School DMC you would be satisfied.
    However, in my opinion game has stuck at 2004 and in terms of the story it is way worse than DMC3. Combat is fun and it has lots of variations but Bayonetta did it better.

    Story is very predictable and many people would say it does not matter but for me it does. I wanna be emotionally invested to the characters to have any care and have a better immersion to the game. This part fails dramatically even for DMC series. I did not care about anything. Some characters are very cringeworthy and not funny as Capcom writes might have thought.

    Cutscenes are very well made but there is not much action happens. Its always stops at the most interesting moment. You do not have any satisfaction from it like it was with Dante Vs Virgil fight at DMC3 and how epic it was.

    And the most embarrassing part is level design and art of these levels. They are very generic like its ps2 game. It is not what you would expect from AAA game in 2019. This game has a photo mode for some reason, why it needs it when there is nothing to capture other than same looking corridors. Bosses are very unforgivable. They reuse bosses. Only final boss made me excited for a little bit.

    Overall, I am disappointment. DMC (2013) was universally hated but I think it had better levels, better story. Yes, main characters are far more likeable here but game overall is just fine    … Expand

Vale que la gente lo quiera por su nostalgia, sus gráficos son espectaculares, pero la jugabilidad es bastante mediocre, a parte la historia es mala no, lo siguiente, prácticamente nula. Hay muchos hack and slash bastantes mejores que este. Sobrevalorado al 100%, un saludo :)

I pre ordered the game ahead of time & patently waited for it's release....... Just to be disappointed omg first the story line was completely trash! All the same moves and acts from dmc4. The missions was completely short literally. I completed the game in under 5 hours of playing, I was expecting way more than just a couple hours of playing. It wasn't at all anything i expected. Each stage at best is about 3 minutes of fighting, literally even on Demon Hunter Mode. I wish i could get my money back this is sad, I'm a very disappointed fan right now.

Kind of a let down and its obvious the DMC team is still pushing Nero hardcore. The game is also pretty easy not sure where the difficulty went but its almost non-existent and the characters look like a mash up of DmC with characters from Rob Zombie films, anyone who cried about DmC cannot claim that this is any better, maybe they should have just continued DmC....And this is someone who's been playing DMC since the first game came out, someone who played the REAL DMC3 not that garbage watered down special edition, the REAL DMC3 that was tough as nails..Really disappointed in DMC5… Expand

Cons: - Too short/not enough content: Bloody Palace    After a very long wait we finally get another proper DMC. Does it deliver?

    - 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

    Nero and Dante have some neat additions to their gameplay and the combat Is still great even if some things are worse than 4 it's still vary similar. it's still DMC.
    but to be honest the game is very rushed and lacking in content. most of Dante and Neros moves are just ported over from DMC 4 and there's not enough new content added to justify this game being called DMC5.. it's more DMC 4.5
    V sucks. his gameplay is crap both in terms of function and fun. he has no depth, he is over powered and was a huge waste of development time. it's also insulting that we can't play as Vergil even though all his assets are there in the game.
    worse still is the fact that you are forced to play as V every playthrough. in another terrible design decision, you can't freely select which character to play as in missions and there are a whopping... 20 missions.
    that's right they actually split 20 levels among 3 characters. another terrible decision. put some effort in. either give us a free character select or give each character their own 20 mission campaign.
    and many of these missions are not even levels.
    Prologue - is a very short tutorial followed by a boss fight.
    missions 6, 17, 18, 19, 20 are all just boss fights.
    missions 4, 5, 9, 14 - are all forced V missions

    leaving only 11 levels that are remotely worth playing. (dante really only has 4 levels of his own)...
    and the level design in these levels is garbage. there is no platforming, no puzzles, it's just bloody palace mode with more walking and some tedious reused nidhog hatchlings (they're basically keys but have the most boring and uninspired execution both in visuals and how they work in levels). some levels are city areas that looks OK. most are the demon tree which looks terrible and bland.

    remember the director Itsuno came out on stage and said the game would exceed everyone's expectations what the actual hell was he talking about? it doesn't even seem finished.
    V sucks and actively makes the game worse, there's no content. no turbo mode, only 1 set of costumes to unlock, no boss rush, no multiplayer.
    they advertised this game with coop multiplayer but you can only do that in ONE MISSION. one in the entire game, no multiplayer for bloody palace or other levels and no local multiplayer. talk about completely misusing a system your programmers had to work hard on.

    Boss fights are pretty good.. some suck like Gilgamesh and King Cerberus, other are pretty nice. but they never even approach the best bosses from other DMC games like Vergil 3 and Credo. there's an inherent flaw in their design philosophy. where as previous DMC boss fights tended to be fast, up close and aggressive. the Pacing in DMC5 boss fights is all screwed up. they tend to be very focused on running/teleporting away from the you. Bosses like putting huge distances between themselves and the player and then spamming projectile attacks. the bigger bosses also feel much less satisfying to cut up thanks to the realistic look.

    Lastly the Realistic Resident Evil engine look is hideous and lacks any semblance of style.. the very style we've come to expect from the series. the face scanned models look awful with the 1 exception of Nero who only looks weird sometimes. in general characters look like disgusting cosplayers. it also has a negative effect on visibility in gameplay.    … Expand

    - Why do I have to load inside the menu screen? Remember how smooth is it to bring up the menu, swap style/weapon in DMC3 and DMC4. Even DMC is smoother.
    - Why there are so many enemies that can escape when you are punching the **** out of them?(Insert "git gud" automatically)
    - Who designed the score system? Had this person played M8, M10, M12 in DMD?
    - Why Lady is so passive in this game? She was on fire in DMC3!
    - Why Trish had trouble holding V? She is a badass demon(in DMC she jumped up cliff like nobody's business).
    - I still can't believe Vergil banged someone and left a child behind. There was simply no way they could come up with anything sensible. Think about it, Vergil didn't knew Nero was his son, which implies that he banged some girl without protection and ghosted her, never looked back.
    - I still can't believe Dante don't have a son. Why? I remembered that when Mundus said "I will be back", you throw back "say hello to my son will you?" Where is your son?(I don't even care about your wife, maybe you can do what Vergil did)
    - You fight Urizen in Prologue, M8, M10, M12...
    - King Cerberus is weaker than Cerberus in DMC3, seriously. He was never a threat under any difficulties. (The weapon is really really awesome)
    - Except for the Knuckle, Nero gains no new move sets in his matured DT form. For people who had played DMC4, this is laziness.
    - Kalina Ann left/right/duel, three guns, there you go...
    - The Devil Sword Sparda works exactly like Rebellion
    - One of Cavalier's moveset is behind the pay wall?
    - In DMC, you can unlock the Legendary Dark Knight costume by just playing the game. It replaces Dante entirely, including his initial weapon, his combat music. In DMC3 SE, Dante has SIX costumes, now...
    - In DMC3, Dante's DT form changes based on what weapon he is using. Why abandon this great, great idea? Also, hire the person who designed DT in DMC3 back. It looks very ominous and mystic. Now it looks like some generic costume on a Halloween night.
    - Remember the costumes for Ashley in RE4? Can we have some costumes that are not just recolored version? I bought the Delux version, and I confirm that there is no costume making Lady show more of her cleavage.
    - I miss the Gothic DMC
    - I love the original DMC, I love it so much that I couldn't understand what happened to Dante. In DMC, he was playful, but still mature and somber lot of the time. In DMC5, he is most clownish.    … Expand

    The gameplay is fun, the new character V is a breath of fresh air, but this game have a full problems.
    The environment is uninspired, boring and small.
    The story is the same: crazy from tower in the middle of a city.
    The combos aren't fluid like dmc.

    It hurts to say but dmc is better in almost every way

    I will say, the one thing that keeps this game from being a perfect 10 for me is that like always, Dante's gameplay is a huge cut above the other playable characters, meaning playing as anyone but Dante, feels like you aren't having as much fun as could with the game.

    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

    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.

    DMC5 introduces a brand new story and a lot of fun.

    The story is quite interesting but the main purpose of the game is to replay it on different difficulties.

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.

    This game looks visually beautiful and both artistic and technical graphics are great.
    the combat feels outdated and it lacks depth. But still it's exciting and is acceptable for a hack and slash game.
    the story is not that emotional or engaging but it makes you keep playing and it never gets boring or pointless but comparing to previous year's gow, rdr2 and spider man it's like a joke.

    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

Devil May Cry 5 is such a good game that meets the requirements of being fun and having a good enough story to keep you engaged and wanting more.
    The story has you follow three heroes now during this apocalyptic demon invasion. You control Nero the hero from the 4th game with his brand new robo-arm instead of that boring old demon arm. You have new comer V who is if Hot Topic decided to vomit on my screen and that vomit transformed into a character. Last of course you have Dante who is… well Dante but now with stubble. The game manages to balance the three protagonists fairly without focusing on one more than the others. The way the story is told is also interesting taking a page out of Tarantino’s book and tell the story jumping back and forth until you get the conclusion is nifty and keeps you engaged. I dug the fact if you are new to the series you can still pick up this game and not be completely lost on what is happening. Let’s be real no one come to the DMC series just for the story they stay for the gameplay.
    The gameplay is Devil May Cry at its finest. This game reminds you why DMC is the master of the hack and slash genre. Being that you have three heroes you probably wonder how they play? Each hero is very unique in how they are controlled. Dante being very similar to how you’d expect. Nero has many different arms now that keep the battles interesting and different with each arm. V is the most radically different being that he doesn’t necessarily fight himself in battle. During combat V uses familiars to battle so while you’re jamming on the triangle or square button you also must keep V away from any enemies because he is made of tissue paper and cannot fight. My personal favorite part of this game was the boss fights. Each boss is unique, and pose some form of challenge that I would get excited each time a new enemy would pop up just hoping for a boss fight.
    Overall I loved the hell out of this game. It was about a 12-hour experience that just melted away for me. This is the first game this year I have had a smile on my face the entire time playing. While I wasn’t the biggest fan of V as a character, nor as playing as him the game is still amazing. I cannot praise this game enough. I has been one of the best-looking games this year and best gameplay I have had in month. Capcom is doing great this year I give this game a HIGH HIGH FULL PRICE.    … Expand

    Que decir... el mejor DMC de la franquicia, y tambien el mejor hack and slash de la actualidad, la evolucion de Nero, y el protagonismo (aun que sea un poco secundario) de Dante con Vergil sigue dando esa propia esencia que tiene DMC, una obra maestra.

    The only negatives are the high frequency of loading screens and the unnecessary censorship in a game with a "Mature" ESRB rating.    … 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

    Right out the gate I was excited - the visuals are stunning. The game play early on was decent, but I felt it was lacking fun. The game feels really linear, ultimately, almost as if you're watching a movie that is intercut with you fighting a few lackluster enemies on the streets or paths, which is mostly running from point A to point B.

    Excellent presentation, crazy story, awesome attitude, but the pacing is not good, it lacks (ironically) more action.. those reds orbs you collect just by destroying capsules and environments are hiding the lack of enemies to encounter and to try to balance the level up system which is broken.

    Не буду скрывать, что самой любимой игрой серии для меня стала Devil May Cry 4. Была DmC 2013 года с хорошей боёвкой, не плохим сюжетом, но.... Было одно НО... Игра полностью распрощалась со своим готическим образом и мне это не очень понравилось. (1, 2 и 3 части вовремя не прошел из за отсутствия PlayStation 2, а проходить HD переиздание сейчас, ну это надо быть настоящим фанатом серии).Не буду скрывать, что самой любимой игрой серии для меня стала Devil May Cry 4. Была DmC 2013 года с хорошей боёвкой, не плохим сюжетом, но.... Было одно НО... Игра полностью распрощалась со своим готическим образом и мне это не очень понравилось. (1, 2 и 3 части вовремя не прошел из за отсутствия PlayStation 2, а проходить HD переиздание сейчас, ну это надо быть настоящим фанатом серии). Большая надежда была на Devil May Cry 5. Оправдалась ли она?
    На мой взгляд не совсем.
    Расскажу почему.
    Ну первым разочарованием стал персонаж Неро, ещё в демо версии. В четвертой части он внёс хорошее разнообразие в геймплей, его демоническая рука, делала его более лёгким, летучим, мобильным, что ли персонажем по сравнению с "танком" Данте. В пятой же части его превратили, реально, в инвалида с киберпротезами, которые и в сравнение не идут с супер рукой. На мой взгляд Неро оказался самым неповоротливым и неинтересным героем игры.
    Я вообще не очень люблю, когда приходится играть и прокачивать нескольких персонажей, к ним не успеваешь привыкнуть, а в этой игре их три. Помимо Неро и Данте это, некий В или Ви. Геймплей за Ви необычный, он сражается не совсем сам, а с помощью двух демонических животных, чо то типа "орла" и "тигра". Геймплей за него мне, в принципе, понравился и когда стоял выбор за кого играть: Неро или Ви, выбирал последнего.
    Данте же это классический "танк", прёт на пролом, слабо блокируется, использует всяческое демоническое оружие и даже демоническую форму. Короче молодец, претензий нет.
    Теперь, что касается врагов. На мой взгляд их маловато разновидностей, как и боссов. Эпичность боссов тоже сильно пострадала, в предыдущих играх было лучше (Особенно в четвертой части боссы были просто шикарные, хотя некоторые и проходились по два раза). Вообще игра, на мой взгляд коротковата.
    О сюжете могу сказать только то, что он тоже короткий. Вроде напихано много и перерождение Вергилия, и появление в следствие этого Ви, и близкое родство всех этих героев. Честно говоря, с первого прохождения, трудно понять, что вообще произошло. Так как всё это, практически ни как не поясняется, вот есть и всё, что делает сюжет ещё более куцым. Может это задел на продолжение, не знаю. К тому же игра переведена только субтитрами и на мой взгляд дублежа очень не хватает.
    Игра выглядит неплохо, именно неплохо на PS4, звёзд с неба не хватает, в отличии от той же Devil May Cry 4, которая на моём Xbox 360 выглядела просто фиерично!
    Ещё одно расстройство, готические пейзажи так и не вернули.
    Резюмирую. На мой взгляд неплохая игра - продолжение четвертой части. Геймплей разнообразен, картинка радует, сюжет вбивает в голову столько откровений, сколько не было в предыдущих пяти частях. Но в этом и недостаток. Вопросов больше чем ответов. Ждём Devil May Cry 6!    … Expand

    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.
