    This game is the main reason that I got a PS5! What we have here is the absolute pinnacle of the Hack and Slash genre. Vergil feels perfect to play, the game looks amazing and it basically has endless replayability due to its exquisite core combat and abundance of modes.

    This game is certainly one of the best modern videogames. It surpassed DMC4 and 3. Intriging gameplay (every playable has its own style) incredible music, beautiful stage and character design, humorous as always! If you are looking for a good action game, oh boy.... Buy this one!

    The final boss fight alone worth all your money. Just buy DMC 5 special edition. vergil is so satisfying to play and his movesets are just amazing. Do not rush in this game take your time leaning all the movesets, practice properly in the void and you will have a great time. DMC 5 SE is 1010

    I paid 600$ to play as 1 character 1 month early in a game I've already put 200 hours into and I regret nothing. The game of the generation.

    Лучший слешар, но теперь с Вергилием и его комбами и глубиной, новым боссом, парой катсцен и фишек нового поколения консолей.
    Очевидный вин.

    Great experience with this game! Fun gameplay, excellent enemy variation and boss battles. About 12-15 hours of gameplay here with the main story with replay value in additional content and modes. The cutscenes and writing in this game are another +. Would recommend picking up this game!

    A decir verdad se siente corto de contenido a comparación de la pasada edición especial pero tiene cosas que la compensan pero no en gran medida aun así no vale mucho la pena para quienes tienen la versión de anterior generación pero para quienes no lo han probado es una excelente opció

    DMC 5:SE perfects an already virtually perfect game even further. The increased graphics, performance, and loading smooths out the rough edges of the last-gen experience, while the addition of Vergil adds 100s more hours of deep and engaging combat mechanics. Absolute must-buy for action game fans who own a PS5.

    This game is a straight 9.5! Too bad I can't rate 9.5 in Metacritic.

    Pro's: - Playing as Vergil is soul satisfying. - Playing as Dante is soul satisfying too. - Vergil and Dante made me feel like this is one of the best rpg game I ever played. - The level design is amazing. - PS5 Haptic feedback and adaptive triggers for Nero are fun to play and well implemented - 120 fps mode. Of    This game is a straight 9.5! Too bad I can't rate 9.5 in Metacritic.

    Pro's:
    - Playing as Vergil is soul satisfying.
    - Playing as Dante is soul satisfying too.
    - Vergil and Dante made me feel like this is one of the best rpg game I ever played.
    - The level design is amazing.
    - PS5 Haptic feedback and adaptive triggers for Nero are fun to play and well implemented
    - 120 fps mode. Of course!
    - Final battle is so good. It increases the adrenaline rush a lot. A lot.

    Cons:
    - The fire animation is so childish. I laughed the first time I saw that.
    - I noticed frame rate drops during intense battles. Jitters that I haven't felt in a long time.
    - Combat is fun but it can get a little overwhelming with each player having their own combinations.

    Apart from the above points, this is truly one of the best rpg game I ever played.    … Expand

    A great port of an already great game. The faster loading times are a huge boon, as is the improved resolution. Despite the often cheesy one liners, this is an easy recommendation for fans of character action game. It’s priced right, too.

    Faster and more fluent – is there anything else to wish for, especially that the game itself is still amazing? Actually, the Special Edition has much more going for it, including a new difficulty level, new rendering modes (up to 4K 30 fps with ray tracing), and the ability to play as Vergil. Sadly, the new character doesn’t come with his own levels. I also need to point out fps drops in the 120 Hz mode, and lackluster use of DualSense’s features. [02/2021, p.48]

    While light in the storytelling department, there’s enough here to keep fans happy and more than enough stylish demon slaying to keep this series engaging.

    If you haven’t yet played Devil May Cry 5 and you have a new console at home, don’t waste a second and go buy this brilliant action game. If you’re a veteran, just buy the Vergil DLC and be done with it.
