    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Questo gioco è il mio preferito della saga ed soprattutto mi è piaciuto molto per la grafica per i personaggi in sè e le missioni ma soprattutto per le boss fight,la mia preferita è quella di dante contro vergil. La special edition anche lei mi è piaciuta molto e vergil come personaggio è fighissimo per le sue mosse e anche come personaggio in sè ovviamente… Expand

    i love this franchise to death and that may make my opinion on this game a bit biased, i think that this game is a top tier hack and slash with beautiful graphics, goofy dmc humor, and amazing gameplay. The gameplay lacks a bit of snap that dmc 3 has and it only feels satisfying when you're playing as Vergil which on the other hand makes the game too easy, the bosses on their own aren'ti love this franchise to death and that may make my opinion on this game a bit biased, i think that this game is a top tier hack and slash with beautiful graphics, goofy dmc humor, and amazing gameplay.

    This is the first DMC I played. For the first 10 hours I honestly didn't get it. It seemed like an easy button mashing game. Also, having to hold R1 felt stupid and finger cramping.
    But then I got the game: you are not meant to defeat enemies here, you are meant to *destroy* them like some black belt master ninja badass. Pulling off those crazy combos switching weapons/styles/moves    This is the first DMC I played. For the first 10 hours I honestly didn't get it. It seemed like an easy button mashing game.

    But then I got the game: you are not meant to defeat enemies here, you are meant to *destroy* them like some black belt master ninja badass. Pulling off those crazy combos switching weapons/styles/moves leaving enemies like "wtf just happened?", and getting an "S" rank is tough, and very satisfying. The skill cap in these games is the highest I've ever seen. The graphics. sound and ost are among the best I've ever seen also.
    After multiple playthroughs of dmc5 I got dmc 1 and 3, and enjoyed those too, be warned that those are much older and somewhat janky.    … Expand

    A must buy game for any Action game fans, especially a DMC fan.
    This is the climax of the entire series.

    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.
