    All sizzle and no steak. Graphics are great, but that's about it. The game is basically go in a room, lock the doors, beat a bunch of guys up and go to the next room. This type of game design was popular in the 90's, but is unacceptable in this day and age. This is close to being the most repetitive and boring game I have played in 10 years (and I play everything). Where is theAll sizzle and no steak. Graphics are great, but that's about it.

The level design is so drab (wait until you play level 8) and the story is really bad. This game tries to be God of War and fails miserably. Devil May Cry 2 was better than this!… Expand

    This is one of those games that get high ratings just for not having terrible performace, bugs, having decent story but gameplay is 4/10, simply combat is not fun.

    I'm sure a monkey could be trained to play this game.    … Expand

    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 6 to me seems like a fair grade.    … Expand

    Emo button smashing game with no sense, no ability to play, bad story. Camera and dodge move are so awful. Try ninja gaiden or bayonetta and you will not play dmc another seconds.

    levels are boring, new characters are boring, the combat system is broken, the plot is primitive, the camera is broken, the visual is nasty, the bosses are not memorable, the music is miserable, rock music is not in sight. THIS is not DMC!

    This game is a joke. 30 minutes in and i have literally smashed 2 buttons, the rest is idiotic cutscenes. If you want to make a movie, make a goddamn movie! This is a game!

    Well, this game was not so bad until secret mission 5. But this piece of crap made it insanely bad.

    Les DMC se suivent et se ressemblent… à moins qu’ils ne s’aggravent. Cela reste du « jeu » (?!) presse-bouton à combos (con-bos, cons beaux ?) avec des beaux cons, sortis ici d’un Twilight : poseurs, bling-blings, ridicules… insupportables.

    En outre, ça fatigue le pouce, l’index et la manette et ça fait sa pause et ça prend la pose… toutes les cinq minutes (des fois, toutes les 30 s) pour des cinématiques avec ralentis pour poseurs ; les voix en japonais accentuent le phénomène et la drôlerie pathétiquement beauf de l’ensemble. Notons néanmoins la petite nana « Nico » avec son petit short et ses multiples tatouages dont deux pistolets pointent directement vers son… ah j’adore les Japonais, ils osent tout… mais on peut pas jouer avec « Nico », seulement avec le poseur de base.

    Et pour le reste… eh bien… c’est pas trop vilain et ça tourne à 60 im/s. Mais c’est pas vraiment… beau. Et ça ne suffit pas face à l’ennui qui nous assaille de toutes parts alors qu’on dégomme des démons crabeurks, via une maniabilité déficiente et un système de combat peu clair et fatigant. Franchement, il est temps d’arrêter de produire ces conneries à tambourinage de manette, totalement grotesques et inutiles. Si on veut se faire des démons, on joue à Doom !…    … Expand

    Started the game with the combo set to auto. Tutorial level. First wall jump and the guy couldn't even get on the platform. Seriously Capcom?

    The onslaught of things to shoot, crush or skewer demons with is always exhilarating, and done ample. justice by Capcom’s RE Engine

    At 15 hours long, and with the unlockable Son Of Sparta mode upping the difficulty while switching enemies around, Dante’s latest is both stylish and generously stuffed. Though occasionally intimidating and repetitive in places, you’ll still relish making Satan sing.

    Distilling everything that's made the series great to this point and offering a razor sharp modern take on the combo-heavy character action genre that DMC helped instigate, Devil May Cry 5 is a juvenile-yet-very-adult game for those who like their monsters grotesque, their combat stylish and their demon-hunting boys and girls dumb but outrageously sexy.
