    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An amazing sequel to an already great franchise! The Devil May Cry series has always been an enjoyable one, and this game is no different. Great combat, a compelling story, characters that you know, hate and loves, and also Dante is back! A game with Dante in it is just perfect. You have to learn how to play different characters, which I think makes the game more immersive.

    I love how you can also play as Vergil if you buy the DLC for it. Sure, the story gets repetitive at that point, but you get to play the story again as a completely new character, the villain! Also, there’s multiple difficulty levels so you can play the game over and over again until you master the game.

    The only thing I really disliked in this game was playing as V. Spoilers ahead: V is the human side of Vergil. Vergil stabbed himself with the Yamato, splitting himself and V into separate bodies. V actually goes to work for the good guys until he suddenly turns when he tries to kill Dante. For starters, I don’t like how his story plays out, and also I hate how his combat works. It’s boring as all of your companions do all the fighting for you and there’s not really any combos to learn as V, his combat is just boring and bland. However, I do admit, V’s companion Griffin makes playing with V much better. I love Griffin as a character and he has an actual motive. His sassy and trash talking personality always make me laugh.

    This game is very good despite a few flaws and is definitely a must play, especially for the Devil May Cry fanatics.    … Expand

    The game starts off as incredible but halfway devolves into some weird cringe anime show. Doesn't feel like they pulled it off, and they got confused with the development halfway. Great gameplay, style and graphics though. Also Nico is a babe.

    müssen immer noch auf die Knöpfe Hämmern um Gegner ins Jenseits zu befördern, am meisten gefiel es mir mit Dante zu spielen, Trish und Lady sind auch mit an Bord aber nicht als Spielbare Charaktere. Die Story ist sehr spannend mit einer tollen Wendung, der Bösewicht ist sehr bedrohlich, und seine Identität einfach genial. Die Grafik ist fantastisch, das Gleiche gilt für den Sound. Leider ist stellenweise die Kamera im Spiel extrem nervig. Insgesamt ist Devil May Cry 5 ein sehr gutes Actionspiel. Neue Charaktere, spannende Story und Dantes Gameplay ist immer noch das Beste.

    After and HD port of the original trilogy and a stupid Emo freaking Dante, Capcom FINALLY brought this series back from the dead. Not only was Dante done right but Nero got what he deserved in the sense of a much more likeable character.

    Not sure how I missed this game and overlooked it for so long. First game in the franchise I played, and 0 disappointment. Aside from the cutting-edge gameplay, lovable characters, and awesome villains, the graphics beat that of even Rocket League, GTA, and other massive titles on the XBOX One. Amazing game.

    Holy crap this is one of the best action games I’ve ever played. Even with having little knowledge of DMC before playing 5, I didn’t feel that lost. It definitely feels like it’s own stand alone story & I appreciate that as a newcomer! The visuals are some of the best I’ve ever seen, Capcom & the RE Engine have been getting back to back W’s lately and I love it.

The slick stylish combat is addictive & it’s appropriately over the top! I definitely have to play the rest of the series at some point. Also the soundtrack is full of bangers & makes the moment to moment gameplay all the more better. Dante, Nero & V are all incredibly fun to play as & they all play differently. Literally cannot recommend this game enough. Also Nero could get it.… Expand

    Thankfully, the Xbox One version of DMC 5 performs better than Resident Evil 7 ever did. Of course, it's still inferior to the PS4 edition due to a lower resolution and less stable frame rate.

The game includes 20 missions, 12 hidden bonus challenges and 6 difficulty levels. Also, the Bloody Tower was added as free DLC. Overall, this is another great addition to the series.

    This game is absolutely badass. I really only have 2 complaints with the game. Using rb to lock on to enemies is fine, but switching targets seemed to be a big issue all game. Combos are difficult and must be timed perfectly, and sometimes just fail to work. However switching between 3 characters and remembering the best combos was my only other problem.

Using rb to lock on to enemies is fine, but switching targets seemed to be a big issue all game. Combos are difficult and must be timed perfectly, and sometimes just fail to work. However switching between 3 characters and remembering the best combos was my only other problem. Nero and Dante are fairly easy to play, and have kickass moves and weapons you can upgrade. V is much more difficult since you have to controls 3 followers, and make sure he doesn't get hit. Also he is boring as hell to play as.

    IDK why I started talking about the things I didn't like because I beat this game in 3 days it was so addicting. If you are a fan of hack n slash games, with cool combos, and weapon upgrades this game is for you. Story is ok, and has a cool ending. Graphics are some of the best I've seen on the current generation of console.    … Expand

    Dentro del hack and slash es lo mejor que ha salido en años. 3 personajes totalmente distintos uno del otro, lo que le da una variedad increíble. Una historia atrapante; los personajes femeninos, especialmente Nico están muy bien. Buenos gráficos y las payasadas de los personajes masculinos son la guinda de la torta. Un DMC como debe ser de toda la vida.

    Gráficos brutales y una jugabilidad profunda y exigente para obtener las puntuaciones más altas.
    Se hecha en falta algo de exploración y puzles durante el desarrollo de las fases, entiendo que el fuerte y objetivo sea el del combate pero aportaría variedad a la experiencia general.

    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.
