    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.

    Das erste Spiel auf der Series X durchgespielt. Devil May Cry ist zurück und es ist eine Verbesserung gegenüber dem vierten Spiel, das einfach Schlecht war. Der 5 Teil stellt den neuen Charakter V vor, der ebenso spielbar ist wie Nero und Dante. Das erste Spiel wird immer das Beste sein, aber Teil 5 katapultiert sich direkt auf Platz 2.

Beim Gameplay hat sich nicht viel verändert, zwar gibt es neue Aktionen und jeder der Spielbaren Figuren hat seinen eigenen Kampfstil. Aber wir
    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. Ich gebe 8/10    … Expand

    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 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.
