Nov 30, 2020The definitive edition to enjoy in all the its splendor and without any kind of compromise of one of the most sensational and adrenaline-pumping hack 'n' slash of recent years.

Nov 28, 2020If you haven’t had a chance to play the original, this is the perfect time, but if you have previously played and liked it, and can’t see yourself going back, this won’t change your mind. Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition on Xbox is, quite frankly, the best way to play the game - but it won’t convince you to part ways with your funds if you were lukewarm on the original.

Nov 27, 2020By exploiting the power of Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5, Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition manages to fulfill the original ideas of its developers and to accomplish what the fans of the series have been craving for so long. Nero, Dante, V and Vergil are ready to clash swords against demons, and even themselves, in a memorable journey that can offer loads to the newcomers, but might not fully satisfy old players, who are asked to pay for the game once more.

Nov 16, 2020Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition has a healthy balance of updated systems and features that make it a great introduction to what we can expect from action games in this new generation. Those who haven’t played will get to experience the best this title has to offer while returning fans can push their skills with the Legendary Dark Knight Mode and being able to play as Vergil. While I would have preferred a totally separate new campaign for Vergil, everything here shows how an amazing game can be better. Now, when is that Lady and Trish DLC coming?

Nov 12, 2020Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition is the definitive next-gen Devil May Cry experience. This iteration took what was already one of the best action games of the last console generation and refined everything from the performance to the visuals. Even if you’ve experienced this game before, it’s worth a second look for all of the added enhancements. And if you missed it the first time around, this is the version to play. Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition really is the whole package and a must-play for action fans.

Nov 9, 2020DMC5 Special Edition for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S builds on the excellence of the original release. It's not the most essential purchase, since you will soon be able to buy Vergil as DLC for the original release, but with some new game modes like Legendary Dark Knight difficulty and the new graphical options making the game smoother/prettier than ever before, it's sure to be tempting for fans of the series. Our original review score follows.

Nov 27, 2020This Special Edition completes one of the best hack n' slash in recent years, but its novelties may be insufficient for those who have already played DMC 5.
-
Dec 9, 2020While these upgrades are certainly worth picking up the game for those that never played it, some players won’t find enough here to justify another full purchase. Still, even with those caveats Devil May Cry V Special Edition is a rocking pack that really showcases the new hardware, while still remaining one of the best action games ever created.
-
Nov 26, 2020Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition brings Vergil to the party. The new character gets his own share in the game and you get to complete the whole story as the katana wielding demonslayer. It brings a whole new dimension to this already cool game. Next to that the game has various next-gen upgrades like ray tracing and a higher framerate. You'll have to choose which one you want to activate, so a full nxt-gen experience is out of the question. Still, a worthy upgrade to a brutal game.
-
Nov 23, 2020Stylish with (now) four playable characters, gorgeously rich move-sets and (still) unfortunately micro-transactions. Also it is a little but prettier, a little bit faster and a little bit more difficult.

Nov 19, 2020Clearly, the players who stand to gain the most value from purchasing this re-release are those who have bought or plan to buy a next-generation console and for one reason or another haven’t played or finished the original DMC5 campaign yet, as it is for them that the game will yield the most surprises and offer the most longevity. That said, if I were to draw a Venn Diagram titled “gamer groups interested in buying DMC5:SE” that encompassed the DMC-curious, franchise die-hards looking for new challenges, and brand new 4K60/120 HDTV owners, I’d be willing to bet that there would be a sizeable amount of overlap. Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition is still one of the best looking games of last generation, and if you’re looking for something dazzling to flex the muscle of your next gen console and give your thumbs a serious workout at the same time, you could easily do far worse, especially on Xbox Series X/S where there are fewer standout next-generation games to play.
