Devil May Cry 5, while seemingly shallow on the surface, conceals its greatest features and true experience for only the dedicated to discover. The satisfaction of finally overcoming a block in the game that held you back for so long is where the real experience lies, and the game demands that you not be weak of heart to reach it. Put in the time and effort that the developers expect of their fans and you’ll truly be able to reap the rewards and see DMC5 for what it is; a truly off the wall, batshit insane romp through the best...

Devil May Cry 5 is the action game that fans of the series have wanted since the fourth entry dropped over 10 years ago. Offering more options for combat and the ability to practice against enemies, you’ll be pulling off stylish combos in no time. Anyone looking for that over-the-top action game needs to look no further than this title.

Even after you beat the campaign, there are countless other modes to go through. On higher difficulty modes, enemies gain new moves and new enemies appear in certain locations. To truly even say you “beat” the game, in my opinion, you should clear the campaign twice. Even then, The Bloody Palace mode was just released for free and more DLC is on the way. Similar to how you replay a fighting game to get better, Devil May Cry 5 demands that you learn the intricacies of its varied cast of ch...

Devil May Cry 5 is frigging great. I think I'll leave it at that.

Devil May Cry 5's few minor flaws are blasted away by one of the best combat systems this side of gaming. Each fight is a treat, each boss is a challenge, and I loved every second of it.

Devil May Cry V (DMCV) was one of the most anticipated game in 2019 and upon the game’s released. It has already amassed a number of positive feedbacks. So, we went and test out the game ourselves and see whether it really is worth the hype. After playing the game, I can officially tell you that this game is by far the greatest game I personally have ever played. Here is our game review.

Man, was I looking forward to Devil May Cry 5 ever since Capcom announced it last year during Microsoft’s pre-E3 conference! Everything looked so promising: the return of classic Dante, my favorite character, Nero, making a well-deserved comeback, gorgeous graphics, the usage of the magnificent RE Engine (also used in Resident Evil VII and the Resident Evil 2 remake), and a dangerously infectious heavy metal theme song. Not long after that, I had the chance of playing an early demo during B...

It speaks volumes that despite Devil May Cry 5‘s obvious issues, it still impresses so much. It’s a game that looks better than anything else available at the moment, and yet somehow runs at a solid 60 frames per second. And its combat is undoubtedly the deepest of any action game, making its linear structure actually not that much of an issue. Devil May Cry 5 isn’t perfect, but it’s a damn good Devil May Cry game. Honestly, I think Ninja Theory’s DmC was better, but in 2019 I’ll accept Devil May Cry 5 with open arms. And I really...

Devil May Cry 5 is back, bringing with it the same hack-and-slash action that made it one of the best action franchises of all time.

I’m going to be playing Devil May Cry 5 weeks from now in the short term and years from now long term. This is the sort of fine-tuned wacky action game the genre deserves.

Devil May Cry 5 is like a swift kick up the arse. Over the last few weeks, games like Far Cry: New Dawn and ANTHEM have left us numb. Somewhat enjoyable, but ultimately, totally disposable experiences. Devil May Cry 5 is an intense reminder of what games can achieve when they have crystal clear focus. It's a linear, highly replayable action game that pulls no punches, and as soon as we tore through our very first demonic enemy, we haven't wanted to play anything else.

Devil May Cry 5 is a wild mess of demonic magic, blood, brooding twinks, butt rock music, kung-fu homage, and joyous gameplay. By the end of it, I had killed literally thousands of demons and watched struggles of Biblical proportions. The experience itself is a blur, but I know two things for certain. The first is that while there’s nary a drop of romance in the game, every one of Devil May Cry 5’s sexy trash protagonists has absolutely fucked. The second is that every bone-splintering, blood-splattering moment I spent with them was a goddamn blast.

Devil May Cry first leapt on to the gaming scene 19 years ago. After Capcom rebranded the concept from a Resident Evil sequel to a brand new IP it quickly became a pinnacle moment in action gaming. Fast paced and bombastic combat, it became the father of an action sub genre of its own.

Though it’s not without its flaws, DMC 5 is a game where action is king. A layperson might think God of War and DMC 5 exist in the same genre, but they don’t. DMC 5 isn’t about going on an epic journey, meeting characters, and uncovering the mysteries of a world. It’s about riding a f**king rocket, flying it between enemies, flipping over a demon and shooting it in the head. It’s about pulling up your hood, taunting the hordes of Hell, and somersaulting sideways at the last second before launching into a flurry of sword strikes. It’s about murdering...

I was playing the game on the PlayStation 4 Pro, and this title is quite the looker. I did not run into any frame drops or any crashes during my playthrough, though I did have some camera issues when I was to close to walls or other objects. These are uncommon, but you should expect to run into them from time to time.

A perfectly judged comeback that’s full of all the wild invention and stylish mayhem fans demand but proves surprisingly accessible and varied for everyone else.

The question of which Devil May Cry game is the best has gotten much easier with Devil May Cry 5. The combat is the strongest the series has seen to date, the story does a great job of balancing all three of its main characters and doling out rewarding bits of its mysterious story at an enticing pace, and the unlockable difficulties, sheer number of techniques to earn, and the upcoming free Bloody Palace DLC will provide a ton of incentive for replayability. It’s good to have you back, Dante and Nero.

From its superb visual presentation to its wildly successful combat system, Devil May Cry 5 is the perfect action game. The developers put all their energy into providing a constant string of exciting, over-the-top battles that push players to the limit and test their abilities to pull off the most stylish combos possible, and the result is a game that keeps a breakneck pace and never slows down. There isn't a single dull moment in Devil May Cry 5, and it's arguably the best game in the series to date. Devil May Cry 5 is easily a Game of the...

Capcom has done it again, re-energising a classic series like never before, and pushing the genre forward in a fresh way. It looks better than ever, plays better than ever. It's Devil May Cry better than ever.

In the end, Devil May Cry 5 doesn’t reinvent the wheel. Instead, it takes everything that fans of the series loved, dials it up to 11 and presents one of the best game in the series yet. Right up there with Devil May Cry 1 and 3 for me. Plenty of combat, the pacing is just right, and a nice amount of content to play through once you’ve reached the end. My only gripe is those blasted microtransactions, which I feel has no place in a game like this. A minor inconvenience in what I consider an enjoyable action game...

Hideaki Itsuno, my hat goes off to you and your crew. It's only March, and yet Devil May Cry 5 is another clear Game of the Year contender. The silly arguments on whether the original DMC or DmC is better can stop now, because DMC5 is here and it’s bloody brilliant. This is a proper return to form for the series, something that fans of both can get behind.

Devil May Cry 5 is a stellar return to form for the series, capitalizing on all the elements that make it great. Charismatic characters and stylish, over-the-top fighting mix together into an experience that keeps you hooked to your seat for the initial 15+ hours, and possibly more as you delve into higher difficulties. With very little beating around the bush, and a combat system that’s easy enough to grasp but takes a while to master, the title successfully pushes you to learn its combos,...

In a stat that will make you whiter than Dante’s stringy hair, it’s been a massive six years since Ninja Theory’s DMC reboot rocked the angrier corners of the internet with its edgy take on Capcom’s action classic. And despite DMC now being considered a series high point for many, Capcom has granted the wishes of the hardcore fans and taken Dante back in-house for this long-awaited sequel to 2008’s Devil May Cry 4.

Devil May Cry 5 is a solid game, and one I'd heartily recommend for anyone who once loved or has interest in the series. For those looking for something more than a beautiful brawler to sink a dozen hours into, you may want to wait for a sale. Still, it's good to see the DMC series back in proper form, and exciting to think about where it may go from here.

DMC 5 is probably the best hack-and-slash game you’ll play all year, and definitely the most stylish.

While DMC5 has upped the series' style and flashiness to heights never seen before, it also packs in a surprising level of warmth and humanity that doesn't completely let its focus on style overwhelm substance. After having waited over a decade, I realize that Dante might be a little older and grayer now, but I'm sure as hell glad to have him and the rest of the gang back again.

It's been 11 years since Devil May Cry 4 and we finally have a sequel aside from the fantastic Ninja Theory reboot.

The Devil May Cry series began with Dante, a lone demon hunter. Today, he’s not so lonely; other playable characters have rotated in over the years, including Vergil, Nero, Trish, and Lady. Devil May Cry 5 expands the cast again with V, a mysterious man who uses demonic companions to fight. V offers a unique approach to DMC’s stylish battles compared to the slash-and-shoot mechanics of Dante and Nero, but his addition comes at a cost: Bouncing among three characters provides fun variety, but it keeps you wading in the shallows of combat too long, rather than letting you dive...

I may have been fairly critical throughout this review, but in the end Devil May Cry 5 is still one of the better character action games you’ll play. Dante is the highlight of the package as his charismatic and highly-diverse skillset lend to the game’s outlandish scenarios. Nero is the same as ever with a couple of new tricks up his sleeve, but unfortunately our newcomer is a bit of a disappointment. V is the most intriguing character from a gameplay perspective, but he falls flat as his demon summons are not at all reliable. While the story feels rushed...

Despite the questionable monetization, Devil May Cry V is an impressive game on the presentation front and a deep hack and slash with a ton of moves, combos, and weapons to master across three unique characters.

Devil May Cry V is the game fans have been waiting for, for better or for worse. It's not the best in the franchise but it's a welcome and stylish return to the original Devil May Cry saga.

Now is a time when Capcom games have been received more positively. A lot has been riding on the success of the company’s most recent game, Devil May Cry 5. When looking at releases like Resident Evil 7, Monster Hunter: World, and the recent Resident Evil 2, the standards for Capcom games have increased. With Devil May Cry 5, we have an elegant blend of a natural progression for the series paired with familiar tropes that fans are sure to love. But does it fit the standards set by the aforementioned installments? In short, it’s a resounding “Yes,” but let’s...

During the final hours of Devil May Cry 5, I started to notice a trend. Time and again I’d end a boss battle or combat encounter and go, “Wow, I can’t believe I just did that.” It’s a game that excels at making you feel cool in every possible way it can, and it has everything you could want from a good Devil May Cry game; it’s just that it all looks prettier than ever before.

Devil May Cry is perhaps not the deepest of games, revolving as it does around slaughtering demons and finding the appropriate key-substitute to open the next door, but it's certainly one of the most stylish and downright entertaining I've played in recent months. It also has plenty of replay value, because although I finished all twenty five missions in around six hours, each time you complete the game you will unlock new modes with more powerful and more numerous monsters, and additional special powers for both Dante and his enemies. In fact, if anything the game was even more fun...
