    When one rival put on weight, grew a bushy beard and decided to raise his son in the Northern bewilderness, the other chose a pair of stylish high-heels a couple sizes too small and the third now only appears to smash some oversized ta-tas, Devil May Cry 5 is proving that it is too early to put hack'n slash games out of commission. It's a gorgeous, glorious game of great current interest. A crown jewel from Capcom's most skilled goldsmiths.

    Devil May Cry 5 is one of the greatest masterpieces of the action game genre. I can barely imagine any other games would be qualified enough to compare before Bayonetta 3.

    Devil May Cry 5 is an excellent action game. It's an even better Devil May Cry, perhaps the best the series has seen just yet. It's aesthetically pleasing in ways I never thought possible for the series, and chock-full of love for the fans, oozing out of every pore.

    While it is annoying that Bloody Palace mode is not available day one, it is coming as a free update on April 1st. Capcom has proved this gen that they are truly the best at 3D action games. They took some bold risks with the style and realistic flavour, and it pays off by taking on this new look that has never been seen before in any videogame. Even spectators are going to be extremely entertained by the spectacle that it Devil May Cry 5. Everything feels so fresh, and the advancements in the controls and fluidity in animation makes playing this refined masterpiece so hard to put down.

    Devil May Cry 5 has some real flaws, but the awesome gameplay, underlined by its lovely graphics, and the fan-service that's displayed all around, makes it one of the great games of 2019. A must-have for beat'em all fans.

    Devil May Cry 5’s risk-averse approach grounds it as other games in the genre are reaching for the sky.

    Completed the game and got to say DMC 5 = Destructive & Massive Combination level 5. The game is completely at next level. Totally loved theCompleted the game and got to say DMC 5 = Destructive & Massive Combination level 5. The game is completely at next level. Totally loved the visual presentation of the game. The story is stunning and does come up with plenty of surprises ( until and unless someone spoils it for you ). The character development is extremely impressive. I totally loved the character "V" , his style and the personality was appealing. On the other hand, Dante, as always is way too stylish to handle. Nero start making some good appeal towards the end of the game. Combat system , weapons and skill trees are the backbone and thus it is the reason why the DMC's franchise is successful since the original DMC came out.
    Where it exactly lack? Well in my point of view, it does lack only at one point, that's going to be, non other than level design..I believe it could have been better since I found game as straight forward without any puzzle or putting the player into test. ( Well, I'm aware that the higher difficulties are testing for us , but they require combat skills ) but anyways, who cares! After all it is hack and slash game! Just develop massive combos and enjoy it with stylish, sexy & smoking" slogan. I will definitely rate this game as 10. Because it is filled with entertainment and do justice to DMC series. Can't wait for next installment. ❣️
    Edit: this game holds an excellent replay value too. Go for it.

    Dmc5 is one of the best action games I've played in a long time. I played Gow18 last year and was put off the by all the walking in the game.Dmc5 is one of the best action games I've played in a long time. I played Gow18 last year and was put off the by all the walking in the game. Nier Automata had annoying tacked on RPG stuff. Dmc5 has neither. It's just pure action.

    There are 3 playable characters. Dante and Nero are great, V a little less so. He summons beasts to fight for him instead of direct combat. He takes some time to get used to, and I didn't like his character much, but overall he's a net positive. All 3 have FANTASTIC battle themes, but they play for EVERYTHING. They really do outstay their welcome.

    The great combat is still here. There are lots of cool additions to Dante's moveset (which I won't spoil here) and you can use them to great effect.

    One let down gameplay-wise is that the game is fairly easy on the normal mode. I don't why anyone would want a Dmc without challenge, so I highly recommend playing on the hard mode. I think 3 difficulty options would have been better, but it's a small nitpick.

    As I mentioned, V's character is bit of a let down, but that's not the only issue story-wise. The villain isn't really very menacing, and the game's final arc is never resolved, leading to a weak conclusion.

    However, this game is great in spite of all that. This game is a must-play for anyone who enjoys pure action games. Maybe it's a sort of relief after playing Gow2018. Either way, highly recommend.
