Devil May Cry 5

I didn't think I would like this game but I enjoyed it I remember playing the old ones but the gameplay on this ones way better I love the graphics

Out of all of the games in the series, I commend Devil May Cry 5 for its outstanding graphics, engaging soundtrack, and great story. I also enjoy the game for returning the series to its roots after the highly controversial DMC Devil May Cry. Another thing the game does well is the boss fights, which I believe some are the best in the series. Difficulty-wise I felt the game was pretty approachable to newcomers despite a difficulty spike hear and there. So altogether I highly recommend to play this game.

Let me ask you this: Have you ever enjoyed playing as Dante-the stylish, cocky, demon-slaying legend of the Devil May Cry franchise? His gameplay is electric, his cutscenes are iconic, and his boss battles are pure adrenaline. But in Devil May Cry 5, Capcom decided to sideline him. Dante is reduced to a cameo protagonist, playable in just a handful of missions (10-13, 16-19). It's a baffling decision for a character who carried the series for four games.

Instead, the campaign is split between Nero and a new character, V-neither of whom live up to the legacy. Nero, once promising in DMC4, feels neutered here. His gameplay is slow, repetitive, and floaty. Devil Breakers are a decent addition, but they don't save him from a broken scoring system and a costume design that looks like he lost a fight with a thrift store.

Then there's V. Controlling his pets instead of fighting directly is a chore. His gameplay lacks impact, and on higher difficulties, it becomes a frustrating slog. Boss fights like Nidhogg and Elder Geryon Knight are sleep-inducing, and his final mission is a gauntlet of recycled bosses with limited tools. His Shakespearean quotes and awkward design don't help either.

Vergil, on the other hand, is a blast. Overpowered? Absolutely. But fun? No doubt. His inclusion in the Special Edition is the saving grace of this game. Playing as him feels like a reward for enduring the rest.

If you're a trophy hunter, Dante and Vergil are your best bet. Nero and V will test your patience and your sanity. I got the platinum, but I'll never touch those two again.

Bottom line: Devil May Cry 5 shines only when it lets you play as its legends. The rest? A stylish disappointment.

Devil May Cry 5 (4 out of 5 stars).

Devil May Cry 5 is back and an improvement over the fourth game which was forgettable. And a boring reboot. Dmc is back with a lot of fast paced action and slash em up fighting. Introduces a new character V. Which he is playable as well as Nero and Dante.

The plot is decent with this sequel. The first game will always be the best. Along with the third and second game. It takes place in one day with a few flash backs. But the story never stays in one place with bouncing around between characters. The game begins with Nero. Facing against a new threat Uniziel or something like that. Which he is causing chaos and destroying what looks to be england. Then, a new mysterious character V is introduced. Who uses his magical powers of a black demonic crow and panther to fight the enemies for him. The best part of the storyline is Dante which shows up in the middle of the game. I enjoy playing Dantes missions more than the other characters. There is a twist in the story about the villain.

The gameplay is fast paced. And a lot of fun. Each character has their own combat style. Nero took a while to get used too. V was a lot of fun but got boring after a while. Dante is fun with getting a lot of new weapons and swords. The characters are fun with the storyline. Trish and Lady being back into the fold with Dante. The villain is menacing and powerful. But when his identity is revealed. I liked how the twist folds back to Dante.

The controls are easy to use and handle. I did find the camera movements to be annoying when you have to force move it to see your enemies on the other side. The graphics are awesome and amazing. The cutscenes story was great with cheesy dialogue.

Overall, Devil May Cry 5 is a good action slashing game. A lot of new enemies. New characters. Dantes game play is still the best. The plot is forgettable which is the weakest of the game. But the gameplay is a lot of fun.

Absolutely Incredible. Huge fan of the series, especially this one. The graphics, characters, story telling, soundtrack, etc. All synced into a masterpiece. I would recommend to any fan of action games with lots of fighting, I also love how the 3 characters have their own unique fighting styles which mixes up the gameplay well. What I love most about the Devil May Cry series is that it's not just about killing demons, but how you kill the demons. Now I'm eagerly waiting for 6th installment.
