Devil May Cry 5 Reviews
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 that I haven't been able to put down. It looks like Capcom has yet another GOTY contender on their hands. Devil May Cry 5 is every bit the game I was looking forward to and then some.
This is a product designed to appeal to me and I'd say it overwhelmingly succeeded, I enjoyed my time with DMC 5 and will no doubt get hundreds of hours of enjoyment out of it in the future. The combat system typifies easy to learn but exceptionally hard to master all while being extremely cathartic and rewarding skilfull play. After Resident Evil 2 Remake Capcom have knocked it out of the park again. This game is a love letter to DMC fans but also fans of action games in general. It's absolutely a must buy for action fans.
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 ever second of it.
If badass characters dishing out stylish beatings on demonic baddies are your thing, then Devil May Cry is for you. So dive into hell with me and together lets earn some sweet ranks while we finesse some demons back into the underworld.
Devil May Cry 5 is one of the greatest masterpieces among action game genre. I can barely imagine any other games would be qualified enough to compare before Bayonetta 3.

This game is proof that single player not only isn't dead but it can still be enthralling, enticing, and innovative.
For everyone else though, there's value in seeing Capcom go back to the over-the-top well that is Devil May Cry and deliver one of the most stylish games we've played in a while.
Devil May Cry 5 is a game that delights in setting the bar high up front and then continually one-upping itself with ever-more-ludicrous cutscenes and some of the most stylish combat in the business.
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.
Devil May Cry 5 is one of the best entry in the series and fully represents Capcom reinassance. Three characters with three different combat systems are enough to satisfy every fan of stylish action.

This is the best Devil May Cry yet. Each character has enough depth to fill a game by themselves, the story does exactly what it needs to, the twists and turns keep you on edge and the combat sets a new benchmark for action games as a whole. Capcom has made a masterclass in stylish combat gaming here, and there’s enough content to keep players happy — even if it takes another 11 years for a sequel.
Even though it sometimes feels uncharacteristically by the numbers in some places or fails to have a noticeable amount of pizazz, Devil May Cry 5 is a hell of a good time. With plenty of wonderful character moments that'll make fans gush, a glorious frenzy of bloody action, and a healthy dose of great metal music to score it all, Capcom has triumphantly returned yet another beloved franchise to its former glory.
A stylish, badass return to form
It might have small flaws, but Devil May Cry V is like a fine meal; it deserves to be savored, and if you do you'll likely want to re-experience it. The fact you might see everything it has multiple times over in doing so is just a bonus.
Aside from my story gripes with Lady and Trish and my couple of issues with the Devil Breaker, Devil May Cry 5 practically exceeded my expectations.
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.
Devil May Cry 5's risk-averse approach grounds it as other games in the genre are reaching for the sky.
DMC5 is a beautifully produced hack and slash game that proves that Capcom still has their finger on the pulse with the series
DMC5 is a worthy return to the main stage for action games, delivering unparalleled gameplay executed beautifully and with consistent, remarkable performance. Fans of the genre will love this title, and newcomers are likely to become fans.
A blast to play.
