Capcom's Devil May Cry 5 is an insane, over-the-top, adrenaline-fueled action game that stomps its foot on the gas right at the start and never lets up.

Capcom returns to its trusted formula for something that plays like a outrageously pretty PS2 game - and that's a very good thing.

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.

Chaining together impressive combos is as fun as ever, though hopping among three characters makes it hard to hone your expertise

DMC5 proves the series can still be brilliant and imaginative without compromising its longest-held traditions.

It’s a gory, metalcore-driven, imperfect romp. It didn’t ask me for much: just 15 hours of my time and a willingness to admit that, all right, dragging a motorcycle across a demon’s face is, in fact, pretty b****s.

Devil May Cry 5 is a firework. If you’re the one with the lighter, then setting the explosion off is a simple as flicking your finger.

Though it’s not without its flaws, DMC 5 is a game where action is king.

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 is the culmination of everything I wanted as a DMC fan: slick gameplay, an enticing story and top-notch visuals.

There is a demon, and I’m going to kill it. With style. I’ll shoot and slash and somersault, chaining together increasingly outlandish combos while listening to electro-metal where I only catch the odd word like ‘sword’ or ‘death’.

Devil May Cry 5 won't be a total disappointment thanks to its stunning production values. Aside from the recent Resident Evil 2 remake, this is the best-looking game Capcom has ever made. Its adventure is a fun one if you don't take it too seriously (which shouldn't be too hard). As much as I can gripe about its flaws, it's hard not to grin when you're shoving a running motorcycle wheel into a demon's face. But this isn't an action classic.

Devil May Cry 5 is a stunning hack and slash game and never fails to amaze. Combat this good should be illegal.

DMC 5 is beautifully rendered and the action is fun. However, the weak story and less-than-compelling character development and audio presentation remove the game’s heart

11 years after we last saw Dante, Nero & Co., Devil May Cry 5 shows that the series is in fine form with one of its best installments yet.

DMC5 makes even better what this franchise does best, improving on its formula in almost every way, but doesn't do anything new on the process. The game doesn't has any hiccups or problems so if you are the kind of gamer that loves this frantic action games, you'll be more than happy with Capcom's latest creation.
