Devil May Cry 5

This is my first experience with a DMC game (though I've been aware of the series since the debut on the PS2) and honestly I can see why this has an audience but it wasn't very engaging or fun to me.

• Story : ok. Classic dmc, Vergil is the bad guy.
  
• Gameplay, combat are generally great and satisfying. I didn’t enjoy playing with Nero at least until he gets the Devil Trigger. Ex-Act mechanic is cumbersome to master, yet it’s Nero’s greatest strength. V is fine, except for Heaven or Hell.
  
[*] Achievements for completion is horror hardcore chores. At least 7 playthrough (including Vergil) with all S rank. 7 is too much, at 4th playthrough and beyond the game stop being fun.

This is probably the best combat mechanics I've ever played in a game. It's rewarding to pour hours into this game because the combat feels so good. The goal of the game is to not just beat the enemy but to completely destroy them as you string three or four combos in a row while looking like a complete badass. The Bloody Palace mode in this game especially emphasizes this.

The story is charming because it understand it's corny and completely embraces it. The cutscenes are brief, funny, and action-packed. It doesn't slow down the pacing of the game and just lets you enjoy the action and combat pf the gameplay.

Also, Vergil is the best character.

Probably one of the most fun games I've played recently. It has very fun combat, likeable characters, a pretty good story with a great soundtrack on top of it all. Its not perfect because everytime I open the game it turns on HDR forcing me to unfullscreen and refullscreen and the camera is a bit wonky sometimes, but it's still a great game

9/10

It is totally a stylish game, a very good story and characters, I completely loved it, I will be a new fan of this franchise.

The combat and everything are great, very deep, it's not just a mash fest which I like, and it's actually difficult, truly worthy of a 10/10. But I think the best part of this game is switching between Dante's different modes really fast and hearing the guy start tweaking out.

Quite enjoy it so far. Up to the 3 warrior mission. Really enjoy how versatile each character is.

Dante is my favourite. 4 fight styles, which feels like Yakuza but a lot more complex, which I quite enjoy.

V is basically spam 2 buttons with the occasional B. I turn my brain off and demons die, which I like.

Nero I still don't understand how to fully take advantage of the special fists. I like playing him, but not as much as the other 2.

Overall it is a really nice game to play.

4/5

This game is great. Coming from a big bayonetta fan, this games combat is incredible, some of the best from any game I’ve played. That being said v can be boring to play as sometimes but Dante and Nero are peak character action gameplay. The story was stupid, which is a good thing, and the cutscenes were good when they were silly or cool

The ending was awesome and spoiler:




Vergil fight was awesome. My biggest problem was probably that the areas looked to similar but besides that this game is peak. You should definitely buy this game on sale and play it it is a definite 9/10

What's there left to say? This game is incredible, and it's one of, if not the greatest action games I or you will ever touch.

10/10
(Get the special edition on PS5/Xbox Series X if you can)

Best Hack 'n' Slash game in existence, with near infinite gameplay style and combo potential. Awesome music, awesome characters.

I HATE that this game has microtransactions because it really doesn't need it, and it was just a greedy decision by Capcom to put purchasable currency in a single player game like this. It's absolutely despicable.

However... I absolutely loved this game, and I would consider every other aspect of this game to be masterpiece level quality. Definitely worth playing, but I really wish this game didn't have any microtransactions.

This game is a very mixed bag, while the combat does look cool it doesn't feel good. Why are the enemies so tanky. The game is VERY repetitive with going in a corridor, fight a horde of enemies or a bullet sponge boss, go in a corridor and repeat until you finish the mission. The dodge is extremely weird and the controls feels bad. The camera is behaving weird and the lock on system kinda sucks, I don't want to hold a button down for lock on... The game looks great and flashy but after a while the game starts to look and feel boring with copy pasted enemies and repeating textures. The combat is good if you are good at it, which I am not I can admit. But to learn the combos and mechanics I have to read and read and read to see how you perform combos, there is no like tutorial on how to master the combos, you just have to self learn it through reading and training for a long long while as there are so many combos to do. It is extremely complex and complicated, maybe even too complicated. I don't want to play through the game maybe 3 times to maybe master a portion of the combat. The story is pretty good, has some weird moments but also fun moments. But the dialogue is pretty cringe and there are so many cutscenes in the middle of the game play that it gets annoying. You play as three different characters which makes it even more difficult to master the combos as you are forced to switch between them. Oh and please let me delete V from the game or at least the parts where I have to play as him... I can only recommend this game if you have the time to master the combos and have no problem with extremely tanky enemies. I hate bullet sponges, please stop making games with them... All in all it's a 6/10 from me, not the best but it's not the worst

My first devil may cry game and I'm loving it so far. The controls for keyboard/mouse are a little wonky, and the very sensitive camera controls make me motion sick sometimes, but honestly being able to listen for devil trigger for hours on end makes it all worth it!

Awalnya wareg cutscene pas masih main story, tapi pas nyoba Vergil nak jadi Raja Iblis aku jir :v. Secara animasi mantap coy, kalo secara story yah lumayanlah meskipun diakhir cerita saja baru terasa wah nya, tapi selama ada lady saya masih semangat main XD. Hal yang paling menarik perhatian disini adalah battlenya, susah jir. tapi bagusnya karena musuhnya dibuat sesuai kemampuan player jadi boss yg di akhir memang dipake buat ngetes skill player selama ini (walaupun di Vergil sebenarnya lummayan gampang).

While Devil May Cry 3 being my favorite DMC game, Devil May Cry 5 deserves to be in my top 50 games ever. So much about this game is amazing, from it's graphics, to it's gameplay and to the music. Everything about this game was amazing. I enjoyed every battle, every boss, every conversation, every twist and every note of music.

This game takes control of Nero, Dante and V (exclusive to this game). Every single one having their own and unique moveset, even adding more moves to Nero and Dante. Let me go over every character since it's a lot!

Nero - Nero's Gameplay is completely changed, instead of having his DevilBringer (Lore reasons). He has arms that Nico makes for him, Every arm having different abilities, even one having the ability to use DevilBringer! This change in Nero's gameplay opens up to SOO much more combos and ways of dealing with every battle and situation you go up against. His arms are a nice addition not only to the lore, but his character overall. His battle track "Devil Trigger" is SOOO good, ever since hearing that track, I've been non stop listening to it. It is so good and especially as a battle theme.

V - While I didn't hate his combat, I also didn't love it. It's more of a let the shadow and griffin do everything and push B/0 to finish off the enemy. His look is amazing and his track "Crimson Cloud" is pretty good, especially after understanding his character and who he is as a person. He was a mixed bag for me when it came to combat, but he's pretty cool in every other part of himself

Dante - The man himself, while being older and less stylish, HE IS STILL GREAT. His gameplay being sooo good and fun to do, I went back to DMC 5's bloody palace so I can play as Dante some more. His Devil Arms this game are really fun and extremely sick to pull combos with, for example. One of his Devil Arms is a BIKE, while being slower than his other weapons, It sure does pack a punch. They did NOT miss when making Dante's moveset in this game. His track "Subhuman" being okayish, I didn't really like it as much as his previous ones like "Divine Hate" or "Public Enemy" but it was still really good and enjoyable.

The graphics of this game is running of the RE engine (Used in RE 2, 3, 4 remake and 7, 8). It looks amazing and very pretty in scenes.

While this one has some flaws, I barely thought of them while making this review. The flaws are HEAVILY lost within the MILLIONS of good things that this game does best. Even tho i would LOVE to talk my head off about this game, I do not want to get into spoilers. I DEEPLY recommend this game to everyone who's played DMC 1, 3, and 4 (The story makes a lot more sense if you did play them before this game). This game is a REALLY GOOD DMC game and I can not recommend this game more to anyone!

still have to play more of it but by far the best story game ive played in years

Great graphics, cool fights and skills. Really enjoy it.

If someone says the story of this game is worse than the reboot be aware they're talking about story containing a sniper abortion.... Anyway this is the most incredible expressive and fun action game I've ever played and hasn't be topped before or since if you have the time definitely look into mods if the PS5 and Xbox Series exclusive special edition makes you envious SSSiyan's Collaborative Cheat trainer blows it out of the water.

Boring.
The story is for 15 year old edgelords.
Gameplay gets interrupted all the time with stupid cutscenes,
and the bosses are forgettable.
Crazy how overhyped this game is.

Devil May Cry series is best hack and slash, Three playable characters with three different combat mechanics and stylish action.
VERGIL APPROVED

This is probably the best hack n´ slash ever, there is, basically no downsides, the graphics still hold up for a 6 year old game (capcom, please, we´re all begin´you to make dmc6)
The history is good and the musci is perfect, the Combat is probably the best i´ve ever seen on a game, and the deep of the combo system is unbelievable.


Please buy this and play it

10/10

In my opinion, this is one of the best games in its genre. I can't say it's better than the third game, which is one of my favorite games, but I will definitely play this one again and again with great pleasure. The music here is on another level, the combat system is just amazing, and the story didn't disappoint either. For me, this game will remain deep in my heart for a long time, if not forever. I recommend buying it.

its fun! idk i played this mostly while arguing w my ex over text so i had to pause every 5 seconds but its cool

great game!
This is my first playthrough of any DMC game. I first heard about them in high school but never got around to playing any. I regret not picking them up earlier!

Honestly Ive always sucked at games that relied on combos to hit a higher tier but the amount of fun I have trying to learn these combos and characters was infinite! My fave has to be Vergil tho. Love his combos so much!

This was my introduction to the world of DMC. I wish I had played the other games to understand more of the story before diving into this one. This has to be one of the best fighting/action games I have ever played. Each playable character's play style is complex, unique, and fun when you learn how to string combos together. I am by no means an expert at this game, but it is such a rush when I discover something new or how to chain combos together. This game is worth it on sale or at full price because the developers should be rewarded for making such an amazing game. I bought this game on my PC and Play Station 5. When I get a Steam deck, this will probably be the first game I buy...

Amazing game, never played DMC series games, but...
Played different slashers before, that one definitely has it's own style
Great story, beautiful visuals, cool combat with powerful soundtrack. The work of Art!:)

The game worth it, and I mean it!

P.S. Feels Good Man ;)

dante moonwalks. thats all that needs to be said. k fr great game combat cool story cool everything cool

Devil may cry has the following: Good combat, good graphics, good story. But most importantly Godly soundtrack whilst destroying devil's from existence ;))

The best character action game of all time. No other game rivals its depth of combat. I really appreciate how the level design is focused on moving you from encounter to encounter without much garbage time in between. The only down sides I can think of are the fact that you can't replay the whole story mode as your favored character (excluding Vergil). I really hope they make a DMC1 remake in this style, as that game had a better atmosphere overall, but DMC5 has the deeper combat.

Holy fuck this has got to be the best capcom series out there, its right after resident evil of course but this game is just too well-made for it not to be one of the best.

Good old DMC. Combat, music, jokes, characters are decent as always. Well written continuation of the previous game story is also implemented.
Bioware (look at the Veilguard) should learn from Capcom how to continue their series after 10 years of pause (even if the genre is different).

amazing combat, spectacular soundtrack, beautiful ending, what else do you need in a hack n slash?

Very fun. I personally like the variety of gameplay the different main characters give you (and I've not played the Vergil DLC yet) and it all feels very fluid. I've only been playing for about a week as of writing this, but I've spent every moment I can spare playing it and thought about it whenever I couldn't play.

11/10
M A S T E R P I E C E

Short and sweet, the gameplay keeps you addicted. Some levels much more fun than others.

This game is so good it goes full circle and actually make you not want to play the game because you'll never look as cool as the guys on YouTube clearing stages. For over a year of having DMC 5 combo videos and cinematic fights in my YouTube recommended I only now am confident that I've seen all of the character's moves lmao. The fighting in this game is decades ahead of it's time. I still come back every here and there to see how cool I can make my stage clears look with combos I make up in practice mode.

Actually fucking amazing. I don't ever think I've ever busted harder than I did on Nero and V. Other than that the story is great and so is the gameplay.

I bought and revisited this game after playing it on my game console. Coming back to this after some time was refreshing, amazing story line, would recommend even without playing previous installments of the series because there is a feature where you can recap the story.

Amazing game!

I am the storm that is approaching
Provoking black clouds in isolation
I am reclaimer of my name
Born in flames, I have been blessed
My family crest is a demon of death
Forsakened, I am awakened
A phoenix's ash in dark divine
Descending misery
Destiny chasing time
Fun game and I recommend the Vergil DLC

excellent game but the combos can be difficult is on keyboard and mouse overall one of the best fighting games i've ever played

First time DMC player, very fun. The music is so good it makes me want to learn to become stylish harder

awesome game and soundtrack but only like 5-10 hours of playtime. we also have to wait 10 years for the next game but the third game is better in my opinion

Marvellous game and a worthy part of the franchise. Away with games that don't let you fight as quickly and intensely as this (yes, looking at you, assassins).

The game is awesome. You don't just fight the demons, you style on them, The sheer amount of things you can mix and match to make the combat spicy is just overwhelming. But when you give it time, it makes it worth your while. The camera can be a hand to handle at times, but aside from that it is as I remember if not better, which it is. The game respects you and the game doesn't force you to fight on enemy's terms which I am used to. Everything in this game feels like it is made for you, Except V, which plays like button mashing. And that's because, to play V perfectly, you have to understand what is even going on in the screen. Which is too much to ask for my eyes. But if you can, Good for you.

Nice hack and slash game with fun combos

Love the game, Characters are cool and really have depth to them (maybe not V but hes still cool). I dont think its necessarily required to play the old games to play this. Story was good, combat is good, graphics is good, music is good. This game still holds up today.

Literally just buy the vergil dlc and ur set for life.
I hope for a dmc 6 with all the characters playable even the ladies T_T
some of capcoms best works

Love this game
10/10 croissants

its a great game cool battle mechanics the only thing its lacking is a plot maybe just that how's the devil may cry is

i got this game way before hating capcom and before the dude left capcon btw,
and i REALLY wish steam has a mix option then just yes or no option

ok so i am mix on this game, don't get me wrong i did laugh and enjoy hack and slashing and shooting but yeah

spoilers on some's bit
1) nero is unbearable, i find nero in dmc 4 more better then dmc 5, every time u pick what to play nero or v (or dante) i will pick v (or dante),
2) nero arm mechanic on "only can switch by breaking the arm" sucks,
3) the camera is awful, it was better in the other games (3,1,2 and 4),
4) combo on nero is not easy then in the dmc 4 it was easy. v is to easy to combo and dante is a nice mixed to combo
5) items are not there. like the healing items, holy water, u name in in 3,1,2 and 4 are not there. it not being in 5 feel like something not right.
6) the same boss is no point to be a boss as u need to lose a on him to Continue the game. i KNOW it should be a big bad scary boss and all but like no, if u want me to feel threaten by them not make me fight them again and again
7) nico is funny and she made me want to play more on the game bc of her
8) enemies lock on switch is not there

now end game spoilers dante vs vergil on easy is not easy, easy mode SHOULD be balance but u know ur going to do a lot of damage, yeah that is not balance. look i KNOW end boss should be balance but also test ur skills, but that fight was not testing ur skills, it was harder for no reason,

and now to not a story on this game but to 4 and 5 in a way

how is nero stronger then dante? in the games of the 1st game and time lines (in time line of games and anime and manga are in it idk 3,1,2,4,5) dante is seen as the strong's (and at time better then vergil) but nero can just bitch slap him and he be down, like HUH?

ngl, i find dmc 4 and dmc: devil may cry better then this

I love rushing monsters and sending them upto the air so I can break the laws of physiics and make monster float

Awesome gameplay, challenging at the right amounts; the weapons and combos keep getting better as the game progresses. It is certainly worth the hype!
