After taking the franchise back into their own hands, Capcom delivers the goods. Great action, cool characters and mostly fantastic visuals wipe out the few shortcomings.

Exalted, rocking, technical, pleasantly excessive, the action of the game conquers and wins from the beginning to the end, almost always without reserve: apart from a slight imbalance of the old protagonist, Capcom has assembled a combat system that sits effortlessly at the top of the action game, in terms of diversity and depth.

Devil May Cry is back in all its glory, but it isn’t stuck in its own past. There are new features galore and everything works together like a well-oiled clockwork.

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. Instead of being a masterful and complete action game, it's instead far more shallow than it could have been.

Devil May Cry 5 brings us back everything we wanted: the purest of hack and slash, action and style. One of the most complete games in the franchise and one that is perfect for newcomers. Despite some issues that prevent Devil May Cry 5 from being a perfect game, Capcom has done an impeccable job with the franchise. Long live the sons of Sparda.

It speaks volumes that despite Devil May Cry 5‘s obvious issues, it still impresses so much. It’s a game that looks better than anything else available at the moment, and yet somehow runs at a solid 60 frames per second. And its combat is undoubtedly the deepest of any action game, making its linear structure actually not that much of an issue. Devil May Cry 5 isn’t perfect, but it’s a damn good Devil May Cry game. Honestly, I think Ninja Theory’s DmC was better, but in 2019 I’ll accept Devil May Cry 5 with open arms.

Devil May Cry 5 keeps what made the franchise so popular while refining its systems to near-perfection. With some of the most impressive animation and combat out there right now and the addition of Bloody Palace arriving in a free update this April, Devil May Cry 5 is the definitive DMC experience and should be played by everyone looking for incredibly satisfying & stylish combat!

It’s not until Devil May cry 5 starts throwing tougher enemies into the mix and the main characters have most of their skills unlocked that the game really comes to life. Those who want the most out of it should be prepared for a second run at least. It may not be the best Devil May Cry — 2013’s DmC still holds that honor — but it’s a cracking action romp.

This game is proof that single player not only isn't dead but it can still be enthralling, enticing, and innovative.
EGM 90
The world has long waited for a proper new chapter of the groundbreaking Devil May Cry series, and in Devil May Cry 5, Capcom has given us an experience that was very much worth that wait. While the game requires players to really invest in its concepts before its depth truly shines through, that investment will definitely pay off for those who put in the time and energy to master DMC5’s three diverse heroes.

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 yet another exquisite game from Capcom. True to its roots, but also with attractive innovations, surprisingly gorgeous and fun, it is probably the ideal sequel to a classic action series.
