I wish Steam's review system had a mixed review option. Positives; Dante's gameplay is cool, bloody palace is the best it has ever been, the weapons besides DSD and the bike are incredible, the sin devil trigger is epic, we finally have a build in training mode, and Vergil's theme is awesome. and I really like the new moves for gunslinger. Unfortunately that is where my compliments end. The game has tedious, …

Devil May Cry 5 is one of those games where you immediately feel how polished everything is the moment you start playing. The combat is honestly the main reason to play it. It’s fast, flashy, and super satisfying once you get the hang of it. You’re not just trying to beat enemies—you’re trying to look as stylish as possible while doing it. Nero feels aggressive and straightforward, Dante is insanely versatile (and a …

Devil May Cry 5 is a game about Vergil hiring Vergil's brother and Vergil's son in order to work with Vergil to kill Vergil so that Vergil can fuse with Vergil to become Vergil. 11/10 motivation would Vergil again

2019 was a great year... This game is still good. When I finished DMC's last game, I saw this game. I don't want to play it because of I don't have good pc :) I played this game with my friend's PC but I never finished... NOW I finished. I honor to play. Soundtracks always are GOOD! Charachter developments are good! Return of Vergil is GOOOOOD! They are really good brother right now :)

There's sexual tension between my controller and my hands due to the amount of combos i'll be pulling in this game

Players who liked Devil May Cry 5 talk about combat is fast, flashy, and satisfying; those who didn't talk about level design is tedious and repetitive. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Following 2018's Tokyo Game Show, Devil May Cry 5 won the Future Division award from the Japan Game Awards. Some concern arose in the gaming community regarding the decision to include optional in-game purchases where the player can purchase red orbs used to upgrade characters. Capcom confirmed this in no way alters the game's designed progression system, and it is similar to that of Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition, which also allowed for similar in-game purchases. Devil May Cry 5 received "generally favorable" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. The gameplay and characters were praised. PC Gamer UK referred to it as "one of the best games about hitting…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Warning for new players: do NOT start with Vergil mode. I did, and I basically played the whole game without the actual story. No cutscenes, almost no context, and achievements didn’t track like a normal playthrough. I thought I was playing the game normally, but Vergil is basically a separate combat-focused mode, not the main campaign. If you want the actual game (story, cutscenes, proper progression), start with Nero/Dante/V first. Vergil is for later.

neutral · AI labelView post →I think the reason I always had a difficult time getting fully into Devil May Cry 5 is that the game starts you out with several chapters as Nero, who I find to be the most confusing and by extension least fun character of the three to play as

positive · AI labelView post →When I was in high school, I skipped school and went to a cyber cafe to play this game. Now that I have my own PC, free time, but I'm not getting the same adrenaline rush while playing this game. I guess people's tastes change with age. Definitely an awesome game, but it's not my type anymore.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish people were loud against microtransactions toward every game, not just games they dislike or have issues with. DD2's MTX sucks yes, but so did Devil May Cry 5's red orbs for real money, & RE:Village's resource & shop packs. They got undeserved free passes for being critically acclaimed

neutral · AI labelView post →Gameplay so good, even a devil may cry. First Hack & Slash I've ever played. Game was so good I went backwards to play through it's predecessors. Funny story, I actually saw gameplay of DMC4 in my early teens while in a shopping mall as the game was available to play on those free console tryouts in game stores. The scene of Nero punching the ground after being unable to save kyrie midway through the story stuck with me. The fact that I was lucky enough to play the whole series through…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →devil may cry 5 is about killing demons but the main goal is to... look cool and humiliate them with stylish while doing that. the game judges how cool and stylish you are based on your combo
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3196453897 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3188626285 I’m honestly a bit scared for DMC6(soooon?!) . They don’t need to reinvent anything, just polish what’s already there and add real co-op without mods. That alone would be pure cinema. The DLC Playable Character: Vergil is a must-have and now I’m taking a break on the legendary white plastic chair. Cheers! ~

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Devil May Cry 5 didn’t just mark a triumphant return for the franchise... it also made it crystal clear who the king of action games is... and he wears a red coat. Jackpot! If you thought you knew what an action game was, Devil May Cry 5 is here to prove you wrong. Between insane combos, absurd enemies, and characters who never seem to sweat, it’s obvious that every detail was designed to make the player feel like a true stylist of destruction. 🔥 Combat System – 10/10 Here, even humiliation…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DEATH BATTLE Dante Vs Clive was rigged! Dante has acces to every weapon Dante ever had but he still lost to some final fantasy Twink. If the people that did the death battle actually played the games Dante would have smoked Clive in the first 2 minutes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is just so amazing. It's one of my favourite games of all times, at least in the hack and slash genre. If you haven't played this game yet, you really have to, as that was the best decision I have ever made. This game also has to have one of the best soundtracks in existence and if you enjoy this game, you should consider having a look at the older games too.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →capcom stop changing ♥♥♥♥ without telling us and making updates to deliberately break mods
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Has some of the best weapons in gaming, including: - A bunch of bananas -A sex toy -A cane -A Michael Jackson hat (yes Dante dances) -A motorbike -Dual Rocket Launchers 10/10 Would recommend, although my keyboard probably wouldn't

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I opened this game with my expectations very low especially with my PC. Once I got in, I was immediately obsessed. I LOVE this game. One of my favorite games that I have opened up. The game, the story, and the characters are all perfect. I for sure recommend this to everyone.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →PEAK STYLISH This game was my first Devil May Cry game and it was peak. The gameplay is absolutely really great, and the characters are very interesting except V.. The villains in this game or bosses are really great aswell. Nero and Vergil has to be my favorite characters from this game. Dante was cool but he became a bit old now.. The other characters like Nico, Lady and Trish were great too. The Story was kinda confusing me but I did understand most of it at the end. I really liked this…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Devil May Cry 5 is pure stylish chaos. The combat is insanely smooth, every character feels unique, and the game honestly feels reborn every time you switch characters. Dante alone has more depth than most action games combined, and the game rewards skill instead of button mashing. The soundtrack is legendary. Music ramps up with your combo rank, boss fights feel cinematic, and every cutscene somehow manages to be both goofy and unbelievably hype. Optimization is amazing. The game runs…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stylish and elegant. Its ACT roots give it a high skill ceiling, while the auto mode keeps the floor low, really broadenin the audience. The character creation perfectly embodies every delusional cool teens ultimate dream. Capcom just knows how to make games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TODDLER: want to play a game? ME: What game do you want to play? TODDLER: [hands me my copy of Devil May Cry 5] ME: Uh.
neutral · AI labelView post →This is THE peak devil may cry experience. The inclusion to play as Vergil off rip if you bought the dlc is so awesome (not recommended for a first playthrough though) the devil trigger for the 3 and the devil breakers for Nero shake up combat really well and it's a non stop thrill ride from start to finish. With how awesome this game was, I can only hope capcom has plans to make a DMC6. P.S. the devil may cry anime on netflix is peak, worth a watch for sure.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best combat systems in any game ever. The music, the characters, and the mechanics are iconic beyond gaming itself. Vergil and Dante are some of the most iconic video game characters ever, and Bury the Light has been on constant repeat for me ever since I first heard it in 2020. SSS tier.
