The other day I heard someone describe how Devil May Cry 4's ending became a really somber moment for them. This confused me but after thinking about it some more I understand it if you were a DMC fan. You had to be disappointed by DMC4's lackluster quality, and whatever the hell DmC was, as a franchise you loved was put on ice. That "will we meet again?" at the end of DMC4 really becomes something more as I keep thinking about it. The feeling of uncertainty if there will ever be a new entry again, and if it will even be good.
11 years later, and they delivered.
That's what's always going to be the most amazing thing about DMC5. That it is Devil May Cry 5. A new entry that's as Devil May Cry as they come. It picks up on the pieces from DMC4 and builds upon everything to deliver such an enjoyable and unforgettable experience that left me smiling.
Nero is back and he continues his arc from 4. His gameplay has been slightly retooled as in place of Devil Bringer he's given Devil Breakers which adds a pretty big amount of freedom in combat. I kept finding myself experimenting with new Devil Breakers as much as I could.
Dante...hnghrgh~
He's nothing to scoff at either. Man he plays so well in this game that I squealed like a twink bouncing on dick at his gameplay. If I'm honest Dante can be very overwhelming due to the fact that you're given a lot of options regarding how you want to play it but once you get it down he's a god.
There's also the newcomer, V. I didn't know if I'd like V, but after beating the game I can say I really enjoyed his characterization as well as his gameplay. When it comes to my group of friends I'm in a very weird position with V as I neither wholly love him nor do I find his sections boring. It really is commendable that V is a very large departure from the usual Devil May Cry gameplay yet he still ends up being a great deal of fun. Although it really should be addressed that on a whole, V is pretty easy. The problem with V just comes down to there being a lack of skill when it comes to his sections at his part as without even trying I was hitting SS ranks easily. I'm not gonna say that a character of his playstyle doesn't belong in DMC as that'd just be wrong, but I would really love to see if they ever build on a character that plays like him if they ever make a DMC6.
Level Design is where I'm left confused on the game. The levels are indeed fun but something I realised very early on us that a large portion of them are missing the puzzles you'd find in earlier DMC games. Do I like this change? Well I can't say I dislike it but I do think it can take out the uniqueness of levels, although I can't say I much enjoyed the puzzles I encountered in DMC3 and 4 that much. If I had to guess I think this was done so the game would be accessible to newer players
In my DMC4 review, I talked about how that game lacked a strong atmosphere of earlier DMC titled and has aged the worst graphically in my eyes. DMC5 fixed this for the most part, the levels really are pretty immersive to the point where I could almost feel the cool morning breeze of Redgrave City, but I can't say it's as strong as earlier DMC titles. Also it remain to be seen if this game ages graphically as much as DMC4, but I don't think it will if I'm honest.
Did I talk about the story yet? The story really rocks I can't lie. Narratives haven't been this franchise's strong suit but I will admit I never minded that as it really was apparent that it was not one of the core focuses of the franchise. DMC3 relies on a lot of subtext and symbolism for its narrative which I've spent a lot of time analysing but I can't say I was ever moved by it or fell in love with it but I can appreciate what was there. DMC5 on the surface isn't much different as its still a pretty fun action story yet there's a greater deal placed on the narrative this time, and while yes the later section can feel a bit contrived I really do like it. I love the fact that they didn't toss DMC4 aside and continued Nero's story. I love the fact that the game acknowledges the series history to the point where it's pulling in references from the DMC anime and even fucking DmC of all things. What a wild ride.
Oh yeah, this is the Special Edition so there's also Vergil's campaign which I played through. Gameplay wise, Vergil's very fun but he's also pretty easy, not as easy as V I'd argue but I don't really mind it as his campaign is something you play after the game has finished and I don't think it's a big deal to have an OP character as post game content. Something I should address about Vergil. He's hot as fuck. I've battled with the feeling of whether I want to FUCK Vergil or be FUCKED by him. Knowing Vergil you'd assume that he would refuse to bottom and obviously choose the latter, right? Well, I disagree. Reader, have you ever heard of the term "power bottom"? I heard it the other day. I don't fucking know what it means but I assume it has something to do with sex, and it has power in the name. Power... Vergil loves power...yes please bust this twink down NOW.
Oh yeah also Mission 20 as Vergil is the coolest thing ever lmao
There's a bunch of shit that I didn't get the chance to talk but I don't wanna drag out this review for much longer. I really do feel confident that this might be the greatest action game ever made and I tip my hat to Itsuno and his team for giving it their all. Playing this game made me wanna replay the franchise all over again and I'm sure I'll revisit this game countless time over the years, slowly trying to master it to the best of my ability. Until then, goodbye Devil May Cry. It's been a blast.

the best action game ever made, combat is so insanely deep and cathers to both veterans and newcomers, fantastic presentation, there is nothing that beats what this game does to the genre in terms of polish and mechanics.
this Special Edition is probably the weakest in the series, Turbo Mode, enhanced visuals, all the released DLC available, 120 FPS cap and new difficulty levels are solid additions but the lack of additional costumes (which was an already an issue in the original 2019 version), lack of an PC version, new characters outside of Vergil and features are really lame, Capcom didn't even tried to give the game some more sauce to justify the release of an new version like an online co-op function or being able to freely select any character in each level in the main campaign.
because of this I wouldn't call this the definitive version especially if we compare to DMC3, 4 and DmC's Special Editions, the PC version on Steam with mods seems to be the right choice if you want features, costumes and other stuff, I would say to grab this only if you have an next-gen console and nothing else.

I don't understand what is so great about this game. I feel like I wasted 10hours of my life.
Fuck you
A game that knows exactly what it is and celebrates that fact wholeheartedly, this is perhaps the best action game I’ve ever played. Stylish and sick as hell from top to bottom, from the characters, to the music, and the combat, the fucking combat. Doing combo after combo on defenseless demons is one of the most hype feelings imaginable, and when you manage to pull off a series of moves you thought up it gets the adrenaline flowing. I’ve never really been a heavy action game player but this makes me feel like I’ve been in love with the genre for years.
I might’ve played this game on the lowest difficulty but I had such a good time even then that I can for sure see myself replaying, something I don’t really do a lot anymore. Hell I already started doing Devil Hunter mode with Vergil. This game is just too fun, yes I know I sound like a broken record saying this as much as I have but man I haven’t had such a good time with a combat system in years. There’s still so much I don’t fully grasp about it but I’m looking forward to unlocking more skills, doing even wilder moves, and fully mastering this game in due time.
As someone who knew about this game for a long time and knew a lot of the story beats being spoiled through osmosis, I’m still very pleasantly surprised how much I adored it still, along with the fantastic characters. Everyone who’s playable has a unique personality and charm to them along with a signature fighting style that conveys that very well to the player. For a game that I completed in about ten hours, I feel like I’ve grown far more attached to these characters than I would in most given ten hour stretches of games. The dynamics between everyone feel so charged with every interaction being a treat. This being my first go-round with the series I feel like there’s definitely a bunch I’m missing but they knew exactly what to do to bring me up to speed.
I could go on about the story for a while but I’ll simply stick to my basic thoughts of it being fun as hell, intense, and cathartic all at once. Given what I do know about the story of the earlier games this feels like such an immense payoff and if I was a lifelong DMC fan I would’ve been so incredibly happy to see this game come to fruition. The climax was incredible and felt like the culmination of so much about the series, from the relationship between Dante and Vergil, to this being a coming of age story for Nero; all incredibly strong notes to end on.
This game is kinda perfect in my eyes, does its job Smokin’ Sexy Style! all the way through

Que jogo incrível, gameplay sensacional, gráficos insanos, uma trilha sonora impecável, tudo nesse jogo é bom demais.
Eu nunca joguei um devil may cry da vida, na verdade só joguei o 1, mas isso foi lá na época de ps2 ( nem lembro se era o 1 ) então eu não conheço muito a franquia, o bom desse jogo é que tem uma parte no menu onde você pode ver toda a história, do 1 ao 4, uma coisa que eu não gostei no jogo é o pulo, que negócio ruim, mas acho que ficaria fácil se colocassem outra mecânica de pulo, então eu aceito, não joguei com o Vergil ainda mas acho que já ter zerado a história principal já é o suficiente pata fazer uma rewiew, jogo bom demais, e ta na plus extra e deluxe para quem quiser jogar, muito bom pqp.

WOW
WOOWOWOWOWOWOWOW
I CAN FIGHT WITH A MOTORCYCLE LIKE THE DMC3 MOMENT????? WWWWOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW
I LITERALLY SOYJACKED FACE THROUGHOUT EVERY MINUTE OF THIS GAME I FUCKING LOVE THE STUPID MICHAL JACKSON ASS HAT AND JUST WOW EVERYTHING IS JUST WOW
Also I loved V's combat, I love summoners so fighting with him was AMAZING
And Nero's???? HOLY SHIT! It's SO MUCH BETTER than DMC4!!!!!!!! His multiple gloves are sooooo fucking AWESOME!!!! I love his propulsion glove where you can pretty much fly arouynd the combat and I LOOOVE me some good air combat.
And get this, the enemies, ACTUALLY WORK ONCE IN DMC'S CAREER!!! There are no enemies that completly break Nero's or Dante's fighting, they are FUN AS FUCK to fiight! And Again, I am a sucker for Summoner's, so I would die for more V combat.
In 4, it was pretty easy to point and say "I like Nero's story chapter more, but I like Dante's combat more"
In 5 I can't tell, I love all of them... Maybe I prefer Nero's flying glove mechanics, but even then, Dante has that cool ass motorcycle and hat, and V, again, Summoner man...
But, I have to admit that Dante's fighting does lack some depth IN COMPARISON to DMC3/4. But it's still some of the best combats in any game ever.

it took way too long for me to beat this and i hate myself for it because it's so FUCKING GOOD GRAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
the combat is so incredibly tight and fine-tuned, the soundtrack kicks ass, it looks gorgeous, it's fucking incredible and i need more games like this

Melhor DMC de todos, campanha e gameplay muito divertidas e gráficos lindos. Melhores OSTs sendo Devil Trigger do Nero e Bury the Light do Vergil. Recomendo muito!
Obs: zerei com 24h

It's not just the best Devil May Cry game, it's one of the greatest action games ever made. Great music (except Dante's theme), addictive combat, balanced difficulty and excellent cutscene cinematography make this game SHINE.
Who knew that adding Vergil as a playable character would make one of the finest action hack-and-slashers even more demonically impressive!
I still prefer the original and DMC3 in terms of level/environment design, but the combat here is unmatched. Super Sexy Stylish C-c-c-combos in ray-traced 120fps!

BURY THE LIGGGHHHHT DEEP WITHIIIIIIIIN
Okay this is the best DMC game hands down. Somehow this beat out 3 as my favorite.
I'm not super great at action games like this, but I do enjoy this series a lot, so having 3 characters to mess around with was a neat change of pace. Nero's devil arms are neat to use, and having so many to choose from allows for a ton of interesting builds centered around him. V's gameplay takes some getting used to, but I grew to enjoy how he played, getting tons of high ranks as him towards the end.
The absurd amount of stuff in Dante's kit this time around is amazing. While the guitar from 3 will always be my favorite goofy weapon of his, switching from a sword to a motorcycle is just too crazy (and that's a good thing). All of his weapons feel great to use and switching between melee weapons and guns and styles on the fly to build up style points is more satisfying than it has any right to be.
If you're a Devil May Cry fan and you somehow have not played this game, do it. Right now. By reading this sentence you are now obligated to play this game. DO IT

Meu primeiro Devil May Cry e MEU AMIGO, é diferente dos outros jogos, dá pra matar demônio dando grau, jogar de vergil é muito satisfatório, gostei do que vi e aguardo pelo próximo!
This review contains spoilers
Devil May Cry 5 is my favourite game of all time, and nothing comes close.
I have been playing this game since day 1 of the original PS4 release in 2019 and have finally obtained the platinum trophy.
This is by far the hardest trophy I have ever achieved in my time playing video games and I am so glad that obtained it.
Nero is so much fun to play as in this game, even more so than DMC4 which is already saying something because I already adored Nero's play style in DMC4. The devil breakers are a fantastic mechanic that i sorely miss when replaying DMC4.
V is an awesome new character that I really enjoy playing and think in concept is extremely awesome. The callback to DMC1 with his familiars is so cool. However when getting the platinum trophy, replaying his missions so many times to S rank them all got extremely tedious and boring.
Dante is so fucking awesome. What more can I say. His gameplay is refined from DMC4 and all of his weapons are really fun. When i first played DMC5 i wasn't really that fond of Cavaliere, I have no fucking idea why because that shit is radical.
The levels are fine, but there's only so exciting hyper realistic flesh demon tree can get and gets a bit tired in the latter end of the game.
My biggest gripe with the game is the art style. While the game does look absolutely beautiful, i do slightly prefer the art style of the older DMC games. But Capcom will never not use the RE engine ever again.
The story of this game is extremely fun and entertaining from start to finish with some also serious and emotional moments splattered throughout. I don't think the story is as good as DMC3's but still great.
The bosses are all great in this game, the only ones i'm not particularly fond of are Nidhogg in Mission 4 and Gilgamesh in Mission 6. Nidhogg's main problem for me is the arena, and Gilgamesh just feels like a boring filler boss.
I love the Vergil fight in this game so much, while not as challenging as Vergil in DMC3, there's something about him that feels more polished and fun to fight.
Speaking of Vergil, he is by far my favourite character to play in this game. He is so broken and so much fun to play and I love him so much.
I do think special edition is lacking in new content from the original game. I don't really think paying $40 for Legendary Dark Knight and Turbo mode is worth it in my opinion and is the main reason I didn't pick up DMC5SE for so long and just bought the Vergil DLC instead. It would've been nice to see the return of playable Lady and Trish or even better that rumored "Ladies Night" DLC especially after the both of them take a serious backseat in the games main plot. Turbo mode is incredibly good however and the game without it is now unplayable for me.
In terms of the platinum there is only one trophy that actually makes it hard. And that is the "Worthy of Legend" trophy. This trophy is achieved by obtaining an S rank on all missions on all difficulties which is no easy feat. especially for Dante Must Die which makes enemies hit like fuck and and take a year to kill. And Hell and Hell, which means you die in one hit.
This trophy cost me a piece of my soul that I will never get back. There is a special place in hell for the guy that designed the style ranking system for mission 10.
The bloody palace trophy is one that would be very challenging to get but I'm a bitch so I used super characters which made Dante, V and Vergil all free clears. Nero however doesn't have any game breaking gimmicks with his super costume so it wasn't a walk straight to the finish line, but still marginally easier than without the super costume.
DMC 5 is the closest a game has ever gotten to being perfect for me, I really hope we get DMC6 someday.
Let's Rock Baby.

Nero however doesn't have any game breaking gimmicks with his super costume so it wasn't a walk straight to the finish line, but still marginally easier than without the super costume.
DMC 5 is the closest a game has ever gotten to being perfect for me, I really hope we get DMC6 someday.
Let's Rock Baby.
WHAT THE FUCK OH MY GOD JESUS CHRIST HOW EVEN UGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH
Now I know I'm speaking from the perspective of someone who got into this series a year ago, and didn't have to wait for this after 4's release... but that 11 years was totally worth it man, oh my god.
This is a fucking video game right here

Enjoyable game with amazing fleshed out combat. The story is eh but, it's also has funny and awesome moments with amazing music. Wish I could play the game without my hands cramping though. But let's be honest playing Vergil with his theme playing makes this game's rating go to 100/5 stars.
obrigado vergil obrigado dante
I’m still at the beginning but holy shit Nero is so fucking cringe it’s driving me absolutely mad, will update when I’m done.
Done now, pretty underwhelming ending, Vergil is my favourite video game antagonist of all time and he just got fucked by plot-armored cringe Nero, he didn’t even sound serious, this guy gave me the hardest time of my life in DMC3, but here he’s just so blatant. I’ll still give it 2.5 stars just because I love Dante, but this game really didn’t live up to my expectations, nothing will top Devil May Cry 3.

Jackpot.
i hope dante explodes
Great game but I still think Devil may cry 3 is just more focused than this. Devil may cry 3 also has more variety in the stages with puzzles and clever expropriation. The boss line up is also stronger in 3, but there were a few boss battles I really enjoyed in 5. The music is also great. I wouldn't say it's the best soundtrack out of the franchise. But I personally like the other soundtracks more especially the soundtrack from Devil may cry 2. Newcomer V is a really interesting idea I also had fun playing him. But in execution he is kinda junk and unresponsive. The story was really great in this game. I think Nero earned his protagonist status with this game he had some great moments in the story. Only one thing that bugs me about the story is that both Lady and Trish had so little to do in the story that was kind of disappointing. Combat in this game is obviously superb it's really good. It's classic dmc like the combat opens up fast the game gives you in general so many options to do things with different effects. Sin Devil trigger goes so hard man it's just so sick I love it. Haven't played Vergil yet. I probably will update the review in the near future hopefully.
Depois de zerar esse jogo 7 vezes eu entendi que a gameplay do V e do Nero eram chatas pra caralho e a primeira metade desse jogo é ESPANCAMENTO games, prefiro tomar um tiro doq jogar esse jogo sem os personagens upados.
Mas a gameplay do Dante desse jogo é tão foda que dá vontade de chorar então o jogo é mt bom

"I didn't come all this way just for nothin'!!"
Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition is an absolute triumph in the world of action-adventure gaming, and it's safe to say that it exceeded all of my expectations when I first got my hands on it in 2020. As a long-time fan of the series, this game was a true love letter to the franchise and a testament to the incredible evolution it has undergone since its inception.
One of the standout features of DMC5 SE is its stunning visuals. The graphics are simply breathtaking, pushing the capabilities of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X to their limits. The character models, environments, and special effects are all incredibly detailed and realistic, immersing you in a world that is both visually stunning and beautifully dark.
The gameplay is where DMC 5 truly shines. It maintains the series' trademark fast-paced, stylish combat while introducing new playable characters like Vergil, each with their unique playstyle and abilities. The game strikes a perfect balance between accessibility and depth, making it enjoyable for newcomers and longtime fans alike. The combat is a dance of chaos and precision, and mastering the various moves and combos is immensely satisfying.
Vergil, in particular, stole the show for me. His gameplay feels distinct from the other characters, with his rapid sword strikes and teleportation abilities adding a layer of strategy to battles. Playing as Vergil was a dream come true for longtime fans of the character, and it was a delight to explore his backstory and motivations. I also really, REALLY enjoyed playing as Nero perhaps even moreso than Vergil due to his new Devil Breaker system.
The level design in DMC 5 is also top-notch. The environments are diverse, ranging from eerie demonic landscapes to modern cityscapes, and they are all meticulously crafted to provide a dynamic backdrop to the action. The game's pacing is well-balanced, with moments of intense combat interspersed with quieter, story-driven sequences that allow you to delve deeper into the characters' personalities and relationships.
Story-wise, Devil May Cry 5 continues the saga of the demon hunter Dante and his companions Nero and newcomer to the series, V, as they face a new and formidable threat. The narrative is engaging and well-paced, with unexpected twists and turns that keep you invested in the characters and their mission. The voice acting is superb, adding depth and authenticity to the characters' emotions and interactions.
As a special edition, the game also includes additional content and improvements, such as the Legendary Dark Knight difficulty mode and the Turbo Mode for those seeking an even greater challenge. The inclusion of ray tracing on next-gen consoles elevates the visual experience to a whole new level, making the game even more breathtaking.
In conclusion, Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition is a masterpiece that showcases the pinnacle of action-adventure gaming. Its stunning visuals, engaging gameplay, and memorable characters make it a must-play for both newcomers and die-hard fans of the series. It's a testament to the dedication and creativity of the development team at Capcom and a game that will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the standout titles of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X era. If you're looking for a thrilling, stylish, and utterly satisfying gaming experience, look no further than this game.
