Oh man, Devil May Cry 5 is a banger game and it lets you know this right from the start. The opening cutscene features Nero cutting down demons in style while "Devil Trigger" plays in the background and it did such a good job of showing me what i'm in for. This is my first DMC game and the game did a damn good first impression for the series. It helps that this game fully embraces all the dumb shit that happens and treats it in such a cool manner. Every character had great chemistry with each other and it was enhanced by the amazing performances of the voice actors. As far as the presentation goes, it's pretty perfect.
On the side of gameplay, i love how similar yet how different both Nero and Dante feel. It's hard for me to say exactly which one i liked playing as more, both have their own little quirks that make them standout. Like i guess if you held a gun to my head and asked me to chose, i'd say Nero because he has the grapple and everybody knows that putting a grapple in your action game automatically makes it good. On the flip side, Dante has more weapons to play around with and combined with his different Styles, you can do some pretty sweet combos. That said, i mainly used Trickster because of the funny dash. Yeah, i can't decide, both characters are fun to play as.
Meanwhile, V is probably the weakest part of the entire game. Both on the gameplay side and on the character side. Gameplay-wise, i generally don't like playing "summon" characters which is very much what V is. Any mission where i was forced to play as V, i kinda just wanted to get it over with. His character didn't really do much for me either. Thankfully, you do play as him the least. I'll also say that i think the game could've been a bit, just a bit, longer. Missions 17-20 just go by pretty fast and while i wouldn't say the game ended abruptly (especially since the final battle is very hype), it does feel like there should've been a bit more. But you know, i can't really complain to much here. Devil May Cry 5 is very based and i definitely want to play the older games in the future.
