Lovelovelovelovelove this game so much man.
Mission Structure is still wholly stuck in the early 2000's but aside from that, Devil May Cry 5 does A LOT right. Story is predictable but satisfying, Combat is incredibly rewarding and cool. I personally am really attached to when a game loves its music, and this game LOVES it's music, Not all of it hits for me but a good majority of it does, So having a battle theme like DEVIL TRIGGER play every time I get into a fight with Nero feels so hype man. Speaking of Nero, When I played Devil May Cry 4 in 2008 I "liked" Nero. He was fine. I don't quite know what it is, but I love that dude this time around. I love a lot of these characters this time around. Nero and Nico are great. Dante is of course a smash hit. V is in the corner being poetic and goth and that's cool. Griffon is amazing. Vergil himself is my favourite version of himself to date. Just a great character action game. You should play please. Don't even get me started on Bury The Light brother.
