Devil May Cry 5 was the gift that kept on giving, Every time I assumed the game had peaked the game just went "Yeah okay here's a cutscene of Dante busting it down Micheal Jackson style". It's addicting on how good the combat is, hell just fucking around in the training mode is fun. Basically every single combo you can think of probably works and it feels so satisfying to just smash enemies face it while doing the coolest fucking combos on the planet. I'll cover the characters from worse to best. First we got V, he's a summoner and honestly my least favorite to play as. He's still a load of fun, shooting out lightning with the griffin is feels awesome, and absolutely drilling into things on panther is satisfying as hell too, never to mention the fact he can summon this giant ass goblin thing that dishes out the pain like nothing else. He has to finish enemies off himself with his cane and chaining enemy kills together is such a joy. Now next up is Nero, he's the tutorial character but that doesn't mean he doesn't have depth to him, trust me he does. He has a mechanic where you can charge up his sword if you time pressing the shoulder button correctly and my god does it feel good. His basic sword combos ain't the only thing Nero has packing. He has an arsenal of devil breakers that really ups his combo game, This gives him a variety of moves from shooting his arm off like a rocket, drilling into the enemy, and so much more. You can even super charge them for a super power special move but unfortunately the devil breakers break soon after. Next up on the list we have Dante him. Dante has so much shit to him it'll be hard to explain. He can rotate between different styles and learning how to switch between them mid combo is so satisfying to pull off. He has trickster which lets him teleport to enemies, gunslinger which powers up his guns and gives them special moves, royal guard which lets him parry enemy attacks, and finally sword master which ups his already insane combo game by giving him even more moves to use. Dante also has so many weapons I'll only cover my favorites. First we got Dr.Faust this is basically a gambling hat, He can put a small hat onto enemies which makes them drop money, and he can also just shoot said money like a machine gun that absolutely shreds through bosses, not mention how he can just summon a meteor storm in gunslinger. Dante's classic pistols Ebony and Ivory are no slouch either, these are great for extending air time and juggles, they're basic but violently effective. There's a reason one of Dante's most iconic move with them is him finishing off final bosses with them while saying jackpot. One of his physical weapons is deadass just a motorbike which is as sick as it sounds, Dante splits them apart and uses them as chain saws and if you hold the attack button down he just drills into them, and of course he also runs over fools with them. Other one of his physical weapons are nunjucks, Unlike in DMC 3 these nunjucks not only have control over, electricity, ice, and fire, but can also turn it into a staff in swordmaster mode and honestly the entire weapons kit is sick as fuck. Not to mention all of Dante's weapons just flow and combo together so nicely he has some sick skills. Lastly we have Vergil and I'm just gonna link a on video on why Vergil is just the coolest mf ever created cause he explains better than I can. https://youtu.be/gQ-M3-TcC-g Anyways this game literally smoking sexy style just play it. I don't think anyone can really do it justice by talking about you just have to play it
