This game was incredible. While the story isn't something I would consider groundbreaking, it's still enjoyable. That being said, it does tend to jump around a lot, causing it to be confusing at some moments.
The one thing Devil May Cry 5 nails is the combat. There are three playable characters in this game and all their styles are fun. Dante's style is a great evolution from the previous installments (and finally getting to use a motorcycle, thank god).
Nero's is fun, but probably my least favorite to play as. He plays similarly to how he played in DMC 4 but lacks a demonic arm this time around (and no Devil Trigger for the majority of it too). To compensate for this change, Nero now has a variety of cybernetic arms to fight with. They're serviceable. I'm just glad they kept the retractable arm gimmick during combat.
While Dante and Nero fight similarly in a lot of aspects, the same cannot be said about V. V doesn't do most of his fighting. Instead, he uses enemies from the first game. I was apprehensive of this style at first but ended up thoroughly enjoying it. I loved seeing those enemies again and using them in battle was so fun.
Another thing this game nails is its soundtrack. Oh my lord, it is glorious. It's been stated many times before and I'll be another person on a long list who said this, but Devil Trigger is an amazing song (and so are the other battle themes).
The characters were great (for the most part). The returning cast is amazing as always. As for the new characters, V is cool. As I stated, his playstyle is fun and his character was neat. Nico (another new character) is the only member of the cast I had mixed feelings about. I sometimes found her annoying, other times she was funny. She's okay I guess.
Devil May Cry 5 is a great title. With great gameplay and a nice story to boot, a person can easily have a great time playing through it.
