I will review Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition primarily as a Special Edition, relative to the original game.

As a Special Edition, truth be told, I actually find it quite criminal that they didn't add these features to PC. It'll hamper the game's accessibility in the long term. I think every gamer with the opportunity deserves to play Turbo Mode in 120fps. I can pretend not to be a graphics nutcase, but this game tickles my soul. Makes me feel like I'm at the apex of gaming. Devil May Cry 5 is truly a masterpiece.

If you have the PC version, though... Don't lose sleep over the fact that they gatekept these features behind a $500 console. It's a silly decision of them not to port it, but the PC version is still fantastic in its own right. They hit the ground running from the start.

But, yeah, do consider hopping on this game. DMC5 is DMC5, no matter what machine you've got it on.
