For a long time, I was obsessed with Devil May Cry 5's music and art style, however, I never actually played a Devil May Cry game before. 3 years later, I finally decided to play Devil May Cry 5.
I'm gonna be honest, the gameplay didn't necessarily surprise me at first because I'm a newcomer to the series and I couldn't play the game properly, but after getting used to Nero's moveset, things got infinitely better. V's moveset didn't bother me because it basically revolves around button-mashing, unfortunately, and that's probably the only gripe I have about Devil May Cry 5's gameplay, but Dante's moveset on the other hand, left me speechless; it single-handedly elevates Devil May Cry 5's gameplay as arguably my absolute favorite gameplay in any videogame, ever!
Seriously, the amount of variety and depth in his moveset is simply unmatched.
I don't remember the last time where my enjoyment with a game skyrocketed that much in such a short amount of time; from the moment Dante becomes playable, the game gets much better.
Heck, he even made me buy Vergil's DLC, which is pretty good; Vergil's moveset is incredible as well!
The story, however, is just serviceable, but it's not an important part of the game.
The characters are likeable despite having cheesy dialogue, which is intentional anyway.
The music is absolutely phenomenal and the visuals are breathtaking.
The level design though, is definitely one of Devil May Cry 5's weakest aspects.
Also, the game has microtransactions, even though they're mostly an afterthought and they didn't affect my experience at all.
Pros:
+ Excellent gameplay
+ Nice characters
+ Awesome music
+ Gorgeous graphics and cutscenes
Cons:
- V's moveset
- Uninspired level design
Narrative: ?/10
Gameplay: 10/10
Content: ?/10
Characters: 7/10
Music: 10/10
Graphics/Audio: 10/10
Final Rating: 9/10
- Amazing -
Devil May Cry 5 is a banger! It's a superb Action - Hack 'n' Slash game and a perfect example of peak gameplay.
Do I recommend it?:
Hell yes, a must-play for fans of the genre. However, I wouldn't recommend it to people who don't enjoy playing games with complex and demanding gameplay.
