"Let’s just get this out of the way first: Yes, DmC: Devil May Cry is a reboot set in an alternate universe, the world is a little more realistic and Dante and company are a little more vulgar than before, the combat isn’t as complicated and different from past installments and finally, yes, because of these things stated, Ninja Theory has been given the freedom to craft one of the best Devil May Cry games that I’ve had the pleasure of playing. DmC is set in Limbo City where demos run things and its up to Dante, after some convincing from a human girl named Kat and his long lost brother Vergil, to get rid of the demon king Mundus and help the humans achieve true freedom. Unlike the past games, the demons aren’t in the same space as humans and are instead all based in an area called Limbo where Dante gets dragged into from time to time since Mundus is trying to get rid of the last of the Nephilim." - Terrence Billingsley of Geekenstein.com
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...
5, 3, 1, 4, 2.
I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.
But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Devil May Cry 5, the latest iteration in the iconic DMC franchise by Capcom, still holds its own as a fantastic hack-and-slash in 2024."
