Check out the review scores from this month's issue of EDGE.
The friendly folks over at Razer recently sent us their full size Kishi Ultra mobile gaming controller, and this thing didn't disappoint.
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."
Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.
Still a good game though.
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
2.

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
Vanillaware's tactical role-playing game Unicorn Overlord is a beautiful mix of old mechanics and new-age graphics, with over 65 unique recruitable characters and a rich storyline.
Only 8 for Smash Bros?
DriveClub – 7
Forza Horizon 2 – 7
Sony must have paid for review parity.
Surprised Horizon 2 got a 7. It's probably the best driving game I've played in a long time and I would give it an 8.
Not tried Driveclub yet.
An 8 for Destiny seems right to me.
Surprised at the FH2 review. I haven't personally got it but going by average reviews I kind of expected to be a given that it would score higher than Driveclub.
Alien Isolation an 8, who would have thought? Hopefully my issue will have arrived when I get home tonight. It'll be an interesting read.
Edge are normally pretty spot on, they don't get wrapped up in hype and fanboy ism, can see things from an objective perspective and very rarely get it wrong, the fact they have given barely 15/20 10/10's over 10/15 years says it all. They won't big up something unless it earns it, suprised smash bros didn't sneak a 9 at least tho. Still an 8 from Edge is no shoddy game.
