ZG writes: I think the best thing that could have happened to the Devil May Cry was being tasked to Ninja Theory to build the new game. While Hideki Kamiya’s wonderfully excessive design is still one of the most celebrated ‘hack n’ slash’ series, the later titles were becoming a bit stagnant. The series represented everything that was great about the genre in the past, and was begging for a fresh approach to take it into the future. Enslaved thought us that ‘fresh’ is exactly was Ninja Theory are capable of with their approach to crafting games.
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."
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."
NVIDIA continues to add games to GeForce NOW. This week, Devil May Cry 5, Gears Tactics, and The Crew Motorfest lead the charge.
Really!?!! Better than handing it to Platinum games you think? Maybe that wasn't possible, but you think Ninja Theory were the best possible people to hand this to?
