"The controversy surrounding DmC: Devil May Cry has started to build up again, to the point where longtime series fans are once again steamrolling forums and comments sections with their rants about how they won’t be picking up the game. At this point, I’ve pretty much accepted that they just personally don’t like the game’s new direction or perhaps its gameplay alterations, and that’s understandable. However, that doesn’t mean I don’t have a rant of my own to give you folks tonight, because there’s been one recent event in particular that I feel needs to be addressed." (Michael Urban, OnlySP.com)
It's been six years since Capcom dropped Devil May Cry 5, but it's still more than worth replaying in 2025 thanks to its rich gameplay.
Because the anime is on Netflix and we gotta ride that DMC in the news again wave.
It’s been sitting in my backlog for a while now. One of the first games I wanted to try for this current gen due to the long load times of previous gen. I’ll get around to it soon!
One of the best, stylish, and fun action slasher on the system. You definitely should get to it, as soon as you can.
The DMC5 team went on to make Dragons Dogma 2, the DMC director (3,4,5) left capcom to make an action game at another studio and the rumor is that a DMC remake is next...so i wouldn't hold my breath on DMC6.
Everytime its on sale I think about buying it but never do. I only played the orginal and somr of 3 so I guess that's part of it.
Steam's Summer Sale looks primed for Steam Deck players - with a huge collection of titles on offer for the handheld.
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.
Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5
2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me
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.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.
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
This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.
*hits head against desk* It has NOTHING to do with the game's new direction. It's just that the game took away so much of what made Devil May Cry so good in the first place! I'd be somewhat fine with new Dante, I'd be fine with all the new characters, and the scenery, and the look of the game. Those things don't bother me as much as the horrible gameplay decisions they made. Plus the fact that they blatantly threw hate at old school fans of the series who rightfully complained about serious issues the game had.

Sorry, you'll have to forgive me. I just start feeling like I'm one of the only ones who even gave a crap about what Devil May Cry used to be at times...
Please: stop talking.
I don't even want to hear about this damn game anymore.
It's not a sex scene. They have their clothes on.
I don't care if sex is in a game or not but you don't NEED it for characterization at all unless the person themselves is a freak or nympho.
I don't even mind dantes new look(although I prefer the old one) and the gameplay feels good but I'm not liking the new direction, vulgarity and what not. Seems like they think that it needs to be more dirty and disgusting to broaden their fan base. I don't care for it, but that's just me.
