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.
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
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.

Invalidated review based on that alone.
I haven't really took much interest in this as I've never been a huge fan of the series, but having watched this video due to all the bitching and whining I've been reading today I think it looks pretty bloody good. Might have to buy it now.
Damn i might have to buy this too lol
I guess I was right. It was gonna turn out better than RE6 despite the sales.
I kinda expected these reviews cause the media loved Enslaved even though the people did not. Also i know i may get disagrees for this but i feel that the industry is getting too soft. Meaning that accessibility is more important now than evolving the gameplay. Lower standards are more the norm for games which i do not believe is the right direction we should be headed in games.
The game may be good it may not be but my biggest fear with this game was the dialogue & story. Adam Sessler hit it on the head saying that the games dialogue is juvenile at best. The past Devil May Cry games had cheesy dialogue cause it was not trying to be serious, while from everything that i have heard from DmC is that it is trying too hard to be serious resulting in horrible writing.
It's just like with George Lucas trying to be serious with the Star Wars prequels but ending up making a mockery of them with bad writing.
