Dante’s had a makeover and it’s for the better. Ninja Theory haven’t really set the world on fire with their past work but everyone learns, right. You did, I did, plenty of people did. It’s about getting chances to correct the wrong and apply whatever you have learned to churn out a better result.
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.
The new DMC has better graphics, better story telling and great characterization, Younger Ameture Dante
The old DMC had better, faster gampleplay and over the top action and story line, Mature funny Dante...
Both Dante are likeable in my opinion.. Still old dante had more style but ppl should know that old dante had more WISDOM :P...
Furthermore, this new dante cares about his relationship with vergil but the old dante was too cool to care about is brother and the dark path vergil has chosen. Still old dante is way more stylish but cammon both DMC had some unfinished areas. Stop hating Ninja theory..
Accept it or not, Ninja theory pulled of a great DMC game and i appreciate there effort.. bdw, loved the new vergil :)... both DMCs and Dante rock..

"The new DMC has better story telling and great characterization"
What?
ok,without any hate towards ninja theory this is (at least for me) real problems : short game,slowed-down combat and simplified compared to earlier sequels,not enough different enemies which wasnt the case in dmc series,repetitive and boring bosses,to many jumping,puzzles are practically removed from a game,try-hard story and totally missing the point what means dante and whole dmc thing.
playable and better than dmc2 and dm4 in some ways,but dmc 1&3 is the way that dmc should be.
