![]() ![]() There are still plenty of moments that are great fanfare and deliver cathartic resolutions to arcs players have been following for years. Sometimes it’s clear they were going for a big, shocking reveal but you just say to yourself “Wow, I figured that out hours ago,” That’s not to say the story is bad, just don’t expect anything that consistently keeps you on your toes. Devil May Cry 5 features the continuation of damming family feuds, one big twist that made me audibly gasp, and much more. This is far more character driven than I initially expected, it’s a plot largely centered around the melodrama of these characters we’ve been following for nearly 20 years. For a while, I was a bit disappointed by the very predictable and basic nature of the overall narrative, some of which can get confusing and can feel contrived, but it’s carried by a small cast of charismatic characters who hold it up. Good guys must save the day from a rather generic enemy who wants to take over the world. Things quickly go awry and this is where the game truly kicks off, it’s up to this trio of playable characters to fight through the demon-infested city and ensure Urizen doesn’t completely conquer the world.Ī predictable yet still enjoyable story made for the fans:ĭevil May Cry 5’s story starts off rather by the numbers, in all honesty. After losing his left arm to him, Nero seeks out the demonic figure in Red Grave City and crosses paths with Dante and V. The Underworld is rising up and consuming the planet with a mighty force known as Urizen at the helm. V hires Dante to investigate some demon attacks but these aren’t any ordinary demon attacks, they’re the beginning of the end of Earth as we know it. Platform: Xbox One (reviewed), PlayStation 4, and PCĪfter over a decade since DMC 4 (yeah, DmC exists but Capcom is choosing to mostly forget that game), Dante is back and a mysterious man calling himself V wanders into his office. Let me tell ya folks, I’ve played a lot of video games, reviewed dozens (hundreds?) and Devil May Cry 5 is one of the most smile-inducing games on the market.ĭISCLAIMER: A review copy was provided by the publisher. Resident Evil 7, Monster Hunter World, Resident Evil 2 Remake, all the stuff they’ve done with Mega Man, and now… this. After playing Devil May Cry 5, I’m pretty convinced Capcom can do no wrong anymore. ![]()
