Devil May Cry 5
4.8/5
White hot
Three demon hunters, outrageous combos and a heavy-metal soundtrack. Style is the score.
Help on offer
Human difficulty and auto-assist mode for combos.
What you do
Chain sword, gun and demon attacks into combos graded from D to SSS, across 20 missions with three playable characters.
Who it suits
Anyone who wants to feel incredibly cool. Easier modes exist; mastery is the challenge.
First contact
A city overrun by a demon tree, and Nero with a new robotic arm. Within minutes you are juggling enemies in the air.
The grind
Each character plays very differently, especially the strange, wonderful V.
When to cool down
Missions are short; stop after one or two.
Burns bright
- Best combo combat ever
- Three very different heroes
- Short missions
Burns you
- Story is silly
- Some optional extras cost money
Verdict
Pure style. Easy to start, a lifetime to master.
