You’re getting one of the best and slickest action games available in a richer package that is still quite impressive on the go.

Overall, Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition is a great game to have included on Nintendo Switch 2 and developers did an excellent job of porting to the console without compromising the experience all all. The beautiful gothic aesthetic in art style, environments, and soundtrack convey the developers message perfectly. Split time between 3 different protagonists makes for a more interesting experience both as far as the story and in combat. This game is a must play, especially if you have not played it before on other platforms or only play on Nintendo consoles.

Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition brings the best in show of character action to the Switch 2, and it runs so damn perfectly there.

Devil May Cry 5 is an incredible game in its own right. Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition is an essential port for the Nintendo Switch 2—further proof that Capcom knows how to work efficiently with the console and can deliver a high-quality native experience, whether on TV or in handheld mode, even if it took a while and skipped a game.

Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition is an excellent Switch 2 port that preserves the game's stylish and endlessly replayable action while delivering smooth 60 FPS performance in both handheld and docked modes. There's no new content, but everything released for DMC5 is here, making this an easy recommendation for anyone looking to experience one of the best action games in recent memory.

Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition works wonderfully on the Nintendo Switch 2, finally giving Nintendo diehards the chance to experience one of the best Capcom games of the last decade. It looks fantastic and runs incredibly well, once again impressing me with how far ahead the Switch 2 is of its predecessor. This is a great way to play Devil May Cry 5, and it’s never a bad time to revisit such a brilliant title.

Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition brings the demon-slaying action of the franchise's peak to the Nintendo Switch 2. It is a fabulous port of the game, though it lacks any new content and features a rather mundane photo mode. If you've never experienced the game, there's absolutely no excuse not to jump in immediately. The over-the-top action and stylish cutscenes are just delightful, and you'll be hard-pressed to find a better game in the genre on Switch 2 than DMC5.

The brilliant gameplay of Devil May Cry 5 hasn't aged one bit, making this Devil Hunter Edition of the game, packing in extras such as playable Vergil and more, a must-have. With its great visuals and solid performance, the only real disappointment here is the lack of some additional modes found in the previous Special Edition.

Almost 7 years after its original release, Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition makes it clear that Capcom's action game stands the test of time. Playing on a Nintendo Switch 2 comes with little to no compromises, so if this is your first time experiencing it, know you'll get the real deal and a game worth absolutely every penny.

Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition may not be the ultimate version of the game, but it’s another strong port from Capcom that especially excels when played in handheld mode. The core game has plenty to offer, and it’s fantastic to have Vergil included without any additional cost. It’s unfortunate that not everything from the Special Edition could be included, but despite that, Devil May Cry 5 is still easily one of the best games of this kind that you can play on the Nintendo Switch 2.
