Faster and more fluent – is there anything else to wish for, especially that the game itself is still amazing? Actually, the Special Edition has much more going for it, including a new difficulty level, new rendering modes (up to 4K 30 fps with ray tracing), and the ability to play as Vergil. Sadly, the new character doesn’t come with his own levels. I also need to point out fps drops in the 120 Hz mode, and lackluster use of DualSense’s features. [02/2021, p.48]

While light in the storytelling department, there’s enough here to keep fans happy and more than enough stylish demon slaying to keep this series engaging.

If you haven’t yet played Devil May Cry 5 and you have a new console at home, don’t waste a second and go buy this brilliant action game. If you’re a veteran, just buy the Vergil DLC and be done with it.

Even though the game is short, it delivers exciting combat with different archetypes (V, Nero and Dante), a decent story and a fitting soundtrack. Worth playing it!

My favorite character finally arrives, with super strong powers. Adding to this, this game is definitely worth playing.

Original Devil May Cry 5 on steroids. Glorious hack’n’slash looks as good as ever and while you won’t find an actual new content, it is still fun to play. [Issue#308]

Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition doesn’t offer any massive surprises for veteran fans, but as a fresh chapter for newcomers? It makes one of the best action games of the last generation one of the most thrilling of the new generation.

From a purely technical perspective, Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition is a triumph. Delivering gorgeous ray traced lighting, blistering framerates, and high resolution, coupled with speedy load times and eye-popping visuals, Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition is the best possible rendition of the game. Returning special features like Turbo mode, Legendary Dark Knight mode, and Vergil himself is sure to keep any air-juggling Devil May Cry fan happy.

Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition is a simply unmissable opportunity for those who have not yet had the opportunity to play the game: with its exceptional visuals and a steady framerate, it's an excellent trailblazer for the upcoming 9th generation of gaming.

Um ótimo Hack in Slash com uma qualidade grafica absurdamente linda e uma historia bem legalzinha de acompanhar, no mais gostei do jogo com boas mecânicas e valeu o tempo gasto =D

It's my 1st DMC game if not count some half-hour attempt to play a PC port of DMC3, I believe, back in the school days.
You could only imagine how terrible of an experience it was. Wasn't sure what to expect from this one, but it turns out quite a fun run. Among the minuses, I can highlight a rather mediocre plot - firstly, the video about previous chapters is itself quite confusing and does not really shed light on the events and characters. However, as far as I understand, this is a rather trivial thing when it comes to DMC. The plot of the current part, although in some places it pleases with its humor and some twists, but on the whole it looks more like an excuse for all the action happening around, rather than a truly important and well-written story. Speaking of the action, it is quite well staged, varied and fresh. However, despite this and the rather modest size of the main story, at some point the gameplay begins to feel repetitive and uses the same level patterns, despite the changing main characters, weapons and enemies. Overall, this is a pretty nice game, with great graphics, ok humor and fun action. Yet, it's hard to call it outstanding or impressive enough to recommend the game for everyone.

The dodge mechanic, the sole way to avpid damage isn't reliable or responsive. You can be not in the middle of an attack, spamming the dodge command, and your character simply won't dodge about half the time. Other times the dodge actually occurs, but you still get hit. Garbage controls and mechanics result in an unfun, frustrating, artificial difficulty fest. But I'm sure some people will bang their heads against the wall until the game lets them win, and feel proud about themselves. Hence, the high ratings. Don't pay one red cent for this dumpster fire.
