![]() The narrative overall was pretty solid, though I can’t really compare it to previous titles in the franchise. Yeah, I’m oversimplifying, but I don’t want to spoil every story beat. Everyone parts ways as unlikely friends, and good times are had by all. ![]() Revelations are had, boss fights ensue, and cheesy lines are delivered. All three are eventually able to reach the apex, where conveniently, the story also reaches its climax. When their paths diverge, V is able to find the devil sword, Sparda, and a comatose Dante, allowing them to both push forward. V and Nero, along with mechanic, Nico, work their way through Red Grave City, back towards the Qliphoth, hoping to go toe-to-toe with Urizen again. Once the demon king, Urizen, kicks the hell out of Dante, and forces V and Nero to retreat, the story falls into its stride. With the variation in combat provided by these three playable characters, and compelling storyline (complete with high stakes), Devil May Cry 5 puts the pedal to the metal, and never lets up. It’s up to the Devil Hunters, Nero and Dante, at the request of the mysterious V, to stop its growth and defeat the demon king. A giant, demonic tree – sustained by human blood – is taking over Red Grave City, with a seemingly invincible demon king at its core. Sure, there are some issues, and the dialogue can get a bit eye-rolly at parts, but this title was an absolute blast to play. It’s unapologetically ridiculous – the kind of game where lines like “I hope you brought the marshmallows, cause I’m bringing the fire!” are delivered with complete conviction. Like Nico’s signature Devil May Cry van, and questionable driving habits, Devil May Cry 5 is fast, wild, and more than a little bit unbelievable its action careens forward, propelling the plot at breakneck speed, and just when you think the game can’t get any crazier, it does. And I’m happy to report that I’m glad I did. Even though I knew I was going to be utterly shite, I had to play it. But Devil May Cry 5 appealed to me immediately – the music, the graphics, the style. I’ve never played any of the games before, simply because I’m not particularly good at the style of combat they demand. This is my first stab at the Devil May Cry franchise.
