Swedish magazine LEVEL has reviewed DmC Devil May Cry.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...
5, 3, 1, 4, 2.
I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.
But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Devil May Cry 5, the latest iteration in the iconic DMC franchise by Capcom, still holds its own as a fantastic hack-and-slash in 2024."
NVIDIA continues to add games to GeForce NOW. This week, Devil May Cry 5, Gears Tactics, and The Crew Motorfest lead the charge.
As expected.
I do not think there was any surprise that this game was going to do well with reviews, especially considering how the media has defended Capcom and Ninja Theory since day 1. OXM gave it a 9/10 as well and I am expecting PSM, IGN and Destructoid to give it a high score of 9/10 as well. Jim Sterling possibly even giving it a 10/10.
Summary from LEVEL magazine was: (Source NeoGAF - http://www.neogaf.com/forum... )
- Lots of fun variation in the level design. Dante swings between platforms, avoids incoming trains and explores vertical sewers
- The multiple stage transformations throughout the game is well integrated in the story that is being told
- Ninja Theory is taking a more serious approach than Capcom in the story-department
- The controls in DmC isn't as good as in the previous DMC-games - it's much better
- DMC-veterans will feel "home"
- Basically all the changes has been for the better good; combining Devil May Cry's deep, sophisticated action with the modern action-adventure stage-design
I'm really happy for the developers. Congrats on taking the huge risk, and still pulling it off! :)
Good job, NT!
I wonder how much Capcom is spending in order to get good reviews? The demo, and everything I have seen sucks so much.
but the Official Xbox Magazine has awarded it a 9 too.
Fans may cry. Grab onto something folks - there's a tidal wave of tears a-coming.
