Adam from GamersFTW writes "We all know sequels can be volatile things; in gaming, movies and just about any other creative work. Have the developers finished cutting their teeth and warming up, ready to take us to a whole new level or was the original a beautiful accident and the sequel a less beautiful one?"
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."
Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.
Still a good game though.
Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5
2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me
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
2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.
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
This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.

Ah Pokemon Gold and Silver. Good times. Getting the Johoto and Kanto regions in one game. Great improvement
Timesplitters 2 is one of my favourite games of all time and a textbook example of a sequel that trumped the original in every regard. Such a shame we'll probably never see a sequel now :(
In an ideal world, all sequels should be a huge step from its predecessors, but blimey, Pokemon Gold and Silver took Red and Blue for a spin. Great work compressing all that data in order to fit two games in one.
Gold and Silver > Red and Blue
Devil May Cry 3 was always my favourite. 2 was very stagnant...
