Devil May Cry 5, though, provides a plot that is much more gratifyingly wholesome overall.
In the past, the series has riskily experimented with lead roles and plot development. Most notably, the story is much more meaningful this time around. True to form, Devil May Cry 5 retains the series staple of exhilarating combat but exceeds in others way too. A blank canvas, where combat inspires creativity, and innovation meets artistry.Īs you string together kill streaks and combine butt-kicking combos with def-defying acrobatics, a soothing sense of catharsis takes hold as the spectacular grandeur of your actions sinks in. Battle then, by DMC's definition, is not ruthless, no-thrills conflict, but a place where beauty blooms on the battlefield. However, none share the brazen, bold-faced audacity inherent in the Devil May Cry formula. There are many great games with rock-solid combat.
All of which act as the beating heart, and the driving force behind this heralded hack-and-slash series. In truth, Devil May Cry, as a series, isn't famed for the strength of its narrative, but rather, the smooth, transitional fluidity of its core systems. On that note, I can reminisce fondly upon the first entry in Capcom's celebrated franchise, and not just with rose-tinted glasses.
