Dustin Spencer from Capsule Computers writes: "Over two years ago, Ninja Theory and Capcom came together and announced DmC as a full reboot for the Devil May Cry franchise, causing the entire fanbase to erupt in anger. Dante sported a much shorter haircut, donning short, black locks - and his attitude reeked of a new found arrogance that this group just couldn't get past. Since then, this one title has triggered numerous debates and controversy, adding in more ammunition for the distrusting public to use against Capcom.
Judgement day has finally come. Dante is back, and like it or not - DmC is the best Devil May Cry to date. That is a bold statement to start off a review - but hear me out. Changing a character doesn't hurt a franchise when it is done right, and that is exactly what Ninja Theory achieved with this new and improved version of the much loved IP. Go ahead. Lay those pitchforks and torches down, as we present to you our review of DmC: Devil May Cry."

Devil May Cry 5 surpasses 10 million sales as Netflix animated series drives major surge in franchise popularity.

It's been six years since Capcom dropped Devil May Cry 5, but it's still more than worth replaying in 2025 thanks to its rich gameplay.
Because the anime is on Netflix and we gotta ride that DMC in the news again wave.
It’s been sitting in my backlog for a while now. One of the first games I wanted to try for this current gen due to the long load times of previous gen. I’ll get around to it soon!
Everytime its on sale I think about buying it but never do. I only played the orginal and somr of 3 so I guess that's part of it.

Steam's Summer Sale looks primed for Steam Deck players - with a huge collection of titles on offer for the handheld.
The new dante is pretty much the only male video game protagonist I have ever found to be actually sexy.
Good for them on the reviews. Still not buying it though lol. Boss only took 2-4 mins at times and the ending sucks
I had my doubts at first, but I guess Team Ninja pulled it off
