Gamers-Association: "Devil May Cry is one of those franchises that I never got into. Back in 2001 when the first game came out I was still pretty much a Nintendo fanboy. So buying a PlayStation 2 with Devil May Cry instead of a GameCube with Luigi’s mansion a month later seemed absolutely ridiculous. After skipping past the original Devil May Cry I just never went back to it, and saw no reason to pickup any of the sequels. Lucky for me rebooting franchises from previous generations became a trend near the end of last gen. So, just like with Tomb Raider this seemed like a great time to jump into Devil May Cry. I wasn’t too sure what I should expect going in, all I had heard previously was that these games were difficult and had a unique ridiculousness to them."

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.
