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.
I have so many problems with this article
I understand the frustration over the mission selection being locked to characters. But the whole complaint about mastery? You have the Bloody Palace for that.
As for the part about Dante being overpowered, well at some point in the 5 games he is supposed to get more powerful (?). That's a proper narrative arc. If an underdog is always an underdog there is no progression.
The part about transitioning to different levels via silly actions. Yeah, they could have cut that in the previous games as well.
The whole thing about DmC having some kind of "greater" purpose is just fake. They couldn't have made it in any more cringe inducing. One semi-valid complaint is the sexualization of the women. If they weren't there in the story, shouldn't have sexualized them.
And btw, I am not saying DMC5 is perfect. But it has other issues - level design, arms hidden behind a paywall, etc etc
