I still remember when I started playing Devil May Cry 3 on PS2, and today it's amazing what it became, I never thought of playing a new DMC again on a next generation console and I must say that it was worth the wait of their latest project with amazing gameplay and action scenes.
My story with the franchise:
Devil May Cry is a project created by no more no less than Capcom, in which they specialize in combat games. I actually did not play the first two games, but I will always remember the unique experience I had on my childhood when I tried DMC 3. As a child I always wanted a game that allows me to have any kind of weapons and have the freedom to use them at any time I want and doing different kinds of combos. Dante's main weapon is the Rebellion, but I still remember when Dante acquire his guitar and you can use it as a weapon by playing it, that was a lot bizarre in a good way to me. You just have fun by killing demons over and over again and you never get bored.
That experience motivated me to try DMC 4 and I was glad that I did. Introducing this new young character called Nero and a new way to improve the battle combos with his demon arm. This game was his first presentation to the franchise, where they entertain us with his love story with a girl called Kyrie, and tell us how he met Dante. What made this game great was that they allowed us to play with Nero and Dante, both had their own missions and the dynamic of their different abilities, skills, or weapons, made this game more entertaining than the previous ones. And their own personalities and ways of combat make them unique, you can say certainly that what defines Dante in the game is his different weapons and styles and what defines Nero is his fierceness ability with his specific sword called Red Queen that has a flamed system (Exceed) and his demon hand.
DMC 5: The game I thought it will never exist and the best action one I've ever played:
After approximately 10 years, I thought that Capcom wanted to forget the franchise despite the many questions that the fourth game left. Don't misunderstand me, I actually loved the game but it leaves you asking yourself: where does Nero come from, why is he like Dante?, What happened with Vergil, is he really death?
So imagine my impression when they revealed the first DMC5 trailer on the E3 event. The first thing I got in my head was thinking about the million things and combos you can do with the new Devil Breakers of Nero, and what new weapons is going to have Dante. But not just that, with the first trailer you realized that this experience is gonna be so different from the previous experiences. I never thought I would get amazing graphics, animations, and settings from a this type of combat game. The visuals while you are fighting demons are spectacular. Nowadays, I still playing it and having fun by just entering at any mission and just fight with the demons. The engine of Capcom is unbelievable.
It is not just the engine, but also the great work of the characters development and the plot that could answer our previous doubts.
New characters:
You can meet Nico that has a hilarious personality and is the one who creates Nero's arms. And, of course, the clever idea and creativity to introduce V, who controls three demons and this another different personality than Nero and Dante. Again, you have to go through different missions alternating between these three characters and that provide a so much funnier, more dynamic gameplay experience than the previous ones.
New and incredible weapons of Dante:
I really liked all weapons of Dante, but the ones that stood out the most were obviously Cavaliere, and Dr. Faust. Just when I thought they could not bring more bizarre weapons, they give us one that is a motorcycle (which it can be separated in two), and a hat, in which you can make meteorites fall from the sky. I just love to do this last movement because of the great visuals it has.
Conclusion:
DMC 5 is a so recommended game at many aspects, but be careful if you are a trophy hunter. I have to say that this game was the most difficult one for me to win all trophies, but, I can see why they won the best Action Game Award of 2019.
