Devil May Cry 5's trio of outstanding combat styles set a new high bar for the series, and its mysterious story keeps things interesting along the way.

DMC5 proves the series can still be brilliant and imaginative without compromising its longest-held traditions.

Capcom returns to its trusted formula for something that plays like a outrageously pretty PS2 game - and that's a very good thing.

Three great characters and a beautiful, fluid combat system make this a must-buy for hack-and-slash fans.

It’s a gory, metalcore-driven, imperfect romp. It didn’t ask me for much: just 15 hours of my time and a willingness to admit that, all right, dragging a motorcycle across a demon’s face is, in fact, pretty b****s.

Capcom has done it again, re-energising a classic series like never before, and pushing the genre forward in a fresh way. It looks better than ever, plays better than ever. It's Devil May Cry better than ever.

Chaining together impressive combos is as fun as ever, though hopping among three characters makes it hard to hone your expertise

It’s not very nourishing but it may satisfy a special craving.

There is a demon, and I’m going to kill it. With style. I’ll shoot and slash and somersault, chaining together increasingly outlandish combos while listening to electro-metal where I only catch the odd word like ‘sword’ or ‘death’.
