Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition-CPY

The most surprising thing about Devil May Cry 5 is just how entertaining the narrative is. The beats the story hits are all intriguing and the cast is a great bunch too. Nero and Nico’s friendship is literal friend goals and seeing cryptic newcomer V interact with the no-nonsense Nero and Dante is entertaining. The whole cast just has great synergy and there’s nobody on the cast I outwardly disliked. Franchise fans will be happy to know that many storylines, even those left hanging in the original game, will be tied up by the time the credits roll. It’s not final, by any means, but it is satisfying.

Devil May Cry 5 takes place in Red Grave City, some time after the events of the second and fourth games. Suddenly, without warning, a demonic tree-like structure has appeared in the city, absorbing the blood of its human victims to grow taller and taller. At the apex of this malicious growth is the newly crowned demon king Urizen, said to be more powerful than anyone ever encountered by our devil hunting heroes Dante and Nero. It’s a nice little scheme spearheaded by one of the most bad-ass villains the series has seen, though standard stuff for Devil May Cry.
