![]() ![]() ![]() Regardless whether you think Ninja Theory’s “reboot” was a Devil May Cry game or not, there’s no denying its landscapes were inventive paintings you’d love to hang onto your wall. In addition, the worlds in Limbo were surreal thanks to being alive and continually morphing and falling apart, resulting in players always moving forward at a frantic pace. And, while the colours in Devil May Cry 5 are muted and remain the same, the palette for DmC was mundane, but immediately popped with bright aesthetics once Dante entered the mad world of Limbo. There was a circus at the beginning, an upside down city, a computerised world that reminded me so much of Tron, as well as a head banging night club. Meanwhile, with DmC, there was a lot more variety in the environmental department with there being a dozen gorgeous and creative dreamscapes for you to wander about in while hopping onto floating platforms. Things quickly begin to look the same, and everything just looks copy and pasted as you become tasked with reaching the bee hive’s bottom after spending hours reaching its top. My only real gripe with Devil May Cry 5 is that it visually becomes a tad boring as from chapter 10 onwards you’re largely stuck wandering around the same labyrinth of halls designed after the Nemesis ride at Alton Towers. The soundtrack is wicked with Casey and Ali Edwards’ Devil Trigger being an adrenaline pumping masterpiece, the combat is stylish, smokin’, and sexy, and the three protagonists are captivating hunks you wouldn’t mind braving Hot Topic with while slashing your wrists and drinking red wine. As one of my most anticipated titles for 2019, Devil May Cry 5 has exceeded even my wildest expectations thanks to being a superb showing that proves Capcom is truly back. Now, I’d simply be pulling your arm to get a reaction if I said DmC is better than Devil May Cry 5, but I don’t think I’m being a “troll” or a blathering idiot by saying Ninja Theory’s forgotten contribution to the franchise is an underappreciated addition that had a lot of good beyond its insulting characterisations.īefore I briefly discuss the couple aspects Ninja Theory did better than Capcom, it’s important to first praise Devil May Cry 5 so people don’t wrongfully assume I dislike the game. However, while the Devil May Cry family’s newest jewel is undoubtedly a gifted individual that excels in many areas, the series’ black sheep is an underappreciated diamond in the rough who – albeit flawed – did a couple things better. ![]() Capcom’s Devil May Cry 5 is the series’ newest jewel, but Ninja Theory’s black sheep did a couple things better.Ĭapcom’s Devil May Cry 5 is largely regarded by its fanbase as a masterpiece that makes up for Ninja Theory’s “ bastardisation” of Dante with the stupidly named, DmC: Devil May Cry. ![]()
