Devil May Cry 5
2019 Game of the Year Contenders
A series that seemed somewhat stagnant after a luke-warm reboot from a different developer, Devil May Cry has been in a weird place as of late, but thanks to the astounding critical reception that Devil May Cry 5 has seen, the sexy and stylish action franchise seems to back in good hands.
I don’t know if it’s the way that the game shines graphically, or if it’s the change of having three different playable characters, but Devil May Cry 5 is one of the best-looking action games to come out in a while, and it also just feels so good to play.
The excellent combo system that grades you on every single battle pushes the player to step out of their comfort zone and try new abilities and weapons to achieve that super sexy stylish high score.
The heavy metal and rock soundtrack also add a lot to the battles, creating an effect of badassery that can be hard to create, but Capcom truly nailed it.
