Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition

Getting to play around with his and the original trio’s flashy maneuvers in Turbo and Legendary Dark Knight Mode is an experience you’ll never forget. Having to leave your prior save progress behind and start anew is pretty disappointing, of course. But first-time players and returning veterans will get an equal amount of enjoyment out of this excellent special edition.

Taken as a full package, then, Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition is an impressive one. The gameplay is as deep and long-lasting as the player wants it to be, there’s always new combos and combat potential to unlock and tons of difficulties and challenges to work through; now, even more so with addition of Vergil and the new modes present. That being said, DMC5 was never perfect.

If you haven’t had a chance to play the original, this is the perfect time, but if you have previously played and liked it, and can’t see yourself going back, this won’t change your mind. Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition on Xbox is, quite frankly, the best way to play the game – but it won’t convince you to part ways with your funds if you were lukewarm on the original.
