Devil May Cry 5 review: Satisfying, slick, and stylish

The problem is when Devil May Cry is at its best, it defies explanation. Sure you can try, and I'm going to for professional reasons. But half the game is "You have to see it to believe it" and the other half is "You have to play it to understand" and the two meet at the middle (albeit joined by some clunky loading screens) to create a relentlessly entertaining video game--one that's self-confident, satisfying, and stylish as hell. Imagine my surprise, that in the span of a year Capcom could make me a fan of first Monster Hunter, then Resident Evil, and now Devil May Cry. It's an incredible run, by a company that a few years ago I would've said seemed listless. In any case, this is the first Devil May Cry in over a decade--for fans, that is.
