Devil May Cry 5 is shaping up to be the best in the series so far

What officially began as the earliest incarnation of Resident Evil 4 in 1998, Devil May Cry quickly became a different beast entirely. Boasting numerous sequels, one ill-received spin off and an anime series, Devil May Cry is comfortably one of the flagship franchises for Capcom. Devil May Cry 5 is the long-awaited fifth entry in the mainline series and, after a little bit of retconning with the previous entries, it's chronologically the latest in the game world. Main character Dante, the wise-cracking monster slayer with his large sword and trademark red coat has returned and this time he's brought a lot of friends with him. In Devil May Cry 4, Nero had an arm called the Devil Bringer, which was his own arm, just demon-ified.
