It's fine in some scenes, but in others it gave off a weird, uncanny valley effect.ĭevil May Cry 5's world still features a gothic structure, but the set design truly brings the world to life, especially in the urban levels. One thing that gave me pause, however, was the lip sync.

Even the camera's orientation adds to that impression, as it grounds the game in reality and allows a more personal connection to the characters, despite the game's over-the-top nature. The detail in each character's features crosses over to pure realism, which is a first for DMC. Unless you call Griffon babbling about like the parrot Iago from Aladdin a gimmick (even though he is pretty funny). These demons aren't much of a gimmick, however, because they simply act as the gun, sword and Devil Trigger, respectively. They are Griffon, Shadow and Nightmare, which are actually callbacks to bosses in the first Devil May Cry.

Not the up-close-and-personal type, V instead commands a set of demons to do his bidding. V's gameplay is as weird as his poetry, and it needs a lot more work to be compelling. Faust, he straight-up does the moonwalk and then sends off the scene with fireworks, which completed me as a human being. But because it consumes red orbs (currency) when firing, I was reluctant to use it. My all-time favorite weapon is, of course, Cavaliere, because who doesn't love chopping demons in half with a motorcycle that turns into dual buzz saws? And I wanted to love Dr.
