Where to begin...
This game has only one problem. Not enough costumes... but wait that's solved because PC mods. So this is in fact the greatest action game of all time because Devil May Cry 5 succeeds at everything else too. Gameplay with combat that turns into a stylish, chaotic experiment that only gets boring if you don't mess around with all of the options given to you from the 3-4 characters, enemies, and their options in combat that even an 8 year veteran of the Devil May Cry series like me still hasn't mastered due to how much you can really do within the combat. Graphics as beautiful as the screenshots (if not more) if your computer can handle it, while managing to be pretty well optimized for a character-action game as the style meter bumps up, down, and all around with each rank in front of every one of the other visual details as you hack away at your foes. Sound Design so good that the soundtrack never sucks, even the basic level ambiance never fails to entertain me as I sprint towards the next fight to hear the awesome theme of whatever character I am playing and it dynamically changing with the style ranking I have in combat at any time. Story done well enough that you technically do not need to play the previous entries in the series because of a "History of DMC" main menu vid being available to the player to get the required information needed to get a basic and slightly detailed understanding of the story in DMC5. Like any series though, if you want to understand EVERYTHING, play the previous entries (except for DMC2 because DMC2 is one of the worst games ever made) or just watch a complete series lore video. The cutscenes and moments never fail to miss a single beat at any moment and makes me feel like I'm cut into watching a neat movie during a ton of the story in-game.
If you are looking for an epic action game that makes you look awesome while making you feel awesome, buy and play Devil May Cry 5 with the Deluxe Edition content and the DLC character to get as much as possible to your player experience with extras that make a difference.
