The story of Devil May Cry 5 builds upon its predecessors, with our heroes once again fighting demon lords through a setting that falls somewhere between Dante’s Divine Comedy and a Grim Reaper mural airbrushed onto the side of a 1976 Dodge Tradesman. Capcom’s latest entry in the beloved action series is silly, raucous, and spectacular - and yet surprisingly consistent, juggling gobs of ideas but never losing focus. Later on, as Dante, I’m able to weaponize literal motorcycles, dragging their spinning wheels across the faces of enemy demons, ripping loose skin and meat. That scratches the surface of the game’s mood.

When we first see Nero in Devil May Cry 5, he revs his sword like a motorcycle.
