New Character V
The editors didn't like
Story has some moments of poor pacing
New players will feel a little lost
Could have used more missions per character
Ending feels a bit rushed
Mostly unobtrusive story that may confuse the unfamiliar
Linear story
Not the longest game
Gameplay is uniform throughout
The story jumps back and forth on a timeline and can be a pain to follow without your complete undivided attention
Camera can be a hindrance
Story can switch to a new character just as you get to grips with one

Combat system offers a satisfying blend of new and old ideas, V is a refreshing new addition to the DMC roster, Challenging boss fights provide fulfilling tests of skill, Consistently introduces new mechanics that keep combat varied and interesting, Story
Occasional unpredictability of V's Familiars can be frustrating, A couple pandering fan-service moments, Cameo System is a bit underutilized
Tight, responsive action, Familiar controls, Interesting and versatile new gameplay systems, Fantastic visuals

Abstract: I didn't think I'd have too much trouble jumping into it, combat or story-wise, but man, I was fairly confused within the first five minutes. Though, yes, chronologically DMC 5 is set after 2 and 4, it also thrusts veterans and newcomers alike into genera...
