I have never been a huge fan of the Devil May Cry series, and I haven't played all the games, but I thought that DMC 5 looked pretty good so I decided to buy it. Nero is likable as well as Nico, however, the games is just bad. The story is told back and forth, and it really messes up the pace a lot, as well as making it to advance with chapters.
The combat is horrible! I kept comparing it with Sonic. A game where the character is supposed to be fast, but every stage is done so you have to be slow and precise, making it frustrating.
Hate to break it to ya bruv, but the bolded is because you are supposed to keep playing the games untill you learn the layout in sonic, or master the controls and advanced tech with DMC
Either way you have to put the time in to learn the game. Its is not going to give it all away on a silver platter.
