Devil May Cry 5 received positive reviews from critics, praising the variety of techniques the three characters bring while also liking the handling of the narrative. The game won several awards, and sold over two million copies less than two weeks after its release, which increased to more than 6.5 million copies as of January 2023, making it the best-selling game in the franchise. A light novel and manga related to the game have also been released. An expanded version called Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition[b] was released for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 in November 2020, featuring the addition of Vergil as a playable character. For players on PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One, Vergil was released as paid downloadable content.[1]
After awakening from his coma, Dante frees Trish and begins fighting his way to Urizen.[16] Trish learns from V that Urizen is the demon-side of Dante's brother Vergil, who used Yamato's power to separate his demon and human halves - the latter manifesting as V, whose body is rapidly breaking down.[17][18] Realizing Yamato has an unbelievable capability of separating humanity and the devil, Dante questions himself whether his Rebellion also has a hidden potential, believing both legacy weapons have incredible power on their own. After stabbing himself with his broken Rebellion, Dante unlocks his full demonic power and a new weapon, the "Devil Sword Dante," by absorbing Rebellion and Devil Sword Sparda into his body.[19] Nero attempts to confront Urizen again and is overpowered once more, but Dante rescues him [20] and gains the upper hand with his new powers. Urizen takes his leave when the Qliphoth bears fruit and consumes it to empower himself further. While Dante arrives first to face Urizen, Nero rescues V from the demon Malphas and learns of Dante's history with Vergil. Nero and V reach Dante just as he defeats Urizen, but a dying V intervenes and merges with Urizen before Dante can finish him, reviving Vergil.[21]

Devil May Cry 5 was released for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on 8 March 2019. Players who purchased the deluxe edition of the game had access to several pieces of additional content. These included the Cavaliere R weapon for Dante, new cutscenes and announcer options, battle music from the first four Devil May Cry titles, and four Devil Breaker weapons for Nero, including a Mega Buster based on Mega Man 11.[76] They were available for purchase separately as downloadable content within weeks of the game's release. A wave-based survival mode, Bloody Palace, was released as a free update on 1 April 2019.[77] In Japan, there were three limited releases of the game which included a replica of either Dante, Nero, or V's jacket.[78] An Amazon Luna version of the game was announced and released during the 2021 Game Awards.[79]
During the September 2020 PlayStation 5 showcase, Capcom announced an expanded version called Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition. It was released as a digital-only launch title for the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 in November 2020.[85] A physical version was released the following month.[86] Owing to the more powerful hardware, it features improved visuals and gameplay at up to 120 frames per second.[87] Alongside all previously-released downloadable content, other additions include Vergil as a playable character, ray tracing graphics options, and two additional game modes; Legendary Dark Knight mode, which significantly increases the number of enemies in each level; and Turbo mode, which increases the game speed by 20%. Turbo mode was previously included in Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition and Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition.[87] Players who own the original version of Devil May Cry 5 can also purchase Vergil separately as downloadable content.[88]
In Japan, the limited edition includes a slip art box which has the ability to remove a transparent cover revealing the women in their Nero outfits, four-disc soundtrack CD, art book, Nero glasses, and special downloadable content set.
"Death Toll" is the theme of the "Death Toll" campaign. It can be heard at various points throughout the campaign, primarily at the beginning of every chapter. The full song plays at the beginning of "The Turnpike", and it will not end until the Survivors begin to move along the road. A coding error on the Xbox 360 version (PC version is unconfirmed) seems to stop this theme from playing completely in some consoles. If one listens closely they will hear a clip of "The Monsters Without" around 25 seconds through the song.
The 2016 reboot of Doom is one of the most relentless first-person shooters ever made. The fast-paced demon-shooting action really gets your adrenaline going, and the absolutely maniacal heavy metal soundtrack that pulsates in the background contributes to that energy. Doom's score makes you feel like you're in a mosh pit--a mosh pit full of demons you need to slay. The heavy metal jams help you keep up with the frenetic pace of the action, but the songs are also ridiculously entertaining in their own right.
It's not super surprising that God of War's soundtrack is phenomenal. Composer Bear McCreary won an Emmy for his work on Da Vinci's Demons, created the iconic Walking Dead theme, and has scored dozens of movies and TV shows. McCreary's work on God of War pushed the franchise in a far more mature direction that fit with the evolved, emotional story about the bond between father and son. From the chant-filled, ominous title song to the beautifully arranged "The Summit" that caps off Kratos' and Atreus' symbolic journey, God of War's soundtrack is among the best we've heard from a PS4 exclusive. For more on the creation of the music of God of War, check out our illuminating interview with McCreary.
Even though the ubiquitous "Halo Theme" doesn't appear in Halo 3: ODST, the soundtrack for the sometimes overlooked Xbox 360 spin-off--the first game to not star Master Chief--remains the most varied score in franchise history. It still features the ethereal sounds that are intrinsic to the identity of the iconic FPS series, but it also has an exciting mix of uptempo tracks and somber melodies that capture the spirit of the underrated campaign. The best Halo music builds into a crescendo, gradually adding layers over a steady beat, and ODST does this masterfully, especially in songs like "One Way Ride" and "The Menagerie."
There's a sequence in Red Dead Redemption 2 that poignantly demonstrates how integral the music is to the broader story. After Arthur returns from Guarma and heads off on horseback to Lemoyne, a scripted section plays with the lighting of the sprawling backwoods and comes at a crossroads in Arthur's masterfully written personal arc. D'Angelo's "Unshaken," a soulful song with alluring harmonies and a powerful hook beautifully captures Arthur's predicament. It's just one of the many original songs that make Red Dead Redemption 2's soundtrack so memorable. The sweeping soundtrack offers raw vocal tracks and twangy Western instrumentals, assisting in building the atmosphere of Rockstar's wondrous open world with every bar.
Toby Fox's Undertale overtook the gaming world when it released in 2015. The quirky and rather dark RPG harkens back to the 16-bit era all the way down to its synth music. If you listened to Undertale's soundtrack without knowing when the game launched, you would probably think you were listening to a Super Nintendo game. Thankfully, it's every bit as memorable and catchy as classic SNES music.
Longtime Shin Megami Tensei composer Shoji Meguro has a distinctive musical style that has become one of the standout components of each game, including the wildly popular Persona sub-series. Though mostly J-pop and J-rock, some of Persona 4's tracks--such as "A New World Fool"--also have hip-hop, rock, and electronica flavors. The nearly three-hour-long soundtrack features a great mix of vocal and instrumental tracks that, thankfully--given Persona 4's lengthy story--never tire.
Bloodborne just celebrated its fifth anniversary, and it's still fairly common to see people gushing about the FromSoftware action-RPG on social media. Yharnam, a gothic, Victorian-style city, is arguably the legendary studio's most iconic setting. The atmosphere and inhabitants were inspired by Lovecraft and Bram Stoker, so it's easy to understand why the haunting soundtrack is filled with chanting, suspenseful, building riffs, and a whole lot of ambiance. A collaborative effort, Bloodborne's soundtrack utilizes a full orchestra and a large choir. The music of Bloodborne perfectly captures the eerie world and the tension of each daunting boss fight.
Destiny 2 improved on practically every aspect of the original--except for the soundtrack. Destiny's classic orchestra soundtrack is appropriately epic, fitting with the grandness of the space opera. It certainly harkens back to Bungie's work on the Halo franchise with its ambient noises that creep in and out of the full-scale orchestra pieces. Bungie even enlisted the talents of Sir Paul McCartney to work on the soundtrack, and the former Beatles member contributed the song "Hope For the Future." If you somehow haven't watched the music video featuring McCartney as a hologram in the game world, you really should.
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is a quiet narrative adventure set in a sleepy English village where everyone has randomly disappeared. As such, it's a solitary experience, and the soundtrack composed by Jessica Curry only enhances the atmosphere. Though the melancholy string and woodwind arrangements are beautiful, it's the choral music that gives Everybody's Gone to the Rapture's soundtrack weight. Two full choirs, the Metro Voices and London Voices, deliver bone-chilling vocals that feel appropriate to the place and situation. The chorus of voices singing as one oddly, but powerfully, reflects the predicament you're in.
A negative review from IGN's Lucy O'Brien described Little Hope as "an odd, anemic thriller" where "its choice and consequence system feels strangely superficial". New Game Network echoed similar sentiments about the choice system. Upon release, the digital download version of Little Hope was the 4th most downloaded game in its debut week, and ranked 9th in terms of physical sales. 2ff7e9595c
