The Devil you know returns in this brand-new entry in the over-the-top action series. Prepare to get downright demonic with this signature blend of high-octane stylized action and otherworldly and original characters the series is known for. The director Hideaki Itsuno and the core team have returned to create an insane, technically advanced action experience.

Action Bliss

Devil May Cry 5 is pure, unrelenting, action bliss. This is the best action game of the year. The game is a welcome return to the long-standing series that has been dormant in the mainline series since 2008's DMC4. While I personally enjoyed DmC, the reboot, a lot, many were dismayed with it. Well, this is a game that will please fans of both worlds.
The game follows Nero, Dante, and a newcomer, V. All the characters are well fleshed out with fantastic combat styles unique to each of them. The story is campy yet fun, with its fair share of surprisingly emotionally resonant scenes. What separates DMC5 from many other games is that it's not so much focused on killing monsters and demons as it is about how you kill them.
Style is the name of the game. DMC5 will actively push you stretch the limits of how long you can continually punish a lone, poor demon. The phenomenal combat paired along with the excellent pacing makes the full package something you can't pry yourself from. The minute the game ended, I wanted nothing more to jump back in. I highly recommend you begin with the standard difficulty when first starting off rather than the "Human" difficulty. Don't be fooled, however, as the hardest difficulty you can pick right off the bat is only the second easiest difficulty. This game wants you to keep replaying the game. New systems, mechanics, weapons, and combos are sprinkled throughout the main campaign, demanding that you take advantage of the new skill. You literally receive a game-changing ability right at the end of the game, essentially telling you to replay the game again.
If you want to test your might, the Bloody Palace game mode is a extremely fun mode that will constantly test how good you really think you are with a 99 stage gauntlet through all the enemies and bosses in the game--using only one life. You die, you start from ground zero.
Capcom is killing it. No one could've predicted such a strong redemption arc with the company, but here we are with Devil May Cry 5 (and Resident Evil 2 remake). Do yourself a favor and dive into Devil May Cry 5. If you're new to the series, don't worry, there's a video included with the game that will go over most of the main plot points from the previous games. The game absolutely can be played stand-alone. And don't be surprised if you find yourself saying to yourself, "Pull my devil trigger." The game's soundtrack is an absolute beast. You'll see.

A Good Game Hidden in a Fantastic One

Modern Warfare is a great package that comes very close to being one of the all-time greats in the Call of Duty echelon, but poor decisions and incomplete design mar the final package.
CAMPAIGN: The main campaign for Modern Warfare is a HBO-esque adventure that follows three main characters as they strive to retrieve stolen weaponized gas that threatens the world. The story itself is nothing truly awe inspiring, taking many story beats from modern military films, but it is in its presentation that it truly shines. The campaign does a fantastic job with transitions between the briefing and the when you gain control. The sound design is truly amazing along with the gorgeous visuals. This is a game you want to play in 4K and HDR. While the campaign struggles to truly touch on and say something meaningful about some modern-day political topics and concerns, there is enough here that will make the campaign interesting enough for you to play until completion. It's a trip well worth playing through, and you'll experience some truly amazing moments throughout its relatively short runtime.
MULTIPLAYER: This is the main entree to most people who will buy this game. Before diving in, I'd like the explore the mechanics and core gameplay of the game. In short, it's fantastic. The guns all feel like they have a heft to them that makes shooting a absolutely joy. This paired with the fantastic sound design make for some of the most effective and immersive gunplay I've experienced in modern military games to date.
There are many new modes that have been implemented in the latest iteration of COD. The most intriguing and well-designed one is gun fight, a 2v2 game mode where everyone starts out with the exact same loadout and battle it out--the first to five wins, wins. This is where the strength of Modern Warfare shines.
Another new mode is Ground War; this mode has 64 players with new massive maps. If you've played Battlefield's conquest mode, this is Modern Warfare's take on it. Unfortunately, it plays like a poor-mans Battlefield. While some may revel in the chaos and sheer amount of players, the kill streaks, unbalanced vehicles, and mediocre map design made it a disappointing experience. If you want to a modern military shooter with massive maps, go back to play Battlefield 4, because this just isn't it.
The maps. Oh yes, the maps. It is exceedingly disappointing that with such strong core mechanics and amazing gunplay, the way the maps are designed make for a poor experience. There is an abundance of campers in every single match; the lighting in this game, while gorgeous for campaign and to look at, is terrible in practice for multiplayer. The player visibility is also terrible--if you've played Battlefield V, you may know a thing or two about why player visibility matters. You'll often find yourself dying to people you simply cannot see. This strips away the balance of the game. Many matches will run up to the end of the time limit because of how many people will be sitting in corners, making for a very slow and unfun experience. The spawning system in the game is also pretty poor. The game also employs a system called Skill-Based Match Making; while some may praise its implementation, it makes for a incredibly abrasive experience. If you have friends that you'd like to play with, you better hope that our skill levels are relatively the same or you'll end up in matches that are either completely against you or for you. The system also strips the game of its variety as you'll constantly be playing against people who are equally if not better than you, essentialy making it near impossible to use less-developed guns or less optimal builds. It's disappointing because the mechanics and gameplay itself is so addicting, but the map design and questionable balance completely hinder what could've been a slam dunk,
SPEC OPS: The less said, the better.
Modern Warfare is well worth your time, especially in regards with the campaign. If you're also looking for a game to play with friends, this one is it. Not only can you play cross platform with every platform, the splitscreen runs exceedingly well and barely has any hitches (compared to the abysmal performance in Black Ops 4). While the campaign and gun fight mode showcase the best of what Modern Warfare has to offer, other factors continually keep the game from rising up to the grand standards the series has set with games such as COD4, Modern Warfare 2, and Black Ops 1.

Tetris Evolved

This is Tetris like you've never seen before. Phenomenal visuals and a gorgeous soundtrack pair together to elevate this Tetris experience, making it a sensory feast. The main "campaign" takes you through a series of different levels, each with its own visual style and song that makes for a immersive journey. The speed of the blocks falling will change alongside the music and visuals, creating a captivating sync with your actions. This is a game where you'll want to turn off the lights and bask in the visuals.
Purists will be happy to know that there are the regular modes that are focused on the pure Tetris experience, alongside options to tone down the effects and visuals of the game to make the blocks for clearly visible.
Unfortunately, there is no splitscreen or multiplayer except for leaderboards and high scores. Oddly enough, there is an option to connect a second controller that vibrates on sync with the visuals and gameplay, allowing you to experience the gorgeous visuals with a friend.
There is a wealth of content, challenges, and modes that will continually keep you entertained if you're even a slight fan of the Tetris gameplay loop. Even if you're not a huge fan, the visual and aural experience alone is worth the price of admission.
