The Devil May Cry series has a reputation for difficulty — and that reputation is well-earned in Devil May Cry 5. There are six difficulty modes total, and four of them have to be unlocked. You start with Easy / Normal, before moving on to the harder difficulties, and then you’ll finally earn the weirdest challenges — Heaven or Hell, and Hell or Hell modes. In these modes, you’ll either have to complete the game where everything dies in a single hit, or just your heroes die in a single hit.
Difficulty isn’t the only unlockable either. After finishing the story once, you’ll be able to earn special gallery entries for each enemy you defeat. As you defeat each enemy / boss when replaying, Nico will snap a photo and add a little entry to your lore. It’s a very small inclusion, but you’ll need to hunt down all the enemies / bosses to complete the little gallery. There’s something satisfying about the whole endeavor.
