It lacks the music of DmC or something like that was the thing he said, though with DMC5 it features a dynamic music system based on your current Style rating. The higher it goes, the louder the music gets. The poor guy must have been struggling to get a C, as unlike DmC, where you could do a 3 axe smash combo and find yourself at S at the end of it, you actually to mix up your moves and combos to hit that SSS max rating, and then keep going to keep it. As it seemed that before the definitive edition (of DmC) came out it'd more or less hold your current rating so long as enemies were on the screen and you didn't get hit. Probably explains why they liked it so much. But yea long story short "DMC5 has no music because I can't get above a C in combat" games journalist.
