One of those games with no conclusion. In a literal sense, yes, there is an ending, but I mean the actual experience of playing the game and understanding the game. Devil May Cry 3 reels you in with one of the greatest first impressions I've seen in a game, entices you with a story that shows you what you'll become if you master the game, and then asks you to keep going. The game is an endless cycle of improvisation, applying your ideas, usually failing, and trying again. That point the game wants you to get in, the zone in which you are making all these choices, trying all these strategies, playing all these different ways, it never stops moving away from you. This should be frustrating, but the way the game entices you to keep pushing towards that point is what makes it great. It's an endless cycle of discovering new ways to get in that zone, getting booted out, and trying again. Once you're in that zone at the game's apex, not worrying about whether or not you'll have to reach it again, you begin to realize what really defines an action game. It all ticks, like clockwork. Truly a game that never stops giving.
