The narrative is laughably bad but the combat is some of the best in the series. It only took me around 7 hours to beat on devil hunter after playing through each game in release order. I almost skipped this game after beating 4 cus i wanted to go straight onto 5, but I would recommend against this. As the game is definitely on the shorter side its really easy to quickly knock it out in one or 2 days, and while this takes place in a completely different world than the other games the combat is so incredibly fun that I'd recommend playing it just for that. In a way its a game that's "So bad its good" and some of the funniest and most out of pocket moments in the franchise come from this. Ninja theory were smoking crack when they made this game and it suprisingly works
