If Devil May Cry 5 didn't exist, Bayonetta 2 would be the most crisp action/hack & slash game I would recommend. Fans of the first game will love this, even though it's a bit easier. It includes the same characters, even BETTER combat (if that's hard to believe,) new enemies, and entirely different environments.
This game is a must for fans of the genre and I'd say it's a best in class action game.
