DMC5 has a lot of depth to its combat systems, and as someone who gets busy with work and sometimes has to take a couple days or even weeks off of video games, it was a little jarring coming back to this game having lost the muscle memory of hitting combos. This is especially true of Dante. I honestly don't know if I like how he plays, his sword feels weak and his other weapons don't feel all that intuitive. I think Nero is my favorite of the three main playable characters. The story is over-the-top nonsense but at least it owns it. There's a lot of goofiness that the game wears like a badge of honor. A couple of the songs are bangers, too. Holistically this game is good, I just wish I had a better time with it.
