I am truly perplexed. Everything I have ever read about this game is that it is the peak of the genre, one of the best combat systems to experience in a game and truly a benchmark. And yet, it bored me, the combat didn't excite me and the story was a bit nonsensical. I don't want to trash DMC 5, I am probably hurt by entering the franchise on its 5th entry and I haven't engaged in many games of this type. But for me, this was not the experience I expected and it never truly gripped me over 10 hours.
