DmC: Devil May Cry
The game is set in an alternate reality of the series. The game's story takes place in Limbo City, a modern-day city secretly controlled by all-powerful demons, manipulating humanity through the comforts of life, with the demons themselves residing in a parallel plane called 'Limbo'. Living on the fringes of the brainwashed society is Dante, a young man at odds with the demons who constantly hunt him, and the civilian authorities they control.
Dante is warned by a young woman named Kat that he is in danger just as a Hunter demon drags him into Limbo. Dante navigates the Bellevue Pier's carnival and kills the demon with Kat's aid, who can see into Limbo with her psychic powers. Dante returns to the human world and accepts Kat's offer to meet with her boss, Vergil.
Along the way, Kat explains that Vergil leads "The Order", a rogue vigilante organisation intent on exposing the demons and releasing the world from their control. Vergil tells Dante that with his help the Order can bring down the demons. Dante learns that he and Vergil are not only long lost twin brothers but also Nephilim, the children of Angel and Demon and the only beings capable of killing the cruel demon king Mundus.
Their demon father Sparda was Mundus' chief lieutenant in the war against the angels until he betrayed Mundus when he fell in love with the angel Eva and sired the twins. Mundus, afraid of the Nephilim, attacked the family and killed Eva.

Allow me to preface this by saying that I'm a huge fan of the Devil May Cry series. I had heard all the hate for this game and decided to buy it out of morbid curiosity as soon as it went on sale seeing as I have a bit of a soft spot for a few other universally hated games and the so-bad-it's-good genre in general. For about the first five chapters or so, this was a solid 3/10 and I was not at all enjoying myself. And then, as time went on, my attitude toward it slowly started to shift. I started having fun and found myself actually becoming immersed in the story instead of constantly pointing out its flaws. And then, before I knew it, I had accidentally become a fan of this game. Oops.
Sure, this is not a good Devil May Cry game. In fact, it has little if anything to do with the original series aside from the title and the names of the main characters. My biggest problem with it was that they tried to make it something it wasn't, shoehorning in DMC lore through cumbersome and unnecessary exposition dumps. If this had been its own thing, it would have been an enjoyable, albeit somewhat generic (at least where the story is concerned) action game that would have gotten decent reviews and then quietly slipped into irrelevance the way so many similar titles have. Where this game took its own creative liberties was where it really shined. One boss fight in particular (not going to spoil which) completely blew me away to the point where it now sits among my favorite boss fights of all time. Many of the gameplay elements are quite unique and are overall very fun and surprisingly polished.
My suggestion going into this game is to appreciate it on its own merit because if you separate it from all the hate it's garnered and from the franchise it tried and failed to become, you will find that there is actually quite a bit of enjoyment to be gleaned here. I almost didn't give it a chance and now, after playing through all of it, I regret that I was so heavily swayed by popular opinion.

A good and underrated hack and slash game with
+ Visuals
+ fight and gameplay
+ combo practice missions.
- No target locking
Die hard DMC fans hate it but gamers enjoyed it, if you still hate it then please go with DMC5
Capcom and Ninja Theory did try to reboot it with their own twists and story,
would gotten more love if it wasnt a DMC.
