It has taken me a long time to get into the Devil May Cry series, as well as the character action genre more generally, because I always kind of regarded them as a mindless button masher. Not that that's the right way to think about them, but nevertheless, that idea kept me away from this kind of game for a long time. But I recently got into Devil May Cry 5, and I think I've started to understand what this game and genre are all about. The emphasis on style rankings, where the game grades you on how cool you performed in combat, actually offers a unique and interesting approach to efficiency and skill in action combat. This short summarizes the basics of that approach.

Maybe next I'll try out Bayonetta or Nier: Automata, to understand a bit more of what this genre of action game is all about!
