DMC: Devil May Cry

Devil May Cry is a .. reboot? of a franchise that has been around for a while through console evolutions.  I believe they got up to #5 before this current iteration.

You play as Dante, a nephalim (offspring of demon/angel) who is badass in the most obnoxious of ways, jumping through falling debris to pull his pants up and heading room after room to parkour or kill demon entities in Limbo.

It's like 1000 games out there in function, but it's done right on so many levels.   Instead of forcing you to a path, there are many paths -- you could take them all to get all the collectibles, but you really only need to pay attention to the mission directive, so there is a lot you can do if you're into it -- or you could blaze through for the boss fights if that's what you'd prefer.

The boss creatures are hellacious and well done, but the combat in those appears is wayyy too scripted that nothing has taken multiple attempts up to this point.

Shelving because it's "fun" and I had to quote it.
