It's obviously the best in the series gameplaywise, but I have a few nitpicks mainly regarding aesthetic decisions and level design.

No matter how great the gameplay may be I just can't get into this world and the story is so ridiculous that I don't care.

great gameplay, lacking in pizza

I would have given this a 90 but I found it a little too hokey. I get that DMC is meant to be silly, it just came off a little lame to me. Being new to the series, that was a little off-putting to me. I also didn't love V's mechanics. But aside from that it's a really fun game in a genre I really like. I'm not especially good at it, but there's a lot of depth to the combat if you want to try to get that good at it.
