Gameplay is good but leans too much into gimmicks at times to the point where it's not fun. The most blatant example is that some enemies can only be hurt by certain weapons. I don't want the game to outright force certain tactics.

I also feel like it needs more audio cues on attacks rather than just visual ones-- proper DMC games I can often dodge even offscreen attacks just by the sounds they make. This one I seem much less able to do that (but possible I've just played it less?)

Story is a joke. DMC games in terms of story are stupid with charm-- but for me that really works and they're fun. This one decides to take itself way too seriously, removing the charm and in its place oozing edgelord replacing cheesy quips with FUCK YOUUUU. It's cringey on the whole-- though at times it gets so completely bad you can almost ironically like it if that's your thing.

Anyway I still think it's worth playing (pure gameplay is probably behind only DMC3 and DMC5) and I would actually be entertained if the series pulled a No Way Home and had the game's mockery of Dante in an entry at some point, in a small role. Moreso than I would to see anything out of DMC2 at least

DMC3 > DMC5 >> DMC4 > DmC > DMC1 >> DMC2

No problem!
