If you’re a sexy enough bitch, Devil May Cry 5 will let you know. Pause the game and smoke a cigarette because you’re a sexy bitch. Repeat until the room is full of bug meat and blood smears. Glide that fist right into a demon’s throat and trigger an explosion. Do a rising slash to launch an enemy into the air, pull yourself to them with your grappling arm, punch them with your rocket fist, shoot them with your revolver to air juggle them, call your rocket arm back to you and ride that shit like a hoverboard. Rush in with a lunging stab, slash and then pause a half second before slashing again to trigger a furious series of overhead strikes. If you want to kick arse as Nero, you need to lean into every one of these tricks.

Brushed off as “dead weight” by Dante during their ill-fated fight and reeling from the tragic loss of his right arm months before the game’s start, Nero has a lot to prove.
