≠ Its own twist: fighting mechanics, while skipping real-time strategy

Ninja Theory's reboot, with a reimagined Dante switching between angel and demon weapons in a Limbo that reshapes itself around him. As a standalone action game the combat is fluid and the levels are the most visually inventive in the series. It is also mechanically simpler than DMC3 or 5, the writing tries hard to be edgy, and the constant camera shake genuinely causes motion sickness for some.

✓ Nearly identical: deep RPG systems, action RPG combat and puzzle design.

≠ Missing: real-time strategy.

Open-world traversal built around electricity: you climb, grind rails and fight in the same continuous motion, and it rarely asks you to stop moving. Combat stays readable even when the screen fills up. The karma system is the weak part — choices are signposted as obviously good or evil, so the moral framing lands flatter than the moment-to-moment play.
