Devil May Cry 5 - ★★★★★
Beaten in: February 2025
You could probably reasonably argue that DMC5 overtunes the spectacle a little bit, but it's not without merit. All of the characters are really varied (moreso than 4), feel awesome to play as a baseline (though I found V's disjointed style felt a little 'unresponsive' to me, depending on my mood), and have a skill ceiling that is honestly too high for me to ever reach but I like to feel that it's there. 5 Dante might be the most fun I've had controlling a character in an action game ever, at the time of writing this.
