If you're just getting into Devil May Cry, skip DMC 2 (hexbear.net)

If you're just getting into DMC because of the Netflix Anime, the game you should skip is DMC2 for a few reasons:

The original director of DMC1 (Hideki Kamiya) did not return for the sequel.
The person they replaced him with did not like Dante, nor had any experience in the genre (DMC combat exists because of a glitch from Onimusha and being able to "juggle" enemies)
Itsuno (director of DMC 3-5) came in towards the end of the development (it was clear the game was struggling) and added some things to improve the quality
take all the above, you have a game that doesn't have the characterization, tone, finesse, gameplay of the original- and just a bad game at that

5/ To make matters worse, the game ended on a cliffhanger that is never brought up again or resolved in any following games. It was chronologically supposed to be a game that takes place later in his life, but literally now just takes place after DMC1**___**

It's easy to forget how much of a disappointment 2 was because the series bounced back so fast, but back then people absolutely hated it and there were serious doubt the franchise would even continue after that because Capcom was quick to axe other series like Viewtiful Joe and Ōkami for not performing well enough.
