Devil May Cry 5 is NOT an enjoyable game!

I'm not sure what the difference is. That's two ways of saying the same thing.
This is straight up wrong. Enemies do react to your hits and even bigger/stronger enemies can be stunned.
Sorry OP, but you are just bad at this game.
Try Bayonetta. It's devil may cry series super mega fast. Much better in my opinion.
Anyway as for "having to be careful", DMC doesn't reward conservative play like that. It's the kind of game where you look at a weapon or attack and get a wild idea and try to see if it works.
Sometimes these ideas enter your head a split second before you get the chance to use them. Like punching a rocket into a cluster of scissors ghosts that just happened to group up
(Not saying this clip is super skillful but it felt cool for me)

Haha no... it's one of the best action games Capcom has ever made. Great controls, deep gameplay, strong visuals and 3 great characters to play as.
I struggled to get C's on Easy Automatic in 1 & 3, which I played for the first time earlier this year.
I'm just posting this to show I'm not coming at this from a hardcore DMC fan POV.
5 is undoubtedly the best playing game in the series, it controls like a dream, no more camera issues or shit platforming to put up with and combat has more depth than any of the previous games too.
I'm sorry but I have no idea how anyone can consider the game "broken" especially after recent actual examples of broken games like Fallout 76.
The only conclusion I can draw from your post is that maybe you just needed something to play and DMC5 was the best new option but when you sat down to play it you weren't in the mood for that kind of game and tried to force it.

"The combat is horrible", "the mechanics feel slow and limited", "The bosses are done so that you have to be careful, but then how are you supposed to build up your combo rank?", "the enemies don't react to getting hit with most of your combos"..."I don't even feel like finishing it at all. I am in Chapter 15 "
My guess is you have no idea about how the combat works, you probably have unlocked like 30% of the moveset of each character and somehow you having no intention on putting in the effort to learn how it works means the combat system is bad, despite everyone in the OT saying otherwise. That´s a bold move, Cotton!

Hated how the game kept taking control away to show a cutscene, decided that DMC is no longer for me and dropped it to play sekiro instead
Devil May Cry 5 is really the kind of game where most of the fun lies in coming to grips with the highly technical mechanics and working out how to best use them. You drew a comparison to Sonic, which isn't an invalid one, but I would probably compare it to a racing game like F-Zero or something where the game just isn't that fun if you don't grasp how to play it. That's also the great appeal of these games, that you start from a place of ignorance and confusion but progressively make the game more and more fun just by deepening your understanding of it.
The DMC games also have fairly idiosyncratic control schemes. You might actually have an easier time getting into the Bayonetta or 3D Ninja Gaiden games - they are actually more difficult than DMC5, but their controls are probably easier to grasp for non-genre fans, and that particular hurdle is probably part of why you think DMC5's combat is slow and clunky (it's not, really, but it's easy to see how it could appear that way).

I mean I hate to jump on the dogpile - but you said it yourself in the first sentence.
The fact that you hate the combat is the pinnacle of that (as that's what the series is best known for).
It was/is foolish to think that DMC5 (a game made in response to people hating DmC... somewhat), would suddenly play differently than the hallmark games it is known for.
Bayonetta 2 is the best character action game of all time.
This worries me. I didn't like Devil May Cry 4 and stopped playing it, but I enjoyed the others in the past and loved DmC.
It's available for pickup at the library, but I have too much on the go so I figured I'd probably just wait and borrow it or rent it later.

It's okay you didn't like it OP but you shouldn't have fucked around and made a bunch of really dumb and objectively wrong statements about how it plays.
DMC and games that are similar (not action adjacent) are basically fighting games that reward you for investing time and sinking your teeth in.
You're not going to easily "best rank" the whole game. It's not going to be fun if you're looking to just get from cutscene to cutscene with the least amount of investment. The fun is in replaying with everything unlocked and experimenting.
If you like open world games because of the vastness and freedom, this is that for combat.

The game's enjoyment shoots up exponentially with the amount of precision and control you get over your character.
That is why I hated V's levels, and we have folks in the OT who just go to insane depths with his summons.
Meanwhile, I enjoy progressing through Bloody Palace with Nero, I think he controls perfectly in this iteration.

OP is trolling guys. I know this from the discord he visits.
100% respect the opinions of others, but as many have stated already, this is clearly a Troll thread.
I found the game and combat absolutely incredible. It's my favorite DMC game. Different strokes for different folks.
It may have the deepest combat in Dante but to me to be the best character action game ever made the game needed to have V's combat not be as boring as it is and have level design that was interesting and not bland.
