I actually played this one, it was one of the games me and my girlfriend got with our PS5, along with Diablo IV and Hogwarts Legacy.

I quite enjoyed it for what it was, but I can see how its DMC-lite gameplay and minimal RPG elements could turn off series fans.

I don't think going back to turn based would widen their appeal in this day and age, but clearly they need to do something different. In the near term, Switch 2/Xbox ports could help them recoup their losses a bit.
