DMC5 has the best combat of any action game I've ever played. Bayonetta doesn't really compare. And when the combat/gameplay is this deep and oozing in variety, I hardly noticed that every level was basically a linear hallway with intermittent enemy spawns. I think that's the sign of a good action game: you can keep fighting enemies and it just never gets old. I was in the middle of my DMD playthrough before Sekiro came out but I'm eager to come back to it.
Bayonetta 3 will surely be a great game but I've always preferred Devil May Cry's combat, and DMC5 is the series' peak--ergo the pinnacle of action games as a whole.
