It is absolutely dmc clone, which is why you've arbitrarily thrown all these games into the completely made up genre of "character action". Bayonetta is just DMC with really dumbed down routing thanks to the available evasive maneuvers in the game, which a much worse character design. It feels good to play Nero in DMC5, it's a mechanically interesting character, whereas Bayo may as well be a popsicle stick with no popsicle.
