During one cinematic, behold a superb monologue.
Take it away Arkham:
He plucks the threads that make us dance, finger and toe!
We surrender in joy to the lowest of the foul and rank; we submerge through darkness, rancid filth.
Hour by hour, we move downward, ever closer to Hell, in a slow, steady gait.
Now, let the world resonate!

| Sloth! Gluttony! Greed! |
 |
| Envy! Lust! Wrath! And Pride! |
A bell of chaos that tolls human desires!
After two thousand long years, the once sealed gate to the Demonic World will open!

Let your instincts drive you!
Entrap this world in fear!
As its very name Temen-ni-gru strikes terror into the heart of mankind.
Then I will become the ultimate ruler of this wasteland engulfed with pandemonium!
The demonic power that Sparda once imprisoned.... will be mine!

I conclude matters with an admirable indie effort.
Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption
Essentially a boss rush (kinda like Shadow of the Colossus), player is forced to make a sacrifice before boss can be fought.
For example, taking on Pride reduces attack power.
