Is it okay to play Devil May Cry 5 without playing the others?

As for the story, it probably will not be as enjoyable without playing at least the third and first game since it's heavily connected. You'll probably still enjoy it without playing the others.

No, not really. DMC 2 is a stand alone storyline so even if you skip DMC 2, DMC 3 will still make sense. Actually, timeline-wise, DMC 3 is actually the beginning of Dante's adventures and is supposed to come before DMC 1. Newer isn't always better.
