    Amazing fun combat. My only complaint is hard mode is more artificial difficulty and the game should have more tutorials- once you get used to the game it becomes addicting.

    so much fun on this game, good story with a badass main character, the DMC formula but with a lot of guns
    the pc controls aren't the best, but it works

    Buen juego de acción aunque su gameplay se me hizo algo repetitivo y tosco, historia algo confusa

    Bayonneta is one of the Best Hack and Slash in full 2022, a lot of combos , giant bosses, smooth gameplay, good performance, beautiful graphics and a beautiful protagonist, but the level design is not too good.

    El mejor Bayonetta de la trilogía actual, el más esquilibrado de todos, desde la historia hasta la jugabilidad.

    Very nice beat em up. The only problem i faced is the camera blocking the action, skill that is hard to execute and lack oh halo to obtain in orddr to unlock all the stuff.

    Combat is excellent. Incredible locations and characters. The minigames are too frequent and not fun however. The story is fun and interesting. Most boss fights are fun.

    Bayonetta is both one of the hardest and one of the most fun games I have ever played. The combat feels fluid and fair and each death feels like it was well deserved. The story is surprisingly engaging with tons of interesting characters that actually keep you invested.

    Bayonetta is a classic hack and slash over the top button mashing mayhem where the player control the namesake Bayonetta. The combat is simple to learn but hard to master. What a game.

    Devil May Cry 5'te yaşadığım hissi yaşadım. Çıkarılabilecek yüzlerce combo var ancak ben yeteneksiz olduğum için sadece bir kaçıyla oyunu bitirdim. İnternette izlediğim videolar sanki bambaşka bir oyuna ait gibi. Comboları, canavarları, karakterleri, kostümleriyle en stilistik oyunlardan birisi. Becerebilene tarifsiz bir keyif vereceği kesin.

    Bayonetta | Sep. 7, 2020 | [★★★]

    This game just shows how rusty my reflex are in terms of dodging and quick time events and I could pity some of that from the hitboxes. Addition to that, are the invisible barriers that somehow messed up your camera while doing a combo. Other than my excuses, It was a remarkable hack n' slash game that rewards player for doing well in every encounter.

    Other than my excuses, It was a remarkable hack n' slash game that rewards player for doing well in every encounter. A satisfying roster of boss fight that is unique and fun.

    I'm willing to give it a better score, but the appeal just doesn't click for me. Evidently being a Japanese developed game, I feel like they go over the top in term of style. I can see that being a good thing for others but not for me. In the end, It'll comes down to our individual taste.

    I must say Bayonetta is an amazing Devil May Cry-ish game. You are in control of a very strong female protagonist. The cinematics and combos are fun. There are some quick-time events too. I couldn't stop playing until I finished it. 10hrs on record.

    I'm so happy I can give this game a 10/10 because for me, this game does everything that I want from a video game extremely well and then some. There are so many things I could get into, but to keep it short -- Bayonetta, to me, is a brilliantly crafted experience that's fun, sassy, and fast-paced with surprising layers of depth.

There are so many things I could get into, but to keep it short -- Bayonetta, to me, is a brilliantly crafted experience that's fun, sassy, and fast-paced with surprising layers of depth. Even though I'm not a fan of hack and slash games, Bayonetta is a huge exception in my catalogue of all time favorites because it is so much MORE than just your ordinary H&S experience. First of all, the art direction & character designs are off the charts genius and so well done that you'll quickly become engrossed in the story which, imo, is fantastic and deeper than what one might think at first glance. This is a journey of a woman becoming a fearless & strong warrior with one of the major themes being motherhood, love, and faith in oneself. And yet, the game doesn't takes itself too seriously as you concoct magical lollipops, collect halos, and listen to some of the finest one liners ever uttered in a video game. Bayonetta is not only one of the best video games ever made, but she's also one of my all time favorite video game characters. And that's a huge feat! The game is highly addictive and very replayable. It also has some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard, especially during the Vigrid / Paradiso segments. If you haven't played this gem, don't wait no more and go play Bayonetta. You won't regret it. Expand

    Even if all of the platform-specific flourishes weren't there, Bayonetta would remain a superb action title. The familiar story is buoyed by the absurd cut scenes, the action amplifies that ridiculousness, and the gameplay is still considered tight after the introduction of numerous fast action games in recent years. It's also a lengthy title by today's standards, and the constant grading of every fight will get perfectionists going. The PC version enhances everything and makes this the definitive version of the title, as long as you don't mind losing the Nintendo-themed costumes from the Wii U version. Unless you hate fast action games, you absolutely have to pick up Bayonetta.

    Despite the fact that the original was released seven years ago, Bayonetta is one of this year’s most important PC games. In its field it’s still unbeatable and the port leaves very little to be desired. [06/2017, p.48]

    At the end of the day the cocky, confident, wisecracking and unapologetically sexual protagonist and her amazingly rich style of combat still beats strong at the heart of Bayonetta and revisiting the game on PC is a reminder of how much fun the game was in 2009. Any fan of stylish action games will still appreciate Bayonetta, especially now that some of the original's technical issues have been addressed and resolved.
