    I wanted to love this game but it s hard too.
    Let’s start off with ps4 version which is better than ps3 port.
    What we have so far in hd version? Dated graphics, low budgetcut scenes, artificial combat speed, not good camera, terrible qte during boss fights,terrible timing inputs, past past gen environments design, not impressive bosses and enemies design , bland story, cheap deaths,It’s    I wanted to love this game but it s hard too.

    Pros
    Good voice acting, crazy ness , lates sexy witch, combat system, torture attacks, few creative bosses and last levels, stylish menus and interface, some intrigue in story line, craft, speed, 8-10 hr to beat,good difficulty setting balance.    … Expand

    This is one of the cringiest games ive ever played. The dialogue in this game is some of the worst ive ever experienced. Its just bad. None of the characters felt remotley enjoyable on screen. Feels like this was made for 12 year old boys The combat has lots of combos. None of it feels great to pull off. The music blends like diarrhea in your ear. I rather play the original DMC then thksThis is one of the cringiest games ive ever played. The dialogue in this game is some of the worst ive ever experienced. Its just bad.

The music blends like diarrhea in your ear. I rather play the original DMC then thks . So i cant even say its a product of its time. When there are games 10 years older then this that still feel better to play. Ive heard great things about platinum games. This was just utterly dissapointing and ugly to even look at almost aways.… Expand

    The perfectly designed moves and combos, including iconic Witch Time, seem to have never aged a day. Apart from the somewhat dated color grading, Bayonetta is an action game classic. [04/2020, p.68]

    We think these two games deserved a better package, with extras of some kind, but unfortunately we just get a (pretty good) visual upgrade. That said, they are two of the best games developed by PlatinumGames, and it’s great to have them on newer platforms.

    Bayonetta is a game that always delivers. It was great when I played it ten years ago, and it’s great today. The added benefit of playing it in 4k 60fps allows us to see Bayonetta at her very best. Still, this version doesn’t add anything on top of the PC version, but it does give a new generation of gamers the chance to experience what this series has to offer.
