    Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 are easily one of the best, if not THE best action games I have ever played. The combat system is a non-stop roller coaster of fun and excitement that ends up keeping me play the games for hours (particularly Bayonetta 2). There’s a enough meat on the story’s bones to keep you there, but the main focus is the combat and the various well designed characters.

    A stellar action game on the Nintendo Switch. My heart actually races when I play this game because it is so exciting and well made. The level and boss designs are fantastic and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I highly recommend this game.

    Bayonetta 2 still remain the non plus ultra of the genre: technical and incredibly rewarding fights, incredibly inspired boss, crazy story and an artistic style that is unparalleled. If it came out in the ps2 era, in which the mentality of the players was certainly more open, Bayonetta would become a cult game.

    I never got the chance to play the Bayonetta games despite owning a Wii U so I was thrilled when they were announced for the Switch.

I'm glad to say that the hype and praise surrounding the two titles is very deserved. I found the gameplay a little repetitive at first, but then I realized I just had the insta-combo accessory on (in the first game) so if that's anyone's issue, just turn that off. Here's a quick rundown of the features of the games.

    Story: Bayonetta is great in both games, but different at the same time. In the first game, she's much funnier while in the second game, she's more serious. I like seeing both sides of her personality. I'll give the upper hand for story to 1 overall because certain characters are featured much more heavily in the first game, but the second half of 2 is beyond anything 1 had.

    Gameplay: The gameplay of the games is very simple to understand and the combat is really fun. This is one of the few action-based games I've played where I haven't got bored of the combat. Each battle is unique and memorable. 2's gameplay is a little more refined and also has less on-rails segments so I'll give this point to that game.

    Graphics: Obviously 2. The color palette of 1 is a little bland and Bayonetta 2 is one of the best looking games I have ever played. Seriously.

    Soundtrack: Both games have great soundtracks but Bayonetta 1 has much more memorable original themes such as Mysterious Destiny, One of a Kind, You May Call Me Father, and Let's Dance Boys. 2 has a few great tracks like Tomorrow is Mine, Noatun, The Legend of Aesir, and Let's Dance Boys 2 though admittedly not as many. Fly Me to the Moon and Moon River are equally amazing.

    Story: 1 > 2 (slightly)
    Gameplay: 2 >> 1
    Graphics: 2 >> 1
    Soundtrack: 1 > 2

    Both Bayonetta games are fantastic and worth playing but I personally found 2 to be superior in the most important categories. Do yourself a favor and get these games!    … Expand

    A pesar de que en el genero la historia suele pasar a segundo plano, aqui no es trasendente ni maravillosa, pero claro que se entiende pues (reiterando) en el genero la historia no es el fuerte.
    De haberlo jugado en Wii U pocas son las razones para comprarlo ya que unicamente los tiempos de carga, frames y demas detalles tecnicos son los que cambian sin algun contenido adicional destacable.

    The games are as fun as they've always been and it makes most gamers, including myself, insanely excited for Bayonetta 3.
    Overall, a "must-have" in my opinion. Over 8 years later, and Bayonetta 1 is still a blast to play through; and Bayonetta 2 is great as well. Her bewitching personality and fun-to-pull-off combos make the game the opposite of tiresome. After a long day of work, it's great to pop these games in and take your daily frustrations out on fallen angels as one of the most powerful badasses from Platnum.

    Both games are great, amazing even, and I would totally give them a 10 out of 10 if it wasn't for the steep price for 60 bucks for an EIGHT-YEAR-OLD game and FOUR-YEAR-OLD game respectively.

    Are you **** kidding? Crash Bandicoot has 3 games for 40 in HD, Okami HD was 30 retail and 20 download, Shadow of the Colossus is 40 and it's been reworked too, and This is 60? FOR AN EIGHT AND    Both games are great, amazing even, and I would totally give them a 10 out of 10 if it wasn't for the steep price for 60 bucks for an EIGHT-YEAR-OLD game and FOUR-YEAR-OLD game respectively.

    Are you **** kidding? Crash Bandicoot has 3 games for 40 in HD, Okami HD was 30 retail and 20 download, Shadow of the Colossus is 40 and it's been reworked too, and This is 60? FOR AN EIGHT AND FOUR-YEAR-OLD GAME?! WITH LITERALLY NOTHING NEW?!?!?!?! Yes, it's portable, but give me a break on this portable **** that everyone mentions - especially when the switch lasts no longer than 3:30 hours!
    If they at least added something new in both games but they really didn't, it's the same exact game from 8 and 4 years ago plus the Nintendo exclusive gimmick stuff. As if we have to be reminded...

    It's like charging full price for final fantasy 7...the ps1 version! And please don't give them ideas...

    Besides the price, it's also shipped amazingly cheap: 60 bucks for two games sounds like a good deal, until you realize that one is a download code that really could've been inside the game - without mentioning there were cases of misprinted codes, because that's quality for a 60 buck game!
    I could at least let it pass if it was 2 retail boxes or one game containing both games, but nope: you're essentially paying for one game and a download code, which both have 8 and 4-year-old games respectively, for 60 euros/dollars. Do people like to be ripped off or something? Thank God I can return it and get ACTUAL compilations worth the price...like the Uncharted trilogy collection...for 30 bucks...

    But with all this (justified) ranting aside, if you NEVER - EVER - played Bayonetta before or if you never had a pc, PlayStation or Xbox before, can I gladly recommend it despite the steep price: these are the two best action games after Devil May Cry 3 or 4 and the 6 rating can easily turn into a 9 without any trouble for this very reason.
    The graphics quality is okay, handheld works "decently" and if you have a pro controller this game actually is a blast to play and overall, they're fun games with really not much wrong going on besides the occasional frame drop and other tweaks.
    It's just the price and overall quality of the shipment being ultra lazy and questionable, to say the least...

    But if you're like me who actually played Bayonetta before on basically everywhere, you can find the first game on steam (and it's well optimized too), you can still find copies for the ps3 (not recommended) and Xbox 360 (recommended), and if you still own your Wii u you can still find those boxes with both Bayonetta 1 and 2 at a very cheap price , and it's FAR superior in quality than the switch version. The only issue is the second game, which is Nintendo exclusive and ONLY available on Wii U and Switch...but let's be really honest here: with the first game available at a very cheap price (20 bucks on steam), is it worth the additional 40 for the second game? Don't take me wrong it's amazing but unless you're eager to have a complete "collection", you can survive on the first game alone.
    And if you still have a Wii U, just find one of those double boxes with both games (I spent 20 euros for mine) and save up those money for other compilations worth your time...

    ....at least the Wii U version has two retail boxes you can store!    … Expand

Gameplay's has you mostly hacking and slashing through group of hell and heaven military's finest. Although a spectacle, it gets a bit repetitive. Just punching and dodging until the bad guys stop. Fights some baddies, jump on a jet plane, fight baddies on top of the jet plan, rinse and repeat. Not one I'll want to play again, but I recommend it if its on sale and you like the genre.… Expand

    Un juego que deberia ser considerado de culto solo por el carisma de sus personajes. No es un juego para todos los publicos, y no hablo de la calificacion +18. Sus personajes pueden resultar ofensivos a mucha gente que no coja este juego con una mente abierta sexualmente. Bayonetta, la protagonista, es una bruja sexual, muy sexual, sin ningun tipo de inhibicion ni verguenza alguna. SusUn juego que deberia ser considerado de culto solo por el carisma de sus personajes. No es un juego para todos los publicos, y no hablo de la calificacion +18. Sus personajes pueden resultar ofensivos a mucha gente que no coja este juego con una mente abierta sexualmente. Bayonetta, la protagonista, es una bruja sexual, muy sexual, sin ningun tipo de inhibicion ni verguenza alguna. Sus movimientos entran directamente en lo pornografico, el sadismo y control que muestra son dignos de una verdadera dominatrix... sin mencionar que vamos todo el juego desnudos, cubiertos unicamente por nuestro pelo al que damos forma de ropa. Con todo esto dicho, es facil saltar a acusar el juego de machista (y tiene connotaciones machistas), pero en linias generales bayonetta es un personaje que tiene en si mucho mas de feminista de lo que es normal en el sector. No hay planos en los que estemos enfocandonos a sus partes ni nada similares (no hay tipicas camaras bajas durante todo el juego enfocando a las posaderas de nuestra protagonista porque si como tantisimos otros juegos), si no que se siente mas que bayonetta es sexual porque quiere serlo y cuando quiere serlo, todo aderezado de una exageracion y violencia que rodea a todo el juego y recuerda al cine de "chicos duros" de los 80.
    Y dejando la historia de lado, ¿que decir del gameplay que no haya sido dicho? Simplemente brillante e increiblemente fluido. Puedes coger el mando, elegir una combinacion de armas, y comenzar a apretar botonespara ver un sinfin de combos y diferentes ataques en rapida sucesion. Naturalmente esto no te llevara muy lejos excepto en los modos mas faciles. Si quieres jugar en normal o en las dificultades mas extremas (que es donde este juego mas brilla) necesitas saber que es lo que estas haciendo cuando encadenas ataques, corregir tus acciones en funcion de lo que hagan tus oponentes en fracciones de segundo, y dominar el tiempo brujo, un esquive en el ultimo momento que nos permitira ralentizar el tiempo y desencadenar nuestros mejores ataques. Aquellos que quieran exprimir al maximo el juego podran pasar horas perfeccionando sus habilidades para conseguir la puntacion de platino puro en cada capitulo.
    En lo personal, y contrariamente a la norma, disfrute mas el bayonetta 1 que el 2, seguramente por la mayor dificultad del 1 y posiblemente tambien mejor ajustada. Igualmente, este pack con ambos juegos es un imperdible para cualquiera que le gust el genero, y tambien para otros que quieran probarlo siempre que no les eche atras la dificultad o personalidad del juego    … Expand

    A mi gusto los mejores hack and slash que he jugado.
    Personajes carismáticos, enemigos que dan la talla, y muy rejugables.

    Glad I preordered it.
    Both are solid games, and excellent ones, but the one that's the best is the sequel.

    Qué decir de Bayonetta... una de las obras más grandes que ha dado la industria. Un hack n slash con una jugabilidad tan adictiva que desprende diversión por todas partes sumado a su impecable banda sonora.
    La historia del 1 es algo peor que la del 2, pero ambos juegos te harán disfrutar como nunca si te gusta encadenar golpes y disfrutar de un gameplay variado y rápido

    Some of the best hack and slash games you can play. The combat is incredibly satisfying and polished, with tons of combos and other mechanics that make it so good. Bayonetta 2 wins by far in the combat aspect. Also, the characters are very interesting and there are some very funny silly moments in the stories. Amazing bundle.

    Bayonetta 1 and 2 are the games that made me love videogames again. Not only on the fact that gives you the best action i've seen in a videogame, but also the quantity of replay value that it offers is crazy.

    Bayonetta 2 is the better game with improved combat, gameplay, setting and BGM. Bayonetta 1 felt repetitive and slightly more difficult. I wasn't invested in the story in both games. If I had to pick one, Astral Chain is better.

    The perfect bundle to get into the serie of Bayonetta. The Bayonetta's saga is one of those were the lore it's no extremely deep, but if you have played the previous games you get another level of experience in the following entries.

    Bayonetta 1 and 2 in a bundle, those two games are an experience that you should see by yourself, when you think "how are they going to top this?" then they top it, it's a constant evolution.

    Between the tongue-and-cheek gameplay and the upgraded playability, Bayonetta 1 & 2 for the Nintendo Switch are remarkably polished ports.

    I’m glad Bayonetta 2 finally managed to escape the Wii U prison, because it’s too good a game to rot along a dying platform. PlatinumGames’ series is the pinnacle of the hack’n’slash genre and I strongly recommend it to every Switch user. [04/2018, p.71]

    It all adds up to one of the must-have games on the Switch, alongside Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Skyrim. Still need a reason to buy a Switch? You’re all out of them.
