    I love me some Bayo.

    This game is so much better on the Switch and even on the WiiU it was a fantastic game. If you have not played the original or Bayo 2 you owe it to yourself.

The polish, the combos, the game elements like Witch Time just elevate this game to a different plane of existence. Few games capture that intense speed while also feeling completely skill based and rewarding the player for getting in the zone. Bayonetta 1 is great and I love the story but 2 really does up the ante in almost every single way. 2 is more fluid, more colorful, more open, better balanced, and just all around more spectacular.

    Can't recommend these games enough if you like action games at all.    … Expand

    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.

    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

    Both games look great on the Switch, staying at a near 60fps running at 1280 x 720.
    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.
    Absolutely amazing.    … Expand

    Bayonetta is hands-down one of the best games in my library and I am so happy to have had the chance to play it. The sequel builds on everything the first game has to offer and refines it. The story is a bit less engaging in the sequel, but it's still fun to go through. Personally, I like Bayonetta's appearance in the first game compared to the second game, but she looks great on both games anyways.

    The Switch version is definitely the definitive version. I am very happy to see PlatinumGames' best work finally being recognized on a console that has a lot more traction going for it than the Wii U.

    As for those who complain about pricing: believe me, it justifies the price. And this is coming from someone who has now Triple-dipped on Bayonetta (Wii U, PC, and now Switch).    … Expand

    I am so happy Bayonetta 2 is on Switch now. I didn't buy the WiiU but believe me I almost bought it only for that game. I had Bayonetta 1 on PS3 and honestly I think it's an awesome geisture to put the first game as well. I had a lot of fun revisiting it too. Thanks for this amazing series, can't wait for more.

    Epic hack and slash!The story in the first one was a bit mediocre, but on the 2nd game the story was better and made you understand the story of the first game and the overall story better. No words for the graphics and the gameplay. Just awsome.

    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.

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

    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.
