It gleams with creativity and polish in absolutely every department. Had you asked me to find issue with the original Wii U release, I would have told you that significant frame rate drops can be an problem. Given the Switch’s correction of this singular issue, I have yet to identify a single thing to take issue with in Bayonetta 2 on Switch. I’ll let you know if one day I find something.

Whatever you're playing right now, drop it immediately and buy Bayonetta 2 - this is a game of dizzying quality. Can a port win Game of the Year? Hmm... Food for thought.

One of the greatest action games of all time justifies its presence once again to all players out there.

Its predecessor still stands as one of the finest games of its genre. To have surpassed that with Bayonetta 2, and to have created a game that will be remembered as an absolute classic, is nothing short of astonishing.

Years after its initial release, Bayonetta 2 keeps on delivering. It is still the best beat them all you can play at this time, the most beautiful, the craziest, the most generous. And the fact it's now playable wherever and whenever you want doesn't make it less essential, on the contrary.

Bayonetta 2 for the Nintendo Switch brings a colossal Hack & Slash experience to a portable console for the first time, which can also be enjoyed at home in the living room. A port of a sublime game that could have had more work done on its graphics and gameplay, but that exceeds expectations.

We would've liked to see Nintendo pushing its own hardware further with this version, but Bayonetta 2 is one of the best hack & slash ever made, and being able to play it anywhere is just the perfect excuse to discover this masterpiece.

Bayonetta 2 is one of the best "hack´n slash" games you can play in any console. It delivers intense combat, charming characters and non stop fun. On the down side, the Switch version is almost identical to the Wii U release.

Bayonetta 2 is still an essential game despite the time since its launch on Wii U. This version may not provide excessive improvements or novelties, but if you didn't play at the time, you are facing the perfect opportunity to do so.

The adventures of the sexy witch were superb when thye were first released on the Wii U and -even though there’s nothing really new to find in this edition- they remain superb on Nintendo’s newest console.

If you ever thought about playing either Bayonetta or Bayonetta 2, now is the time. [Issue #32 – March/April 2018, p. 67]

Bayonetta 2 may not be appealing to everyone. Its sexuality and over-the-top tone may be a frustration to some. However, from a design and gameplay point of view, it is up there with the best in its genre.

Bayonetta 2 for Switch is easily one of the best ports that has received the console. Yeah, its the same game that we already played on the Wii U and it doesn't offer anything new aside from the amiibo functionality. However, this is not something necessarily bad because it is still the great, awesome and hectic action game we loved but in a portable version. Even those who have own the first version need to add this fantastic title to their Switch library.

Bayonetta 2 is one of the best beat them all you can play at this time.

Bayonetta 2 looks and plays better than ever, and somehow surpasses the original. A must have action game.

It’s without a doubt, one of the greatest action games in the past decade.

Bayonetta 2 remains a niche title that will annoy some and be loved by others. Some of its mechanics have been left untouched from the original game, and, most importantly, it's pretty much the same deal all over again... and yet, this remains one of the finest specimens of hack 'n' slash-y, brawling fun...now on its perfect home: Nintendo Switch.

After four years Bayonetta 2 remains the best action game ever made, maybe less refined in its combat if compared directly to its amazing predecessor, but still brilliant and spectacular like no other in its genre. A pity there's pretty much nothing new in this port.

Bayonetta 2 on Switch looks smoother and more solid. It is undoubtedly one of the best action games ever made, and it's a joy to play while we wait for the next chapter.

The remastered version of Bayonetta 2 is a moral imperative for every owner of the Nintendo Switch who didn't play the most stylish and crazy action series of all time. There are some issues with the framerate here and there (especially in the exploration sequences), and the screen of the console has a better image quality than the TV. Nonetheless, a must-have for every action fan out there.

A fantastic sequel and one of the greatest action games ever made, and now available on a format that people actually own.

Despite being a three-plus-year-old port, Bayonetta 2 shines brightest on Nintendo Switch. It runs without a hitch at 60fps, looks incredible in both handheld and tabletop modes and offers an addictive free-flowing combat formula that sprinkles in platforming, light exploration and a ridiculous story to create something that you simply need to experience. If you’ve never played it for before, you’re in for a treat. If you’ve already played it, it’s even more bewitching as a handheld gem.

Where Bayonetta 2 for the Wii U left competing titles far behind, the Switch version shatters them completely. Although there isn't a lot of new content, a stable framerate and neat touch controls take the game to a higher level.

The fastest, most spectacular and most beautiful action game on the Nintendo Switch so far. Belongs in every collection.

Even after all these years, Bayonetta 2 on the Nintendo 2 is still a very fun experience with a great gaming engine, exceptional graphics and a female protagonist that will make you laugh and also give you a healthy dose of controller rage. Best of all, Bayonetta 2 adds to the franchise with more crazy gameplay and a ridiculous story but more importantly, a decent Nintendo Switch experience.

Platinum Games did a solid job with the conversion of the sequel to one of the best action games ever. I would have wished for a higher resolution (at least docked) and more visual finetuning, though. And I could do without the “pay-to-shortcut” Amiibo implementation. Having said that, this still is an instant classic.

Bayonetta 1 & 2 is a very good remaster that brings the witch into the modern age with 720p 60fps display, and above all portability. The only drawback is that the first game shows its age, especially when in portable mode, but the gameplay makes all those complaints irrelevant.

Bayonetta 2 is a beautiful sequel to one of the best stylish action game ever. If you haven't played it already, don't miss it on Nintendo Switch.

Bayonetta 2 remains one of Platinum’s best games, and is a treat on Switch just as it was on Wii U.
