    It's fun, It's ok, but IMO I'd much rather be playing Devil May Cry or the first 3 God of Wars. I feel like it's just a "meh" kind of game and honestly don't care if a third one ever comes out, as I will most likely skip it.

    Man, they sure did turn a game as intricate as Bayonetta into one of if not the easiest button masher I've ever played, huh...

    Vivement qu'il arrive sur PS4 en Trilogie avec le troisième opus.
    Car on voit clairement la limitations technique de la Switch.

    This game is a complete disappointment. The story is weir and and funny but everything else is quite plastic. The fights are ridiculously messy and there are lots of moment wheee everything is far too small to see anything. The camera is just too far away from the action. The makers had lots of great ideas but it’s just not interesting to fight in a fighting game. You can do a lot ofThis game is a complete disappointment. The story is weir and and funny but everything else is quite plastic. The fights are ridiculously messy and there are lots of moment wheee everything is far too small to see anything. The camera is just too far away from the action. The makers had lots of great ideas but it’s just not interesting to fight in a fighting game. You can do a lot of things like upgrade weapons and this seems to have zero influence on anything. I couldn’t even finish this game. I’m a great fan of God of war series and hoped for something similar. Not really. Twisted plot. Funny characters. Superficial gameplay.… Expand

    I Wouldn’t recommend over the first one Im really surprised of how many people say it’s better then first one but in actuality it’s not it’s far from that even. When we talk about bayo we are talking about the best action game ever made and that’s a fact you can’t argue with that yes you may nitpick about the gimmick that are here in there but that doesn’t effect the main action gameplayI Wouldn’t recommend over the first one Im really surprised of how many people say it’s better then first one but in actuality it’s not it’s far from that even. When we talk about bayo we are talking about the best action game ever made and that’s a fact you can’t argue with that yes you may nitpick about the gimmick that are here in there but that doesn’t effect the main action gameplay itself. I have played all the mainstream action titles God of war, devil may cry, god hand, ninja gaiden and so on. And say for sure that bayo is the most polished and balanced in terms of gameplay mechanics and enemy AI and how they behave against the player also their design make sense to their attack pattern not like the bayo2 where it looks flashy but you can’t tell how they gonna attack. The AI in Bayo were very smart but you need to play the game at least on hard to know that. Their number of spawn aren’t random it’s calculated to be balanced; you do not fight 5 Grace and Glory in hard you fight 2 after you finish them the other 3 respawns and that to balance the flow of the fight the enemies are aggressive and comes to the player from a different directions the ones whos attacks are long range stay far from his comrades and that for when you attack the closer ones with wicked wave it will not reach him, even the closer ones come at you from different angles firstly not to interfere with their comrades attack and secondly to not get caught in the player wicked waves on the others. Now in bayo2 you have a barbaric enemies who is fast but doesn’t give much thought about their positioning and even the ones who comes back from the first game unfortunately and the player has a massive AOE attack that effect the whole area while spamming one button mindlessly instead of the torture attack which was a very good mechanic there was this equation where you torture an enemy and lose magic-> get his weapon that can do a massive damage as a reward -> use the weapon to rise your combo while replenish your magic -> use the magic to do insta wicked waves like the Heel Stomp. What’s good about those kind of Wicked waves that they don’t require a combo and you do them for cheap only three or for jewels from your magic they stagger the strong and fast enemies while may kill the week ones because of their damage and again the area of effect aren’t huge even of use the sword the enemies in the air or behind you or the long range you your attack wont reach them.
    Anyway I will stay days to explain why Bayo is better then 2 in terms of gameplay depth and mechanics, enemies design and AI, boss fights. Other then that you may see it’s better but even the story I think it’s worse the controls are good the brightness     … Expand

    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.

    Bayonetta 2 is Action video gaming perfected. The game is simply great, with amazing set pieces and a crazy story, but the real highlight of the game is the combat that simply thrives on letting the player figure out the best ways to tackle a fight without holding your hand. With the extra modes and the added bonus of the first game, there is no getting around it – this game is a masterpiece and a must have on the Switch.

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