    I enjoyed Bayonetta 2, far more so than the first and third games. That isn't to say Bayo 2 is a perfect game though, it has problems shared across all of the games such as being far too much "on rails". For instance while in a level you can't leave one area and return to fight enemies again to practice your skills "realtime", so to speak, like you can in games like the original DMC.I enjoyed Bayonetta 2, far more so than the first and third games.

For instance while in a level you can't leave one area and return to fight enemies again to practice your skills "realtime", so to speak, like you can in games like the original DMC. Having to hold a button down for a few seconds to use an item is also very at odds with the style of gameplay, something which DMC got right out of the gate on the first attempt by simply having green orbs occasionally drop in fights and sometimes able to be found in destructible objects. While the Bayo games do this too the odds are so low you might as well forget it does it at all. What Bayo 2 does get right, at least mostly, is game balancing and actually explaining things. Far more explanation is done in dialog rather than lazily scattered into levels as pages to find like a badly constructed Skyrim quest. It's easy to see why Bayo 2 is considered by far the best game once you have played them all. In fact I'll probably revisit Bayo 2 in future, something I cant say about the first and third games.… Expand

    The Soundtrack of the game is wonderful! Its working fine on the Switch no dropping fps.
    Bayonetta‘s Voice is making me so calm.
    The Story is fine and the gameplay is really good and smooth. A lovely game

    Juntamente com DMC 3, bayonetta 2 é um dos meus "Hack and Slash" favoritos, conseguindo melhorar sobre seu antecessor em todos os aspectos.

    Incredible sequel. The story itself is less interesting than the first game but the storytelling is better. The core gameplay step up a little bit at the price of a difficulty a bit to easy.

    What could it be said when a game is touch perfection. It's an ectasy of fabulous action gameplay. You've got no time to take a breath. It's always moving, fighting, dancing, shooting... just the best Hack and Slash of all time.

    Amazing game, very similar to first one but with better graphics and overall quality. First bayonetta had more humor and for me it was stand out feature of that game. Sequel is unfortunately more serious but there are some funny moments of course. Game is polished and it's simply joyful experience.

    My favourite in this now trilogy. Polished the visuals. Streamlined the story. Kept the camp and turned it up to eleven. Gameplay wise I'm aware it has it's flaws when compared to the first- but I still really enjoy this and would take it any day over the third instalment.

    Bayonetta 2 takes all the things that were amazing and fun from Bayonetta 1 and polishes it to perfection...The combat is a bit tighter and smother, the progesion is more enjoyable, it's just the same but perfected..And the ending, damn the last fights were cool, I got chills and " One Punch" vibes..

    juego increíble, no decepciona como segunda parte y fue la razón por la cual compre la wii u, una banda sonora magistral, personajes carismáticos, muestra a la totalidad todo lo que un buen hack & slash debe ser y como se debe hacer

    A fantastic game that was originally released on the terrible WiiU console but thanks to some smart people at Nintendo the game was ported to the Nintendo Switch. So now you can enjoy this fantastic game on the go.

    Just finished this game as I am getting ready for Bayonetta 3. And I have to say that Platinum has done it again! The combat system had so many improvements and even more options then the first. This series is truly a must play. Had so much fun with this. Highly recommended for hack-n-slash, action and DMC fans.

    On a un gameplay excellent et exigeant qui est haché par des cinématiques qui ne raconte rien de bien passionnant, le gros problème est qu'on enchaine souvent des sessions de 10 minutes de combat et 5 minutes de cinématique avec une histoire loin d'être mauvaise mais qui est bourré de clichés vidéoludiques et cousu de fils blancs (L'héroine qui veut sauver son amie, la personne amnésique qui cherche qui elle est, un rival mystérieux, un antagoniste qui veut gouverner le monde et qui décide d'envoyer ses pions et intervenir en tant que boss final) dans un scénario tout écrit, tout fini par bien se passer pour tout le monde et finalement il n'y a aucun événement surprenant qui touche nos sentiments.

    On a aussi un game design plutôt intéressant à mon sens, un BTA Classique mais efficace qui à un système de "notation" des combats effectués par le joueur ( Temps d'éxécution, combo et dmg encaissés), ce qui donne une envie de s'améliorer et de s'investir dans le jeu, de vouloir recommencer les versets pour gratter toutes les notations maximale des niveaux, seulement, le retry est assez frustrant, si vous finissez un niveau de 10 versets, que vous réussissez parfaitement 9/10, vous devez recommencer la totalité du niveau pour retenter le verset "loupé", quel dommage, si seulement un mod qui aurai pu nous faire retry chaque verset comme on le souhaite.

    Et ça m'énerve un peu, car ce sont ces deux choses qui m'empêche de l'apprécier à 100%

    Le reste du jeu est plutôt maitrisé, on a un level design intéressant qui pousse le joueur à fouiller, à trouver les items utiles ainsi que les zones cachés.

    La difficulté est équilibré, un nouveau joueur qui voudra juste se défouler sans trop chercher la profondeur du gameplay pourra le terminer en spammant le même combo et en se bourrant de buff de vie et de dégats, tandis que le joueur expérimenté pourra optimiser tout son gameplay et maitriser le jeu parfaitement.

    Les personnages sont tous plutôt bien écrit, et chacun est unique en son genre, dommage qu'il soit juste sous-développés, Jeanne est badass mais peu présente, Rodin et Luka sont marrant mais passe en coup de vent, Loki pourrai être attachant mais impossible de nouer quelque chose sur une durée de vie aussi petite (9 heures), le récit aurai gagné beaucoup plus à faire interagir ces personnages entre eux, plutôt que d'essayer de se prendre au sérieux à raconter la légende d'un dieu.

    La DA est correct dans l'ensemble, parcourir l'enfer fais quand même son petit effet, même si quelques villes sont plutôt terne.

    Et le jeu est quand même sacrément spectaculaire, voir un monstre gigantesque passez au-dessus de nous avant le combattre est quand même impressionnant.

    J'aurai aimé que les développeurs se concentrent plus à rendre le côté vidéoludique encore plus fun et qu'ils auraient laissé l'histoire n'être juste un contexte.

    Donc finalement, on a un à un tel décalage entre le côté actif et inactif du jeu. C'est grisant en y jouant, mais on s'ennuie un peu en tant que spectateur. J'aurai aimé soit que les deux parties se mélangent parfaitement ou que les développeurs mettent tous leurs savoir-faire sur un seul en particulier. Dommage.    … Expand

    great game, improved the gameplay, but the story does not feel something important. As if this part is spifnoff. It cannot be compared with the story scenes of the first part, as an example: a battle in space, a motorcycle ride on a rocket, a battle on a skyscraper, etc.

    - Solid hack and slash action with multiple variety of battle types to keep things from getting stale
    - Music is epic AF - Characters and enemy designs are cool and unique - Camera pannings during fights are better and not obstructing unlike the first game does. - Pacing is designed multiple times better than the first game. The mashing part no longer feels too mashy, Such as    Pro

    Il était pas facile de faire mieux que le premier Bayonetta et pourtant la suite place la barre encore plus haut.
    Et pourtant la suite fait encore mieux avec plus de possibilité de gameplay 2 personnages permettant de jouer en coop. Les boss sont toujours aussi spectaculaires.
    Platinum Games est une fois de plus grâce au génie de Yoko Taro.

    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.
