    Bayonetta 2 is not only one of the best sequels ever made, but quite possibly one of the best character action game ever made; and we have yet to see more of DMC5! The plot is confusing and paper-thin, characters are quirky and comedic, but you probably won't notice until you play through the game more then twice because of how much fun it is.

    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..

    Less than 2 weeks ago, I reviewed the first "Bayonetta" game and I gave it a 9 out of 10. I thought it was a pretty awesome game that's aged pretty well 8 years later. Now, keep that in mind for a second: I gave that game a 9 out of 10 less than 2 weeks ago, you got that? Now, I want to think about the worst action-orientated game you've ever played. Anything. You have one? Good. Now,Less than 2 weeks ago, I reviewed the first "Bayonetta" game and I gave it a 9 out of 10. I thought it was a pretty awesome game that's aged pretty well 8 years later.

You have one? Good. Now, consider this: having just played and beaten "Bayonetta 2," I have to say this, and some may disagree, but here it is: "Bayonetta 2" makes the first "Bayonetta" game, a 9 out of 10 game, in my eyes, look like that absolutely awful action-orientated game that you're thinking of right now. That's how fantastic "Bayonetta 2" is.
    The sequel that may not have happened had it not been for Nintendo, "Bayonetta 2" may be one of the finest action games of all time, and it's definitely gonna be remembered as a highlight of the eighth generation. The visuals are vibrant and gorgeous, the story brings even more of the campy fun of the first game (with some more high-stakes, badass action as well), the gameplay remains very smooth and the boss battles even more exciting than before, the combat system has been improved in many ways to be faster, more fluid, and much deeper than before, and despite the relatively short length of the game, there's a lot of stuff to collect and do here. I really cannot complain about a thing with the game even if I tried, "Bayonetta 2" is the rare sequel to an already-great game that not only outdoes its predecessor, but runs circles around said predecessor to the point where it makes the old game look like total garbage. This is a game that everyone should experience and, now that it's on the Switch and plays at 60 FPS...what the hell are you waiting for? Go buy this game!!!!!

    Bayonetta 2 is an absolute blast from start to finish. It's stylish, fast-paced, and loaded with variety. The music is great; the visual elements are sharp; and the performance is consistently strong. Easy to recommend for all Nintendo Switch owners.

    Bayo 2 is one of the greatest games of all time. It is the Devil May Cry on steroids. The combos are easy to pull off, but they do take practice. You will be destroying demons in no time with some practice. The story is crazy, but that is fine, it whisk you up with how silly it all is, but there is some deep emotions in the game as well to keep it grounded.

    The graphics get a mild upgrade, it is the frame rate that got upgraded the most and it helps. The smoother frame rate helps pull off combos much easier and keeps the action going so you don't lose momentum. Better shadows and lighting do help the atmosphere.
    The controls are butter smooth and they don't put too much on the player. You do get some tutorials to help you figure out how to do a lot of the combos, but it wants you to experiment with button pushing and analog pressing. The set pieces are just breathtaking and set a new bench mark for action games.
    If you think what you see in COD is amazing, you ain't seen nothing yet. The action pieces on this are simply amazing and will keep blowing you away, even after you have played it over 10 times. Simply put, this is the action masterpiece to get. This game is better than the game that inspired it. DMC, which is saying a lot, but this game is leagues ahead of any action game today, so if you don't have it, get it, and is there enough new content to get it again? Not a whole lot, but the portability aspect alone makes it worth 60 bucks. Get this game now.    … Expand

    This is basically a Hack 'n Slash Staple, revamped for the Switch in the best fashion possible! Bought the console for this game, was not disappointed. Just did not like the amiibo rewards, but it comes with the Nintendo territory... Still, great story, over the top action and style! Kudos for Platinum Games!

    Bayonetta 2 feels like it was born out of an impossible bet: can you take the craziest character action game ever made, and make it crazier? Against all odds, Bayonetta 2 delivers. It's still Bayonetta, with all the knobs turned up to 11. The first level alone contains more over-the-top action than most game's final boss battle.

    I don't own a Wii U so I was pissed to hear that Bayonetta got an exclusive title. I went trough so many forums just to find a glimpse of hope, that one day they will port it to other consoles, but it never happened.
    Then I bought a Switch and I almost got a heart attack when I heared it will be ported to Switch.

    Bayonetta 2 es muy parecido al primer Bayonetta, excepto un millón de veces mejor, es exagerado como el infierno y no se toma en serio a sí mismo. Si has jugado bayonetta, tienes una buena idea de cómo será esto. Tiene una cantidad interminable de combos increíblemente animados que fluyen entre sí sin problemas y ofrece una cantidad casi infinita de combinaciones, incluso más infinitas queBayonetta 2 es muy parecido al primer Bayonetta, excepto un millón de veces mejor, es exagerado como el infierno y no se toma en serio a sí mismo. Si has jugado bayonetta, tienes una buena idea de cómo será esto. Tiene una cantidad interminable de combos increíblemente animados que fluyen entre sí sin problemas y ofrece una cantidad casi infinita de combinaciones, incluso más infinitas que su predecesora, que pueden comenzar como un combo y terminar como otro si lo cambias en mitad de la animación.

    Equipas a Bayonetta con armas tanto en manos como en pies, esto hace aún más combos y posibles estilos de juego, que cada uno maneja de manera diferente dependiendo de dónde los equipas. Al igual que en el primer juego, no todas las armas pueden equiparse a sus pies, pero hay más que pueden y todas las armas que pueden también pueden equiparse tanto en manos como en pies al mismo tiempo.

    Cada enemigo tiene ahora varias animaciones de golpe y aturdimiento basadas en con qué lo golpeaste y dónde, mientras que el original solo tenía una por enemigo. Esto se suma al espectáculo y te hace sentir un poco más rudo. como antes, puedes seguir disparando tus armas de mano y pie a mitad del combo al enemigo para extender el aire o el tiempo de aturdimiento, pero ahora se siente más fluido y hay más variedad de ataques posibles. Todas las armas ahora tienen la posibilidad de disparar un proyectil si detienes un combo y mantienes un ataque. Esto también es más variado que en el primer juego, donde esto solo resultó en disparar una especie de arma de carga del arma con la que atacaste, pero ahora tienes parte u otras funciones del arma que se descarga para servir como proyectil .
    No hay nada en este juego que sea inferior al juego original, incluso toda la sensualidad se mantiene a pesar de estar en un sistema Nintendo. De hecho, es aún más arriesgado que el primer juego.

    Los gráficos son maravillosos y una verdadera vista para la vista. Y a diferencia del primer juego, que tenía gráficos y colores muy sosos, este juego tiene la paleta de colores en pantalla completa con grandes contrastes y ubicaciones mucho más variadas, tanto en términos de diseño de nivel como de arquitectura. También hay algunos niveles con muchos ríos y piscinas por donde se camina, donde el agua crea una hermosa réplica del paisaje en su reflejo.

    La música es fantástica y realmente crea el ambiente para la acción y el personaje de Bayonettas. Es una mezcla peculiar de jazz de estilo antiguo de los años 40 y pop y rock moderno, y complementa el estilo sexy y atrevido, pero de clase alta del juego.

    Algunos de los mayores defectos de la primera Bayonetta, como las secciones de conducción o el minijuego de arcade de ataque de ángel obligatorio, se han ido o se han solucionado esta vez. Todavía tiene las secciones del vehículo, tanto de aire, agua y tierra, pero se han mejorado mucho. Las secciones son más cortas y profundas en términos de mecánica de juego, con un control muy mejorado.

    El ritmo del juego también se mejora significativamente. Muchos se quejaron de la falta de jefes o * sobrepasamiento * en los primeros pasos de Bayonetta. En Bayonetta 2, comienzas inmediatamente con una batalla loca en la cima de un avión de combate haciendo acrobacias aéreas en una ciudad, el avión se destruye y terminas en un tren con un ángel gigante en el techo de un tren de alta velocidad en un puente que finalmente culmina con una batalla contra tu propio dragón demonio alrededor de la cima de un rascacielos.

    Dado que esta es una exclusiva de Wii U, por supuesto tiene contenido de Nintendo. Este contenido viene en forma de una serie de disfraces y cambios de apariencia que se asemeja a ciertos personajes de Nintendo. Estos son tan sexys como otros disfraces de Bayonettas. estos no solo cambian el aspecto de Bayonettas, también cambian ciertos aspectos de la jugabilidad o el mundo. como los demonios en los ataques de bayonetas cambian a bowser en los trajes de melocotón y margarita.

    Este es un juego imprescindible para el que absolutamente puedes comprar una sola consola.    … Expand

    Will not go into many details but game is absolutely amazing. Visually delightful, incredibly fun and surprisingly story this time is understandable and at an excellent pacing. This is the kind of game that makes its prequel greater only by the fact of its existence. Try it and you know what I mean.

    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.
