    Revised score from 10 to 6 now that I finished the game. Having played through the entire game, I find that it's the weakest of the 3 in the Bayonetta series. The Switch control struggles with the large monsters at times, and the exploration gets a bit confusing at times, and overall the game does get tired because it loses the fluidity of ongoing combat from the first 2 games. Overall it's still Bayonetta, but it's no match for #1 and #2, with #2 being my favourite.

    *** Earlier review below ***

    It's full-on Bayonetta action, but much BIGGER and BADDER, a masterpiece!

    Well, it took FOREVER for Nintendo and Platinum to release Bayonetta 3 and I'm only too glad it's finally here. I absolutely love the Bayonetta series so I replayed Bayonetta 1 and 2 back to back in readiness for this. Was Bayonetta 3 worth the wait? You bet! While I'm relatively early in the game, I can assure Bayonetta fans that Bayonetta 3 introduces new mechanics like the monster-controlling Demon Slave move very early on, so there's no time to feel as if this is just a same old Bayonetta game. When I first activated Demon Slave, it brought back the same feeling as when Mario first took over the T-Rex in Super Mario Odyssey. There's a certain "weight" to the monsters you control in Demon Slave, and it feels good. Because of the much larger scale of monsters you control, some fights are really between giants - a bit like King Kong vs Godzilla. This makes Bayonetta 3 the most epic in terms of scale of some battles.

    If you're new to Bayonetta, you're in for a treat. Bayonetta is an action game. An over-the-top action game. The signature of Bayonetta games is the crazy, over the top, non-stop bombastic action sequences and combos you can do. In this 3rd outing all the crazy over the top action moves remain, and certain levels have some exploration to be done, but some other things are different. For example, you upgrade your abilities in a slightly more "RPG" way and the enemies seem more agile and fluid than their rather rocky and hard predecessors. In some way, it makes them just slightly more challenging than the early baddies from the early games. But with the ability to change difficulties anytime, you can change it to whatever suits you best. Of course, the original voice of Bayonetta has changed hands from Hellena Taylor to Jennifer Hale. I prefer Hellena's voice due to stronger inflexions but I think I'll get used to Jennifer's eventually.

    As for the story (no spoilers here), right at the very beginning of the story, I thought, no way they're doing this to Bayonetta but I'll leave you to discover the story! All in all, I can say it's certainly worth the wait for the Umbran Witch's return. Bayonetta is just brilliant as ever. Love it.    … Expand

    This game is truly a blast from the beginning till the end. Bayonetta is back baby. The Demon Slave and Demon Masquerade are amazing additions. The new weapons are weird but immensely fun o use and unique. The story is not great to be honest, but then again games like these don't really focus on the plot. Its more style over substance. Lets dance boys.

    Bayonetta 3 is definitely an outstanding game. The story expands the Bayonetta universe while keeping the style and attitude, alongside surprising twists and awesome cutscenes. You'll try to stop Singularity, which has an army of biological human weapons, which tear through the universe, destroying the worlds in the multiverse one by one.

You'll try to stop Singularity, which has an army of biological human weapons, which tear through the universe, destroying the worlds in the multiverse one by one. The music doesn't fall short either, with new songs and remixes that won't get out of your head. The design of the enemies, environments and demons looks better than ever, although I found the new look of the characters a bit unappealing. Now let's talk about gameplay. Bayonetta 3 has by far the most refined gameplay in the series. The new mechanics introduces to the combat include summoning demons to help you, adding them as combo finishers and controlling them. You'll get to control different versions of Bayonetta, each with her own unique weapon and demon, which you'll eventually achieve. It's super fun to mix up weapons and demons during the combat, which was more so Bayonetta 1 difficult rather than 2, which I prefer (which means it was harder this time around). You'll also control Viola, which plays differently than Bayonetta. She can obtain witch-time by parrying attacks from enemies, which I liked. Her sword play also felt great, because I usually like the sword weapons the most in Bayo 1&2, and she plays similar to that. She can also use Cheshire to help her, which mixes up the demons' usual mechanics. The weakest part of the gameplay by far is Jeanne, which plays in 2D stealth stages, which kills the pace of the game. They're annoying, unsatisfying, slow and clunky. To simply put it- I wish it wasn't here at all. But besides that, there really is nothing like playing Bayonetta- getting those insane combo chains, hitting enemies the size of a skyscraper and performing Climaxes- it's all here, and it's awesome. One of the most concerning thing leading up to the game's release was the performance of the game. Luckily- I think it's alright. I never experienced anything that hurt the combat experience. I will say that the game has some fps struggles, but it's nothing major. I was more bothered with pop in, which was really noticeable when roaming around in the stages. Luckily, I am willing to give all these problems a pass, because Bayonetta 3 has some seriously incredible graphics. From the cutscenes to fast-paced gameplay, world design and details- it's seriously impressive that the Switch can pull off these graphics, and they definitely contribute to how immersive the world feels. In conclusion- buy this game. I can feel how much work went into it, and it was obviously the product of hard work and a lot of passion. Just ignore Jeanne's stages. 9.5/10.… Expand

Bayo 3 is an excellent entry in an excellent series and the gameplay has never felt better. Platinum has mastered the Bayonetta formula. Any fan of the genre would be doing a huge disservice to themselves by passing on it.… Expand

The gameplay is as tight as ever, further exploring Bayonetta's own toolkit, while introducing new means of demon slaying with other characters. The action, set pieces, and lunacy of it all have hit a new high with this entry. The new introductions and expansions that work for the gameplay are a mixed bag for the story - the game seems to take inspiration from its peers such as Devil May Cry 5, Astral Chain, etc., without really reaching their highs, while also building on top of Bayonetta 1 & 2's meddling with time by adding multiverses. What this ultimately produces is an ending that will satisfy some, confused others, and leave people either happy or disappointed with Bayonetta 3's ultimate conclusion. As a story, Bayonetta 3 will be something that fans and non-fans will be divided over. As a game though? My goodness is it a blast to play. Go play 1 & 2, and then come back and enjoy the bombastic lunacy that is Bayonetta 3.… Expand

    Amazing game. It is an evolution of what we have played on Bayonetta 1 and 2, full of new mechanics, and with a thrilling story. The gameplay feels fresh but it needs some time to get used to new actions. It is also a more cinematic than previous ones. I have played more than 5 hours and am loving it.

    This game feels so fresh right now with all that sh1+ we have in games built only for merchandising and not love, this game has been done with love, is frenetic, keeps its essence, fluid, beautiful. I'm close to finish it and I don't really want this to end :(

    I hope there would be more games like this we I really enjoy without leaving my life

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be honest, I do not really like this game as much as Bayonetta 1 & even Bayonetta 2. I thought with demon slave and wink slave, there will be more fun combos to be explored, but turned out it is not the case. It is a bad decision to remove the feature that allows players to equip different weapons sets on hands and legs. I hate the kaiju fights, it felt like I am playing as a sloth, not a demon. But these Kaiju fight are not skippable verses as these are boss fights, so it is really annoying.

    Also, The Verge and Polygon reviewers were right about the character assassination. The story does not make sense at all and the characters in Bayo 3 looked soul-less. It is just going into every universe, kills off the Beta Bayo for the drama, get her demon and go?!?!
    I feel cringe to see the most badass witches, who fought gods in the previous games, became so naive in this game and get killed the stupidest way possible: facing their back to the enemies.
    Come on! The main Bayo and Jeanne have survived the witch hunts and lived for more than 500 years, and then they just believed whatever they were told blindly?! Seriously?!
    The main characters in Bayo 1 and 2 have made this franchise so loveable. But they have decided to kill them off so they can introduce Viola as the new Bayonetta?
    Sorry, but I wont get as hyped, or might not even play it anymore if there is another installment in the future.    … Expand

    An amazing entry into the Bayonetta series.
    I love the introduction of using the demons masquerades into combat and exploration. All of the weapons are interesting. In previous Bayonetta games I'd usually find and stick with one weapon, but this time around I enjoy trying them all and often go back and forth between old favorites and weapons recently acquired.

    While I'm not the biggest fan of multi-verse stories I feel that it was handled well and it's fun.
    The combat is fun and satisfying, the world exploration is the best it has ever been.

    There are also plenty of set pieces and mini-games that back up the usual combat so you don't get too fatigued from a long string of battles. Jeanne's side scrolling levels are fun to play. Bayonetta's boss battles are usually divided into normal combat boss battles followed up with mini game boss battles helps to make things varied and interesting.

    I'm not the biggest fan of Viola or her combat, but she's a fine addition to the cast of characters and her parts tend to be short so levels with her usually start wrapping up when I start to get bored of her.

    A few minor gripes
    I miss Bayonetta 2's co-op competitions for halos, I also think the enemies in Bayonetta 3 can sometimes be a bit too easy compared to the Bayonetta/Bayonetta 2 enemies.
    I wish the weapons felt a bit more unique and varied in their combos and special attacks. I think they did Jeanne dirty with how ugly she looks, and I didn't find many of the costumes that interesting, sticking almost exclusively to the first costume that you unlock in the game.

    But all in all I enjoyed this entry into Bayonetta and loved every moment of it.    … Expand

Is it funny? Will we finally see Ed and Edna IRL? Why is the fandom salty? These questions may or may not be answered in this review.

    I've finished the game twice now, on standard and on expert mode. And I think there are some legitimate criticisms to be made about the game. But all in all, I think it's a solid romp, and I have many positives things to say about it.

    The one aspect of B3 that I think really outdoes the previous games is the music. I didn't dislike the previous OSTs, but the music slaps hard this time around. The jazz is pumped up compared to the previous games, and Gh()st is a legit banger. Eff yeah.

    Action-wise, I like the overall feel of the game. I like the witch time system better than in B2. There, the time available for doing combos was so short, I'd always just mash punch-kick-punch to get the shortest wicked weave, and usually the last hit would happen outside of witch time. Now, on a well-timed dodge, the witch-time is much longer and allows for longer combos. I also liked most of the arcadey bits in the game. I like the rails shooter, I like the Panzer Dragon bit (though the camera could have been better), I liked the opera scene. The ones controlling Gomorrah are a bit meh because he moves so slowly, but on average I think these “mini-games” are fun.

    The Jeanne levels are a ton of fun on Normal, but kind of a hassle on Expert. On Normal I felt like I was really infiltrating a secret, high security bunker. On Expert, the enemy respawn rate is too high to really move around discreetly and do the fun spy stuff. I'm not excited about trying it on Infinite Climax. The James Bond/Persona 5-style intro is absolute fire, though.

    I like Viola's gameplay, but it does seem a bit restrictive that she only has access to one weapon and one demon. I get that it makes sense thematically and for the story, but for a gonzo action game it would not have affected my suspension of disbelief if she had more skills to choose from.

    A lot of people seem to hate Viola, but I don't know why. She's supposed to be an edgy annoying emo teenager, but that’s kind of the point? Kids, they're a mess, you know? I think her lack of self awareness contrasts well with her constant slapstick goof ups. Viola probably owns a Thrasher t-shirt without realizing it's a skateboarding magazine. It's funny, you know, the ignorance, it's funny, just laugh, they're kids, they don't know better, just nod and smile, they'll get there eventually.

    There are a few things I dislike about the action. First off, the camera can be so far away from the action it's hard to see Bayonetta at all. There are lots of particle and swooshing effects that seriously compromise visibility. The Dark Strider fight was particularly frustrating; the boss is mostly black on a dark purple background, with all those swishy effects on top. Groan.

    I don't love the Demon Slave mechanic. Being able to control huge demons sounds cool, but they move much slower than Bayonetta, and I don't get to play that fast, twitchy action that I love. Against large enemies, regular attack seem to do so little damage it's almost mandatory to use demon attacks. Most fights involve large areas with at least one large enemy, so the most efficient tactic is to abuse demon attacks. I like the smaller fights with smaller enemies in restrained spaces, but these are a rare. Enemy design is alright, but maybe a bit weaker than previous entries.

    I didn't mind the story so much, but I did find the big bad's motivations to be kinda vague. I've watched all the cutscenes without skipping at least twice, and I still didn't know what the antagonists motivations are. The fact that a seemingly omniscient, multiverse destroying, infinite monster-producing factory's master plan actively works against itself is pretty dumb. There are also a few scenes that made me go "no, don't do that, that’s dumb don’t- you did it". The pacing in the last few chapters feels rushed which isn't too surprising for a Platinum Game (i.e. Vanquish, Astral Chain), but for those other games, I didn't feel quite as invested in the characters as I am with Bayonetta and her buddies, which probably explains the salty fandom.

    My biggest complaint though might be about Bayonetta herself. She is not nearly sassy enough. I want a Pure Platinum level of sass. Over 9000 sass. Not some mid-tier sober Barney Stinson sass. What I NEED is a RuPaul's Drag Race best cattiest compilation Youtube video from user bestCelebComdeyKlips2004 level of sass. Anything less feels lacking, and Bayonetta just doesn't ham it up enough for me this time around.

    So, is Bayonetta 3 worth your monies? I'd say, not all of your monies, but some of them for sure. It still has good action, but it’s also still average story-telling. It’s not any better or any worse than the previous entries.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bayonetta 3, La Bruja de Umbra! Regresa...
    Este nuevo videojuego de Bayonetta nos trae nuevamente a la icónica bruja que todos queremos y nos promete un hack & slash de las mejores de los últimos tiempos!.
    Me ha gustado mucho ver denuevo a nuestra bruja querida, la saga de Bayonetta es muy respetada, ver denuevo a los personajes como rodin, jeanne enzo, luka, fue un golpe a la nostalgia tenerlos a todos cerca, y también a la nueva personaje con su querido Chesire, que en el videojuego tiene su propia línea de tiempo y es muy divertido ver a viola, sus movimientos de ataque son nuevos(algo complejo sí), pero son muy buenos cuando les tomas el sentido, esa escena del desierto con chesire me gustó muchoa verdad, es como un respiro nuevo a la saga, Luka como siempre tan galán y misterioso, Jeanne que nos mostró lealtad aún apunto de morir siempre, dando su vida por nuestra querida amiga Bayonetta, Rodin, como siempre actuando sobre sus benficios, pero siempre dándonos una mano(Ojo, sin interponerse ante la trama del videojuego y desarrollo del personaje), y Enzo, el único humano que nos cae bien y que un cascarrabias en la serie, pero nos alegra escuchar su voz y reírnos con sus acciones.
    Las escenas en este videojuego, cinemáticas muy buenas, , las mecánicas del juego muy buenas, armas, nuevas versiones de ella misma, incluso podemos pelear a gran escala como si fuera godzilla que eso estuvo fenomenal 10/10 esas escenas de batalla, pelea, Bayonetta se nota que realizaron un buen trabajo puliendo los combates y dando sí o sí, ese renombre que se debe dar y que toma como posesión que este es un verdadero Hack & slash, vemos pelear por fin a Madam Butterfly incluso somos ella, y el intrañable Gomorrah, que aunque no quiera estar comiendo homunculos pues, lo forzamos a la fuerza y ahí vamos ajaja. El final de Bayonetta me encantó esa canción que rompió nuestro corazones al verla morir, viendo nuestro propio final que no queremos ver, ver como ella se despide de nosotros, dándonos ese baile majestuoso que solo ella sabe hacer junto esa canción triste, para el final solo convertirse en cristal y solo morir junto a Luka, ese sello que nos dio fue digno de un final, pero de igual forma quería ver un beso entre ellos, y es que Luka y Bayonetta, son tal para cual...
    Me encanto el videojuego, pero en toda la trama no me logro agradar por completo, con esta nueva entrega yo sentí que estaba jugando a otra Bayonetta, esta Bayonetta es otra persona, no es nuestra Bayonetta con quien nosotros crecimos jugando la 1 y la 2, que nos llenaba ese aire de pasión, risa, glamour, sofisticacion, gozo, como lo hacía Helena Taylor al hablar e interpretar a Cereza, la nueva actriz hizo un buen trabajo, pero lastimosamente no estuvo a la altura de Hellena, lo queramos o no, no podemos tapar el sol con un dedo, por que digo que no esta a la altura, es por el. Mismo juego, en esta entrega, Bayonetta no es Bayonetta es otra persona, Platinum Games, la cubrieron mucho el cuerpo, Bayonetta es libre, déjenla ser, ella se desnuda, ella actúa de forma sexy, ella es libre, es mujer, es sexy, es una mujer muy sexy, y ella lo demostró, ella demostró quien es cuando jugamos la 1 y la 2, y en esta última entrega no jugamos a la Bayonetta que nos enamoró, que me enamoró, yo siento que jugué con una Bayonetta más tranquila, más de casa, no con esa esencia que es de ella misma, Nintendo censuró mucho las opciones donde ella es una mujer muy sensual, como en la escena cuando invoca, en vez de mostrar su cuerpo con esos movimientos que caracterizan el juego, alejan la cámara para ver una pequeña desnudez, y al momento de hablar no es tan provocadora como lo hacía Hellena, esta nueva versión está censurada totalmente, siento que no jugué a Bayonetta, siento que jugamos a otro juego, por que Bayonetta calla al que le habla y el que le falta el respeto, demuestra quien es verdaderamente Bayonetta, quien es realmente la bruja de Umbra y aquí en el videojuego, vimos a una Bayonetta que no conocemos, mucho más Family Friendly por así decirlo, pero ella no tiene que ser así, ella es Bayonetta por tal cual es, no para agradar a toda tu familia..., perdimos su esencia en muchas escenas de este videojuego, Platinum Games hizo mal en no ofrecerle una mejor oferta a Hellena Taylor, por que estoy seguro que con su Voz y actuación perdonaríamos todo con tal de escucha la voz de la verdadera Bayonetta, perder a Helena hizo que la esencia de este personaje tan querido por nosotros no sea igual al jugar, solo por eso califico con 4 estrellas, ya que hay escenas muy extensas en el mapa también donde hay mucho espacio para jugar y es muy raro tener un mapa muy grande...

    il titolo è un più che valido titolo action, che offre davvero tantissime idee differenti, ma che messe tutte assieme risultano un po confusionarie.
    tante armi, tanti demoni evocabili e controllabili renderanno un po meno chiaro le azioni che possiamo fare.
    con l'aggiunta che quando evochiamo i vari demoni molto spesso occuperanno la maggior parte dello schermo non riuscendo a vedere i nemici, e quindi con il rischio di essere colpiti non per un nostro errore.
    per me che gioco per divertirmi poco importa, ma potrebbe essere una problematica per chi cerca i platini puri.
    questa complessità si aggiunge anche al fatto che nell'avventura avremo una compagna di viaggio che avrà un modo tutto suo di combattere.
    tra cui la parata da fare a tempo, che è su un altro tasto rispetto alla schivata di bayonetta. cosa che potrebbe confondere, anche perchè ha un tempismo differente che complica il tutto ulteriormente.
    in generale mi è sembrato che il titolo puntasse più sulla spettacolarità di certe situazioni e sul fatto di aggiungere tante meccaniche differenti ma che in uno stylish action non sempre risultano funzionali.
    non comprando i bayonetta per fare i punteggi maggiori, per me non è stato una grossa penalizzazione, però un po si è fatto sentire.

    The technical shortcomings are fairly major, and while it doesn't happen often, they DO intrude upon the gameplay experience more than they should; the story fumbles majorly towards the end.

    Issues and all, however, Bayonetta 3 is a spectacular game. If you’re a fan of the genre, this is a must play. If you’re a fan of the series, this is a must play. If you’re a fan of the kind of insane spectacle that the old God of War games had, but gave up with their modern entries, this is a must play. If you care at all about combat in video games, this is a must play. While it fumbles with the story, and frequently butts heads with its host system’s technical limitations, Bayonetta 3 is masterfully accomplished at all the things that matter, and all the things it needs to be great at. You’re doing yourself a disservice if you don’t check it out, warts and all.    … Expand

    This game is crazy, sexy, cool on acid! Bayonetta 3 hits all the right notes and easily one of the greatest action games of all time. She’s also a switch exclusive, hence all the salty fake reviews by Sony fanboys. Boo hoo, bitter you.

    Ever since I got Switch and played the first and second Bayonetta.

    It’s bayonuttin’ time! This game is legitimately great and all the people giving this 0s are either mad that this is a switch exclusive, or don’t like the ending which I didn’t mind cause I never cared about story in Bayonetta games. Easily the best gameplay, Jeanne’s stealth segments are legit really fun, and Viola is a lovingly dorky addition

    auténtica obra maestra, supera al 1 y 2 que son joyas, sin duda de los mejores juegos de switch. Ya el empezar es épico y el juego sigue yendo a más y no deja de sorprender. Bayonetta es arte y en esta entrega aún han ido un paso más, la banda sonora exquisita como de costumbre, sin duda debes jugarlo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. [[SPOILERS]] The fact that the Cereza of Bayo 3 hooks up with Luka irks me as much it probably does everyone else. Seeing the most powerful iteration of Bayo shack up with Mr. Silver Medal is heartbreaking. I get it.
    However, I don’t objectify Bayo as a sex symbol or an object to idolize, I see her for what she is: a nigh-omnipotent goddess who does not give one idle fook about your idealizations. Bayo does what BAYO wants, and if that includes making a baby with Tony Redgrave’s idiot son, then who am I to stop her? [[SPOILERS]]
    That aside, let’s talk about the game. While Bayo 2 got a lot of well-deserved praise, it was ultimately an iterative update to Bayo 1. Thus, Bayo 3 made sweeping, revolutionary changes while managing to keep the core gameplay intact.
    Instead of distinct hand and foot weapons, we have a bevy of unified weapons that serve as hand, foot, and ranged weapons in one package. This revised weapon system is key to Bayo 3’s new Demon Masquerade system, which replaces both Wicked Weaves and Bayo’s Animal Within mobility tools. Attacks and combos that formerly invoked Wicked Weaves now transform Bayo into a demon to perform devastating attacks. Double-tapping ZR will also transform Bayo into a demon, with distinct mobility tools based on your weapon, such as a moth form that can zip around and float, a fire-spider that can web-swing and walk on lava, etc. With expanded mobility come much larger maps to explore and tons of hidden collectibles, including keys to bonus stages that award anything from hearts and pearls to weapons and demons. There’s TONS of content between the combat.
    Bayo 3 has more weapons than any previous iteration, and I can’t express how unique they are. There’s a mic-stand that doubles as a multi-part spear that shoots poison and can buff you like a Hunting Horn. There are spiked doors used as shields, fist weapons, Gatling guns, and portal to the mechanical-pain-dimension. There’s a literal train engine that Bayo can either ride or swing like a club, which feels like Cavaliere on crack. They’re all super weird, inventive, and feel fantastic to use.
    Each weapon comes with a complimentary Demon that feels like an Astral Chain Legions amped to apocalyptic levels. Holding ZL will get Bayo dancing as she summons a Demon to take her place in battle. Demons are powerful, capable of staggering/launching everything but giant bosses. They can wipe out whole stages on their own, but abuse them and they can temporarily die or rampage, at which point they’ll attack everything, including you.
    Demons can also be used in combos and defense via Wink and Assault summons. At the end of combos or during some enemy attacks, you’ll see a brief flash on the screen. This indicates that you can press ZL to instantly summon your Demon and either inflict a unique combo finisher (Wink) or instantly counter and stagger your opponents (Assault). These flash summons all have unique positional, damage, and timing properties, so foresight and strategy can go a long way to maximizing their effectiveness.
    Much like the weapons, each Demon is remarkably unique, ranging from standbys like Gomorrah, to things so utterly insane that I’m dying not to spoil it. They all possess countless tactical uses and often defy the conventions of the genre (one such demon briefly turns the game into a semi-RTS). With the ability to switch between two weapons and three demons at any time, Bayo can wreak havoc in strange, creative, and stylish ways.
    Along with Bayo is Viola, a witch in training who is quite skilled with the only usable sword in the game, summons a familiar demon cat named Cheshire, and activates Witch Time by blocking, which makes her tricky to use. While Bayo can activate Witch Time while in motion and without touching an enemy, Viola needs to be stationary and make contact with attacks. This can lead to a lot of standing around and whiffing blocks, only to get nailed the instant you try to move, which is frustrating. But once you adapt to her playstyle (stay on the offensive, spam Cheshire, block only the obvious attacks), she can be devastating in her own right, though getting to that point might require more patience than detractors are willing to give.
    So the negatives: the game’s graphical demands turn your Switch into a nuclear reactor, so don’t expect constant 60 fps. Second, large enemies who block the camera often disappear completely, which gets ridiculous when you’re pinned against a wall and stomped to death by an invisible giant. Finally, the game introduces a new soft lock-on system that is unyieldingly aggressive: you ONLY swing in the direction of a soft-locked enemy, rather than the direction of your analog stick. This is made worse by a new hard lock-on system that doesn’t allow you to manually change targets, which makes nuanced target selection painful.
    Damn fine game though. Don't let the ending ruin an otherwise amazing experience.    … Expand

    Best Bayonetta game in the series easily thanks to the amazing story and gameplay. This game is a must-play for any switch owners and 100 percent worth the 60$ price tag. The game does suffer a lot from performance issues though.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved the gameplay - loved the possibilities with demon slave and many demons and weapons, many ways to customize the character and skill tree.

    i didnt like some parts of the story and the photo mode, for me photo mode need some updates because i see that it reduces the resolution of the scene , and when i get out of photo mode the scene is prettier,so maybe ,more ways to focus,more options ....

    i miss more angels and demons(enemies). Homunculi was good but..nothing can beat angels and demons from the previous ones.

    extra super extra:
    WHY I CAN´T SEE ANY PYRAMID IN Egypt section - oh my god it´s a missed oportunity hahahhaha..

    and Jeane...we need costumes for Jeane -that´s it.

    Just an excellent game. If you like old school run and gun, hack and slash, explosive and immersive action that doesn’t give you a second to breath, welcome to Bayonetta. I’m halfway through and I don’t want it to stop. This witch is the Queen from the crop, just saying.

    Pro
    + Fun gameplay
    + Easy to start/ hard to master combat
    + Fun characters (I didn't mind Viola and was getting used to her)
    + Story that hits you in the feels
    + Big areas that don't feel overwhelming

    Con
    - Story felt too rushed and open ended
    - The Graphics are being held back from the Switch (I was playing it with the Standard Switch in Docked mode)

    Bayonetta 3 excels in over-the-top madness. In the best possible way. But the story with wacky characters across parallel universes, is just the canvas for the real highlight of Bayonetta 3: the action. The titular witch's lightning-fast attacks are complemented her own magical powers, but you can now also temporarily take control of several enormous creatures, the "Demon Slaves”.

    Bayonetta is back and the long-awaited third game not only builds up on the excellent formula of games past, it goes one step forward and adds new protagonists, experiments with elements of other genres, improves on its plot structure, and allows all kinds of players to enjoy it, creating an experience that's both familiar and fresh, as well as accessible, thrilling, gorgeous, and enveloping. Bayonetta 3 is a fantastic addition to the Nintendo Switch catalogue and it deserves to be on everyone's collection.
