They smartly streamlined the weapon gaining process and getting the demon on screen is crazy leading to some insane potential, though it definitely is held back by the switch -mine is on fire. The game has insane bosses and variety in gameplay with over the top sequences, some control well others are eh, though that rhythm game fight is one of the best moments in this series. There is surprisingly great level design- its not just linear hallways it genuinely looks great in worlds and opens up puzzles and exploration in a good way for more. Viola is really fun to play and enjoyable and adds more to the game overall with variety and fun. The story is crazy and ill admit the ending is definitely going to be tough to swallow but it does not detract from the other 90% of the game being amazing. The ost is amazing as well as so much of the presentation having way more budget than previous games clearly just being held back by switch. Really a great time. Its finally here and its right on time.… Expand

    It's nice to jump and kill every living being, no matter the size. However, that's all. Jump and press two buttons to kill the bad guys. The characters are too cool for me, but I know that's part of the game.

    Easily the game of the year at me! An absulute mindblowing adrenalirush and a perfect sequel with good fan service and mind blowing combat and music! The story is forgatteble but that'a not the point in here. The combat is just an another level. And Bayonetta is best waifu

    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.

    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...
    También Bayonetta 2 tuvo. Mejores gráficos y aquí sacrificios gráficos por fps, se entiende...    … Expand

    I loves me some Bayonetta, but will Platinum keep their strong track record in tack with Bayonetta 3? Is the action good? 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

    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

The new game play it’s fantastic to me, it’s more challenging, there’s platforms, puzzles a little of exploring and also the new fight mode “demon slave” and the “DO OI EA BAYONETTA!”. There’s also a mini game very interesting! The story it’s well done, I cried as never before, the end was a struggle, I was like “yeah she’s gonna make it” and a second later I was “oh no she don’t” and again “YAAS BI SLAYY” and so on. At least I can say that Bayo3 it’s full of stuff and news, minigames and game mode (you also play as viola and Jeanne). It was a good game to break the standards that th first 2 games gave us, I mean if you think about it, bayo 1 and 2 are basically the same. The new graphic sucks anyway, I mean the bayo 2 cutscene were much more better. Hope that I can see her again in a new chapter, I really love this game and means a lot to me… and I don’t want to play as Viola… I mean.. she’s cute but she’s not Bayonetta.… Expand

    I'll try not to go too much into spoilers. Bayonetta 3 left me with a very sour taste at the end in terms of its story, not because of how a story must end, but because of its incoherence. If there's one element a story must have to be good, it's its plot, and that the cause-effect of said plot manifests itself as you progress through the game. And, while that cause-effect is usually seenI'll try not to go too much into spoilers. Bayonetta 3 left me with a very sour taste at the end in terms of its story, not because of how a story must end, but because of its incoherence. If there's one element a story must have to be good, it's its plot, and that the cause-effect of said plot manifests itself as you progress through the game. And, while that cause-effect is usually seen with the antagonist, it's not usually seen with what Bayonetta is or the people around her, and that detracts a lot from it. Let me explain, in Bayonetta 1, the game revolves around her identity, in Bayonetta 2, the game looks for continuation on the identity that Bayonetta has built and, features more introspective things that weren't seen in Bayonetta 1 regarding her personal life or the lives of her own. In Bayonetta 3, however, there is none of that, because the detracting factor in my opinion is the concept of the metaverse.

    The creator of Bayonetta said that players had to have played Bayonetta 1 and 2 to play Bayonetta 3 and, in part, he lied. I say partly because... yes, it is true that you have to play both games to know some references such as the angels or demons you face, or with whom you make a pact, but it is not so necessary for the story, because in itself, it’s quite unconnected, and unrelated to the 2 previous games (Bayonetta 1 and 2). Even in Bayonetta 2 something happens at the end with the villain, and what happens with the villain is not even continued in Bayonetta 3, and worse, it's not even mentioned in the game. As for the gameplay, it's SPECTACULAR, better than Bayonetta 1 and 2, it feels very satisfying; and I think they did great at that, they really outdid themselves. Fighting the demons you acquire as you progress is exquisite.

    Going back to the metaverse, I think this aspect of Bayonetta 3 is what ruins a little bit the lore of Bayonetta and its exquisite world; because I feel that the developers wanted to cover too much, but as a phrase says "do not bite off more than you can chew". So much so that, even acquiring new weapons, you don't have that many opportunities to practice with them, because you get many of those weapons at the end of the game; and you can't even empathize much with the characters you encounter, since they don't have much screen time. And that's basically what the metaverse proposes, finding yourself in various situations or characters that you don't have much opportunity to interact with or delve into, and part of that ruins the experience.

    Do I recommend the game? If you're looking for great gameplay, this is your game. Now, if you want to play it for its story (unless that's your main goal), then I leave it up to you. Personally I didn't like it much, because of the disconnections with the previous two games, and because of how much this Bayonetta 3 tries to cover.    … Expand

La nueva mecánica de la invocación de demonios esta francamente bien llevada, que es seguramente lo que a muchos podría generarles dudas.

    La exploración y los escenarios son también los mejores de la saga. En esta ocasión los versículos ocultos son más sencillos de encontrar (lo cual se agradece) pero siguen habiendo una enorme cantidad de coleccionables ocultos, algunos de los cuales no están tan accesibles. El juego consta de una gran cantidad de niveles secretos a encontrar o desbloquear también.

    La epicidad de los combates y de la historia es máxima aquí (aunque el giro de los últimos capítulos se ve venir a km), especialmente en ciertos momentos y jefes que resultan impresionantes. Todo para acabar con un final apoteósico, valiente y bien llevado.

    A nivel personal, mi favorito sigue siendo el primero, por la frescura que introdujo y su también genial historia; pero este Bayonnetta 3 coge todo los elementos de la saga y los eleva a su máximo exponente (desde luego es superior al 2).    … Expand

    Nintendo and Platinum Games created another great spin-off of the franchise with "Bayonetta 3" on the Nintendo Switch. The game's story can be convincing, but a bit confusing for newcomers to the series. It's just huge fun to take down the enemies with cool abilities and attacks. The small innovations also fit well into the complete gameplay.

    It's just still an overblown, entertainingly inappropriate, B-grade, sexist action ride that doesn't let anything tie it down or control it. [Issue#324]

    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.
