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.

Gameplay is often littered with too much minigames that feel boring and sluggish and cutscenes often just show off exciting combat that feels like something that would've been really fun. Resolution often dips to a very noticeable amount and save points are no longer per verse and feel randomly placed around the levels. Some minigames are great, like the Jeanne sections or that singing rhythm game one, but they often feel annoying. The story's twists are either obvious or don't make any sense with the pre-established characters.
    Pretty good combat but has a story that doesn't feel like they cared enough and feels more like someone's fanfiction. Get it on sale if you're interested, or if you're new just get either 1 or 2.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bout time this came out. I remember watching the reveal live in 2017 & losing my MIND in excitement.. the rest is history if you know Bayonetta 3’s development. This’ll be a loaded review so lemme just preface by saying, it’s a good game but doesn’t live up to the first 2 games.
    Positives first, The soundtrack is genuinely incredible. Best in the series BY A MILE. Bayonetta is still Bayonetta, still hilarious & campy even with her new voice (Hale is a legend in the industry for a reason!), the graphics are good for a Switch game too! There were multiple parts of the game where I forgot I was playing on a last gen potato, of course the framerate will jolt me right back to reality when that happens. I don’t think it’s as bad as some reviewers made it out to be, but there are some really noticeable frame drops here which is inexcusable in 2022 for a hectic action game like this. Notice how most new switch releases ALL have performance issues? Almost like there’s a pattern & we need a update.. Anyway, I have a lot I need to complain about.. I really did not care for the combat in Bayo 3 compared to the last 2. EVERY enemy felt like damage sponges to me. I played on each difficulty to see if it was just me or the modes, but it felt the same on each difficulty. Even the most basic enemies felt like they took 5 too many hits to kill compared to the angels & demons of the other games. It ended up making the game feel slower to play and not as enjoyable to me. The demon slave additions are fun but I wasn’t as obsessed with them as I thought I’d be, some were awkward to control too. The game also peaks VERY early. The first four chapters were some of the most fun I’ve had in an action game, but right after that the game took a nosedive and never recovered imo. That’s mostly due to the story & other additions it brought with it. First of all, I didn’t think this could be a detriment to any form of entertainment but there is WAY too much variety in these chapters. Almost every 5 minutes you’re doing something different, wether it be riding the back of a giant demon down a skyscraper or having a shootout on the back of a bird, these moments are a great spectacle & some are better than others. BUT. It makes replaying levels a pain in the ***. I just want to replay some levels as Bayonetta for some good hack & slash fun, but it honestly feels like there isn’t enough of it in this game. Which leads to my next point, the Jeanne levels. They’re a decent enough distraction, but that’s all they are. If they weren’t in the game I don’t think anybody would notice. What truly killed a chunk of this game for me was Viola’s levels. Viola as a character is ok, she doesn’t really add anything to the story or have any meaningful growth (that isn’t completely forced), but playing as her? I’d rather be castrated. I HATED every single time I was put in control of her. No matter what I tried I just could not adjust to playing as her after being used to Bayonetta for so many years, Viola’s block witch-time mechanic must be bugged because it hardly works no matter my timing, I’ve asked other Bayonetta fans about this & they’ve confirmed my suspicions. Hopefully they fix that but Viola is damn near unplayable & terrible. To FORCE themselves to call her Bayonetta is the biggest slap in the face after THAT ending. Also, why insult people that play on casual mode with those “clear badges” for every encounter instead of still giving them regular rankings like the last 2 games did on their easy modes? It’s not like this game is hard. I played on Standard & whenever I was in trouble I could just pause the game and heal in the menu. No risk of death at all. The story is just a mess. Like I said it started out AMAZING, but quickly devolved into convoluted nonsense that isn’t explained, or done so in stupid ways. Bayonetta games aren’t revered for their stories, but at least you could follow the first 2 stories without being annoyed or confused & that was enough for me to be invested in them. Last thing I want to touch on is Bayonetta & Luka, while yes it was touching to see her finally embrace Luka in a loving way, I didn’t think it would be in THAT way. I get these are different versions of the characters than what we're used to, but it still feels so weird. Especially if this is the same Cereza from the first game that Luka was taking care of.. groomer alert. And yes Bayonetta IS BI, I would prefer her with Jeanne like most people, but this is a multiverse story so not every version will be with Jeanne. It’s almost like everyone forgot the meaning of the word BISEXUAL as soon as the ending hit. But I dislike the ending for more reasons than just Big Nintendo probably vetoing a popular same sex relationship for one that doesn’t make much sense canonically. Overall, Bayonetta 3 is a decent game still, but one that thoroughly disappointed me more than almost any other game this year.    … Expand

    If you love this series and the stellar fast paced combat, skip this one and stick with Bayonetta 2. The story is very poorly done, basically the meta verse comes to Bayonetta. The big issue here is the clunky combat thanks to the poorly implemented demon controls. This could have been a fun addition, but instead it’s a slow, clunky, irresponsive mechanic that you wish wasn’t included.If you love this series and the stellar fast paced combat, skip this one and stick with Bayonetta 2.

Your favorite characters are here, but the story is so bad that they cannot make it shine. Graphically it’s worse than Bayonetta 2. Hopefully, if they make a Bayonetta 4 it will be on next Gen hardware and if we are stick with the demon control portions, they actually make those parts fun. Love my Switch but some titles need more powerful hardware and Bayonetta is suffering here.… Expand

    Gone is the fantastic art direction and rock solid 60fps frame rate.

    With few exceptions, gone is the great dialogue and character banter. Viola and Enzo being the only exceptions. Gone is the great combat system that allowed for nearly endless improv. Enemies have next to no hit stun. Hits don’t even feel like they connect.

    Gone is great enemy design. Gone is a normal mode that isn’t a miserable try-hard suckfest. Insanely tight timing windows are lame and nothing but padding to a game. Easy mode is an insult and a joke. Platinum Games has made it clear that they only want to cater to the hardcore, so I will no long support their products. I find hardcore gaming neither interesting or enjoyable.

    Gone is great enemy ai. Miserable campy/passive enemies. I don’t play online games because I hate this behavior. Nothing I consider fun about this enemy ai and same goes for human beings that play this way. They suck. Living or digital.

    Albeit bonkers, gone is a great story that embraces its time travel paradoxes.    … Expand

    I consider bayonetta2 in the top 3 of action games and unfortunately i am disappointed in many aspects of this sequel.
    Some things work like the summons, when you control the demons directly is a fun new mechanic that transforms many fights into a kaiju battle, the semi-demonic transformation of Bayonetta in various forms adds fun and platforming to the exploration phases and in general    I consider bayonetta2 in the top 3 of action games and unfortunately i am disappointed in many aspects of this sequel.

    pros:
    +Gameplay remains fun
    +the climax battles between kaiju
    +Good amount of content, even in the post game with good extra challenges

    Con:
    -Lack of real variety in the combo option
    -Story is a mess, the characters don't know what they're doing and the villain is without context and motivation.
    -Viola is terrible

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

    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...

    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

    Los diseños me han parecido peores, los monstruos también. No tiene el encanto del 1 y del 2, y el plot twist se ve a multiversos. Los controles no me han gustado, aunque tiene ideas buenísimas, como intentar acercarse a los "logros" de playstation cuando en Switch no existan, para rejugar los escenarios. Es todo muy loco, la verdad.

    Por otro lado, Viola no me parece tan carismática como Bayonetta, me gustaba su toque picantón pero supongo que hoy en día eso es tabú y es mejor cambiarlo. Me recuerda más a una protagonista de Life is Strange que a una Bayonetta.

    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.

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pretty dissapointing game overall. I have several hundred hours clocked in Bayo 1 and 2 and this game is really, really underwhelming compared to both. Story wise it's terrible, chosing to screw over the previous games established timelines to pull some multiverse thing which is executed quite terribly. Bayonetta herself is a much worse character too, lacking the confidence and witty of the previous entries, remaining silent through a bit portion of the game. The level design is also terrible for an action game, explained by the devs original idea of making this game open world, but dropped mid-development, resulting in extensivly open maps with absolutely nothing in them except collectibles.
    The only thing that is still great is the soundtrack. It is still phenomenal, just as the previous entries.
    Of course, all the problems could be excused if the gameplay held up, but unfortunately, it doesn't. The iconic double weapon setup is no longer there, so Bayo doesn't equip guns to her hand and feet, so you can't mix and match anymore. The demon slave mechanic, altough impressive, is not very good. It slows down gameplay and makes everything very damage-spongy so you are forced to use it. There is also the character of Viola, which is much worse gameplay wise than Bayonetta. Her parry system is also quite bad when compared to other games of the genre like MGR:Revengeance.
    It's also worth noting that the game lacks any real bossfights, except the final one. All the other ones are gimmicky and while fun, this really shouldn't have been the focus.
    What's worse, they seem to be going in the direction of making Viola the new protagonist of future titles. While I did like her, I really don't see the point in this and the character really did nothing during the entire story to receive such praise.
    In the end, I felt quite sad after playing this game and all it did was highlight just how good the previous two ones really are. I hope that if the series continue they take a step back of the whole spectacle thing they had with this game and put substance first, over style.    … Expand

    Or simply with the useless choiche of making Viola time shift with the small button R instead of ZR.

    I'm new to Bayonetta, so this review is from the perspective of a player who has never played Bayonetta before, I have put probably 8-10hrs into the game now though so have a feel of the fundamentals. I'd strongly encourage anyone reading this read it fully because there is more than meets the eye here.

I'd strongly encourage anyone reading this read it fully because there is more than meets the eye here.

    Combat Mechanics:

    1. Combat is both the worst and best thing about B3, the animations are fluid but execution is about as modern as Tekken 1 on PSX. You have a huge move list for each weapon (too huge, and combined is rather overwhelming) with combos to memorise but there is zero ability to invent your own combos with the provided moves, memorising set-in-stone button combinations in order to pull off something is not fun and feels archaic, Tekken 3 23 years ago broke this mold successfully, yes, it was archaic back then, let alone almost a quarter of a century later. This rigidity will relegate most players to simple punch, kick, or gun moves and your enjoyment will be severely impacted because of it.

    2. Dodging in the game is awful, Bayonetta is nowhere near agile enough for the frantic pace of combat. I'm no stranger to games like this being accustomed to other games like DMC and Tekken to be perfectly frank dodging/blocking mechanics feels like a Tekken 1 alpha experiment.

    3. Bayo 3 does an extremely poor job of letting you get a feel for the controls the game throws you into several large bombastic battles in a row starting you off at 1000 miles an hour, if you have never played a DMC or Tekken title you're going to have a very rough start. Compounding this hectic, jarring start is the fact that just as you might be getting some basic momentum in battle - in the middle of the fight - the game throws up text boxes completely destroying any rudimentary momentum you might have been getting increasing learning curve difficulty, this happens several times at various points, too.

    4. There are a lot of cut scenes during and between combat at the start, during the boss fights, constantly wrestling control away from you in the middle of a fight is DO NOT DO 101 stuff.

    5. During loading you can hit a button and practice moves against thin air, this in itself is fine, however during this "training mode" is also where probably one of the most irritating things about the game occurs, you have a combo menu that displays all of Bayonetta's moves for the equipped weapon but while you might be trying to learn one particular move the list will automatically scroll to a button combination the game "thinks" you are trying to do meaning you're always going to be losing sight of the more complex combinations you are practicing. This is also where you will encounter your first bug in the game, you can't manually scroll the combo list even though you are very clearly meant to be able to.

    6. Where the hell is hit stun?

    Controls:

    Combat controls are not great, holding the ZL button will allow you to summon the currently equipped demon, that's cool, what's not cool is that you HAVE to keep holding the ZL button down while trying to control your demon, why the hell is the ZL button not a toggle? Worst of all is that there are 4 control layouts but NONE of them are customisable so you can't set your own control scheme.

    Story:

    This actually is quite solid from what I've (kindo of) worked out of it so far, what really let's it down though is that while the game offers a recap from Bayo 1 and 2 (I assume for new players) it is essentially LOCKED from new players requiring 1000.. rings?.. to purchase from the "Gates of Hell" shop meaning all new players are going to be stumbling around in the dark in terms of story plot, twists, and turns as well.

    Graphics/Performance:

    Graphics I don't find anything overly jarring however there is extremely heavy use of dithering which looks horrifically ugly, a lot of textures are also low resolution and muddy. I'm an old fashioned type of gamer and always have prioritised gameplay over graphics but when you have serious gameplay issues AND graphics that aren't all that stellar you've got serious problems.

    I have no doubt the reason for the heavy use of dithering and low resolution textures in B3 is all in aid of trying to hit 60FPS but the reality is frame rate is a mess in B3, even with Patch 1.2, and the devs absolutely should release another patch locking frame rate to 30FPS and use the performance headroom to improve docked resolution much closer to 1080p rather than what it is, which is 800p or so I'd say.

    How was it once put by Gavin Archer from Mass Effect 2? "Man's reach exceeding his grasp..." is very apt here.

    There's a good game in this mess, but Platinum REALLY need to address at least the majority of issues mentioned to get Bayonetta 3 to the level it deserves. I do have Bayonetta 1 and 2 on the way so that should tell you I don't consider Bayonetta 3 bad, it just has a massive amount of technical and gameplay issues.    … 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

    Bayonetta 3 is easily the best in the series for its integration of a story that takes the series full circle and an improved gameplay formula with a weapons roster that makes combat as addicting as ever. While the game has received polarized reception by longtime fans of the series, as a fan of five years I would say that Bayonetta 3 was extraordinary and most definitely worth the wait.Bayonetta 3 is easily the best in the series for its integration of a story that takes the series full circle and an improved gameplay formula with a weapons roster that makes combat as addicting as ever.

    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

    Les interventions des démons sont impressionnantes c'est vrai, mais c'est au prix d'une visibilité parfois catastrophique et d'une caméra complètement à l'ouest, en plus de tirer le rendu général vers le bas au point d'avoir parfois droit à une vraie bouillie de pixels.

    Le sentiment de puissance lorsqu'on sort nos gros monstres est fantastique, mais on tourne très vote en rond et on se retrouve à regretter le gameplay plus terre à terre où on contrôle simplement Bayonetta. On perd vraiment en technique et en profondeur en plus de ne pas toujours comprendre ce qui se passe à l'écran.

    Là où le jeu m'a vraiment frustré, c'est dans ses milliards de phases "gimmick". On dirait que les devs avaient peur qu'on s'ennuie avec le gameplay de combat, du coup toutes les 5 minutes on a des changements de phases genre shmup, kaiju, rythme etc. Ce n'est pas forcément un mal en soi, mais c'est extrêmement mal géré. J'avais parfois l'impression que le jeu voulait absolument m'empêcher de jouer Bayonetta, c'est quand même le comble.

    Je ne vais pas m'étendre sur le scénario (et encore moins sur la fin...) sous peine de m'énerver. Je dirais juste que je trouve le délire du multivers vraiment inutile, mal écrit et surtout, j'en ai marre de ce prétexte pour raconter tout et n'importe quoi sans se prendre la tête.

    Niveau structure et level design, je trouve qu'il y a des choses intéressantes mais jamais poussées assez loin, notamment dans l'utilisation des différentes formes démoniaques pour l'exploration.

    J'avais vraiment envie d'aimer ce jeu (je suis un énorme fan des deux premiers épisodes, en particulier du 1) mais je ne m'y suis pas du tout retrouvé et plus j'avançais plus le jeu me sortais par les trous de nez. Vu la direction que prend la saga, je pense que je vais simplement passer mon chemin l'avenir tout en lui souhaitant le meilleur malgré tout.    … Expand

    The story is abysmal. It makes no sense in terms of the universe the past two Bayonetta games set up. Where in the first two games, the story was an integral part of the gaming experience, you can tell the story was an afterthought and is only there to set up a bunch of gimmicky fights.

    Every five minutes they have you doing some weird mini game. No joke, at one point I had to play a version of rock-paper-scissors. I loved the fight mechanics in the first two games, but just like the story, game-play refinement took a backseat to gimmicky action scenes. Instead of quality story writing, we get big explosions and Kaiju.

    While I think the music is fine and there were no bugs or glitches that I encountered, the game design itself is subpar. All the levels feel empty and soulless. You will see land in the distance, thinking you can jump there, just to have the game force you back to where you were and penalize you by damaging you. You get penalized in this game for trying to explore. The the scale of enemies and the camera rotation will get you damaged if not outright killed now and again – it is not terrible but frustrating. I never had this problem in the first two games. And I have to say, the English voice acting for a new girl in the game is horrible! I had to mention her because it is the first thing you hear in the game and throughout. It's like nails on a chalk board. Gimmicky fights, cheap deaths, poor level design, bad voice acting (except from the main cast, their still good), and a dreadful story.

    I was so excited for a new Bayonetta game but instead it feels like I am playing a bad action movie with a paper-thin plot. It's all about explosions and giant monsters with this game. I don’t know what happened behind the scenes to make them choose this direction for Bayonetta, but whoever was in charge, I really hope they have been let go and are no longer working with the company. This is barely Bayonetta.

    This is a sad day as I cannot recommend Bayonetta 3. Skip this game; don’t end up depressed, let down, and out $60, like I am.    … Expand

On top of weapons, you have your Summons so thats a whole nother layer on top of weapons and they stack pretty well since you can get an accessory that lets those fight while you do your thing.

    Weapons and their combo's are the best part of this game. You can change it up pretty good and get some crazy stuff out of them. The only sad part is you can have only 2 weapons equipped at a time, if you could only have one more equipped to really change it up that would be fire.

    The game has challenges, it has alternative levels for every level. It has alternative characters you can play as once you beat the game and throughout. It has an awesome style and just sick specials.

    The story again is not great, and I kind of skipped through it because I lost interest. It was just not well thought out and kinda sloppy. Multiverse stuff is boring now and its just an easy way to make a story. No respect there.

O jogo é bonito, e em todo momento que você joga com a Bayonetta é um jogo excelente mas a situação muda quando é forçado a jogar com os demais personagens. A jogabilidade dos demônios durante a fase de exploração (quando tem que jogar com o demônio aranha ou o trem por exemplo) parece quebrada, há muitas coisas grandes na tela e elas se sobrepoem dificultando a visão.

    A side quest da Jeanne é fraca, parece sem sentido e parece que deveria ser algo opcional e não obrigatório. O pior está por vir quando chegam os momentos em que Viola deve ser controlada. A sensação é de punição, o gameplay é difícil e desinteressante mas ainda pior que o gameplay da Viola é sua personalidade rasa e senso de humor de filmes trash dos anos 90. Diferente de Bayonetta onde você é cativado pela presença da personagem, com Viola a sensação é oposta, de querer jogar rapido apenas para passar daquela parte.

    A história é de fato a pior parte, a sensação que fica é que com exceção dos momentos de Bayonetta, este jogo teve todas as decisões erradas possíveis tomadas.

    Conocí al personaje de Bayonetta allá por el año 2016, cuando entró en Smash Bros 4.

    Entonces, empecé a interesarme por el personaje, he jugado sus juegos mil veces hasta el día de hoy. Vengo a exponer de manera objetiva e insesgada mi opinión de lo que es el juego. La nota que se verá reflejada la pondré cuando termine la review. Pasaré a exponer punto por punto: - Actriz de voz,    Conocí al personaje de Bayonetta allá por el año 2016, cuando entró en Smash Bros 4.

    Entonces, empecé a interesarme por el personaje, he jugado sus juegos mil veces hasta el día de hoy. Vengo a exponer de manera objetiva e insesgada mi opinión de lo que es el juego. La nota que se verá reflejada la pondré cuando termine la review.

    Pasaré a exponer punto por punto:

    - Actriz de voz, Jennifer Hale:
    Hubo una polémica en este apartado.
    La anterior actriz de voz dio unos motivos de porque no participaría en esta saga, que le pagaban poco básicamente, y pidió boicot de la comunidad al juego. Conforme pasó el tiempo ella misma admitió, básicamente (aquí hay límites de caracteres) que mintió descaradamente.

    La comunidad se volcó en su contra, esta historia es importante saberla, ahora pasemos al juego en sí.

    La nueva actriz de voz tiene una voz idéntica, clavada, igualita la anterior, prácticamente es la misma voz. Sin embargo es muy distinto, el tono, el timbre de la voz, y eso se nota si has jugado mucho bayo 1 y 2, sobre todo en escenas de bayo 3 que parece otro personaje por un tono de voz que no tiene nada que ver con lo que ha sido históricamente el personaje de Bayonetta, mucho mucho menos "badass".

    - Apartado gráfico y diseño de niveles:
    Cualquier persona que haya jugado recientemente a bayonetta 2 y pasó a jugar bayonetta 3 ha notado un cambio artístico notable. Este cambio no ha estado exento de polémica, pues hay quien piensa que es un paso atrás mientras que a otros no les desagrada este nuevo apartado.

    Hay una cosa que es cierta, sin este cambio gráfico, probablemente, no podríamos haber disfrutado de zonas y diseños de niveles mas amplios respecto a los juegos anteriores. ¿Era necesario niveles con zonas mas grandes? Juzguen ustedes mismos, yo creo que no.

    El apartado gráfico, objetivamente, se ha visto mermado sobre todo en comparación con la anterior entrega, Bayonetta 2 y es fácil comprobarlo, solo una búsqueda en YouTube te dejará ver una caída en los detalles, detalles que al final, dan una notable mejor sensación de mejor acabado en su conjunto.

    - Combate y mecánicas:
    Sin duda, esta es la mayor mejora que ha tenido el juego. Pasamos a tener nuevas armas, nuevos combos, nuevos demonios y nuevas mecánicas. Sin embargo un paso atrás dado es que a diferencia de los juegos anteriores, no podemos alternar de armas entre bazo y pierna. Esto tiene un sentido ya que le han dado "personalidad" a las armas, aún así creo que se podría haber hecho sin temor a perder esta cualidad.

    Lo mejor de todo es la introducción del Demonio Esclavo. En Bayonetta 1 los demonios salían sólo para el climax, en el 2 con el Infinite Climax y el Climax, aquí puede salir cuando tu quieras en el combate, dando muchas posibilidades y alteraciones positivas en el mismo.

    -Historia:
    La historia me produce una extraña sensación, la sensación de una idea prometedora, interesante y en parte, continuista para la saga. Pero ha sido todo lo contrario, es una historia que, pese a tener cabida perfectamente en el universo de bayonetta no me parece la mejor ejecución. Hay momentos, escenas, espectaculares y únicas que hasta me pusieron los pelos de punta, sin embargo hay otras que son dignas de olvidar, y esto pasa sobre todo al final.

    Hay una frase que definiría una parte importante de mi indignación con este juego:"Yo pensé que compré bayonetta 3".Esta frase viene referida a que gran parte del juego no jugaremos con la protagonista. Algo que en algunos juegos, como en The last of Us es algo sorprendente y emocionante, en bayonetta 3 se sobreexplota de tal manera que ya no se si estoy jugando a bayonetta 3 o a otro juego. Mini juegos muy recurrentes para seguir la historia, innecesarios en mi opinión, a lo mejor no quiero jugar taaaanto a eso, a lo mejor lo que quiero es hacer combos.

    También, la obligación de usar a X personaje para este capítulo. Me parece perfecto que este personaje sea relevante y recomiendes jugarlo con él pues de ese va el capítulo, pero dame la opción de usar a la protagonista principal en batallas, a lo mejor no me gusta jugar con el otro personaje por sus mecánicas. En juegos como Bayonetta 1 y 2, en determinadas partes usabas a otro personaje, pero de manera aislada y casual, dando así el efecto wow de controlar a otro personaje a parte del principal. Aquí todo eso se desmorona. Pero no todo es un desastre, como he dicho hay escenas, que son muy alucinantes y que si le hubieran prestado mas atención en vez de hacer constantemente el efecto wow en todo, la historia hubiera transcurrido mucho mejor.

    También la introducción de nuevos personajes y habilidades a otros mas antiguos que no acabo de entender que pintan ahí después de dos juegos donde no se sospechaba nada, pero bueno, el problema sigue siendo el mismo, la idea buena. La ejecución, sin duda, no fue la mejor.

Also, witch time is difficult to activate, and even if you do, if your parry wasn't frame perfect, then the witch time lasts for less than 1 second. I don't have a problem with her character design in general but with her gameplay.

    Also, the game is harder than other Bayonetta's which ruins the point of hack and slash a little bit, and I didn't like the weapons that much as the last game. Performance isn't that good neither. However, getting to the good parts, the combat is perfect like every other game, and the new features like Demon's control make it more interesting in some cases. Harder to learn though. The character designs are vastly improved as well, and the new story - concept is the best in the series.

    Impressive ending for an impressive trilogy. Almost every 5 minutes the game pulled my jaw to the floor.

For a switch title, given the huge size of the maps, I think the graphics do a very good job.

    About the ending that some people dislike, I thought was pretty cool. At no point was stated that Bayonetta was lesbian and not every strong female character needs to be lesbian. That being said, I was fooled too, it was a bit of a surprise for me to see the ending, but one thing I'll say: (SPOILERS AHEAD) If there is a character with a deep and complex relationship that has evolved over time with Bayonetta, that's Luka. I think those two being together makes much more sense than putting Bayonetta with her Umbra sister. All this controversy reminds me of the time people cried because Frodo and Sam (Lord of the rings) were "obviously gay". Gay people is absolutely amazing but quite often a very strong friendship can bloom between two men or two women, with nothing else.

    I feel that today everybody really NEEDS to add sex to any friendship to make it "better" but in reality, and in stories, that's not a requirement.    … Expand

La trama parece preparada para una salida de un Bayonetta 4 en el futuro en switch o en su sucesora.

    I know some people have reservations about the story, but as someone who isnt bothered by the story at all, I honestly think this game is the best entry so far.

Story isnt even why I play Stylish Action Games anyways, so yeah. I mean, dont get me wrong, I'm attached to the characters, I do love them, but I dont really care what happens to them in the story tbh. I just like hearing them talk, and do **** in cutscenes, and be flirty and wacky. Lol But that's just me.

    Anyways, everything else lived up to my expectations, the combat is far more exceptional than ever, we got so many new weapons, and skills that are all fun to use, Demon Slave is cool to experiment with, and is a pleasant new mechanic, the music is sick af, the movement felt fluid, and most of the enemies were fun to fight. There were some stinkers with the enemies, but overall I enjoyed fighting them.

    I'm still getting the hang of Viola tho. Shes tricky to play with, but satisfying to use once I start getting into her flow. Block offset is fun as hell to pull off when I can do it consistently. I still prefer Bayo tho.

    The level design tho can be very annoying when trying to find all the secrets and collectables, because everything is so open, and big, but I also like it at the same time because it's such a joy to run, fly, and swing around all these open spaces swiftly while in Demon Masquerade. The traversing in this game is surprisingly enjoyable. If Platinum made a platformer game with this type of swift traversing I would play it in a heartbeat ngl.

    Also, I know some people also have reservations about the arcade-y/mini-game sections, like the Jeanne chapters, the Kaiju fights etc, etc, but as a PlatinumGames fan, I was actually looking forward to them. Lol
    Whenever I play a PlatinumGames game I always go into it with the mindset of "get ready to play some wacky arcade **** and I **** love them.
    They're so damn goofy, and silly, and just pure arcade fun. They also serve as a nice palette cleanser from all the constant frantic action, at least for me.
    These mini-games were also actually enjoyable, unlike the bike section that goes on for way too long, the grating Angel Attack sections after you complete any chapter, and the nauseating Space Harrier section in Bayo 1.
    I dont remember any mini-games in Bayo 2 other than the horse-riding section(which is literally just the bike section from 1 but you can now attack better)or the not nauseating, but more boring, Space Harrier section. So yeah, I actually really enjoy the mini-games, and stages in Bayo 3. Lol However I, totally understand why people dont like them, especially the Kaiju fights, because they can be pretty slow.

    But yeah, those are my thoughts on Bayo 3, and why I think it's the best entry.
    Currently on my second playthrough, and enjoying every minute of it. 9/10
    Also, play this game a second time once you beat it once. Once you have all the weapons and collectables the opens levels are a breeze to get through. Also, the minigames are over super quickly, and you can skip the Jeanne levels if you want.

    I do wish it looked better tho, and had a consistent frame rate. Shame that its chained to such weak hardware on the Switch.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Games are comprised of many core factors, but the three most important are definitely:

    1. Gameplay
    2. Story
    3. Art style

    And when your game’s story spits in the face of longtime fans AND is ugly too…? I don’t think good gameplay can salvage it.

    Bayonetta 3 was a game I’d been looking forward to since its initial reveal in 2017. And quite frankly, I wish I could get my time wasted back. To wait for four years, only to get a story that’s a jumbled mess (ex: Killing off Cereza, tying her down to Luka despite the lack of chemistry, the whole mess with the Bayonetta 1 & 2 universe(s?) ), and to get a game that is visually a step down from AN XBOX 360 GAME… It’s simply pathetic from PG. They should be ashamed, honestly.

    Good gameplay cannot save this game.    … Expand

    I can't begin to state my disappointment in this game. Nothing felt right from the battle system to how the combos worked. This feels like a massive step back from 2. I really didn't enjoy the new gimmick in this entry. The story was also super weak. I did enjoy Viola as a character thought, I hope this is just a misstep in the future of this franchise.

    It's a good game, just not a great game like Bayo 1 and Bayo 2. There's alot done right, and alot done wrong. Story being the worst, while combat reimagining being best.

    Since the 8bits era, the main goal of every game is being entertaining and addictive. Bayonetta does it all and adds adrenaline, good graphics, 60FPS gameplay, a little bit of exploration and searching items, excellent music and humor, It's a 10 action game.

    Bayonetta is unfortunately a series descending in quality, with 1 being the best and this one BY FAR the worst. It's mainly due in part of a very boring and unoriginal "multiverse" story, some bad framerate and camera issues, as well as some very infuriatingly bad level design. Combat-wise, it's still a decent action game, and Jennifer Hale does her part of the new main voice well enough.Bayonetta is unfortunately a series descending in quality, with 1 being the best and this one BY FAR the worst.

I do like most of the inferno demon summons that add even more and variety and spice to the combat, but there are times where it's just a cool gimmick that doesn't stick the landing. In between all the story and verses are these drawn out, open-ended areas that serve you nothing but frustrating trial-and-error platform challenges that very often they go feeling unrewarded.

    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.
