    Stylish action, colorful attacks, various summoners
    The flashy progression was good.

    Most ambitious Platinium Games release, yet! Bayonetta 3 improves on its over the top gameplay with impressive, chaotic set pieces and the coolest mechanic demon slave. All packaged in a dancing sensation.

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

    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

Fighting as the demons really mixes up the game play and is crazy epic. You also switch between bayonetta and viola who both play pretty different. The skill trees are deeper then every before and the weapons all feel very different from one another. IFor me this is the best bayonetta game of the trilogy.

I heard all this talk about performance issues before I played it and I literally never noticed a single issue. Overall I think this game is a bit easier then the previous two, but I only played on the normal difficult so you certainly can make it harder if that's what you prefer.

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

Bayonetta is more customizable than ever: players can change her color pallet on each unlockable skin including the base skin, all of the new weapons are an absolute blast to play, new demons can be unlocked and controlled through the demon slave mechanic and multiple demons can be equipped and cycled through regardless of which weapon Bayo is using, the new masquerade forms are not only very well designed but help a ton when traversing the much larger maps in this game, and skill trees have replaced simply purchasing new techniques and is attached to not only Bayo herself but there's also a skill tree for each weapon and the demon associated with that weapon. 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

    There wasn't much more to do after we fought heaven, hell, and chaos, but there is an amazing space to explore what I feel to be a very contemporary version of the beloved witch.

    Some times the game can get a bit out of track, and some ideas aren't explored in the best way, however, they always feel epic, and most new things got at least a chuckle out of me, while the best ones got me screaming with excitement and joy while playing them. 

    It has been a long time since a game made me feel such honest delight as I played with yo-yos, danced, sang songs, and fought godzilla-style battles in beautiful, picture-perfect scenery.

    Overall, it was pure, honest fun.

    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”.
