    El mejor gameplay de todos los hacks and slash que he jugado, tiene muchisimo contenido rejugable, banda sonora que no decepciona y todo el sistema de combate es muy pulido y fluido, para mi el mejor de la saga por el sistema de combate. Con una historia que amplia mucho todo el universo de bayonetta

It's bloated and feels like it drags on way too long.

    Bayonetta 3 is worth playing through and it's still fun and engaging just nowhere near much as it was in the previous two games.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nos ncontramos con espacios más abiertos que no tienen ninguna utilidad más que para recolectar recursos y algunos extras desbloqueables como colores de trajes. Tedioso. Muy mal implementado.
    Horrible dirección artística en general. Nuevos enemigos poco inspirados. Texturas que dan dan pena y que por momentos me hacía recordar a Nier Autómata (supongo que utilizan el mismo mediocre motor gráfico), pero al menos al juego de Yoko Taro se apoyaba en su interesante historia.
    Da prioridad a los 60fps (salvo en cinemáticas) pero nunca logra mantenerlos.
    Baja resolución en portátil.
    El plataformeo con Jeanne es patético, tosco, algo rarísimo viniendo de Platinum.
    Pésima dirección de cinemáticas en varias escenas de acción, que no dejan apreciar bien lo que que está sucediendo.
    La historia y su narrativa es patética, algo que ya comenzaba a flojear en Bayonetta 2 pero aquí toca fondo. Muy pero muy lejos de lo bien planteado que estaba Bayonetta 1.
    El personaje de Viola es nefasto, no aporta absolutamente nada, lo mismo que la nueva Bayonetta de este "universo", porque no es la misma, porque platinum decide autocensurarse y destrozar al personaje del juego que lleva su nombre, lo que es bastante triste y ridículo al mismo tiempo.
    Y aquí digo lo que la prensa y los youtubers nunca van a decir: Bayonetta 3 está autocensurado. Desde la propia sensualidad de la protagonista, su carácter, su personalidad, el atuendo principal, los trajes alternativos, la invocación de demonios, bailes, escenas con poses sexys. Todo, absolutamente todo tiene un manto de censura tan obvio que da un poco de asco. Y el que tenga alguna duda de esto, tan fácil como rejugar a los anteriores y compararlos.
    Kamiya con esta tercera entrega, da el primer paso para convertir la saga en family friendly, cargándose con ello la personalidad de Cereza. Hubiera sido más honesto crear una nueva ip dirigida a los niños o al gran público, y no ensuciar el nombre de Bayonetta.
    El presente de la saga es malo, y el futuro pinta aún más oscuro. El que tenga el primer Bayonetta en su casa, guárdelo como un tesoro, ya no los hacen como ese.    … Expand

    Ils ont dit **** à la continuité. Ils ont complétement dénaturé le personnage qu'on a découvert dans le 1 et qu'on a adoré dans le 2. Et le personnage Jeanne est devenue la caution drama. Ils nous ont le coup dans le 2 alors dans celui-ci, elle ne sert quasiment qu'à ça. C'est l'une des pires fins que j'ai été amené à voir.
    Mis à part le scénario pendu par le GROS cerveau de Kamiya, le jeu est bof, moins nerveux que ces prédécesseurs, moins punchy également. Tout est flottant, les ennemies, les combos, les nouvelles mécaniques de jeu. Le nouveau personnage de Viola est... Meh. Si elle était introduite à travers un scénario moins cliché animé elle m'aurait beaucoup plus marqué.

    The meh!
    The thing about Bayonetta commanding his beast is reminiscent of Katy Perry at the Super Bowl on a giant Zord-like metal lion. In previous Bayonetta games, costumes associated with weapons were used that made Bayonetta look different (samurai, Chinese doll, ice skater...) without stretching the tired cliché of the multiverses. Games like Bayonetta 1 or Transformer Devastation teach as if confrontations with giant bosses should be done, in this game those resources are not used and they move the camera away making the characters tiny    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is missing a lot compared to previous entries. The combat is not as fluid as before and feels very nerfed. I always felt that the damage being done, even fully upgraded was insignificant. Viola didn’t play well at all. Her toolkit felt clunky and rushed. Only at the end when I got to play as Bayo 1 for a short time did the controls feel correct again. It might have been just me, but there were sections of the game where the tutorial blurbs on screen were very minimalistic to the point that when an action was required of me I had absolutely no idea what I had to do and had to figure it out through button mashing.
    This game introduced a lot of new mechanics/concepts that had never been part of the bayonetta series and they didn’t feel like they fit. Jeanne’s side story felt like a janky metal gear solid-esque clone. The gigantic demon parts felt like I was playing gundam. There was even a short rythym section. There were way too many railshooter sections compared to previous instalments. This was a game of extras and not a lot of the real beat-em up bayonetta we’re used to and love. The fact that we had to click the left joystick to be given a waypoints because of the new open world map style, it differed so much from previous instalments and was really weird. I get it that games need to innovate, but there’s a big difference between innovation and just slapping random elements together and calling it good. If I wanted to play different genres of games like metal gear, I would be playing that, not the hack and slash that Bayonetta is known for.
    The story in itself, is not good. We’ve come to love Bayonetta as this heroine who takes no crap from anyone and is the master of her own fate. In this instalment she can’t function without the help of others. She can’t progress the story without Luka. Everything that makes her strong and unique is stripped away. I played this game because I love the series. I’m so disappointed that this is what we got. It feels like Platinum really should go back to the roots of the series they plan on making 4.    … Expand

    A game with great potential ultimately brought down by weird design choices. First off, the prologue is very well done and the combat is as great as ever. Weapons are all fun to use while still playing differently and the new demon puppet gimmick is also pretty fun if used correctly. Speaking of, that really seems to be the thing for this game: gimmicks. Bayonetta 3 is basically the ProzDA game with great potential ultimately brought down by weird design choices.

Weapons are all fun to use while still playing differently and the new demon puppet gimmick is also pretty fun if used correctly. Speaking of, that really seems to be the thing for this game: gimmicks. Bayonetta 3 is basically the ProzD skit about too many game mechanics. Boss battles completely lack the fun and creativity of the first game (it doesn’t help that the enemy design is completely boring and forgettable). A whole chapter dedicated solely to a massive multi phase boss battle? Nah, those days are gone. Here’s a standard enemy with a bigger HP bar and some mini game at the end. Rock-paper-scissors, holding a target over the enemy or spamming a single button until the enemy is gone. None of those are actually fun. Neither are the 2D levels as Jeanne, but at least those are short. However, by far the worst gimmick is Viola.
    Where do I even start? Viola is probably the worst playable character I have seen in many years. Imagine 2013 DmC Donte except ten times worse. She looks like a clown, acts like a clown and plays like the Walmart version of Raiden from MGR. Even her voice acting performance is pretty lackluster (apparently she’s voiced by some influencer in the English dub, which kinda figures). Being forced to play as her feels like some form of punishment for enjoying the Bayonetta levels too much. Her gameplay lacks the variety that Bayo has, she feels stiff and awkward and her counter move is really weird to pull of. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Not that it actually matters because you can’t use it anyway when you summon Cheshire, which is what you need to do if you actually want to do some damage. Then there is also the smart decision to have the block button also do a homing-in-move, in other words if you are unlucky instead of blocking you are diving right into the enemy attack. Great design choice. Even her role in the story is completely irrelevant. All she does is telling Bayo and Jeanne what to do at the beginning and that’s about it. You could write her completely out of the story and nothing would change, in fact it would only improve things. It’s obvious that PG didn’t really put too much thought into her and her sole purpose is to attract the western Gen-Z audience that majors in gender studies and gets offended over everything. The questionable naïve angel mode is just further proof of that. That kind of westernization of Japanese games was very common in the PS360 days and killed many beloved franchises (Ninja Gaiden, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil to only name a few). Bayonetta didn’t fall quite as hard as those; you can still have fun if the game lets you. However, this is the first game in the franchise where I’m not trying to go for completion and it’s also the first time I’m not looking forward to a potential sequel, especially after that terrible, terrible ending.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A mediocre action game at best without the charm of the first two Bayonetta games. Platinum wanted to reinvent the wheel when all the wheel needed was a few improvements. They also developed a Switch exclusive the scope of which (at least in theory) far surpasses the capabilities of this really dated hardware.

    This is the first game that actually made me want to post a review on Metacritic because the overall positive reception of Bayonetta 3 really baffles me and I think it's not justified at all.
    First of, one of the big new mechanics: Demon Slave. On paper, this sounds really cool, and it actually gives you more tools to work with to mix up your combo game. What's not cool is, in order to accommodate this new mechanic, most areas had to be made way too large and the camera is almost always zoomed out, taking the focus away from the player character. Combine this with the reduced and blurry environment visuals (because the Switch is just not able to handle the scope of Demon Slave) and you get a game that looks like a blurry mess almost all of the time.
    Being able to swap between two different weapons (even mid-combo) is nice, but it's nowhere near as unique as being able to assign different weapons to hands and feet in the first two games.
    Demon Masquerade is ok, it's basically Beast/Crow within with a bit more variety that's tied to the weapon Bayonetta is currently using. This is one of few new additions that I think is beneficial for the gameplay.
    The action is constantly being broken up either by cutscenes or gimmicky verses that don't have much to do with the actual combo-heavy beat-em-up action which is supposed to be the meat of a Bayonetta game. These sections also look completely unimpressive (not even on par with Bayonetta 2 visuals) thanks to the fact that Kamiya basically decided to disregard the capabilites of the hardware he was developing for. I personally already had a problem with gimmicky sections in the first two games and I was hoping that Platinum would mostly do away with these and would focus even more on the combat in this game. Unfortunately that's not the case.
    The combat itself also feels somewhat worse than in Bayonetta 1 and 2, which is mostly due to the large „arena“ fights. Due to the fact that the camera is always zoomed out, you can't always tell what the smaller enemies are actually doing and the bigger ones can easily hit you when they're off screen. New enemies are quite bland, both mechanically and visually, and their colour scheme blends in way too much with the environment. Even returning enemies from the first two games feel off and their models look worse. Even then, there were times when I was thinking, „ok, this game might not be that bad after all“ only for the action to be interrupted by another demon-riding section, some other gimmick or an uninteresting/visually unimpressive cutscene.

    Bayonetta as a character also feels watered down and too tame compared to the previous entries, and I really don't care about the fact that this is a different version of Bayonetta. She is less fun, tongue-in-cheek and overall less „badass“.
    The story was never the strong point in a Bayonetta game, but this one is even more uninteresting and just rides the multiverse bandwagon that seems to be all the rage in popular fiction these days. The ending is basically „rocks fall, everybody dies“. I'd only recommend this game to the most hardcore Bayonetta fans and I think even some of those fans would be disappointed with at least some aspects of this game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Em 2020 eu comecei um canal no youtube e bayonetta se tornou um dos principais assuntos que abordo nele, sendo até o único canal brasileiro focado nela. A espera pro terceiro jogo estava grande e posso dizer que em certos sentidos o terceiro jogo foi muito superior aos antecessores, mas que nos quesitos ruins ele também se destacou muito. Pra começar, vamos aos acertos do jogo:

    O combate certamente é o melhor de toda a saga é fluído e bonito. A exploração é divertida principalmente quando usamos o demon masquarede ou as habilidades dos demônios. O demon slave foi o grande acerto do terceiro título, controlar nossos parceiros infernais que eram meros artifícios de finalizar inimigos torna o jogo diverso e mais interessante, cada um tem sua habilidade única, tornando as lutas criativas. As fases com Jeanne são um respiro de criatividade e diversão. As novas armas são interessantes e muito bem desenhadas. o design do excelente departamento de arte da platinum continua no terceiro game e sem demonstrar sinais de ociosidade ou cansaço. Bayonetta interagindo com suas variantes é um ponto alto da história. Viola é uma excelente nova personagem. A árvore de habilidades. Excelentes momentos de ação. E claro, a trilha sonora, está impecável!

    Agora onde o jogo peca: uma câmera terrível e sofrível, que consegue em certos momentos ser pior que a do primeiro jogo. Não podemos mais customizar armas nas mãos e pernas de maneira separada, sendo que isso era um identidade da franquia. Quedas de resolução e fps que deixam o jogo com qualidade gráfica por vezes inferior aos 2 anteriores. Existem bugs de hitbox que não eram pra estar em um título que levou 8 anos pra ser desenvolvido. A gameplay da viola não é tão divertida quanto a de Bayonetta ou até de Jeanne. Esse jogo tem a história mais mal escrita de toda a saga, cheio de furos e contradições. Singularity é o pior antagonista da saga. Existem muitas áreas grande sem absolutamente nada a se fazer. Alguns acessórios quebram a gameplay, por exemplo um impede que seus demônios entrem em rage mesmo sofrendo grande danos, permitindo assim você usa-los a vontade sem sofrer consequências. Por vezes temos fases secretas pouco inspiradas.

    Minha nota pra esse novo game da nossa querida bruxa é 7.5, poderia ser muito mais se certas ideias tivessem um desenvolvimento melhor. Se realmente você for um grande fã compensa comprar pelo preço cheio, se estiver afim de conhecer a saga, os 2 primeiros games são uma pedida melhor.    … Expand

    The new character doesn't go even close to offset this huge problem.
    Kamiya, you just set a whole fanbase on fire.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the worst in the series, the combat is not as fluid as in 2 and 1, hits have way less inpact in this one, some enemy desgine are great other not so much, overall a let down, demon slave mechanic is the one of the worst things, enemys shield so you are forced to use it, the new weapons are boring, the only thing ok was the yoyo, the constant transforming into madam butterfly and other demons is hella stupid, no clothes are coming off this time only in demon slave form, Bayonetta herself is just a shadow of her former self shes just a different character lost almost all sex appeal she had going for her, viola and luka feel forced, kamiya himself said she has nothing for him only teasing,
    This has really the worst story, it kinda negelects the events happening in 1 and 2
    jeanne is unplayable, costumes are boring, nothing really feels great in this game it lost alot of uniquness is had, the art in bayo 1 and 2 was a lot better also and the models, hashimoto carried both game with it, this one is made withouthim so i guess thats it    … Expand

    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.
