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

    The first Bayonetta game I didn't immediately start a second play through after finishing it. I actually haven't even bothered to go back and play it again. Pretty much everything here feels like a step backwards from Bayonetta 1 and 2. Gameplay is like two steps sideways and one step backwards. Cut scenes, dialogue and characters are less entertaining. Story is meh. Some    7.1/10

Cut scenes, dialogue and characters are less entertaining. Story is meh. Some parts of the game don't look that great and it doesn't always run smoothly. 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. ¿Es un buen juego? Sí. Pero a mí no me ha gustado demasiado, y menos como Bayonetta.
    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.

    En fin, si tuviera que resumirlo, sería así: Bayonetta 3 = Spiderman No way home + Multiverso de la Locura + bayonetta + Godzilla + NieR    … 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

You can spend 20 of the best gameplay ever and later you have to spend 10 more minutes doing boring things that don't help with the passing of the game. Also, what with that ending OMG! that was horrible, so stupid it doesn't make sense. Anyway, very recommended game but a flawed one almost perfect… Expand

    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 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.
