    It's a really cool game
    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.

Veo muchas criticas hacía los gráficos, pero realmente es absurdo ya que todos los juegos de Switch a comparación de un PS5 obviamente no va a haber punto de comparación, sin embargo Bayonetta 3 corre a 60 fps y corre bastante bien, que paren el mame los que dicen que tiene bajones de frames, ya que en verdad no se nota a menos de que tengas ojo de lince. En conclusión háganse un favor y jueguen esta pieza maestra.… Expand

    Спасибо Platinum Games и Хидеки Камии за то, что не сделали Байку лесбухой и этим подожгли как левацкие жопы в твиттере, так и жопы некоторых игрожуров (да-да, это не шутки).

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

    I must say, the wait was definitely worth it. This is the most definite Bayonetta experience, Team Little Angels really outdone themselves with this one. Everything that was added in the previous two title is present, and more. Just play the game

The music is also great and Jennifer Hale did a fantastic job of voicing Bayonetta. Bayonetta 3 is truly an action game masterpiece!… Expand

    Impressive ending for an impressive trilogy. Almost every 5 minutes the game pulled my jaw to the floor. Of course, the graphics are hurt by the switch hardware but that's the same for every switch game, I can't take points for that reason alone. 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

    For me this is the best bayonetta game of the trilogy. The story actually makes a little bit of sense and the game play is amazing. 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. Overall, this is just more bayonetta goodness cranked up to an even more epic notch.… Expand

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

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

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

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

    The guys at Platinum have outdone themselves completely.

    I just wish the whole voice actress fiasco wouldn't have happened, because I think it was a bad move on both sides.

    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.
