    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.

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished the game and I could conclude that Nintendo managed to destroy one of the most consistent franchises ever made and produce one of the worst virtual garbage I've ever seen in my life.

    The biggest and most crucial point of any game is the story and how it connects or doesn't connect with the previous narratives.
    Even with 2 games already produced and plenty of luggage to explore the Bayonetta universe, they managed, even with 5 years of development, to write a story that seems to have been made in 1 week by interns born in 2010.

    It is not explained where the villain came from, his motivation and how he gains his powers. Introduces meaningless power to Luca. It doesn't present Viola's past, besides being a character without personality and cheesy visuals. The ending doesn't explain how the other Bayonettas survived. And finally, the story has nothing to do with the universe (Inferno and Paradiso) so far already created.

    I hope from the bottom of my heart, as a great appreciator, fan and player of hack in slash since the beginning, that everything goes wrong in this "new generation" and that this game loses all the appreciation held by fans to this day.

    Definitely the luckiest person in all this was Helena Taylor, who despite the controversy surrounding the game, doesn't have her name linked to it.

    I can imagine the shame it must have been to participate in creating the story of this disaster.

    ---

    Acabei de finalizar o jogo e pude concluir que a Nintendo conseguiu detruir umas das franquias mais consistentes ja feitas e produzir um dos piores lixos virtuais que já vi na minha vida.

    O maior ponto e o mais crucial de qualquer jogo é a história e como ela se conecta ou deixa de se conectar com as narrativas anteriores.
    Mesmo com 2 jogos já produzidos e bagagem de sobra para explorar o universo Bayonetta, conseguiram, mesmo com 5 anos de desenvolvimento, escrever uma história que parece ter sido feita em 1 semana por estagiários nascidos em 2010.

    Não se explica de onde surgiu o vilão, sua motivação e como ganha seus poderes. Introduz um poder sem sentido para Luca. Não apresenta o passado de Viola, além de ser uma personagem sem personalidade e visual brega. O final não explica como as outras Bayonettas sobreviveram. E para finalizar, a história não tem relação nenhuma com o universo (Inferno e Paradiso) até então já criado.

    Espero do fundo do meu coração, como um grande apreciador, fã e jogador de hack in slash desde os primordios, que tudo de errado nessa "nova geração" e que esse jogo perca a todo o apreço tido pelos fãs até os dias de hoje.

    Definitivamente a pessoa mais sortuda nisso tudo foi Helena Taylor, que apesar das polemicas envolvendo o jogo, não tem seu nome vinculado a ele.

    Imagino a vergonha que deve ter sido participar da criação da história desse dessastre.    … Expand

It’s little bit difficult to explain, but Bayonetta is bumped into a girl named Viola, whos coming from another dimension to warn Bayonetta and ask for her help.

    Bayonetta 3 takes place in multiple places in Multiverse. It’s little bit difficult to explain, but Bayonetta is bumped into a girl named Viola, whos coming from another dimension to warn Bayonetta and ask for her help. An entity known as Singularity unleashes the Homunculi throughout the multiverse in an attempt to destroy each world without it. In the aim to create an Alphaverse. So, Bayonetta has to go other realms to collect five Chaos Gears. In these other realms, or realities, she comes across other Bayonettas which she also gets a new Demons, that are used in battles.

    What comes to the gameplay and battle, the game is little bit different. In the past two other Bayonetta games, you can summon Demons to help you in the battle, but in Bayonetta 3, player can now fully control them. The battle system is otherwise pretty much the same than before. You can fight using Bayonetta and her over-the-top fighting system or you can summon Demons. The only thing is that Bayonetta has to dance to keep the summoning up, if she got hit, the summoning stops. There’s also a magic meter that runs out eventually and it need to be charged to summon again.

    There’s other characters that can be played as, which are Viola and Jeanne. Controlling Viola the fighting is little bit different, because Viola can enter slow-motion called Witch Time only parrying attacks, when Bayonetta can do it only by dodgin attacks. This sudden change middle of gameplay can feel quite jarring and personally I didn’t learn the parrying very well.

    There’s also other gameplay modes; when playing Jeanne and with the Demons. In Jeanne’s gameplay it is sideway scrolling, which I hated. Jeanne has to do sneaking in a facility and get through the area with time-limit. I hate time-limits!!

    The huge Demon fights (kaiju) happens couple times in the game. It’s like some slow-motion Street Fighter between two monsters. It was a nice addition to the main gameplay, but it didn’t feel as spectacular as it could’ve.

    Even though it might sound that Bayonetta 3 has lots of different gameplay modes, but it fells short. I think Bayonetta 1 and 2 has more over-the-top action happening. This didn’t feel as “crazy” as the other games.

    What I loved in the two other games was the music. Bayonetta never let me down with the music aspect, expect in this one. Bayonetta 3 didn’t have the same kind of impact in music and I was so disappointed about it. I had waited to add new Bayonetta music into my music library, but sadly there’s nothing to add.

    Graphically the games looks terrible. I think it’s not the developer’s fault, it is Nintendo’s, because Nintendo Switch is over 10 year old mobile technology. This game could easily be on PS3 console, in fact, it doesn’t look much different than the first Bayonetta game, that game out in 2009.

    The game had some puzzles here and there. The developer didn’t seem to put much of effort to them, since they were kinda easy to solve, except one which I had to seek help online.

    As you probably know the voice-actor-fiasco that Bayonetta 3 had just before the launch, I must say, I didn’t even notice that the Bayonetta voice actor was different. It was voiced by legendary Jennifer Hale, who has done lots of video game actings.

    THE FINAL VERDICT
    Bayonetta 3 kinda let me down. It didn’t feel as over-the-top-insane-action as the other two games did. It had its nice moments with the story and few twists here and there. The final twist the game had in the end I did already saw coming. The gameplay was tried to kept fresh by adding new characters to play, but the gameplay fell short and was uninterested. Even the music was a huge let down. Bayonetta 3 was about 10 hours long and it has lots of collectables and some replay-value.    … Expand

    Bayonetta 3's stories crushed my hopes and dreams. It falls into a bland formula in the beginning, and gets even worse at the end, leaving me with more questions than answers.

Although I do think that demon masquerade is a bit of a downgrade compared to the simpler mechanics of the first two games, combos are extremely fun and demon slave is perfect. Viola's style is personally not one I like, but I can see why others enjoy her. I also think everything is much clearer in the game, like Rodin's shop, accessories, umbran tears of blood, unlocking new skills--its all made much simpler and is also much cheaper, thankfully. I also have a hand full of nitpicks, like how the demon riding sections feel clunky, lack of costumes aside from the other bayonettas you meet, torture attacks being less satisfying to execute, no separate feet weapons, some levels not being distinct enough, etc., but none of that takes away from how fun the game can be. If you love hack and slashes, this is definitely a game you should play!! However, if you're a diehard Bayonetta fan, be prepared for a much weaker story than previous entries. I think Bayonetta 1 and 2 are much better games both story and (to an extent) gameplay wise, but I still recommend the game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Байонетта моя любимая серия игр, я оставил в предыдущих частях сотни часов, открывал все секреты, проходил на чистую платину. И потому ожидания от продолжения были позитивными. Я ждал, что PlatinumGames сделают если не лучше, то хотя бы не хуже, потому что что-то лучше второй части представить было трудно. Игра вышла очень даже ничего, новая боевая система чувствуется действительно по-новому. Но последний час игры буквально вытянул весь кислород из дома и отбил всё желание перепроходить игру на высший ранг.

    Концовка игры это просто разочарование года. Хотя между короткой завязкой и душно затянутой развязкой сюжета почти нет, поэтому слита половина всего нарратива, если не больше. Сюжеты первой и второй части были не то что забыты, они буквально брошены в помойку, ведь Байонетты из первой и второй части оказывается теперь из разных вселенных, а новая барышня вообще никакого отношения к прошлому не имеет. Завершающая глава невыносимая тягомотина, где безликого главного злодея пытаются эпично слить 3-4 раза, пафос невероятный, ты думаешь ну всё, после этого только закликать до смерти, но нет, ты опять должен его бить с новыми силами. А после титров вообще новый босс, теперь бей его за Виолу. Это был какой-то кошмар наяву.

    Самое печальное, чего я боялся больше всего за игру, это введение в сюжет любовной линии, причём сделали её отвратительно посредственной. Прошлые части буквально стебали всех любителей пэйрингов, героиня была сильной, независимой (лол) и недосягаемой, а Лука как главный ловелас всегда был осмеян и являлся элементом комедийным. Это и другие элементы держали игру на той постироничной ноте, где Байонетта вытворяет всякие пикантности и одновременно бьёт тебя по носу, если ты тут на что-то расчитывал.

    Теперь же у нас за час до конца внезапный пэйринг с Лукой и любовь навечно. И ещё у них внезапная дочь, хотя и из другой вселенной, но вроде как считается. Поэтому теперь Байонетта умирает и да здравствует новая Байонетта, то есть Виола. Даже если и вводить какую-то любовную историю, можно было хотя бы раскрыть Луку, потому что всю игру он либо посмешище, либо про него просто забыли.

    Я не знаю как можно было так слить в трубу хорошую основу первых двух частей и вместо этого выдать пшык. Это буквально смерть франшизы, ведь старая Байонетта мертва, а вместо неё новая для молодёжных и «крутых» геймеров-панков. Надеюсь, они будут довольны, потому что мне как «лютому траеру» и «non-stop PurePlatinum» бумеру доигрывать третью часть было невыносимо душно.    … 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.

Even the direction of the cinematics is boring and devoid of ideas. Seeing huge explosions and big monsters punching each other sounds cool, but it all depends on how you frame it and how you present it, and here, it's boring as hell.

It doesn’t feel as fluid as its predecessors. Also, I’ve noticed that the camera seems to always be in the wrong place for being able to see attacks, making the perfect dodge move incredibly frustrating. The combos just don’t seem to have the punch that they once did. It seems like the demon summoning makes the actual fun, fluid combat take a back seat while you lumber around controlling the big slow, dopey demons. And my God, that stupid hurtling through Tokyo on the dragon level was sooo bad. So annoyingly stupid. What really doesn’t help the game is the Switch’s capabilities. Grainy resolution with PS3 era graphics. The other thing that’s off are the characters faces. There’s times that they look fantastic but far too often they just look off and kind of weird. I wanted to love this game and was so excited for it but I’m incredibly disappointed. It feels like a less capable developer tried to make a Bayonetta game. I don’t even know if I’ll finish it.… Expand

Lastly for anyone who reads my review and says god of war.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 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

    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

    While I did enjoy some of the boss battles and the combat system to a degree, it's pathetic that the graphics look awful. It literally looks like a mobile game.

When I pay $60, I expect a game with top notch AAA quality. The story is beyond horrible. The physics are a joke. I jumped with Bayonetta on a platform full of cars, including a giant bus. Bayonetta's impact sent those vehicles bouncing off the rock platform. Yeah I get it, it's a game about some woman with superpowers, but that doesn't mean that they have to utterly defy the law of physics by making a 95 pound girl bounce off all that enormous weight.

    When it comes to music, video game developers over exaggerate the dramatic music in a pathetic attempt at making the game feel intense. This game takes the cake in that regard. None of that is intense to me. If anything, it makes it feel like a comedy. And the gaming community wonders why this medium doesn't get taken as serious as movies or TV shows, it's because of garbage like this. The developers added boring side scrolling sections and minigames, because they are too cheap and lazy to design all levels with the core gameplay mechanics. The side scrolling character irritates me when she make the "Ha" sound, it's cringeworthy. The regular enemies are boring. Bayonetta's new voice actress is way better than the original, I'll give it that. The developers rely too much on pretty lights during every move, to give players the illusion that the game is fun.

    There is no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, there is literally not a reason to play this game again. Charging $60 for a game with no replay value is a cash grab. And the greedy developers had the audacity to charge $60 for this low quality game. I would recommend this game until there is a price drop.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

The story's twists are either obvious or don't make any sense with the pre-established characters.

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.

    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.
