    Bayonetta is one of the best & most underrated series in gaming PERIOD. Replaying this game in 2022 right before 3 comes out made me love it even more than I did all those years ago in my first (admittedly rough) playthrough.

The Bayonetta games may have my favorite combat system in any game (rivaled by the new Spider-Man games & some others) And I may be in the minority, but I really enjoy the stories of both games! I prefer Bayo 1’s story to Bayo 2’s, but the combat of 2 >1. The story pacing is a bit wonky, but things always escalate out of control by the end, I truly love how ridiculous and campy these games get. Bayonetta herself is the icon, the legend & the moment.… Expand

    The sequel to the original that improves the action, craziness, cinematics and combat so well its legit one of the best character action games of all time and worthy of best game of 2014. The Boss fights are amazing and intense. The story is solid and with a great throughline that supplements the action. The cutscenes are so fun and full of personality and life.

Only issue would be umbran climax but only at high level, which really is so small. Its a 9.5/10 an action masterclass. Let's Dance BOYS!… Expand

    A MIRACLE OF A SEQUEL.
    I thought the first game was alright, and I played this game not expecting much but was blown away by the vastly improved combat, dialogue, and overall story—a must-play for everyone.

    What could it be said when a game is touch perfection. It's an ectasy of fabulous action gameplay. You've got no time to take a breath. It's always moving, fighting, dancing, shooting... just the best Hack and Slash of all time. The only thing to said in this platform is that has some minimal FPS issues.

    Mejora bastante la tosquedad del primer juego, proponiendo una experiencia mucho más arcade. Lástima que haya muchísimos niveles que sólamente sean jefes y el juego se pueda terminar en un fin de semana, a un ritmo no demasiado alto.

    One of the best hack'n'slash of all time! Simply wonderful! The pacing is really intense, great character design, a relly crazy story and an excellent combat system. If you are a fan of Bayo 1 or Devil May Cry, you gotta play this game!

    BAYONETTA 2 is like BAYONETTA 1, but better. I prefer BAYONETTA 2 to BAYONETTA 1, which is saying a lot considering how much I enjoyed the previous game.

    I just finished. I finished with the emulator. I did not even feel it was the emulator. It was very good. Another game I expected to the PC. I would buy it if it comes. But if it doesn't come, you can play it with the emulator. Legend is the game. Nier automata = Bayonetta 2> all games

    Usually when I review something its really long and I try to highlight on both negative and positive aspects of the game. But Bayonetta 2, its so damn good that you literally have to force yourself to find something bad about it.

    If you have a Wii U, or don't, and you have ANY interest in the action genre, GET THIS GAME. Platinum went far and FAR beyond what they even needed to put in this game to make it good and just made it an absolutely unforgettable experience. The gameplay is incredibly solid, expanding on EVERYTHING the first game had to offer. The amount of weapons and characters and items that spice up the gameplay is so vast and incredible. Getting bored of your current combos and setup? That's alright, just switch it up and everything is fresh again. Most weapons just feel very differently rather than reskins of eachother.

    The combos flow so smoothly and once again Witch Time has proved itself to be one of the best mechanics to ever grace an action game, or video game in general. The amount of trial and error involved with the bosses and enemies creates for a fun and challenging experience, learning the visual cues to enemies attacks is a core feature in this game and is actually really enjoyable considering the enemies are ALWAYS being switched up. Every chapter is filled with so much carnage that I can't specifically pick out any one that I didn't enjoy. It was a ride the whole way through.

    Even afterwards I cannot stop playing, with all the extra costumes, weapons, bosses, challenges, equipment to unlock and even the new online TAG CLIMAX mode, where you compete for halos and combo scores. There's so much to do that I cannot even fathom myself becoming bored with this title.

    The story was a HUGE improvement over the first, and was also great, even though the gameplay is the main attraction. The new characters such as Loki were very well developed. No spoilers involved but this game took a really risky plot device (Time Travel) and really actually made it work. Its a split between a sequel and a prequel, as the events do follow after bayonetta 1 but they also do a great job to explain the events that transpired in Bayonetta 1.    … Expand

    One of the best platinum games, although in my opinion slightly inferior to Nier Automata although superior to 1. Control is a delight. If you are a fan of hack and slash, this is for you.

    Bayonetta 2 is CRAZY! The combat, story and characters are great and this game is VERY addicting.
    Bayonetta is very over-sexualised which is the biggest flaw with this game. Throughout the whole game, a good difficulty is maintained and the game does become less about the "character design" in the cutscenes and more about the epic story.
    Fantastic game, just not for the younger people.

    Really good action game with over the top sexualized main character that may offend some or seem juvenile, but its a good game.

This one my favourite Wii-U games and I recommend it, if you have a Wii-U - play! - if you don't have one - play! I must confess that initially Bayonetta was a game with everything I don't like in a game but when I gave it a chance, I simply fell in love with it, and those things I initially (before palying) 'disliked' in it weren't the focus of the game and I simply didn't have to care with them, so if someone just like me could play it, everyone can play.… Expand

    Sin ser PARA NADA un paseo de juego, lo han hecho más fácil que su antecesor, que no significa peor, LO CONTRARIO. La jugabilidad se ha visto incrementada con cosas como la barra de magia, que la han dado un mejor aprovechamiento dando la posibilidad de utilizar invocaciones para hacer combos APLASTANTES tanto enemigos pequeños como a los bosses de mayor tamaño; más luego una mayor cantidad de modos de juego habiendo incluído multijugador online y niveles arcade extra que te los desbloqueas una vez pasada la campaña.

    Este título es un más y mejor del título anterior. No te importará la historia, no te importarán las cinemáticas...sólo querrás que dejen de hablar para seguir pegando hostias como panes y seguir acribillando, descuartizando y machacando ángeles y demonios.

    Bayonetta 2 is an outright fantastic game. It’s another very good reason to own a Wii U and it outclasses practically every other game of this type by a considerable margin.

    I had a lot of questions in my head when I launched Bayonetta 2 for the first time. Is it possible to design a combat system as awesome as before, make it familiar, but not hackneyed? Is it possible to outshine the closing moments of the first game? The sequel needed just a couple of minutes to dispel all my concerns. [Dec 2014, p.62]

    A more focused, more vibrant game that surpasses its predecessor and establishes itself as the best game on the Wii U and as the newest masterpiece of the genre.
