    its very good made but the fights are often button mashing.
    the worlds look awesome and the enemies are very good designed.
    still button mashing ;)

    Easily my pick for game of the year (2014), Bayonetta 2 is insane hack and slash action at it's finest. With epic boss fights, gorgeous scenery, and an awesome soundtrack.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Flawless, nothing else to say!
    While the first one is great, this one I believe should appeal to all kind of gamers, given it is a true masterpiece.

    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.

    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.

    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 reallyBayonetta is one of the best & most underrated series in gaming PERIOD.

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.

    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.

    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. Its just so consistent andThe 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.

Its just so consistent and great. The environments look really cool, the enemies are improved and lore with amazing demons better weapons and fights, just everything. 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

    Ce jeu ! Mais tous les jours dans mes veines s'il vous plait ! Un must à faire pour les amateurs de beat them all. Une version officiel PC serait là bien venue.

    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.

    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.
