Bayonetta is the story of two conflicting Witch tribes and the constant struggle between Heaven and Hell. You play as Bayonetta, a witch with guns hooked to her heels and endless combination moves. You awakenBayonetta & Vanquish 10th Aniversary Bundle brings back Platinum's hit games to the current generation of consoles. Both games are High paced, adrenaline-fueled, non-stop intensity. Bayonetta is the story of two conflicting Witch tribes and the constant struggle between Heaven and Hell. You play as Bayonetta, a witch with guns hooked to her heels and endless combination moves. You awaken after 20 years asleep at the bottom of a lake, without all of your memories. You spend the game piecing together the past and using her insane arsenal of enemy weapons, and her magical hair, to destroy anything in your path from the smallest enemies to massive bosses. Vanquish is a slightly different game, taking us from the following wide-view camera to a Third-Person over the shoulder cover-based shooter. You play as Sam Gideon, a Badass with a capital B. The country is being threatened by the Russians, with San Francisco destroyed, and New York in their crosshairs. With a wild collection of firearms at your disposal and an augmented battle suit, you slide and blast your way past hundreds of enemies, ranging from soldiers to huge Bosses. The gameplay for both of these titles has been pushed to 60fps and the constant action is creamy smooth. The cutscenes still feel a bit dated, but the intense gameplay more than makes up for these. For those who missed these titles over the last 10 years, here's your chance to enjoy two of the most intense action games made in the last decade.… Expand

    This is Very Good Remaster it does what its supposed to do. The Games play well and the 4K 60 fps look very nice.

    These are two very fantastic games that need to be played by action fans. Bayonetta is the star of the show with its flawless execution and Vanquish is a damn good game, but its slowdown in its cutscenes keep it from being a flawless upgrade. Either way, this collection is a great representation of the best that Platinum Games has developed. If you want to see their best work, then look no further!

    Funny enough Vanquish seems to be a better game after all these years. The cover-based combat just feels so much better now than I remember it. Not sure if that has to do with the rock-solid frame rate or just the passing time, but this game is sublime. Pulling off stylish actions feels natural. The sliding mechanic just works, and makes combat more fun than most cover shooters. This is a game that has stood the test of time and somehow works better today than it did ten years ago.

    If you haven’t player either Bayonetta or Vanquish, now’s the best time. Despite the visuals showing their age at times, both games play brilliantly on an Xbox One X. Most importantly, the action is just as thrilling now as it was back in 2010.
