Being able to summon something in the middle of the combo always felt fun and fluid. But I do appreciate the option to go either way with this element to combat. While this is a neat feature, the monsters move way too slowly to allow Bayonetta to get hit. But you can also stay in place and control them for a time. Depending on how you play, it can be a way to spice up combos while dealing massive amounts of damage to enemies in a sweeping fashion. Especially with the highlight of the gameplay being that you can summon giant monsters to fight with you. Suffice it to say, that it keeps on getting crazier. As well as a giant sword 3 times her size that turns into dual chainsaws halfway through and ends with it turning into a train. All the way to having fiery yoyos that at the end of the combo turns you into a spider. But in this game, Bayonetta goes from the normal punching and kicking with gunplay mixed in. Even Crazier Combat in Bayonetta 3Īlongside the seriously crazy and fun boss fights are a similar amount of ways to fight and play in Bayonetta 3. In the previous games, there were experiments with weapons you could buy or find to spice up the gameplay. Every mission with Bayonetta always ends with one of these segments and it is always so much fun. Like an early point in the game where you fight a giant monster, as a giant monster. As well as crazy over-the-top set-piece moments that blew me away with how cool they were. Giving it the opportunity to stuff as many battle scenarios as possible. The way each mission for every character is carried out is also similarly linear to the previous games. While Jeanne barely speaks in hers as she radiates this aura of “less is more” that does not give me the opportunity to dislike her place in the story. Playing as her always felt like the lowest point of the game since Bayonetta, even in the first game, is fully realized and does not need to do much for me to adore her presence in the story. I could boil down her character design, writing, and even her voice acting as the epitome of “it’s not a phase, mom”. Which is laid bare during missions where you have to play as her. However, Viola is sadly not as great of a character as she could be. While you also get to play as her companion, Jeanne in bite-size side-scrolling missions in between the bombastic story missions with Bayonetta and the newest character, Viola. Bayonetta takes center stage with her never faltering swagger. The plot is as basic as ever but is carried, as always, by the charm each character radiates. From there it is up to her, and her companions both old and new, to stop the threat before it’s too late. The protagonist, Bayonetta finds a new enemy faction starting a catastrophic event for her and the earth. Leaving me satisfied outside of a few huge speedbumps and some haze along the way.īayonetta 3 starts as every game does. Since once I put my foot on the gas, it was almost impossible to stop. Familiar charming characters, action-packed set pieces, unbelievably satisfying combat, and thrill rides galore paced nearly perfectly. What they achieved in the previous entries is, instead, amped up to eleven in this game. But instead, question the quality of the game’s storytelling, when in reality, Bayonetta 1 and 2 never had an impressive story. As the talk is not just about how this third, and hopefully final entry delivers a grand finale. Ever since Bayonetta 3launched there has been a concerning amount of discourse surrounding it.
