Each weapon you acquire gives you the ability to ‘masquerade’ as a corresponding demon, giving you unique ways to get around the massive zones that make up Bayonetta 3’s world. Even 30 hours in, this whiplash from monster moshpit to Bayonetta ballet never gets old.Īnd that’s likely because there’s so much to do in between these spontaneous, violent, flash dances. Kaiju-like butterfly women, living trains, frogs, spiders… commanding them to do your bidding as you writhe and twerk feels incredible, and when you need to switch back to your guns and hammers and more traditional weapons for some nitty-gritty melee, you never miss a beat. Somehow, Platinum has made Bayonetta excel in both the micro and the macro. Fighting with a massive demon made of your own hair and summoning limbs at the same time? Sure! It’s like continuing on from Bayonetta 2, right out the gate – how many games manage to give you that god-like power fantasy right out of the gate? More impressively, Platinum has managed to thumb even more mechanics into the already-brimming cup for the sequel, with the highlight being your Demon Slaves – hulking monsters you can summon on a whim to inflict ludicrous amounts of damage on your foes, the world, and anything that gets in your way. The result is that even boss fights feel quick and punchy – nothing outstays its welcome, and the breakneck pace of it all makes you feel like the Hell-powered witch you’re supposed to be.įrom the off, before you’ve got any of the dumb and over-the-top weapons and demons you later possess, you still feel impossibly powerful. Throughout the game, combat is laid down rhythmically and tuned to last no more than a few minutes per go. Enemies are designed to get hit hard, and respond well to you serving them a naughty backhand, or stamping on their necks with a stiletto. Turning into a butterfly to get around feels amazing in your hands. The proverbial shit hits the metaphorical fan, and it’s time to fight – and right away, PlatinumGames shows you that it’s back in gear and ready for business. ![]() Once you’ve cleared the prologue and the stakes (read: the multiverse) have been made clear, you cut to your hair-powered, sassy witch, mincing down the streets of LA like a femdom en route to a gala. That languid intro seems intentionally placed to show you just how fast and furious the actual game is. Welcome to Bayonetta 3, one of the most pleasingly nonsense games you’ll have the pleasure of playing this year. A ragtag band of heroes lays dead around you, and you’re forced to watch as a spunky young upstart of a witch tears through the barriers of reality, desperate to save… something. You can’t run, you can’t jump, you can’t fight – you just stumble around as the life gets sucked out of this world you once called home. The introduction to the game is slow and irritating making you trudge, as Bayonetta, through a world that’s being torn apart by some unknowable entity of chaos. ![]() Bayonetta 3 plays even better than it looks.Īnd it starts not with a bang, but with a whimper.
