Not that Platinum aren’t at least trying through some semblance of variety, but the efforts offered in Bayonetta 3 don’t capitalize on the prospect a universe-hopping adventure may initially point towards. Or how this aged hardware puts a major dent on the visual fidelity of the locales. There’s an issue to raise about the shackling to Nintendo’s platform how despite its best efforts to maintain a solid 60FPS during play, that that framerate can dip and stutter from time to time.

It also in a way skirts around a more important critique about the long-awaited, third outing in a series of angelic, demonic and now multiverse-travelling entities running amok. To say Bayonetta 3 is similarly ludicrous in how it flashes its ever-increasing spectacles one after another wouldn’t just be an understatement.
Ludicrous, ridiculous but oh so indulgent and compelling to see through to its final climax. And while combat hasn’t been the one and only component to Platinum’s likability, it wouldn’t be a miss to claim gameplay revolving around mastering the mechanics - while being stylish about it - has been so integral to the developer’s DNA. Subsequent releases often taking the base formula, tweaking it, adding to it, having it pop up in unexpected ways. Ever since that fabled 2009 release, most of Platinum’s output thereon has been built on what the original Bayonetta established and did so in brilliant fashion. Come up with one area of expertise or term that best encapsulates PlatinumGames as a developer modus operandi and you can be sure that combat will be many people’s first and immediate answer. But of course, Bayonetta’s success wasn’t just down to the likability of its lead or the tongue-in-cheek ridiculousness of its story. To the point that following on from a Wii U-exclusive sequel in 2014, such was the strength of public popularity, it even brought the beloved Umbra Witch into the fold of Nintendo’s cross-over fighting series, Super Smash Bros. A debut year that saw no fewer than three games release from the once solely Osaka-based developer: Mad World, Infinite Space (both exclusive to Nintendo’s systems via the Wii and DS, respectively) and last but not least, the one that wound up standing out most: Bayonetta.Ī game of unapologetic hijinx, over-the-top spectacle and a character whose confident, sassy demeanor quickly won many over. Having established itself (and herself) way back in 2009, a year that saw the now-iconic capital P manifest for the first time. Both as a game and leading protagonist alike. That being a game - so too, a main lead - as iconic as the original Bayonetta. You'll also slash and slay as Viola, a feisty witch in training who fights with a sword and a capricious companion, the demon Cheshire.Heaven forbid if PlatinumGames were to ever be forced to shutter up, close shop and add their name to the long (and ever-growing) list of defunct studios, perhaps they might take solace in the knowledge that what they’d leave behind in their legacy was that which any outfit dreams of creating. A bounty of Bayonettas! Fight your way through the streets of Tokyo, the mountains of China, and many other locales! Along the way you'll meet a virtual coven of Bayonettas, each more fabulous than the last.
She can also summon her demonic darlings like Gomorrah, Malphas, and Phantasmaraneae during battle, unleashing their demonic powers in the heat of combat and in new, larger-than life battles where you directly control the action. Tap into Bayonetta's naughtier side with Demon Masquerade, a new ability that channels the demon linked to her weapon allowing for some exciting action options, not to mention some hair-raising combos. This time, invading manmade bioweapons called Homunculi find themselves in Bayonetta's crosshairs. Sporting a wicked new ensemble and somehow familiar pigtails, the titular Umbra Witch must face a mysterious evil using her signature guns and time-slowing Witch Time ability. The witch is back and more powerful than ever! Bayonetta struts through multiple locations in an all-new, over-the-top climax action game.
