![]() I absolutely love the Bayonetta series so I replayed Bayonetta 1 and 2 back to back in readiness for this. It's full-on Bayonetta action, but much BIGGER and BADDER, a masterpiece! Well, it took FOREVER for Nintendo and Platinum to release It's full-on Bayonetta action, but much BIGGER and BADDER, a masterpiece! Well, it took FOREVER for Nintendo and Platinum to release Bayonetta 3 and I'm only too glad it's finally here. For any other series that might be satisfactory, but not for Bayonetta. It’s not a bad experience by any means, and it did have fairly unreasonable expectations to live up to, but it ended up falling rather short in just about every way. It really is a shame, especially after such a long wait. The whole thing can still often look colourful and eruptive, but is heavily anchored by the limits of the Switch – truly a cruel fate for what could be one of the craziest worlds to experience in a game if Platinum Games would be set free to do as they please. There are still signs of that unhinged expressiveness the others are renowned for under the layers of bleak environments and flat out boring narrative. The combat is still there, even if it is starting to rust up with age. If you’re on the fence about it – this isn’t going to be the one to change your opinion. Just don’t expect it to be the absurd larger-than-life addition than we all hoped it would be. Is Bayonetta 3 worth playing? If you’re already a fan, absolutely. Obviously, this episode is not perfect for all that, with its sometimes messy confrontations, its graphics far from being impeccable or its wiser side than usual, but it remains a new memorable adventure nonetheless. ![]() And then, the adventure is all the more pleasant to go through as it benefits from a high frame rate in combat, an epic staging, but also a more serious scenario which delivers a grandiose outcome. ![]() In addition to being a superb beat'em up, the title does not forget to offer a certain variety, both in its more open levels and in its game phases, in particular by making us play other characters like Viola and Joan. With this new adventure, Bayonetta proves once again that she is the queen of beat'em up by offering battles that are still as exhilarating and spectacular as ever, which are sublimated here thanks to many new weapons and the mechanics of summoning demons. Bayonetta 3 definitely marks the comeback of the Platinum Games witch. ![]()
