Bayonetta

Played this game for the first time in 2026, just because it was released 9 years ago on steam doesn't count as it isn't 17 years old so here's my thoughts: Story: Pretty solid, 9/10 Graphics: All things considered for when it was released, imo, they feel timeless and for the gameplay itself they go under the radar Gameplay: My first ever hack and slash so i don't have something to compare it to, pretty solid once again but, here i have to mention that there are some obnoxious bugs such as sound problems when switching devices, not being able to choose the new AUX in the settings (this review is for the players, not for the devs since i know you can't offer a QOL for a game that old that doesn't have planned a remaster anytime soon), some levels such as Isla Del Sol have pretty obnoxious bugs that can be fixed only by rebooting the game. Summary: I do recommend it to ppl that don't strive for the newest graphics possible and would appreciate older graphics in exchange for a good story telling experience to play it :D

I had fun, Bayonetta is really over the top with its fights and cut scenes lol. I found it best playing with a controller (I used the steam controller to play the game).

Bayonetta is an odd game for me. The cutscenes are definitely over the top, but Bayonetta just likes doing weird sht in combat. The actual combat of the game is really solid, flows good and boss fights are fun. The game is a bit older, and you'll see that in it's graphics, but I think it holds up pretty well. Sadly, Nintendo won't ever release the other Bayonetta games, so this is all you'll be getting on Steam. The only reason we have this one is because Sega was the one who funded and published it, then refused the plans for a second, where Nintendo stepped in and released 2 more. I love the story in this game, I think it's dark and kinda just messed up, but it's so unique and silly, reminds me of Devil May Cry in a few ways. Easy recommendation. Mari Shimazaki knew what she was doing when she designed Bayonetta.. xd
