Bayonetta

[h1]Bayonetta[/h1] how can i describe this game? *take a puff* it's BEAUTIFUL, from the moment i booted it up and saw that platinum P logo i had a feeling "aren't those the same guys that made metal gear rising? could it be?". and the incredible e fun intro started to tickle this thought even more until i completed the first mission, i could see their DNA their magical touch and humor always on point (it's not for everyone but personally i love it). bayonetta aged like fine vine: incredible music, amazing art direction, superb fights and bosses, the right lenght, a nice replayability especially if you care about platinum/pure platinum awards, good and fun achievements, and a lovely carismatic funny badass and sexy protagonist. some things didn't aged that well to for example chapter route 666 and isla de sol are meh on subsequent playtroughts and personally the lustitia boss fight isn't that great ough. i absolutely raccomend bayonetta, i always wanted to play this game but i never found the right moment and mood for it, this last week a friend of mine pushed me to play it since it was short and had no bs achievements so it was perfect for me in that moment. ig i have to be thankfull to him ahah, i'm in love with bayonetta now and longing for more, sadly the other 2 games are not available on steam so i got screwed up another time like enzo. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3801687052

Amazing game from a time where this was probably some of the last big risks Sega would take. This is devil may cry, but with the protagonist gender swapped and the dominatrix diva turned up to 11/10 trying to make witches cool again. Yes it has sex appeal, but not in your traditional Japan videogame way (except maybe that one graveyard scene). Many of the sequences put even the earliest devil may cry games to shame with how obsurd and abstract they are. Add to that the little nods every now and then to Segas past too, and it makes you wonder why on earth Sega treated platinum so bad that they moved in with Nintendo. The only thing that let's the game down? This game is NOT as novice friendly as other similar games. It's often chaotic later on and hard to follow what's going on until you get used to it. The replay value of these games is often also the returning to improve your mastery, but MY GOD the grading system! What's the point of giving the player the option to use items if my grading falls off a cliff for using them?! And dying? You might as well restart the level. Which brings me to the next issue: this game has QTEs WHERE THE PRICE FOR FAILURE IS DEATH and a worse rank for the level to match! because of course it does... I think the player wanted to play as a magical dominatrix witch, not have their gameplay graded by one! "Oh? You died? Restart the level or you get stone awards like the beta gamer worm under my shoe that you are!" And yet despite all this, I still recommend this, IF you can handle her...
