absolutely atrocious at this game and i def have a couple problems with it but bayonetta herself is SUCH an icon that it literally overrides every problem i have. favourite game <3
+ when i was 4 my brother let me play the demo on his xbox 360. i think it's what turned me gay (according to him i actually got kind of good at it too?)

[Round 1]
- All Umbran Tears/LPs found
- Rodin weapon obtained
- All characters unlocked
Took me a while to actually enjoy this brown-filtered mess. It just looked so drab and uninteresting to look at, that I just couldn't get into it. The first few cutscenes where also a bit too odd and lore-filled to capture my attention, but once it clicked, it clicked. This thing's as fun as it is ridiculous.
I refuse to platinum every stage on every difficulty, tho. Even if I'm a completionist I have my limits.

Un buen hack 'n slash. Hay mucha variedad de armas, aunque al final te vas a quedar con aquellas que mas te molen y a repetir un combo hasta la saciedad. Algunos enemigos no están bien nivelados y hay alguno más difícil que un boss, lo cual no tiene mucho sentido, pero la música suple esta carencia perfectamente. Si, la historia y los personajes son tontos, pero aquí has venido a machacar botones matando ángeles.
let's be honest. we are not playing this game for the plot. the cutscenes are quirky but the exposition is so barebones that a first time player will genuinely not know what is happening beyond bayonetta's sexual tension with jeanne. but!! this game is so damn good that it doesn't even matter.
bayonetta is an extremely likeable protagonist. i understand why her nature might upset people, but she was designed by a woman dreaming up her power fantasy. her design is good and her personality is loud and unapologetic. this meshes well with the fact that the game is (surprise!) not about sex, and actually about kicking ass.
when you are not doing combat you will want to be doing combat. this game makes you feel like a champ. the combat is fast-paced and has impact and the visuals are striking. this livens up an otherwise dull (color-wise) game. the combat mechanics are absurd but easy to pick up, and you can still whip through the game stylishly without masterful combos or carpal tunnel. the boss fights are insane and large scale but SO FUN. and then you do all of this while listening to the music. let's dance boys serves as the ending song/sequence and imo some of the greatest video game music out there.
ultimately, a great hack-and-slash with points off for the gimmicky attempts at level traversal/platforming, trippy narrative you want to skip past, and the insta-death QTEs. fuck the QTEs.
