Bayonetta 2 is a weird one for me to review. Initially when I played it on my Steam Deck in the Wii U version (with 60fps cutscenes), I was blown away by how incredible and pixel sharp it looked, outclassing most of the Switch titles from today even. It immediately felt like a huge improvement in so many aspects. The difficulty was more balanced, the dodge Iframes were more fair and overall it felt like a real sequel with significant improvements and I was sure this could get a better rating than 1 from me or at least the same. But in the last third of the game, maybe at half time point even, it just turns into a boss rush mode with boss after boss after boss after boss after boss without any big traversal or story passages and with that, it started to stagnate, because all you do for a long time here is fighting everyone the exact same way with the exact same handful of combos over and over and over again and I really had a hard time finishing it.
It gets a bit better again at the very end and overall I still liked it very much, but man, the middle to end part was really rough in my opinion and almost ruined the game for me.
