This is the first Bayonetta game I didn't immediately start a second play through after finishing it. I actually haven't even bothered to go back and play it again.
Pretty much everything here feels like a big step backwards from Bayonetta 1 and 2. Gameplay is like two steps sideways and one step backwards (maybe this isn't even harsh enough). Cut scenes, dialogue and characters are less entertaining. Story is meh. Some parts of the game don't look that great and it doesn't always run smoothly. It's bloated and feels like it drags on way too long.
Bayonetta 3 honestly confuses me. Why did they make locations so big and open? Why did gameplay pull focus away from the core combat? What happened to Bayonetta's personality and dialogue? The voice actress stuff is sad and the new actor definitely is not even close to Bayonetta. Why do mainstream critics seem to like this game so much? Bayonetta got neutered.
Bayonetta 3 is worth playing through and it's still fun and engaging just nowhere near much as it was in the previous two games.
7.1/10
