I always appreciate the grassroots of games and see how they eventually grow, but unlike Devil May Cry, which I feel this game closely relates to(aside from the same producer and style of combat to an extent), there's no remnants of what it was which can still be seen in the game. While Bayonetta's characterization and the story in general feel much more prevalent in this game compared to again, Devil May Cry, its more or less brother; the awful QTE, Majority of bosses feeling nearly unfun to fight and janky controls takes a lot away from the great combat and fun if brief story. I enjoyed it up until a certain point, and then I wanted nothing more then to finish it and see how its sequel no doubt improved on the faults of the original.
