Very mixed feelings with this one.
On one hand the combat is as good as ever and there are some great "classic" Bayonetta moments in the game.
On the other hand the game gets bogged down by this whole unnecessary multiverse bullshit to produce a story I could only best describe as "lacking". That and the game has such a grand scope that it ultimately suffers because of, both in the technical aspects and in terms of the overall gameplay. In some ways this looks worse than Bayonetta 2, a game that came out like 9 years ago.
Did I have some fun with it, yeah sure. But the end result is somewhat of a mixed bag. I really wanted to love this, especially given that the first and second games are among some of my favorites. The end result, however, is kinda a mess with some good moments sprinkled in.
